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

However, he soon had no time to ponder why Qingyun was becoming increasingly audacious, because he didn't know how to explain his identity to Li Muxia.

She originally planned to go to the General's Mansion to explain things to Li Muxia as soon as she got back, but she was delayed for two days because of Jing Fang's matter. Now that Li Muxia has discovered that Long Ziheng does not exist, she will definitely think that she was lying to her.

Thinking of this, Dongfang Jincheng looked at Zhu Feng and asked, "Zhu Feng, do you think it's too late for me to go and explain things to Mu Xia now?"

Zhu Feng looked at Dongfang Jincheng earnestly and said, "I believe that as long as Master explains it clearly, Miss Li will understand."

Upon hearing Zhu Feng's words, Dongfang Jincheng got up and wanted to go find Li Muxia: "Okay, I'll go and explain it to her right away."

Before he could even stand up completely, a pleasant voice came from the doorway: "Whom does Prince Rui want to explain himself to?"

Then a handsome man in a crescent-shaped robe appeared in Dongfang Jincheng's study.

Dongfang Jincheng looked at the newcomer and said, "Senior brother, what brings you here?"

Zhu Feng, who was standing to the side, quickly bowed and said, "Zhu Feng greets the Vice Pavilion Master."

Indeed, the person who arrived was none other than Jun Mochen, the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review.

Jun Mochen looked at Dongfang Jincheng and said, "You've been back for two days now, and I haven't seen you come to see me. You don't even go to court yourself; you have to send Huaying instead. So I had to come and see you myself."

Dongfang Jincheng: "There's nothing major happening in the court right now. I happen to have something to do and can't leave, so I'll have Huaying pretend for a few more days."

Hua Ying is also one of the Shadow Guards of the Dark Shadow Pavilion. He is Dongfang Jincheng's exclusive double. Whenever Dongfang Jincheng needs him, he will disguise himself as Dongfang Jincheng and play the role of Prince Rui for him.

Jun Mochen: "I just heard that you were going to explain something to someone. Who is this person? Such a big face, that Prince Rui has to explain it to them personally."

Seeing Jun Mochen's gossipy look, Dongfang Jincheng knew that if he didn't speak up today, Jun Mochen would pester him all night.

Finally, she told him about her relationship with Li Muxia. Jun Mochen was the person Dongfang Jincheng trusted most in the world, so there were some things he was willing to tell Jun Mochen.

Jun Mochen looked at Dongfang Jincheng in surprise after hearing this: "What did you say? The person you like is that fat young lady from the General's Mansion? Are you crazy?"

As she spoke, she stepped forward and touched his forehead.

Dongfang Jincheng slapped his hand away impatiently and said, "Mu Xia isn't like the rumors. In the few months I've spent with her, my impression of her is completely different from the rumors. She's kind, wise, and studious. In short, she has many good qualities. Moreover, I've found that she's different from those rich young ladies. You'll understand when you meet her."

She glanced at Jun Mochen and saw his surprised expression.

Jun Mochen: They've started calling each other Mu Xia so affectionately, ugh, this kid's gotten so cheesy now that he's realized it.

Dongfang Jincheng continued, "Oh, by the way, the 'Medical Immortal Xia Mu' that's been circulating among the people lately, that's her too."

This bombshell news made Jun Mochen's already surprised mouth gape open even wider.

Impossible, absolutely impossible. How could that fat, good-for-nothing be the revered medical sage?

Jun Mochen was stunned by the series of news and it took him a while to react.

He asked, "Is she really as good as you say?"

Dongfang Jincheng nodded solemnly.

Jun Mochen: "Then I really want to meet the current General Miss. But, what did you say you were going to explain to her earlier?"

Dongfang Jincheng: "Well, it's a long story, but it's just that I hid my identity from her. I approached Mu Xia as a wealthy businessman from the capital. I kept it from her because I couldn't reveal my identity. I originally planned to explain it to her when I returned to the capital, but I was delayed because of Jing Fang's matter. Recently, Mu Xia has been asking about me, so I'm afraid she'll blame me for deceiving her."

Jun Mochen said nonchalantly, "If she knew you were the famous Prince Rui, she'd probably be overjoyed and wouldn't have a chance to be angry with you."

Dongfang Jincheng disagreed with Jun Mochen's words and retorted, "It's not a matter of status. It's just that I feel I haven't been honest enough with her. Besides, Mu Xia isn't the kind of person who would fawn over the powerful."

Jun Mochen still felt his own thoughts were correct, but he didn't refute Dongfang Jincheng's words. After all, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and there was no point in saying anything now. His junior brother would understand later when he suffered the consequences of his feelings.

However, he still reminded him, "Don't go today. Don't you know what time it is? Be careful the old general doesn't think you're a lecher and kick you out."

Dongfang Jincheng looked outside and realized it was indeed getting late, but in the end he didn't go to the General's Mansion to find Li Muxia.

The next day, Li Muxia went out early and handed the completed blueprints to Manager Wang, asking him to find craftsmen as soon as possible to complete the store upgrade. He also had someone bring him a piece of red paper with the words "Store Upgrade, Stay Tuned!" written on it.

When the red paper was posted, passersby stopped to watch and whispered among themselves.

"This cyclamen restaurant is really unlucky. It was a perfectly good restaurant, but then that kind of thing happened."

"Who says otherwise? We don't even know what this is supposed to do. Upgrade? We don't even know what that means?"

"However, even if it reopens in the future, with someone having died in the lobby, who would want to go in to eat? Wouldn't that just be asking for trouble?"

"Yeah, let's hurry up and leave, there's nothing to see."

Li Muxia ignored the murmurs in the crowd, finished explaining what needed to be done, and left. She had many other things to take care of.

After leaving, Li Muxia took Hong'er and Cui'er to the market and bought a lot of ingredients for hot pot base. She wanted to promote hot pot before the restaurant was renovated.

After buying the materials, because there were too many things, Li Muxia asked the butcher to help her deliver them back to the General's Mansion, and asked Hong'er to stay and lead the butcher back to the General's Mansion.

Afterwards, Li Muxia took Cui'er to the blacksmith shop where they had previously made the hot pot stove.

The several hot pots that had been ordered earlier were finished. The blacksmith's craftsmanship was excellent, and the workmanship was superb. Li Muxia ordered a few more to use in the restaurant. She asked the blacksmith to deliver the finished products to the General's Mansion, paid the deposit, and left.

After leaving the blacksmith's shop, it was already getting late. Li Muxia took Cui'er to a restaurant, intending to have lunch there. They still had many things to do in the afternoon.
