"Many of these books were bought before I got married, which means long before the college entrance examination. Now I'm married, pregnant, and have a child who's a year and a half old. How could an ordinary person like me know so much two years in advance? Isn't that ridiculous? You can go to the local bookstore to investigate; the books also have stamps on them."

"I once saved a doctor by chance. To repay his kindness, he gave me the Thirteen Needles of the Governing Vessel. I felt that this book must be very important and valuable, otherwise the doctor would not have kept it until now. So I became interested in traditional Chinese medicine and began to learn about it."

"Later I realized that my foundation was too weak. When I was a child, I was playful and did not realize the importance of studying. I would sleep or do something during class. But when I seriously picked up a book, I found that I could basically memorize the things I had read two or three times. Maybe God is favoring me and gave me this memory advantage."

"So I studied traditional Chinese medicine while picking up my high school textbooks again. As I read more and more books, I became clearer about my goals. My mentor also praised me for my high talent and taught me diligently, which is how I achieved what I have today."

"Every step I took was solid and down-to-earth. Su Lingtang's claim that I knew about the college entrance examination in advance and even knew its scope is pure nonsense. It's just that I put in more effort than others. I would like to ask the leaders to thoroughly investigate this matter and clear my name."

This matter needs to be clarified, otherwise, if she gets good grades after the exam, it will be hard to explain.

Actually, the higher-ups didn't believe these rumors either, but there was nothing they could do. The rumors were spreading too wildly, and if they weren't dealt with, many people would question the fairness of the college entrance exam results when they came out, which would be a huge problem.

Therefore, we must show everyone that the higher authorities attach great importance to this college entrance examination and will not allow anyone to engage in fraudulent practices.

Su Lingtang looked at the books, manuscripts, exercises, and notes scattered on the floor, sweat dripping down his forehead.

"impossible!"

Su Lingtang picked up the notebook to examine it. From the initial scribbles that resembled dog scratches, the handwriting gradually improved, becoming neater, and eventually, it began to develop its own unique style.

There were also thick stacks of calligraphy practice papers mixed in, clearly showing that the owner of the practice paper was very serious and wrote every day.

At first, Su Lingwu wrote according to the original owner's handwriting, but then she realized that she would be a doctor in the future, and it wouldn't do to write prescriptions with such ugly handwriting. She also couldn't use the original owner's handwriting, as it would expose the problem.

So I also started practicing calligraphy, spending half an hour every day copying calligraphy models. I never expected to actually use it one day.

The joint investigation team members all admired Su Lingwu; the young girl was truly hardworking.

Although his academic performance wasn't very good before, he made rapid progress after he figured things out.

There are always children like this. Anyone who goes to school knows that some are quick to learn, some are slow to learn, and of course, some never learn at all. It all comes down to individual circumstances.

Su Lingwu was clearly the kind of person who suddenly had an epiphany at the age of nineteen, had the opportunity to study medicine, was no longer confused, realized what she should do, and worked hard to improve herself.

"No wonder the family compound speaks highly of you; your medical skills have saved many lives."

Before coming, I naturally learned about Su Lingwu and Su Lingtang from the military region leaders, and all the leaders unanimously approved of Su Lingwu.

Not only is he good-looking, but he is also exceptionally capable and has extremely high medical skills.

Whether it's acupuncture, prescription writing, or drug development, she's very skilled. Thanks to Su Lingwu, the military region has suffered far fewer casualties during missions. Which leader wouldn't be happy?

Moreover, the military wives in the family compound are all willing to have Su Lingwu treat their minor ailments, spending the least amount of money to solve their health problems. How could they not be happy?

Even those like Deputy Battalion Commander Zhang who were infertile were cured and gave birth to a big, healthy son. Everyone praised Su Lingwu for that.

"Studying medicine is different; it can't be taken lightly because it involves human lives. So naturally, I have to put in a lot of hard work. Whether it's traditional Chinese medicine, Western medicine, or any other specialty, it's never a bad thing to learn more. Since I have this talent and ability, I should make good use of it to benefit the people."

Anyone can say nice things, and Su Lingwu said them without any hesitation.

The joint investigation team also respected capable and diligent learners.

She has been studying on her own for the past two years. Two years ago, the leaders hadn't even discussed the college entrance examination yet.

It's obvious that Su Lingtang is lying.

Looking at Su Lingtang, he asked, "Do you have anything else to say, or any evidence to provide?"

Su Lingtang shook her head. What evidence did she have? She thought Su Lingwu had everything she had now because of her husband's family. She didn't expect that Su Lingwu had actually read so many books.

"According to the data from our joint investigation team, you and Su Lingwu are stepsisters, and your relationship has been bad since childhood, with constant arguments. Su Lingwu's relationship with your mother, your stepmother, is even worse."

"Previously, you and your mother deliberately spread rumors that Su Lingwu was unfilial, but later it was found to be pure nonsense. Then you said that Su Lingwu's registration qualifications were problematic. Now you are accusing Su Lingwu of knowing about the college entrance examination in advance and knowing the scope of the exam. Do you know that your behavior constitutes intentional false accusation against others? You have a problem with your moral character."

"No... that's not how it is. Her husband's family is the Fu family. It must have been the Fu family who secretly passed on the message to her, telling her about the college entrance exam."

Su Lingtang did not believe that the Fu family would keep everything from Su Lingwu.

The Fu family are officials, so they must know some inside information.

"Su Lingtang, you still want to smear others? Su Lingwu's letters, telegrams, and phone calls over the past two years have made no mention of this matter. Moreover, this news only emerged in the last six months or so, yet Comrade Su Lingwu started her studies before her marriage. There's a gap of a year and a half in between. How do you explain that?"

"I……"

Su Lingtang never expected that his plan to use the rumors to disqualify Su Lingwu from taking the college entrance examination would lead to such a large-scale investigation by higher authorities.

She felt a little regretful; faced with so many serious faces, Su Lingtang was also afraid.

"Su Lingtang, you've gone too far!"

"Do you even realize the enormity of your inappropriate remarks? You're undermining public morale, and your jealousy and suspicion are wasting countless national resources!"

"Su Lingtang, everyone must be held accountable for her actions. Now that things have come to this, we will impose the following penalties on you and your husband."

"Your husband, Deputy Battalion Commander Gu, although initially unaware of the situation, has shown a passive attitude in handling the aftermath, failing to criticize or discipline his family. The organization will determine that he has seriously neglected his duties in disciplining his family members, and will issue a public reprimand and a severe warning. As for you... you will be ineligible to participate in the college entrance examination for the next three years, and this matter will be clarified in the newspaper to prove your innocence."

Upon hearing this, Su Lingtang fainted.
