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

Lingshan Temple is not far from the capital, only half an hour away by horseback. However, Li Muxia and his group took a carriage, so it took them almost an hour and a half to reach the foot of the mountain. They knew they would miss the vegetarian meal time once they arrived at Lingshan Temple, so they decided to eat something at the foot of the mountain before going up.

The group found a relatively clean and flat place. Hong'er and Chunxing spread out a blanket, while Cui'er and Qiuju took the food down from the carriage. The group then sat on the blanket and began to eat.

Li Muxia also told the guards to quickly eat something, and everyone found a place to eat, either sitting or standing.

After everyone finished eating and rested for a while, they set off to climb the mountain.

Lingshan Temple is usually very popular, so the mountain path is not difficult to walk. The group arrived at Lingshan Temple quickly. To Li Muxia's surprise, she ran into someone she knew today.

“Sister Anran is here to offer incense today too, what a coincidence.” Feng Jingxin was clearly surprised to run into Li Anran here.

Li Anran didn't want to pay attention to her, and Feng Jingxin didn't give her a friendly look either.

Feng Jingxin wasn't annoyed. She looked at Li Muxia next to Li Anran with some amazement and surprise: Who is this extremely beautiful woman? She looks so familiar. How come she's with Li Anran?

Feng Jingxin hadn't seen Li Muxia for a year, so she naturally didn't know about Li Muxia's changes. She still thought Li Muxia was the same big fat woman weighing over 200 kilograms. Moreover, she didn't believe that anyone could go from a big fat woman weighing over 200 kilograms to a slender beauty weighing less than 50 kilograms in a year.

"Whose family is this young lady from? I've never seen her before," Feng Jingxin asked in confusion.

Li Anran and Li Muxia had absolutely no intention of paying attention to this hypocrite.

Li Anran: "Who she is is none of your business. Humph, sis, let's go."

As he spoke, he pulled Li Muxia to the prayer mat, where she knelt down and offered incense.

Feng Jingxin was very angry at Li Anran's impolite attitude, but she put on a wronged expression.

Seeing the figure entering through the doorway out of the corner of her eye, tears immediately streamed down her face. She stammered, "Sister Anran, I know that the Emperor has bestowed a marriage upon me and Prince Chen, and you feel that I stole the person that Sister Muxia likes, so you harbor resentment towards me. However, you should know that when the Emperor bestowed this marriage upon us, Sister Muxia had already been announcing the annulment of the engagement."

She spoke the words "Issue an order to annul the engagement" loudly, as if she wanted everyone in the hall to know.

Upon hearing this, Li Anran wanted nothing more than to cover Feng Jingxin's mouth. She glanced cautiously at Li Muxia and was relieved to find that she didn't seem angry or sad.

Since Li Muxia returned, they have been deliberately avoiding this matter, fearing that Li Muxia still has feelings for Prince Chen, since Li Muxia was indeed very fond of Prince Chen in the past.

"Xin'er, what's wrong? Why are you crying? Who bullied you?" Feng Xiao, who was following behind Prince Chen, saw his younger sister crying her eyes out as soon as she entered, and quickly stepped forward to ask. At the same time, she was a little angry that Prince Chen hadn't shown concern for her sister in time.

Before Feng Jingxin could answer, Li Muxia stood up, turned around, and looked at Feng Xiao, saying, "Young master, no one here is bullying your sister. I wonder if there's something wrong with your sister." As she spoke, Li Muxia pointed to her temple.

She continued, "My sister and I came to offer incense, and your sister immediately started pestering us. My sister and I don't like to interact too much with people we don't know, but your sister just wouldn't let it go, insisting on talking to us and acting like she'd been bullied. She kept telling us her own story, and to be honest, we didn't want to listen. You should talk to her; we have a lot of things to do, so we won't listen to your sister's love stories here."

Feng Xiao was stunned when Li Muxia turned around. He had never seen such a beautiful girl before. He thought that Wei Shuyue, who was known as the most beautiful woman in the capital, was beautiful enough, but compared with the person in front of him, she was simply not worth mentioning.

However, upon hearing Li Muxia's blunt words, the feelings of admiration that had been rising in her heart were suppressed, and her face grew darker and darker.

The woman's words implied that it was her younger sister who had clung to him, and the key point was that the younger sister didn't want to be clung to. This greatly hurt the pride of the Feng siblings, who had always been pampered by everyone.

After saying these words, Li Muxia was about to leave, but how could Feng Xiao let her off so easily? He stepped forward and tried to grab Li Muxia's arm.

However, he was stopped by a male voice and abruptly withdrew his hand.

"Feng Xiao, stop."

Everyone present looked in the direction of the male voice.

A handsome man stood at the doorway, staring at the group with a blank expression.

When Li Muxia saw the man, she recognized him at a glance as her ex-fiancé, Prince Chen, Dongfang Jinlin.

To be honest, this man is indeed quite handsome; no wonder he's one of the four most handsome men in Kyoto. And no wonder the original owner fell in love at first sight.

Dongfang Jinlin also looked at Li Muxia, and just one glance made him somewhat infatuated. He prided himself on not being a person who was fond of beautiful women, but he was still attracted by Li Muxia's beauty at first sight. However, Li Muxia's words just now were too sharp, which he disliked. He felt from the bottom of his heart that women should be gentle and generous, and should not be aggressive. Clearly, Li Muxia's behavior just now made him feel that Li Muxia's personality was too sharp.

Seeing Dongfang Jinlin staring at Li Muxia in a daze, Feng Jingxin could hardly hide her jealousy. Although she had been betrothed to Prince Chen by the Emperor, it was all thanks to Prime Minister Feng's pleading with the Emperor. Prince Chen didn't truly love her; he was simply following the Emperor's decree.

Over the past few months, she had been creating various opportunities to spend time with Prince Chen, which had already made him less resistant to her.

Even this chance encounter at Lingshan Temple was arranged by her bribing a servant in Prince Chen's mansion beforehand. She knew that Prince Chen was going to Lingshan Temple to pray for his wet nurse, so she arranged this chance meeting.

Now, seeing Prince Chen staring at another woman in a daze, her sense of crisis returned. She had finally gotten rid of Li Muxia, and now another vixen had appeared out of nowhere.

Thinking of this, Feng Jingxin deliberately walked between Dongfang Jinlin and Li Muxia, blocking their view, and said in a sweet voice, "Your Highness."

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Jinlin subconsciously frowned.

Now that they knew the man's identity, Li Muxia and Li Anran could no longer stand still. They bowed and said, "This humble woman greets Your Highness Prince Chen."

Dongfang Jinlin raised his hand, gesturing for the two to stand up.
