The Rise of a General's Daughter-in-Law Doctor

When Li Muxia returned after washing up, Feng Yuhan and Qingyun were already grilling fish.

When Li Muxia entered, both of them looked over and met Feng Yuhan's gaze. Li Muxia's face flushed involuntarily, but Feng Yuhan seemed quite calm, probably unaware that she had just cuddled him while they slept.

Upon reaching the campfire, Li Muxia took the grilled fish from Feng Yuhan's hand and said, "Um, there's a small river not far from the cave. Pavilion Master Feng, why don't you go wash up there too?"

Upon hearing this, Feng Yuhan got up and walked out.

After the three finished their meal, they continued their journey.

For the rest of the journey, none of them spoke, and they traveled much faster.

Finally, after half a month, the group returned to the capital of the Eastern Kingdom.

Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar streets, Li Muxia felt as if she had been transported to another world: Kyoto, I, Li Muxia, have finally returned.

Mu Xia cupped her hands in thanks to Feng Yuhan and said, "Thank you so much for your care along the way, Pavilion Master Feng. I am deeply grateful. Pavilion Master Feng knows my identity. If you ever need my help in the future, you can come directly to the Protector General's Mansion to find me."

Feng Yuhan knew that it would be time to part ways once they arrived in Kyoto. He took out a blue token from his pocket and handed it to Li Muxia, saying, "This is the Shadow Token of the Shadow Pavilion. Muxia can use this token to find me at the Fragrance Pavilion in the future."

Li Muxia was unaware of the importance of the token, but thinking that she could find Feng Yuhan again in the future, she accepted it.

He muttered to himself: So the most bustling teahouse, Anxiang Pavilion, was actually a spy for the Shadow Pavilion. He had even been there for tea before.

Meanwhile, Qingyun, who was hiding in the shadows, was stunned when he saw Feng Yuhan take out the Shadow Token and give it to Li Muxia. That was the Shadow Token, which could command all the Shadow Guards of the Shadow Pavilion. Seeing this token was more effective than seeing the Pavilion Master. The Pavilion Master could be impersonated, but no one could fake the Shadow Token.

It's not because its intricate patterns are impossible to replicate, but because the material used to make the token is a unique piece of blue diamond.

Moreover, there was only one Shadow Token in the entire Shadow Pavilion. The Pavilion Master simply gave it away.

Li Muxia knew nothing about the Shadow Token; she simply assumed it was a medium to contact Feng Yuhan. After saying goodbye to Feng Yuhan, she left.

However, Li Muxia did not go directly back to the General's Mansion. Instead, she went to a nearby clothing store, bought a set of women's clothes, changed into them, washed off her disguise, and, under the shopkeeper's amazed gaze, put on a veil, paid, and left.

Li Muxia did this simply because she felt that she wouldn't need to pretend anymore once she got home. Although even if she didn't pretend, the people in the General's Mansion might not be able to recognize her now.

When Li Muxia stood at the gate of the General's Mansion, she suddenly felt a sense of trepidation, as if she were returning home.

I lingered at the door for a long time but didn't go in.

Just then, General Li, who had returned from outside, saw a woman staring intently at his gate. He approached her with a puzzled look and asked, "Young lady, do you have something to discuss with the General's residence?"

Upon hearing this, Li Muxia turned her head and saw her second uncle's familiar face. Her eyes instantly reddened, her nose tingled, and two lines of tears flowed down her cheeks.

General Li saw that the little girl had been brought to tears by his question and was somewhat flustered. He wondered why the little girl was crying when he hadn't said anything.

Seeing General Li's flustered expression, his hands waving in the air, seemingly unsure how to comfort himself, Li Muxia suddenly found it somewhat comical and burst out laughing.

General Li was even more bewildered. Could this girl have something wrong with her head? Why was she crying one minute and laughing the next?

Li Muxia then removed her veil and said, "Second Uncle, it's me, Muxia."

General Li had already recognized her the moment Li Muxia removed her veil. He just hadn't expected that in less than a year, his little niece, who weighed only 200 kilograms, would transform into such a stunning beauty. Moreover, Li Muxia's current appearance was remarkably similar to her mother's, at least seven or eight points alike.

Seeing that General Li was staring at him in a daze, Li Muxia assumed that her second uncle had not yet recognized her.

She quickly explained, "Second Uncle, I really am Mu Xia."

She had asked her master to take all the things she had brought with her when she set off back to Jishi Manor, so she didn't really have anything on her to prove her identity.

Seeing Li Muxia's anxious expression, General Li realized what was going on and said to her, "Good child, I know you are Muxia. Your second uncle just didn't quite recognize you. Come on, come inside with your second uncle. Your grandfather talks about you every day."

As he spoke, he led Li Muxia into the mansion, instructing the servant beside him as they walked: "Quickly go and inform the old master that Muxia has returned."

The servant was also overjoyed. He responded and quickly ran towards the mansion, shouting as he ran, "Master, the young lady is back!" His voice was filled with joy.

Li Muxia felt a warmth in her heart. No matter how far she went, there was always a place where she could stay, and there were always people who loved her waiting for her to return.

Along the way, the servants who were sweeping and cleaning all put down their work and looked at Li Muxia. Everyone was stunned when they saw Li Muxia. Li Muxia could tell that there was amazement and doubt in their eyes.

However, the old people in the general's mansion recognized Li Muxia at a glance. After all, Li Muxia's current appearance was only slightly taller and her features had matured a bit compared to before she gained weight. Moreover, her appearance was very similar to that of the former eldest young mistress.

Many people began to wipe away tears, saying, "It really is the young lady who has returned."

The servants who had arrived in recent years all asked the person who recognized Li Muxia with suspicion, "Is this really the young lady?"

After receiving an affirmative answer, everyone gathered around Li Muxia, their happiness undisguised.

She kept saying, "It really is Miss, Miss has really returned."

Li Muxia felt a warmth in her heart.

Before Li Muxia even reached the main hall, she saw an old general with white hair and beard quickly walk out, followed by Li Anjin, who kept telling the old man to be careful.

The moment Li Muxia saw the old general, her nose tingled and tears streamed down her face. She quickly stepped forward, stood in front of the old general, reached out to support his arm, and knelt down.

"Grandpa, Mu Xia is back."

Even the usually unyielding old general couldn't help but tear up, choking back tears as he helped Li Muxia up, saying, "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back."

Before he could exchange a few pleasantries with Li Muxia, he heard a panting voice say, "Sister Xia."
