Yinuo just took a look at the transcript on the imperial list. Zhang Lin scored 9 points, which was average, and Liao Qing only scored 7 points, which was failing.

She had seen Liao Qing before. She had taken the acupuncture test in the same examination room as herself. As there were only two female candidates, she felt that Liao Qing was conceited and didn't pay much attention to the occasion.

The maid who brought them to the examination room was no ordinary maid. Liao Qing's attitude towards her was like that of a proud peacock, which inevitably left a bad impression on the examiner.

The acupuncture test is different from the tests for the other two courses. The scores for the acupuncture test are given by the examiners. The examiners will not only give corresponding scores based on the operational ability, but their scores will also be affected by emotional orientation.

Yinuo guessed that she did not do well on the test, and her score on the needle test was even worse.

She also had some impression of this Zhang Lin. They were in the same examination room at that time. As soon as she entered the examination room, this man looked her up and down, observing her from head to toe. Although he did not show it on the surface at that time, Yinuo still saw the contempt in his eyes.

Gender has always existed in ancient times, but since the founding of the Han Dynasty, an imperial decree has been issued regarding medical examinations, allowing both men and women to take the examinations. Even so, Zhang Lin still holds a disdainful and even contemptuous attitude towards female medical students. It is conceivable how bad his character is.

How could such a person who is obviously sexist and looks at women with tinted glasses in everything he does sincerely defend Liao Qing? Maybe he is afraid of getting himself in trouble!

I have to say that Yinuo has strong analytical skills.

She saw the problem right away, but she didn't respond. The other person had said it so smoothly. If she insisted on finding fault with it, she would instead change her identity from a victim, or even become the perpetrator.

Yinuo pursed his lips and pretended to sob: "Although I didn't go to medical school, I also studied medicine with my teacher for many years. How can you say that my grades are unreliable?"

As she spoke, she wiped her tears again, looking so pitiful that people would think she was innocent.

Gu Yun was no longer surprised by Yinuo's innocent appearance, and she had already learned how to cooperate with her in her performance.

She quickly comforted Yinuo: "Junior sister, don't be sad. They probably don't know that you have been studying with my father, so they said that."

"Ignorance is not a crime. We adults are generous. Don't be sad."

There is a skill to speaking. Gu Yun did not immediately say Dr. Gu's name. He just called her junior sister and his father. People who didn't know her, especially the candidates from other places, didn't know Gu Yun, so they began to wonder in their hearts and kept guessing who this teacher he was talking about was.

But the people watching the scene all knew Gu Yun. They all went to Gushengtang for medical treatment, and they all knew that Doctor Gu had a son and a daughter. The daughter married a captain of the Xuzhou garrison and was now the captain's wife.

How could the Captain's wife's words be false? Then the lady in front of him must have studied with Doctor Gu and was his disciple.

Instantly there was an uproar among the people, and people were talking among themselves in low voices. The candidates and their families were a little at a loss, after all, the scene was a bit noisy, and they couldn't hear clearly who was being talked about.

Lord Liu also knew this little junior sister. She was the master's daughter who came later in life. She was kind and generous. Now she spoke like this, as if she was waiting for him to speak.

He was helpless, but still very cooperative and first answered Zhang Lin's questions.

"Zhang Lin, you don't have to be confused. The gap between you and Yinuo is actually more than one point."

"You may feel that you have always been the best student in the medical school, but you only got a score of 9 in the medical examination, which is not right."

"What I want to tell you now is that there are always people who are better than you."

Zhang Lin's face turned pale after hearing what Judge Liu said, but he still smiled gently and said modestly, "Please enlighten me, sir."

Lord Bai standing by also looked down upon such people, but he did not show it. As one of the examiners, he had a say on this issue.

"Your answers to the comprehension questions were too simple and only scratched the surface, whereas Yinuo's answers were concise and in-depth, and even had his own unique insights."

"You scored 9 points because you could only get 9 points. This lady in clothes scored 10 points because the full score for this exam is only 10 points."

After hearing what Lord Bai said, Zhang Linzhong had nothing to say. He didn't even pretend and just bowed to the two adults and took his leave.

Liao Qing stood aside, clenched his fists, and said unconvincedly: "Those who take the medical examination must be medical students. They don't have to be doctors, but they must be people who have received professional training."

"Sir, I wonder who is the master of this lady?"

She looked at the two adults neither humbly nor arrogantly, and even a little proudly.

Lord Liu finally understood why Liao Qing targeted Yinuo. There were only two women in this medical examination, one scored full marks while the other failed, which made this proud peacock feel uncomfortable.

So, he showed great compassion and said with a smile: "This lady in clothes is my junior sister."

"The teacher she was talking about is also my master, Doctor Gu from Gushengtang."

"She is the master's last disciple. She is low-key and devoted to learning medicine."

The implication is that Yinuo's medical skills are not bad, but he is concentrating on learning, and his master does not publicize it to the outside world, so outsiders do not know about it.

Liao Qing had nothing to say. She was even afraid that her qualification for the assessment would be revoked, so she had to lower her proud head and bow to the two adults to apologize: "My lords, I was impulsive at the moment. Please punish me."

Lord Bai didn't expect that Yinuo was so powerful, and he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to do her a favor: "Miss Liao, you should know that your doubts today are not just directed at Miss Yi."

"If your words are reported to His Majesty by someone with ulterior motives, you will lose your head."

Liao Qing was so frightened that he immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "Sir, please spare my life!!"

Lord Bai snorted coldly: "If a woman like you were to become a female doctor, I'm afraid she would become even more unscrupulous."

"I hereby declare that due to your inappropriate remarks, your score in this medical examination will be 0. You will be disqualified from taking the medical examination for life and will not be allowed to practice medicine in the future."

Liao Qing collapsed on the ground, unable to hold back tears any longer.

Her maid hurried forward to help her up, wiped her tears, and took her away. If she stayed any longer, it would only bring shame to herself, and when she returned to Jingzhou, she would be punished even more severely.

Yinuo couldn't help but shiver.

Liao Qing's fate made her feel deeply for the first time the terror of imperial power.

Here, origin is important.

All people seem humble and weak in front of the imperial power. A person's future, or even his or her life, can be completely changed by a word from a superior.
