Chapter 259: Wanting to Learn Medicine from Master Ji

Looking at Master Ji's speechless expression, Su Youyue knew that the conversation would not continue for a while.

However, she did not notice the fleeting glint in Ji Qingyan's eyes.

As a doctor, how could one avoid checking their own pulse?

She knew there was something wrong with her body.

But.

What made someone themselves was precisely the unique memories they had accumulated over the years.

If she were to suddenly gain the memories of this body's original owner, would she still be herself?

After taking Su Youyue's pulse, Ji Qingyan quickly let go of her wrist. "There's nothing wrong. If you can't remember something, it must be because your brain isn't functioning well."

Su Youyue couldn't help but feel helpless at her personality, but she didn't dislike her; instead, she liked her straightforwardness.

Thinking about the uncertainty surrounding Master Ji's identity, Su Youyue wanted to interact more with her. After a moment, she suddenly thought of an excuse: "Master Ji, since your medical skills are so extraordinary, do you have any plans to take on apprentices? Over the years, I've always admired those who study medicine and often read medical books..."

She wanted to see Master Ji's reaction when she saw the medical books left by her mother. Besides, if Master Ji took her as an apprentice, even if she left, they wouldn't lose contact.

Ji Qingyan was taken aback, then looked at Su Youyue suspiciously, trying to discern her true intentions behind her words.

However, Su Youyue's eyes were clear and honest, without a trace of deceit.

Although she had her own motives, saving lives was indeed something she respected, and learning another skill might come in handy someday.

Unexpectedly, despite her sincere gaze, Ji Qingyan scoffed. "You? Study medicine? To learn medicine, you need to taste hundreds of herbs. First, finish every dose of medicine I prescribed!"

With that, she patted her buttocks and walked away.

Su Youyue was stunned for a moment before laughing and holding her forehead.

"Miss! Jin'er is not afraid of hardship. How about Jin'er learns from Master Ji instead? That way, if Miss ever has a headache or cold, Jin'er can help!" Jin'er said earnestly.

In fact, she thought that if she had such advanced medical skills earlier, she might have already cured Miss's legs, and Miss wouldn't have been confined to a wheelchair for so long!

If Miss encountered any other serious illnesses in the future, Jin'er could also help.

Su Youyue turned to look at Jin'er's bright eyes and, after some thought, said, "Let's learn together."

Jin'er was surprised. "Miss isn't afraid of hardship?"

"I am," Su Youyue replied, "but there are many kinds of hardships in this world, and the bitterness of medicine is the easiest to endure."

If not for Master Ji's exceptional medical skills, Su Youyue wouldn't have been tempted.

She remembered that during Xie Yuan's years in office, he had suffered several life-threatening injuries.

She thought that learning more could prevent unforeseen emergencies.

Jin'er didn't understand; if medicine was already bitter, what could be even more bitter than that?

The master and servant decided that when Master Ji came the next day, they would respectfully express their desire to learn medicine seriously.

This surprised Ji Qingyan. She wasn't too surprised that Jin'er wanted to learn, but that the Su family's eldest daughter was willing to endure the smell of medicine to study medicine was unexpected.

Still, Ji Qingyan did not immediately agree.

Learning medicine was never a simple matter. Doctors face life and death, and any mistake could cost a life.

Moreover, if anyone learned her medical skills, they couldn't limit them to the nobility. If so, she would rather adopt two girls to inherit her legacy. Therefore, whether it was Su Youyue or Jin'er, their identities were irrelevant to her.

So she gave them a book title and told them to buy the book and memorize all the herb names and their effects within a month. If they succeeded, she would take them as apprentices.

Initially, Jin'er was excited, thinking she could finally learn medicine. But when she happily bought the book, she was stunned.

Was this really meant for humans to learn? How could it be so thick!

The book recorded basic herbs and their properties, with no formulas. It was available in bookstores but was three to four times thicker and twice as large as other books, filled with tiny, dense text that made one dizzy just looking at it, feeling like ten thousand ants were crawling around.

"Miss, how can we memorize this in a month?" Jin'er's face turned into a bitter gourd.

Su Youyue was also shocked by the book's thickness and size, realizing it was likely the first test from Master Ji.

Her frown soon relaxed. "Whether we can memorize it or not, we must try. We'll do our best."

Though Jin'er instinctively wanted to give up, hearing her Miss say this, she hesitated but nodded.

Chunya, on the other hand, had no interest in learning medicine. She only served tea when her Miss and Jin'er got thirsty from reciting.

Whenever Ji Qingyan visited, she saw the two studying the medical book. Though she didn't say anything, her eyes showed evident satisfaction.

After half a month, Su Youyue made rapid progress, while Jin'er lagged far behind, though she managed to remember some things.

"Miss, how can you learn so fast?" Jin'er whined, now dreaming of herb names every night, constantly wavering between giving up and persevering.

Su Youyue said, "It's not that I'm naturally gifted. You forgot that I've read many medical books before, which gives me a foundation, making it easier to memorize these."

She wasn't lying. While she wasn't stupid and had some talent for memorization, her speed was largely due to her previous exposure to medical texts.

For Jin'er, it was difficult. She wasn't detail-oriented, and studying medical books was challenging for her.

But seeing her Miss persist, Jin'er gritted her teeth and kept trying.

After changing Su Youyue's bandages one day, Jin'er noticed her wounds had fully healed and couldn't help saying, "Miss, I think we won't need to change the bandages in two days. Does that mean Miss will soon start the rehabilitation exercises Master Ji mentioned?"

These days, Su Youyue had also been watching her wound every day. The speed of its recovery brought joy to her heart.

Now, on her legs, only deep pink scars remained; it was hard to tell there had ever been any wounds. However, she couldn't quite gauge how much she had recovered. Only occasionally, when she moved her leg by accident, did she feel that the pain wasn't as severe as before.

As she hesitated, Dr. Ji walked in from outside: "Yes, according to your current condition, you should be able to start training on the ground in seven more days. However, Miss Su, your legs are almost healed—why hasn't your little boyfriend come back yet?"
