Ms. Doctor Divine Chapter 1785 – 1785 Change 1

1785 Change 1
“As for Jiashu’s task, I believe that you can start by working in the court for the civilians. You passed the imperial examination, you know. And I am not going to tell you what to do. You should make the decision yourself. As for your marriage, you can make the decision yourself as well. What do you think?” Lin Jiaxing asked.

That was the decision he had just made.

Men were always in charge of the mansion and made decisions, since ancient times.

He respected Ms. Lin’s suggestions, usually. But not today. He was going to talk with Jiashu about it. That was all.

Upon hearing this decision, Lin Jiashu nodded without hesitation, expressing his full agreement.

Suddenly, honors and awards were not necessarily the best course of action.

Furthermore, his mother’s behavior seemed excessively unconventional. If they continued down this path, the Lin Family might end up like the Gu Family.

They should adopt a low-profile approach and maintain a good reputation.

Chaoyan had been kind to them, and they shouldn’t hinder her progress.

“What are you talking about? You don’t even want a rank? Without a rank, we are merely business people! That is utterly useless! People will look down on Jiashu if he works as someone from a business family!” Mrs. Lin sounded agitated, raising her voice.

The two men exchanged a glance with each other, silently conveying their decision.

They resolved to no longer adhere to her wishes.
Lin Jiaxing gently pulled her aside. “That is the decision I have made. No more objections or refusals. Women have never been meant to hold authority over the affairs of the mansion, as per ancient traditions. Focus on managing your own household matters. No more interference in public matters.”

Despite her protests…

He guided them into the wagon, instructing Lin Jiashu to leave first.

He returned to the court.

The eunuchs in the court treated Lin Jiaxing with respect. They guided him to Fengxian Palace upon hearing his request. Subsequently, the eunuchs relayed the message to the Queen.

Gu Chaoyan was preparing to take a break when she learned about her uncle’s return. She stepped outside, dressed in casual attire, to meet him.

“What else can I assist you with, Uncle?” Gu Chaoyan inquired, feeling perplexed. She had been almost certain that her past experiences had nothing to do with the Lin Family. However, now her uncle had arrived, and she was unsure of the reason for this change.

Lin Jiaxing nodded solemnly and spoke in a serious tone, “Chaoyan, I have pondered over your words. I believe it is best for us not to accept the rank and Jiashu’s assigned tasks. You can assign him tasks that align with his abilities, but do not promote him solely because of me. I lack competence, and my wife’s behavior is unreasonable. If I were to accept your offer, it could potentially create difficulties for Jiashu and for you.”

“…”

“I am here to inform you of this. I will be returning now. If you require anything, relay the message to Jiashu, and I will do my utmost to assist you.”

“…”

“It’s getting late. Get some rest. I’m taking my leave,” Lin Jiaxing said wearily.

And so, he departed.

Gu Chaoyan made no attempt to stop him.

After pondering for a while, she comprehended her uncle’s intentions.

If her uncle could remain grounded like this, perhaps he would achieve greater things in the future. At present, she felt no sympathy for him.

Once again, silence enveloped Fengxian Palace.

Gu Chaoyan retired to rest and fell asleep.

The following day, as dawn broke, Sword One roused Gu Chaoyan from her slumber, informing her of a matter that required her attention in the rear court.

Gu Chaoyan had just awakened, and her head throbbed. She shivered slightly as she inquired, “Has the weather changed?”
