God's Daughter, Queen of Miraculous Medicine

The night before departure, Lu Tianyu sat quietly at his desk, staring at the book intently, his fingers gently turning the pages, and reviewing his lessons seriously. His expression was solemn and serious, and he picked up a pen from time to time to take some notes. He was a little nervous because the college entrance examination would be held in a few days, which was very important to him.

Suddenly, the door was gently pushed open, and Lu Tingyan walked into the room with light steps. In her hand, she carefully held a small bowl with steaming chicken soup in it. She walked to Lu Tianyu's side, put the chicken soup on the table, and then said gently: "Brother, take a rest first, drink some chicken soup to replenish your nutrition."

Lu Tianyu looked up gratefully at his sister, with a touch of emotion in his eyes. He took the chicken soup, carefully held up the bowl, blew gently on the soup surface, and then tasted it slowly. Every mouthful of chicken soup made him feel a warm current flowing from his throat into his stomach, and at the same time he also felt his sister's deep care and warmth.

At this moment, a loud noise came from outside the door, breaking the silence in the house. Lu Tingyan frowned, looked at the door in confusion, and said, "Why is it so noisy?"

She put down the bowl in her hand, walked quickly to the door and opened it. The scene in front of her stunned her. She saw her aunt standing in the middle of the yard, her face full of anger, and she was talking loudly to the people around her. Lu Tingyan felt uneasy. She walked quickly to her aunt and asked with concern: "Aunt, what happened? Why are you so angry?"

After seeing Lu Tingyan, the aunt-in-law showed a trace of disdain on her face, and sneered and said: "Hey, isn't this Yan'er? I heard that your brother is going to take the exam for the scholar tomorrow?"

When Lu Tingyan heard this, her face slightly blushed, but she still nodded and replied softly: "Yes, aunt-in-law."

The aunt sneered, a trace of contempt flashed in her eyes, and she said with a mocking tone: "Yan'er, listen to your aunt's advice, and tell Tianyu not to take the exam for the scholar. It's just a waste of money. You also know that it's not that easy to pass the exam for the scholar!"

Lu Tingyan's face suddenly became very ugly, and anger surged in her heart. But she still suppressed her anger and tried to be polite and responded: "Aunt, how can you say that? Now our family's situation has gradually improved, and my brother has been studying hard and working very hard. I believe he will be able to pass the exam and become a scholar!"

However, the aunt-in-law didn't take Lu Tingyan's words to heart at all, and still said disdainfully: "Humph, what's the point of working hard? Your Tianyu is just a poor scholar. So many people take the exam every year and fail. Why does he think he can do it? Besides, he has neither money nor power, how can he possibly pass the exam to become a scholar?"

Lu Tingyan bit her lips tightly, with a determined light flashing in her eyes, and said to her great aunt, "Great aunt, you can't look down on people! My brother will definitely be able to pass the exam and become a scholar. When that happens, you can just wait and treat him differently!"

But the eldest aunt said seriously: "Sister-in-law, listen to my advice and tell Tianyu not to take the exam for the scholar degree. It's just a waste of money!"

Su responded firmly: "Sister-in-law, even if it means spending all our money, we must make Yu'er achieve something and let him stand out. I firmly believe that Yu'er can do it!"

The aunt sneered and said disdainfully: "Humph, you really don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is! If you don't listen to my advice, you will suffer in the future!" After saying that, she turned around and left without looking back. Lu Tingyan was left looking at her back as she walked away, with an irrepressible anger and helplessness in her heart.

She gently pushed open the door, as if she had opened a door to a peaceful world. In the room, the flickering candlelight illuminated Lu Tianyu's lonely and determined figure. He sat quietly at the desk, holding a brush in his hand, slowly sketching words on the rice paper, and each stroke seemed particularly steady and powerful.

Lu Tingyan's heart inexplicably calmed down at this moment. She walked quickly and silently to her brother's side, fearing to disturb this rare concentration. She reached out and gently patted Lu Tianyu's shoulder. The action was full of tenderness and strength, as if silently conveying support and encouragement.

"Brother," she whispered softly, with unquestionable determination in her voice, "you don't have to pay attention to the harsh and unfounded rumors of the great aunt. She is just a small-time person who is blinded by worldly interests. Your value has never been defined by her words."

Lu Tianyu stopped writing, turned his head slowly, and looked at his sister's eyes full of trust and encouragement. A complex emotion flashed in his eyes, but was soon replaced by determination. He nodded slightly, his voice was light but very firm: "Yan'er, I understand. I never took those gossips to heart. I will use my actions to prove everything. Passing the exam is not only for myself, but also for you, for our family, to be able to stand up straight and no longer suffer those unnecessary oppressions."

At this point, Lu Tianyu's eyes seemed to be burning with fighting spirit, which was a desire for knowledge, a vision for the future, and a firm pursuit of self-worth. He picked up the brush again, and the tip of the brush lightly touched the paper, as if to declare his determination and belief to the world.

Seeing her brother return to study, Lu Tingyan felt a warm current in her heart. She knew that no matter how bumpy the road ahead was, as long as the brother and sister worked hand in hand, nothing would be impossible. She quietly left the room and closed the door, letting the tranquility and determination continue to protect her brother's dreams and hopes.
