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

Judging from Li Muxia's words, it was clear that Feng Jingxin deliberately brought up her marriage to Li Anran in order to humiliate her. As a prince who was used to palace intrigues, how could he not know this?

Although Feng Jingxin always appeared well-mannered, gentle, and generous in front of outsiders, she harbored some resentment and hostility towards the family of the person she had been engaged to Prince Chen. Prince Chen could understand this, so he did not blame her too much. However, he did dislike Feng Jingxin's behavior.

Feng Jingxin naturally noticed that Dongfang Jinlin was somewhat angry, and said, "Your Highness, I was just greeting Sister Anran. I didn't expect Sister Anran to suddenly get angry at me. I just wanted to know the reason, but who knew that this young lady would say such unpleasant things about me."

After saying that, Feng Jingxin wiped away her tears again, feeling wronged.

Both Li Muxia and Li Anran wanted to give her a thumbs up for her shamelessness.

Their relationship had already fallen apart a year ago on the football field, but unexpectedly, Feng Jingxin acted as if nothing had happened. She really has a very strong mentality.

However, they had important things to do today and didn't have time to argue with Feng Jingxin.

After listening to Feng Jingxin's words, Dongfang Jinlin frowned slightly. He knew that these were just minor squabbles between women, and it was not appropriate for him, as a man, to interfere too much. Moreover, there were only the two groups of women in the hall, and he did not know the facts of what happened or who was right or wrong. It also seemed that neither side had suffered any losses.

He said, "Alright, Miss Feng, let's let this matter pass. This is a sacred Buddhist place; let's not offend the Buddha."

Seeing the warning in Dongfang Jinlin's eyes, Feng Jingxin dared not say anything more and could only swallow this matter herself.

Seeing that Dongfang Jinlin had no intention of standing up for his fiancée, Li Muxia said, "Your Highness Prince Chengchen, I have other matters to attend to, so I will take my leave now."

Seeing Prince Chen nod, Li Muxia left without hesitation, taking Li Anran with her.

They completely failed to see the hatred in the eyes of Feng Jingxin and her brother Feng Xiao.

After leaving the main hall, Li Muxia and Li Anran immediately found a young novice monk to lead them to Master Huizhi.

This time, they didn't encounter anyone along the way and arrived directly at Master Huizhi's meditation room. The young novice gently knocked on the door: "Uncle Master, two female benefactors have come to invite you down the mountain, saying they are young ladies from the General of the Nation's Mansion."

As soon as the young novice finished speaking, an old but powerful voice came from inside: "Please come in."

Upon receiving a response, the young novice monk gently opened the door and gestured for them to enter. Li Muxia led Li Anran into the room and instructed Hong'er and the others to wait outside.

Upon entering, Li Muxia saw Master Huizhi, who appeared to be around sixty years old. Master Huizhi had a round face, a kind and benevolent expression, and looked at Li Muxia and Li Anran with a smile.

Li Muxia and Li Anran quickly bowed and said, "Muxia (Anran) greets the master."

Master Huizhi asked the two to sit down.

"Please have a seat, both of you."

Upon hearing this, Li Muxia and Li Anran sat down opposite Master Huizhi.

Huizhi gave Li Muxia a meaningful look, and the smile in her eyes deepened.

Looking at the two, he said, "How has the General Protector of the Nation been lately? This humble monk has not seen the old general for a long time."

Li Muxia said, "Grandpa is doing well. He originally wanted to come with us today, but he was busy with court affairs, so he sent us two juniors to invite the master. Grandpa has prepared fine tea at home and is waiting for the master's arrival."

Huizhi laughed after hearing Li Muxia's words: "The old general understands me best. In that case, this humble monk will pack up and go with you two benefactors. You two benefactors can first stroll around Lingshan Temple, and we will set off together after this humble monk has finished packing."

Upon hearing this, Li Muxia led Li Anran out after bowing.

It was their first time visiting Lingshan Temple, and the two were quite curious. Lingshan Temple had a total of six halls, and the distance between each hall was not very far. The two went in and lit incense. Fortunately, they did not run into Feng Jingxin and the others again.

Both of them were a little tired from walking, so they went to rest in a pavilion behind the main hall.

Unfortunately, as if by some strange twist of fate, Feng Xiao suddenly appeared near the pavilion. Looking at the people in the pavilion, an idea suddenly popped into his head.

He turned to the servant beside him and whispered a few words in his ear. The servant asked with a worried look, "Young master, are you sure you want to do this? That's the young lady of the Protector General's mansion. What if things are exposed?"

He didn't finish his sentence, but everyone knows what happened next.

Feng Xiao slapped the servant on the head and said, "What are you afraid of? So what if she's a young lady from the General's Mansion? Now that she's your young master's woman, does she still dare to boast about it? Just give her the position of a concubine, and she'll be grateful for it."

"But..." The servant wanted to say something more, but was stopped by Feng Xiao's impatient look.

In the end, he had no choice but to follow Feng Xiao's instructions.

None of the people in the pavilion knew any of this, but Qingyun, who had been hiding in the shadows protecting Li Muxia, heard it all clearly.

His eyes were filled with murderous intent as he looked at Feng Xiao.

As if sensing Qingyun's killing intent, Fengxiao shivered, looked around warily, but found nothing. After taking one last look at the people in the pavilion, she left.

A short while later, a young novice monk came to Li Muxia and Li Anran. Li Muxia thought that Master Huizhi had finished packing his things, so he quickly got up and prepared to follow the young novice monk to find Master Huizhi.

However, it is clear that the young novice was not sent by Master Huizhi.

"Esteemed benefactors, Master Huizhi has bestowed blessings upon us today. Please follow this humble monk to Master Huizhi's monastery to receive these blessings."

Li Muxia was somewhat surprised after hearing this. They hadn't heard anything about bestowing blessings from Master Huizhi, and wasn't Master Huizhi tidying up his things? Why was he suddenly holding some kind of blessing ceremony?

Although somewhat doubtful, Li Muxia still took Li Anran and followed the young novice monk.

However, as they walked, Li Muxia realized something was wrong. Wasn't this supposed to be Master Huizhi's Zen temple? Although it was their first time visiting Lingshan Temple, they had been to Master Huizhi's Zen temple before. This place was clearly not the one they were looking for; it looked more like a place for pilgrims to stay overnight.

Li Muxia's doubts deepened. She glanced at the young novice monk leading the way and noticed that the shoes the monk was wearing were clearly wrong.

The young monks they had seen before were all wearing tan monk shoes, but this person was wearing a pair of black riding boots, which were clearly shoes worn by servants in wealthy households.

Looking at the person's hair, it was clearly freshly shaved; upon closer inspection, you could even see some stray hairs around the collar.

Seeing this, Li Muxia became wary. She looked around and saw that there was no one around. At this time of day, everyone was either burning incense and praying to Buddha or wandering around the temple. There was no way anyone would be here.
