Chapter 1319 - 180, Frost Pavilion_3
Xiao Linshuang bit her lip, taking a long time to understand the meaning of his words and why Lao Fan wanted her to follow Wang Dahai at Hall of Salvation to learn medicine. Surely, it must have been to use her naivety and honesty to unravel the knots in Wang Dahai’s heart!
Catching a glimpse of Lao Fan, who was burying his head in his food and refusing to look up, Xiao Linshuang’s mouth twitched fiercely. It seemed she was being used by her own teacher!
After the misunderstanding with Wang Dahai was resolved, Xiao Linshuang’s meals became even more delectable, yet she nearly spit out her food when she heard Wang Dahai’s words.
"What? Brother, you want to be a military doctor? Then, what about sister-in-law and the little brother?"
Wang Dahai’s son was only two months old, and he was actually willing to be a military doctor, which entailed not only a prolonged absence from home but also possible life-threatening risks!
Among those present, only Xiao Linshuang was surprised by this news. Lao Fan knew Wang Dahai too well, and Lady Wang looked despondent yet helpless, obviously, the couple had discussed this matter before, and Lady Wang did not want him to go but couldn’t convince him.
Xiao Linshuang frowned deeply. Although the patients who came to Hall of Salvation were not from wealthy or noble families, Wang Dahai’s superb medical skills were more than enough to support his family—a fact incomparable to that of a military doctor.
"Le Xian, your uncle understands your intentions, but the Wang family only has you. With your son being so young, your uncle hopes you will think it through thoroughly."
If this had happened thirty or even twenty years ago, Lao Fan would have wholeheartedly supported it. But perhaps as one ages, considerations also accumulate; frankly, Lao Fan did not wish for Wang Dahai to join the military. Even if there was a chance to earn merit, it was minimal.
Lady Wang was also aware of her husband’s thoughts and knew before marriage that her husband was intent on clearing his father’s unjust accusation. However, with the Second Prince’s substantial strength, it was indeed difficult for them to achieve this.
