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

About half an hour later, Li Anran brought Chunxing to find Li Muxia. Li Muxia had also gotten ready and was about to go out to find Li Anran when she saw Li Anran wearing a light pink dress and sporting a trendy double bun hairstyle. Her slightly chubby face had a faint smile on it, making her look lively, cute, and a little playful. She would grow up to be a little beauty.

Li Muxia wore a light green long dress; the original owner's gaudy clothes had long been put away by Cui'er. Cui'er simply styled her hair into a low bun, adorned with a simple magnolia hairpin, making her look neat and elegant. This was quite convenient for the chubby girl like her.

It was almost noon, so Li Muxia decided to take Li Anran to lunch first. Afraid of being recognized, Li Muxia took Li Anran to the same restaurant they had visited when they bought the books last time, and they sat in the same seats as before.

The group ordered four simple dishes. Li Muxia asked Hong'er and Chunxing to sit down and eat together. Hong'er sat down next to Li Muxia quite naturally, while Chunxing was a little uncomfortable. He only sat down next to Li Anran cautiously after Li Anran spoke up. During the meal, he served his young mistress until she finished eating before eating himself.

Unlike Hong'er, who completely ignored Li Muxia and happily ate her meal, Hong'er occasionally recommended dishes to Li Muxia, saying she would order them again next time. This was their way of getting along as master and servant. Cui'er was more restrained, but Hong'er, being younger, quickly accepted Li Muxia's "influence."

The meal was fairly satisfactory, and no one disturbed us until everyone finished eating and was about to pay the bill when something happened at the next table.

A young woman was holding a little boy who looked to be about three years old. The boy was clutching his neck in pain and scratching it. The boy's mother was repeatedly trying to pierce his throat with her hands.

A young man nearby, who appeared to be the child's father, kept patting the child's back. But after a while, seeing no effect, he grabbed the little boy's feet, made him stand upside down, and even shook him. The little boy's mother, seeing her son's face growing increasingly purple, began to cry out, "Stone, don't scare your mother!"

Li Muxia and her companions, who had just finished paying and were about to leave, also noticed this area. They immediately spotted the little boy rolling his eyes and quickly ran over to him, ready to rescue him.

Before Li Anran and the others could react, Li Muxia had already arrived in front of the family of three.

Li Muxia snatched the little boy from the man's arms and began performing the Heimlich maneuver. The little boy's mother, seeing Li Muxia's strange posture and the way she was squeezing her son, anxiously tried to take him away.

Li Muxia noticed the woman's movements out of the corner of her eye. Her hands continued moving, and she said sternly, "If you want your son to live, don't move. I'm a... a doctor!" In her haste, Li Muxia almost blurted out that she was a doctor, but thankfully she realized her mistake.

The little boy's mother was probably also frightened, standing there motionless. The restaurant diners also gathered around. Although they didn't approve of Li Muxia's actions, finding the girl's behavior indecent, they understood she was saving someone and watched quietly.

The scene was quiet; only Li Muxia's heavy breathing and the little boy's mother's suppressed sobs could be heard. After pressing for about a minute, the little boy spat out a peanut, followed by his forceful inhalation and then a loud cry.

The scene erupted in enthusiastic applause. The little boy's mother collapsed to the ground, her legs giving way. The boy's father quickly took him in, tears streaming down his face.

Li Muxia breathed a sigh of relief, only then noticing that she was covered in sweat. Sigh, this chubby body was really too weak. It seemed physical training would have to be added to her schedule.

It's understandable that he was out of his depth. As a young lady from a wealthy family, she rarely carried anything weighing more than a kilogram. This little boy looked small, but he was quite sturdy, weighing at least sixteen or seventeen kilograms. Even an ordinary young lady wouldn't be able to lift him, let alone a big fat boy weighing over a hundred kilograms. No wonder Li Muxia was panting heavily.

The man pulled the woman off the ground and knelt down before Li Muxia, kowtowing repeatedly: "Thank you, doctor, for saving my life. Thank you, doctor, for saving my life."

Hearing how the two addressed each other, Li Muxia shook her head with amusement, but didn't explain anything. She said in a slightly tired voice, "Please get up, both of you."

After saying that, he gestured to Hong'er, who was still clapping and grinning foolishly, and quickly helped the two of them up.

When Hong'er saw the look in her young mistress's eyes, she quickly stepped forward to help the two up, and while helping them up, she didn't forget to try to win her mistress's favor: "Please get up, you two. My young mistress is kind-hearted. You are really lucky to have met her."

The two men quickly replied, "Yes, yes, yes, the doctor is a miracle worker. He saved our child's life today. We have no way to repay him."

Li Muxia interrupted the man, saying, "Brother, there's no need for thanks. You were closest to me just now, so you must have seen how I helped you. Remember my first aid method. If you encounter someone stuck in a foreign object in the future, please lend a hand. That would be a way of repaying me."

The man had indeed witnessed Li Muxia's treatment process and learned from it. He quickly nodded and said, "I will definitely remember what Doctor Yi said."

After saying that, Li Muxia didn't stay any longer and left the restaurant with Li Anran and her group.

After they left, someone in the crowd suddenly said, "That doctor looks a bit like the eldest daughter of the General's Mansion."

Another person chimed in, "It seems to be her. I saw Miss General once a couple of months ago during the Lantern Festival, but she looks much thinner."

While the discussion was taking place downstairs, Prince Rui, Dongfang Jincheng, the Fourth Prince Dongfang Jinxuan, and Minister of the Court of Judicial Review Jun Mochen, who were having a meeting in the private room upstairs, were also paying attention to what was happening downstairs.

"Mo Chen, was the doctor who saved people just now the plump young lady from the General's Mansion?"

Jun Mochen waved the folding fan in his hand and slowly said, "The voice does sound somewhat similar."

The fourth prince also spoke up, saying, "If it really is her, then he has lost a lot of weight. It seems that the second brother's annulment of the engagement has had a significant impact on him."

Prince Rui, Dongfang Jincheng, listened to their conversation without replying. He simply watched the little boy being rescued below and then instructed, "Zhufeng, go find the father of that little boy downstairs and learn the method of treatment you just learned."

Zhu Feng, who was at the door, accepted the order and left.

Dongfang Jinxuan and Jun Mochen exchanged a glance and clapped their hands in admiration. They both thought, "Prince Rui is careless; his focus is different from theirs."

Prince Rui was somewhat puzzled by the two's actions, but he didn't think much of it and continued to discuss the main point of the day.
