After transmigrating, I became a stepmother.

"I think I cannot agree to this." Madam Hua's previously smiling demeanor turned serious.

"Why?" Lin Hao couldn't understand. She didn't think Madam Hua was a pedantic person!

"Studying medicine is something that requires long-term dedication, and it also depends on a person's character. Otherwise, if the people I teach use the skills I taught them to do evil, wouldn't I be committing a sin?"

Madam Hua did not hide anything. The reason why their clinic had strict requirements for recruiting apprentices was also due to this concern. The apprentices lived in the clinic day and night, which made it easier for their masters to observe their character.

However, the school Lin Hao mentioned cannot guarantee this, so it would be better not to agree to it to avoid trouble!

Lin Hao understood Madam Hua's concerns. Indeed, in later generations, there were often tragic cases caused by the extremism of medical students, and they were indeed in greater danger!

"But, Madam, we can't throw the baby out with the bathwater just because we're afraid of some unforeseen circumstances!"

Lin Hao still believes that there are more good people in this world. If it weren't for the circumstances, who would want to be a bad person?

"If more women had some knowledge of pharmacology, they wouldn't be helpless when something happens!"

Unfortunately, no matter how Lin Hao explained, Madam Hua remained firm in her decision.

Seeing that she had no other choice, Lin Hao had to take her leave. If she couldn't persuade Madam Hua to come out of retirement, she would have to try to find another female doctor, though the chances were slim.

Lin Hao walked out with her head down and eyes drooping, then suddenly stopped and turned around abruptly.

"Madam Hua, how about I just have you teach women some knowledge about body care and wound treatment? We can't let that harm anyone!"

Seeing her persistence, Madam Hua did not refuse outright this time. If that was all, then it was feasible! Besides, Lin Hao's intentions were good, and she was well aware of the benefits of establishing a girls' school. Perhaps it could really change the living conditions of women!

"If that's all there is to it, then I'll accept!"

"Great! It's settled then." Lin Hao's joy was palpable, and Madam Hua couldn't help but smile as well.

Just as Lin Hao was happy that she had hired another powerful outside helper, someone else was already trying to cause her trouble!

"Miss!" Mo Ran stepped in front of Qian Youran and bowed respectfully.

"It's so hot, cousin, you must be tired from studying! I made you some soup to cool you down and clear your lungs. Would it be convenient for me to come in?" Qian Youran said to Mo Ran with a smile.

As the saying goes, one cannot hit a smiling face. Since she was like this, Mo Ran could not refuse too harshly, and only said, "I will go in and inform them."

"Thank you, Brother Mo Ran!" Qian Youran smiled again.

"You're too kind, Miss. It's just my duty." Mo Ran dared not accept this favor. As the master's attendant, it was best for him to stay out of the affairs of the inner quarters.

"Master, Miss Cousin is here. She said she made you a soup to clear your lungs and reduce internal heat, and she wants to bring it in!" Mo Ran said softly, noticing that Gu Liunian was engrossed in his book.

"Let her go back! I don't need her." Gu Liunian didn't even look up.

"Yes." Mo Ran turned and went out, giving Qian Youran an apologetic smile.

"Miss, thank you for making the trip. The master was just at a crucial point in his reading when he saw you!"

Although Mo Ran spoke politely, her meaning was quite clear: Gu Liunian was too busy to see her.

Qian Youran immediately clenched the handkerchief in her hand. This cousin of hers was really ungrateful. She personally brought him soup, but not only did he not let her in, he also sent only one servant to send her away. It was simply outrageous!
