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

After completing the registration, it was already getting dark. Li Muxia said goodbye to Manager Wang and Manager Qu and returned to the General's Mansion.

During dinner, Li Muxia told her family about buying Cyclamen that day. The old general and General Li naturally knew about the Cyclamen incident, but seeing how confidently Li Muxia said that she had a way to solve it, the two of them didn't say anything more.

Back in her courtyard, Li Muxia asked Hong'er to bring her paper and pen. She recalled the interior design styles of some modern hot pot restaurants, combined them with the style of Cyclamen, made some adjustments, and a series of perfect interior design drawings were produced, covered with detailed notes on the modifications.

After all the drawings were finished, the moon was already high in the sky. Li Muxia stretched, put the drawings away, and prepared to rest.

However, she couldn't fall asleep after lying in bed. She took out the jade pendant hanging around her neck and thought to herself: Long Ziheng, why can't I find out about you? Are you in the capital or not? Or were you lying to me from the beginning?

Thinking of this, Li Muxia rejected her idea again, because she was still a big fat girl back then, and Long Ziheng had no reason to lie to her. Even if he knew her identity and wanted to get in touch with the General's Mansion, why hasn't Long Ziheng come to her door yet?

Li Muxia couldn't understand it at all. She felt like her IQ had dropped a bit. Dating was just too difficult.

After Li Muxia fell asleep, Qingyun, who was hiding in the shadows, quietly left and sent Li Muxia's latest situation to the Shadow Pavilion's spy, who then passed it on to Feng Yuhan.

Meanwhile, Feng Yuhan had already reverted to his identity as Dongfang Jincheng and was currently in a secret room in the Prince Rui's mansion, looking at a middle-aged woman who seemed to be out of her mind.

This woman was Jing Fang, Dongfang Jincheng's mother's former personal maid. She was also possibly the only one who knew the truth about the Empress's death.

When Jingfang was found before, she was not in good condition. For some reason, she had become a farmer's wife in a small village near Kyoto. Her husband was a mentally challenged man named Xu Fu who was nearly sixty years old.

According to the village elders, Xu Fu's father once went up the mountain to collect firewood and passed by a small river at the foot of the mountain, where he rescued the unconscious Jingfang from the water.

It took a lot of effort to save her, and Jingfang was lucky to survive. However, after Jingfang woke up, everyone noticed that she was acting strangely. She was afraid of people and would grab people and say, "My master is in danger, my child is in danger, please save my master."

When everyone asked her who she was and who her master was, she started shaking her head repeatedly, shouting, "You are all bad people. I can't tell you. You are all bad people."

In the end, the villagers didn't get any information out of her. However, Xu Fu's mother thought that although Jing Fang was mentally impaired, she was quite pretty, with delicate skin, and was even prettier than the most beautiful woman in the village.

It just so happens that their son was born with mental disabilities and was nearly forty years old without finding a wife. Their family had also saved Jingfang's life. Wasn't this a daughter-in-law sent to the Xu family by God?

In the end, Jingfang became Xu Fu's mentally challenged wife, which became a big joke in the village. Two mentally challenged people got married, and everyone wanted to know if their child would also be mentally challenged. Unfortunately, even though Xu Fu and Jingfang lived together for more than ten years, they did not have a child. Everyone said that it was retribution for Xu Fu's parents taking advantage of him.

Xu Fu's parents also gave up. Although they didn't get to hold their grandson, it was good enough that their son had a companion, so they didn't ask for anything more.

The secret guards saw Xu Fu and Jing Fang being bullied while on a mission. At this time, Xu Fu's parents had been dead for half a year. Both Xu Fu and Jing Fang had mental problems. Having lost their parents in the village, it was no wonder that they were often bullied.

Of course, there are also kind-hearted people in the village who sometimes can't bear to see them suffer and will bring them some food; otherwise, the two of them wouldn't have survived for so long.

The guards initially didn't intend to get involved, since such bullying happens everywhere. If they were to intervene every time they encountered it, they wouldn't have anything else to do but meddle in other people's business.

Just as the two were about to leave, they suddenly heard Jingfang shout, "You bunch of bad people, you mustn't hurt Her Majesty!"

As luck would have it, the two guards also knew that the mission personally assigned by the Pavilion Master was to find Jingfang, the Empress's maid who had been missing for many years. Although they did not know who the "Empress" the madwoman was talking about was, they still brought her back out of caution.

Xu Fu was not so lucky. Because he was old, after his parents died, he went hungry. Before the guards could bring him back to the Shadow Pavilion, he died.

After returning to the Shadow Pavilion, I compared Jingfang with the portrait. Although Jingfang was old and had been ravaged by life in recent years, her features still resembled those in the portrait.

This is why Feng Yuhan left without saying goodbye when he was in Wan Du Mountain; this was someone he had been searching for for over ten years.

After bringing the person back to Prince Rui's mansion, they took great care of her. Jingfang seemed to have suffered a great shock and was acting erratically, constantly shouting, "Bad people, you are all bad people."

During this time, Dongfang Jincheng had someone pretend to be Jingfang's mother and son, and invited several doctors to examine Jingfang. After examining her, each doctor shook his head and said, "Young master, you should find someone more skilled. I am powerless to help your mother with this illness."

However, Dongfang Jincheng did not give up. He had considered asking the Medical Sage to take a look, but he was worried that Jingfang's identity would be exposed, so he did not take any action.

Upon returning this time, Dongfang Jincheng heard that Jingfang's condition seemed to have improved somewhat, so these past few days, he has been staying at the Prince's Mansion and visiting Jingfang every day, hoping to learn the truth about what happened back then from her.

Unfortunately, they only managed to get a few words from Jingfang, which were of little use.

Just as Dongfang Jincheng returned to his study empty-handed once again, Zhu Feng entered.

"Master, the message from the Shadow Pavilion was sent by Qingyun."

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Jincheng realized that he seemed to have forgotten something.

He took the secret letter from Zhu Feng and read it carefully. Sure enough, it recorded some of Li Muxia's recent activities.

When he saw the last line of text, Dongfang Jincheng's lips twitched involuntarily.

"Master, Miss Li has been inquiring about a man named Long Ziheng lately. It seems their relationship is quite special. Master, we must act quickly, or the Pavilion Master's wife will be abducted."

Dongfang Jincheng thought to himself: Is Qingyun getting bolder and bolder?
