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

"Your Highness, let's be frank. You're a good person, and I don't want to lie to you. I've grown a lot this year, and I've let go of the past. I hope Your Highness can move forward and not dwell on the past. Your Highness is a wise man, and the road ahead is full of challenges. Your Highness shouldn't waste your energy on petty romances. Besides, someone as outstanding as Your Highness deserves a woman who cherishes you even more. If one day Your Highness meets someone you love in return, Mu Xia will sincerely offer her blessings."

Although Li Muxia's words were not direct, they clearly expressed her thoughts, telling Dongfang Jinlin her answer, as well as Dongfang Jincheng who was eavesdropping.

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Jinlin's eyes became complicated and misty. He knew he had missed his chance, but he was unwilling to accept it, truly unwilling. She was the person he had loved for five years. The heartache was even greater than when he discovered she had changed five years ago.

Dongfang Jincheng's feelings at this moment were completely different from Dongfang Jinlin's. Li Muxia had liked Dongfang Jinlin so much, and even though the two were already together, he was still a little worried that Dongfang Jinlin still held a place in Li Muxia's heart.

Now that he heard Li Muxia's answer, he was completely relieved.

Just as I was about to step towards the two of them, I was patted on the shoulder.

"Jincheng, what are you doing standing here?"

That's Jun Mochen's voice.

"Yes, Third Brother, there's no art exhibition here either?" That was Dongfang Jinxuan's voice.

Dongfang Jincheng turned to the two of them and said, "You two are done with your work."

Dongfang Jinxuan: "Hmm, this case is quite perplexing. Fortunately, my father arranged for me to work at the Dali Temple. I never imagined that anything could happen in this world."

Jun Mochen: "What's so special about this? I've seen far more unbelievable things. Wait, isn't that Xia Xia over there? Why is she with Prince Chen?"

Jun Mochen looked at Dongfang Jincheng with suspicion, not understanding what Dongfang Jincheng was thinking. How could he let those two be alone? Wasn't he afraid that the two would rekindle their romance?

Upon hearing Li Muxia's name, Dongfang Jinxuan exclaimed in realization, "No wonder Third Brother, who usually dislikes attending gatherings, came to this art exhibition today. It turns out there's a beauty here. I knew it! Third Brother's painting skills far surpass any of these paintings; why would he be interested in them?"

Ignoring Dongfang Jinxuan's teasing, Dongfang Jincheng strode forward.

Just as Dongfang Jinlin was about to say something more, he heard Dongfang Jincheng's voice: "Second Imperial Brother."

Dongfang Jinlin swallowed the words he was about to say and turned to look at the newcomers: "Third brother, fourth brother, Lord Jun, you..."

Jun Mochen: "This humble official greets Your Highness Prince Chen. Prince Xian and I came here after finishing our official business. Seeing Your Highness here, we came over to say hello."

After saying that, he turned to look at Li Muxia and said, "Miss Li is here too."

Li Muxia then bowed to the group and said, "Yes, I met Prince Chen at the art exhibition and we chatted for a bit."

Looking up, she met Dongfang Jincheng's calm, still eyes. Recalling the scene when she disembarked, Li Muxia quickly looked away, bowed her head, and said, "Since the princes and Lord Jun have something to say, I will take my leave now."

After saying this, he bowed to the group and left without looking back.

Li Muxia's unusual behavior was noticed by the men present.

Dongfang Jinlin: Could it be that she has fallen for the third brother?

Jun Mochen: It seems that this kid has been doing something while they were away.

Dongfang Jinxuan: Not bad, Third Brother, as expected of you, you won her over so quickly.

Dongfang Jincheng: Uh... He just left like that.

Li Muxia fled from the encirclement of the four men as if escaping. After wandering around the pavilion for a while, she found the people from the General's Mansion. Everyone was now gathered together, preparing to go back.

On the return trip, Wei Shuyue and Su Lanzhi still took their own boat. Finally, they were dropped off at their doorsteps.

After this incident, Li Muxia got busy again. Early the next morning, she went to find Steward Wu and took him to the manor outside the city.

Li Muxia originally thought that she would encounter the same kind of drama as other transmigrated women, such as the landlord bullying the tenants, or the landlord embezzling money and forcibly abducting women.

Unexpectedly, upon arriving at the estate, she discovered an extraordinary harmony. Whether it was between the estate manager and the tenants, or between the estate manager and her, the head of the household, everyone got along very well, which was almost unbelievable to Li Muxia, the transmigrated woman.

Something's not right. Why isn't it following the script? She was all ready for the big show.

The head of the village was only about forty years old. He must have worked in the fields a lot. He had dark skin and wasn't the pot-bellied man she had imagined. The head of the village was surnamed Liu and was the fifth child in his family, so everyone called him Liu Laowu (Liu the Fifth). The head of the village's wife was in her early forties and looked rather simple. Like Liu Laowu, she also had dark skin. The two had three sons and two daughters, the oldest being eighteen and the youngest just three years old.

Today, Liu Laowu heard that the master was coming to the village, so he brought his whole family to wait at the gate early in the morning.

Upon seeing Li Muxia's carriage arrive, before Li Muxia could even get out, he and his entire family knelt on the ground.

Li Muxia was a little confused by the headman's actions, so she quickly went down to help him up and said, "Everyone, there's no need for this. You don't need to perform such a grand ceremony when you see me in the future."

Liu Laowu quickly said, "How can this be? Madam is the savior of our whole family, and Miss is Madam's daughter, so she is also the savior of our Liu family."

Li Muxia knew that she couldn't change their minds in a short time, so she didn't say anything more and decided to take it slowly later.

Led by Liu Zhuangtou, Li Muxia toured the estate. It was quite large, covering a thousand acres, with fifty or sixty tenant households and even a hill. This greatly surprised Li Muxia.

Liu Zhuangtou managed the estate very well; judging from the degree of support the tenants had for him, it was clear that Liu Laowu was a good man.

Li Muxia was very satisfied with him. She had been prepared to change the head of the estate, but now it had saved her a lot of trouble.

Li Muxia explained her purpose for coming, and when she handed the greenhouse blueprints to Liu Laowu, she clearly saw a look of surprise and delight on his face. He held the blueprints and studied them for a long time.

He's a farmer, toiling in the fields every day. If he could grow fresh vegetables even in winter, what a great deed that would be!

Her young lady is truly remarkable; she is indeed worthy of being the lady's daughter.

However, judging from the manufacturing process of this greenhouse, the cost must have been considerable.

He frowned and looked at Li Muxia, saying, "Miss, this greenhouse is indeed very nice, but it will probably cost a lot to build. The tenants in our Zhuangzi Mountain are not wealthy people, so perhaps..."

He didn't say anything more, but Li Muxia already understood his concerns.
