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

Upon arriving at the Imperial Garden, the men stopped and walked in another direction, while the women could stroll around the Imperial Garden before the banquet began.

Li Muxia and Li Anran followed Shangguan Wanyun and found a place to rest.

At this moment, a girl about the same age as Li Anran came to the group.

Li Anran was delighted to see the newcomer and said, "Lanzhi, you're here too."

Su Lanzhi bowed to Shangguan Wanyun and said, "Lanzhi greets Madam Li."

Shangguan Wanyun quickly helped Su Lanzhi up and said, "You silly child, didn't I tell you last time that you can just call me aunt? You and Ran'er are good friends, so don't be so polite."

Su Lanzhi then called out shyly, "Auntie."

Shangguan Wanyun: "Oh, good child."

Li Anran stepped forward, took Su Lanzhi's hand, and led her to Li Muxia, saying, "Sister, let me introduce you. This is my good friend, Su Lanzhi."

After saying that, he turned to look at Su Lanzhi and said, "Lanzhi, this is my sister, Li Muxia."

Upon hearing this, Li Muxia put down the fan in her hand, revealing her stunningly beautiful face, which instantly stunned Su Lanzhi, who was about to bow.

Looking at Su Lanzhi's expression, Li Anran chuckled and teased, "Lanzhi, what's wrong? You don't happen to have a crush on my sister, do you?"

Upon hearing this, Su Lanzhi snapped out of her daze, her face instantly turning red. Realizing her lapse in composure, she quickly apologized, "Miss, I'm sorry, Lanzhi was rude."

Upon hearing this, Li Muxia chuckled and said, "You little girl, you're so young, how come you're so mature? What do you mean by offending me? You're An Ran's good friend, and you're also my good friend. From now on, just call me 'sister,' like An Ran does."

Li Muxia quite likes Su Lanzhi. Since she is recognized by Li Anran, she must be a good person.

Seeing that Li Muxia was so easy to talk to, Su Lanzhi relaxed a little. She had heard about Li Muxia before, and after becoming good friends with Li Anran, she heard some things about Li Muxia from Li Anran. She was very curious about Li Muxia, and after meeting her today, she liked Li Muxia even more.

Watching how Li Muxia and Li Anran got along made her incredibly envious. She dreamed that her own sisters could be like Li Muxia and Li Anran.

Su Lanzhi arrived relatively early and had been strolling around the Imperial Garden for a while. Now she suggested, "Sister Xia, Anran, the lotus flowers over there are especially beautiful. Would you like to go and take a look?"

Li Anran became interested immediately upon hearing this, but she had promised her mother that she wouldn't run around today, so she looked at Shangguan Wanyun with some difficulty.

Shangguan Wanyun received her daughter's signal and immediately understood what she meant. She smiled helplessly and said, "Go if you want to, but the banquet is about to start, so don't stay too long. I'll wait for you here."

With her mother's approval, Li Anran grabbed one child by the hand and headed towards the place Su Lanzhi had pointed out.

When the three arrived, there were already quite a few young ladies admiring the lotus flowers. Seeing that there were too many people, Li Muxia pulled the two of them to a place where there were fewer people.

However, she wanted to keep a low profile, but someone insisted on pulling her back into the public eye.

"Isn't this An Ran?"

A charming voice rang out, and Li Muxia and Li Anran knew who it was without even turning their heads.

Li Anran whispered, "Sis, this Feng Jingxin is like a fly, so annoying."

Li Muxia was also annoyed by Feng Jingxin, but she had no choice but to turn to the newcomer and ask, "Miss Feng, what brings you here?"

When Feng Jingxin saw that the person who answered was the beautiful woman she had seen at the temple, she was a little puzzled. After carefully looking at Li Muxia's appearance, she suddenly realized and said, "You, you are Li Muxia."

She felt that Li Muxia looked familiar when she last saw her. It turned out that it really was Li Muxia. She didn't expect that this person would become so beautiful after losing weight.

Her startled breath attracted the attention of many young ladies, who were all stunned by Li Muxia's beauty.

People have already started whispering.

Miss A: "When did Kyoto have such a beautiful woman?"

Miss B: "Didn't you hear Feng Jingxin say she was Li Muxia just now?"

Miss C: "What? No way? You mean she's that fat girl?"

Miss B: "Keep your voice down."

Miss Ding: "Wasn't it rumored that Li Muxia went on a journey to study with some reclusive master? When did she come back? And she's become so beautiful."

The group of young ladies spoke very softly, and Li Muxia and the others did not hear them.

Li Muxia: "Yes, my name is Li Muxia. What, Miss Feng, you don't recognize me after not seeing me for several months?"

Feng Jingxin looked at Li Muxia's appearance and was extremely jealous, but she didn't show it on her face at all.

With a kind smile on his face, he approached Li Muxia and said, "Muxia, what are you saying? We are best friends. I missed you every day while you were gone. I know that you were rejected by Prince Chen, and now the Emperor has bestowed a marriage between me and Prince Chen. You have resentment towards me and you are not feeling well. I apologize to you."

The ladies around Feng Jingxin all thought she was a magnanimous person. Even though it wasn't her fault, she was willing to apologize to Li Muxia to ease Li Muxia's resentment.

Li Muxia became the unreasonable, spoiled, and willful young lady who blamed others for her own mistakes.

Feng Jingxin's words reminded everyone of what kind of person Li Muxia was before.

Instantly, accusations arose from all around.

Miss A: "Sure enough, even if someone becomes more beautiful, their nature will not change."

Miss B: "Exactly, what a waste of such a beautiful face given to her by God."

Miss C: "It's best to stay away from this kind of person in the future."

This time, they didn't lower their voices, as if they were deliberately trying to let Li Muxia hear them.

Hearing the accusations around her, Li Anran's face turned red with anger. Just as she was about to argue with them, Li Muxia grabbed her arm.

Li Anran could only stay by Li Muxia's side, feeling wronged. She remembered that when she left, her mother had told them to be careful and cautious in the palace and not to cause trouble.

Seeing Feng Jingxin's hypocritical expression, Li Muxia really didn't want to play along with her. She said directly, "Miss Feng is right. I haven't congratulated you on becoming the future Princess Consort of Chen yet. It seems His Highness Chen likes green tea. You and His Highness Chen are a match made in heaven. I wish you both a long and happy marriage in advance. If there's nothing else, we'll be leaving now. After all, it's really awkward for the two of us to be together."

Without waiting for Feng Jingxin's reply, he left with Li Anran and Su Lanzhi.
