Back at the Lu mansion, Ye Zhen was called over by Lu Shiming just after she got off the carriage.

Ye Zhen guessed that it must have something to do with Xu Lao. He came to Lu Shimingâs study with a face of nervousness. In addition to Lu Shiming, Lu Lingzhi was there.
âFather, you wanted to see me?â Ye Zhenâs expression was uneasy, but her tone was light.
Lu Shiming beckoned her to come closer. âWhere have you been that you came back just now?â
âI bought my favorite snacks and the best rouge in capital for my mother. Father, the capital is wonderful. It is much more lively than the Border town. I also went to the east side. The houses over there are so beautiful.â Ye Zhen said smilingly and directly sat down beside Lu Shiming.
âJust bought for your mother? What about me? â Lu Shiming pretended to ask crossly.
Ye Zhen cocked her head and said sheepishly, âI couldnât decide what to give you. Iâll buy you a present when I have the chance next time.â
Lu Lingzhi looked at her with a smile and thought that the sister was really adorable and lovely, but she seemed congenial only to others. To him, Yao Yao never seemed to be coquettish with him. âHow did you think about going to the East Side?â
âI want to see all the places I havenât been to.â Ye Zhen said.
âThen why donât you want to be Xu Laoâs student?â Lu Shiming asked.
Sure enough, he would ask this! Her eyes, which grew darker, darted towards Lu Lingzhi.
Ye Zhen pursed her lips, âWhat can Xu Lao teach me? If I become his student, I can no longer take the Womenâs College exam! Iâm not interested in playing chess, calligraphy, and painting. Father, you know, I have to go to the medical center to learn something useful. I donât care about anything else.â
âWhat are you talking about? Itâs no use learning from those. How many girls in the capital would like to be Xu Laoâs student? You are reallyâŠâ Lu Shiming looked angry with his daughter for wasting a great opportunity.
Lu Lingzhi was quick to persuade her even further.
âIf you become a student of Xu Lao, you would have a better reputation in the capital. It would be best for you. Even if you donât go to the medical school, itâs alright. Now, daughters of the Lu family can have a good future without going to the Womenâs College.â
âWhat good future?â Ye Zhen asked with injustice. âEldest brother, tell me, am I only supposed to marry a man of good family and character in the future? I never worried about getting married. Besides, I have long set my eyes on the Womenâs College.â
Lu Shiming felt an itch in his hand and could not help but give her a little scolding. âYao Yao, what are you talking about? You will become of age; you canât forever avoid thinking about it!â
Playing the daughterâs card, she willed herself to tear up.
âI am just telling the truth, father. This must have been eldest brotherâs idea.â Ye Zhen cried in pretense. âAnyway, Iâm going to take the entrance examination tomorrow. Whether or not I can get in depends on my fate. What are you worried about? Letâs just see if I get in or not.â
Lu Shiming shook his head and glanced to Lu Lingzhi, âYour sisterâŠtsk tsk. I swear, she could kill people with her temper!â
âThatâs enough for today, third sister.â Lu Lingzhi comforted her.
Ye Zhen wiped the tear that fell to her lips. âFather, if you have nothing else to say, then Iâll go and see Mother first.â
âGo, go!â Lu Shiming didnât have the spirit to comfort his daughter at this time.
