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

Li Muxia was amused by the two girls' words; they described it quite vividly, to be honest.

The man hated it most when people said he looked like a toad, and he was instantly enraged.

Li Muxia watched as the man's face gradually turned red, his muscular face trembling with anger. The pimples on his face looked like they were about to burst at any moment.

Li Muxia pulled the two little girls back a step and said, "Mr. Toad, take it easy. Don't get too angry. Be careful that those big pustules on your face don't burst. It's not a big deal if they burst, but the important thing is not to splash them on other people. It's disgusting."

Hearing Li Muxia's mocking words and her disgusted expression, the man felt like he couldn't breathe properly. He said to the people around him, "Arrest them, and you can have those two maids as a reward."

Upon hearing the man's words, his subordinates were all excited. Although the two maids were not as graceful as their mistress, they were still quite beautiful.

The group approached Li Muxia and her companions, rubbing their hands together in anticipation.

Li Muxia's four guards immediately drew their swords from their waists, ready to fight.

The two maids were stunned; they hadn't expected this person to actually dare to make a move.

Hong'er: "Miss, this man is too bold. He actually dared to make a move. Isn't he afraid of the old master and the master?"

Li Muxia looked at the silly-looking Hong'er and said, "They don't even know who your grandfather and master are?"

Hong'er tilted her head, blinking her big eyes in confusion: "Didn't we just say that?"

Cui'er: "I think I forgot."

Hong'er: Is it too late to say it now?

Cui'er: "Why don't we give it a try?"

Watching the two little girls chatter away, it seemed as if they had forgotten their own predicament.

Li Muxia shook her head helplessly and said, "What's the point of trying? They're already here. Let's hurry back to the carriage and not add to our burden."

The two maids had a lot of confidence in the four guards. After all, they were guards personally chosen by the old master for the young lady. Although they weren't the best of the best, they were more than capable of dealing with these small fry.

Therefore, the two felt reassured after hearing Li Muxia's words and headed towards the carriage.

When Cui'er got into the carriage and turned around to help her young mistress up, she saw Li Muxia still in the same spot, motionless, watching the fight in front of her with great interest.

Cui'er called out anxiously, "Miss, come up quickly!"

Li Muxia waved her hand without turning her head and said, "You guys go up, I'm fine."

Cui'er and Hong'er exchanged a glance, then obediently got off the carriage and walked to Li Muxia's side.

When Li Muxia saw the two of them return, she asked, "Why are you two back again?"

Cui'er: "If Miss doesn't go up, we won't go up either. We must protect Miss."

Li Muxia: "Protect me? Alright, you two are just causing trouble here. Don't worry, have you forgotten what your young lady has on her?"

After saying that, he patted his waist.

Cui'er and Hong'er knew, of course, that their young mistress carried various poisons with her, and they also knew that they couldn't really help her here, and might even become a burden to her. They looked at the other side with some sympathy. The two of them still obediently got into the carriage.

On the other side, after the mother and daughter left, they ran desperately towards Kyoto. The little girl slowed down when she saw that no one was following behind.

When her mother saw that she was running slowly, she said, "Er Ya, don't stop, keep running."

Er Ya said, "Mother, I don't think they're chasing us. It's okay if we walk slowly."

Er Ya's mother: "No, we have to get to the capital quickly. That young lady is still dealing with the bully. I don't know how long she can hold out."

Upon hearing this, Er Ya knew that her mother was worried about the woman who had just saved them, and said, "Mother, they have guards, they'll be fine."

Er Ya's mother said, "No, they only have four guards, but that bully brought seven or eight people. I'm still worried. Alright, stop arguing and let's go. We can't be ungrateful."

As he spoke, he grabbed Er Ya and ran forward as fast as he could.

They weren't far from the capital to begin with, and they arrived at the city gate in about two incense sticks' time.

As soon as I entered the city gate, I saw a man riding a horse talking to someone at the gate.

Without thinking, Er Ya's mother ran to the man, disregarding her fear, and pulled Er Ya down to kneel down with a "plop," saying, "Sir, save us."

The soldiers guarding the city gate were startled when they saw the woman like this, and quickly stepped forward to help her up.

"How dare you! Do you know who you're stopping?"

Er Ya Niang was startled when she heard this, but thinking of Li Muxia's situation, she didn't care about anything else and said, "Sir, save me."

Sitting on the horse was Dongfang Jincheng, who was preparing to return from his business trip outside the city.

Seeing that the soldiers guarding the city were still trying to pull Er Ya and the other girl apart, Dongfang Jincheng said, "Let her finish what she has to say."

Looking at Dongfang Jincheng's cold expression, Er Ya's mother was a little scared, but she still honestly told him what had happened.

After hearing this, Dongfang Jincheng realized that the person was likely Li Muxia, because he had already learned from Qingyun yesterday that Li Muxia had gone out of the city to the manor today.

Hearing that Li Muxia was in danger, he turned his horse around and prepared to go find her.

Dongfang Jinlin saw through his intention and said, "Third brother, Father is waiting for us to return and report. This matter can be left to the government office."

Dongfang Jincheng knew that the Emperor was waiting, but it was clear now that he was more worried about Li Muxia.

"Second brother, you go with fourth brother first. I will go back later to apologize to Father."

After saying that, he rode away without waiting for Dongfang Jinlin's reply.

Dongfang Jinlin knew Dongfang Jincheng quite well. Seeing the anxiety on Dongfang Jincheng's face just now, which didn't seem fake, he felt that this matter must be complicated, making the usually calm and composed third brother so anxious.

Without a second thought, he turned his horse around and chased after Dongfang Jincheng.

Seeing that his second and third brothers had left, the Fourth Prince anxiously called out, "Second brother, where are you going?"

Dongfang Jinlin: "Fourth brother, you go and report to Father first. I'll go help the third brother."

Dongfang Jinxuan muttered under his breath, "A few bandits, is it really necessary for both princes to go?"

Dongfang Jincheng and Dongfang Jinlin soon saw the fighting crowd.

The battle was nearing its end. Seeing that his men had all been beaten to the ground, the man said angrily, "A bunch of trash."

Just then, the sound of horses' hooves came from Dongfang Jincheng and Dongfang Jinlin, and everyone looked towards the two of them.

Li Muxia also looked up at the person who had come, and her gaze met that of Dongfang Jincheng.

Dongfang Jincheng: She's fine.

Li Muxia: Why are they here?

Dongfang Jinlin: It's her.
