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

At the same time, Li Muxia was also thinking about who would impersonate a young novice monk to lure him here, and what their purpose was. But whatever their purpose, it was ultimately not a good thing.

Looking around, Li Muxia said, "Little Master, I suddenly remembered that I have something to do, so the blessing will have to wait a while."

The young novice monk turned around and said, “Benefactor, we’ll be there soon. Let’s wait for Master Huizhi to bestow his blessing upon you before we go. You should know that Master Huizhi’s blessing is very rare.”

Li Muxia was even more certain that this person was suspicious, but she couldn't afford to confront him now, so she patiently said, "No, this matter is very important, I have to go now. I'm sorry."

After saying that, he tried to pull Li Anran away.

The young novice monk made a gesture when he saw that the person was about to leave.

Immediately, more than a dozen guards appeared from all around. Li Muxia recognized one of them at a glance – wasn't he the servant who had been following Feng Xiao earlier?

After seeing this, what else could she not understand?

She gave a cold laugh. She quietly moved the items from her bosom to her hand. She hadn't thought she'd need these things for this trip to Lingshan Temple, but it seemed bringing them with her was the right thing to do.

He was only annoyed that he hadn't been vigilant enough, which had put Anran in danger.

Li Anran was clearly frightened. She grabbed Li Muxia's arm and whispered, "Sister."

Li Muxia whispered to comfort her, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

These words reassured Li Anran a lot, but she still nervously clung to Li Muxia's arm.

Hong'er and Cui'er also stood in front of Li Muxia and Li Anran, looking as if they were ready to die for their cause.

"Miss, don't be afraid, Hong'er (Cui'er) will protect you." Both of their voices trembled, clearly showing their fear.

Li Muxia pulled the two behind her and said, "Don't worry, your young lady isn't someone to be trifled with."

After saying that, she gave the two a wink. They knew that Li Muxia had something that could save her life. Although they were still worried, they obediently hid behind Li Muxia so as not to cause her any trouble.

The young novice monk looked at Li Muxia and said, "I still advise the two young ladies to be sensible and come with us willingly, so they can suffer less physical pain."

Li Muxia glanced at the guards around him. They seemed to be ordinary guards with low internal strength. He decided to take a gamble and see if the medicine in his hand would work faster or if these guards could act faster.

Li Muxia said coldly, "What if I don't know what's good for me?"

Upon hearing Li Muxia's words, the young monk laughed and said, "Then don't blame us rough men for hurting the two young ladies' delicate skin with our strong hands."

After saying that, he waved to signal the people around him to take action.

As the guards drew closer, Li Muxia prepared for her chance. Qingyun, hiding in the shadows, was also ready. He had noticed Li Muxia's movements and knew she had a backup plan. To avoid being exposed, he only needed to make his move when Li Muxia was in danger.

Just as both sides were about to fight, a sharp shout rang out: "What are you doing?"

Everyone was startled and looked in the direction of the sound, only to see Prince Chen looking at them with a gloomy expression.

When Li Muxia saw Dongfang Jinlin arrive, she knew that she was safe for the time being, and quietly put away the things in her hands again.

Seeing that their scheme had been exposed, the young novice monk and his servants quickly made a gesture to someone nearby. Taking advantage of everyone's distraction, that person quietly left to inform the others. Li Muxia naturally saw this as well, but she didn't speak up to stop them. It was time to let the person behind the scenes come out.

The young novice monk knelt on the ground with a group of guards and said, "This humble servant greets Prince Chen. My young master and the young lady from the General's Mansion had some misunderstandings before, and he specially asked me to invite the young lady here for tea to apologize."

Listening to the servant's nonchalant ramblings without batting an eye, Li Muxia laughed instead of getting angry and said, "I didn't know that inviting two weak women for tea required more than a dozen guards, and that you even used deception to trick the two sisters into coming here. Your Prime Minister's Mansion's way of apologizing is truly unique."

After hearing this, and looking at the guard dressed as a young novice monk, who wouldn't know what was going on? Prince Chen wasn't stupid; of course, he understood the meaning behind Li Muxia's words.

Upon hearing Li Muxia's words, the young monk quickly retorted, "Miss, please don't wrong me. We came here with the utmost sincerity to invite you. You must have misunderstood something."

"A misunderstanding?" Li Muxia was truly impressed by the guard's ability to lie through his teeth.

"Then why are you dressed as a novice monk, and why do you say you didn't trick us into coming here?"

The guard had already prepared his explanation and retorted, "I am devoted to Buddhism, but I cannot become a monk because I have to serve my young master. My young master is understanding and allowed me to wear the clothes of a novice monk from Lingshan Temple to have some fun. Is that against the law?"

Everyone knew immediately that this reason was far-fetched, but was there any evidence to prove that what this person said was false?

It must be said that this guard was very clever and quick-witted.

Li Muxia knew she had no evidence in today's matter, so she could only suffer in silence.

However, since the bad guys can't be punished through legal means, the only way to vent one's anger is to use one's own methods.

Li Muxia stopped arguing. Looking at Feng Xiao who had rushed over, she felt even more disgusted. These two siblings from the Feng family were really sick. She and An Ran had never offended them. She didn't know what was wrong with them.

Upon arriving, Feng Xiao bowed to Prince Chen and then looked at the guards, saying, "You lot, didn't I tell you to invite the two young ladies for tea? What have you been doing?"

Watching Feng Xiao's pretentious acting, Li Muxia really wanted to slap him across the face.

Prince Chen looked at Feng Xiao and said, "Did you really send someone to invite the two young ladies for tea?"

Feng Xiao immediately said with an innocent look, "Yes, I also felt that I was too harsh on the two young ladies before, so I wanted to find an opportunity to apologize to them. So I sent people to invite them, thinking that sending more people would be more sincere. Who knew that it would turn out like this, making the two young ladies misunderstand me even more."

This statement sounds unreasonable, but no one has any evidence to refute it right now.

Prince Chen naturally had no way to convict Feng Xiao.

Therefore, this matter can only be left as it is.

Looking at Li Muxia, he said apologetically, "Since it's a misunderstanding, let's not pursue it too much. Feng Xiao, please apologize to the two young ladies."

Although Feng Xiao was unwilling, he still stepped forward and said, "Ladies, I was wrong in this matter and caused you to misunderstand. It was really my fault. I apologize to you both and hope that you can forgive me."

Li Muxia snorted coldly and said, "We both know what really happened. I can't accept your hypocritical apology. As the saying goes, heaven is watching what people do. All the gods and Buddhas in heaven can see clearly what you are thinking."
