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

The man didn't recognize the newcomers, but judging from their aura, he knew they were no ordinary people. He hoped they were just passing by.

Clearly, his hopes were dashed.

The two rode up to Li Muxia and dismounted.

Li Muxia and her men bowed to the newcomers.

Dongfang Jincheng looked at Li Muxia and asked, "Are you injured?"

Li Muxia: "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I am fine."

When the man heard that the person who came was actually a prince, and that he seemed to have a good relationship with Li Muxia, he panicked a little. However, thinking of the person in the palace, he quickly calmed down.

He stepped forward with a fawning smile and said, "This humble subject greets Your Highness Prince Chen and Your Highness Prince Rui."

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Jinlin asked, "Who are you, and why are you fighting with the guards of the General's Mansion?"

The man was a little worried when he heard that Li Muxia was from the General's Mansion, but he quickly replied with a smile, "Your Highness Prince Chen, I am Huang Duoduo, the head of a nearby manor."

Seeing that the two princes had no expression on their faces, he continued, "Your Highnesses may not have heard of me, but I have heard my uncle talk about your great achievements many times. I have great respect for you both."

Dongfang Jinlin: "Your uncle?"

Hearing Dongfang Jinlin's words, Huang Duoduo felt smug, thinking, "Oh, right, I forgot to mention, my uncle is a Grand Secretary of the current dynasty."

Dongfang Jincheng and Dongfang Jinlin had already guessed what was going on when he introduced himself, so they weren't surprised to hear it now.

Dongfang Jincheng: "We have no interest in your identity. Tell us why you had a conflict with the young lady of the General's Mansion."

Huang Duoduo said with a smile, "It's a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding. I didn't know this young lady was from the General's Mansion. I was just joking with her."

Li Muxia frowned upon hearing this, sneering inwardly. This person was probably trying to use the power behind him to gloss over his crimes.

How could she let him get away with it so easily?

“A joke is only a joke if everyone finds it funny. Look, did we laugh? If abducting women and committing violence in the street can be called a joke, then the prisons in the Eastern Kingdom would probably be empty.”

In other words, you can't cover up your crimes with jokes.

Cui'er and Hong'er also got off the carriage and were standing behind Li Muxia. Hearing Li Muxia's words, Cui'er said, "That's right, Your Highness, this man is a scoundrel. If it weren't for my young lady, who knows what that mother and daughter would have gone through."

As she spoke, Cui'er recounted how they had just rescued a mother and daughter.

Hong'er chimed in after hearing Cui'er's words, "That's right, that's right, people like this should be severely punished."

Li Muxia was not worried that the two princes would abuse their power for personal gain or protect each other.

Huang Duoduo was furious when she heard Li Muxia's two maids speak to her like that: "Who do you two think you are? How dare you interrupt your master? Miss Li really should discipline her servants."

Li Muxia was amused by Huang Duoduo's words. How dare he talk about others like that? She retorted sarcastically, "Someone like you dares to teach me how to manage servants? How could you say that? You even dare to mention the Grand Secretary. If the Grand Secretary knew what you've done, he wouldn't even need the two princes to lift a finger; he would be the first to send you to jail. People like you are nothing but parasites on humanity, wasting air when alive and wasting land when dead."

"You...you...you..." Huang Duoduo was so angry that she kept saying "you" without getting a straight answer.

Li Muxia didn't give him a chance to speak and continued, "You, you, what do you mean 'you'? Fortunately, His Majesty is wise. As a country of etiquette, the Eastern Kingdom will never allow someone like you to disgrace the family. You, who escaped the net, will not escape the law today. With two princes here, let's see how you can still do evil."

After saying that, he looked at Dongfang Jincheng and Dongfang Jinlin and said, "Your Highness, we absolutely cannot let this rotten apple spoil the reputation of our Dongfang Kingdom."

Dongfang Jinlin never expected Li Muxia to be so eloquent, articulate, and logical, making every point so compelling that it was impossible to refute her.

Dongfang Jincheng said, "In that case, let's leave it to the Jingzhao Prefecture to handle."

Realizing that he hadn't brought anyone with him this time, he instructed Li Muxia's four guards, saying, "Please tie him up and take him to the government office."

The four men were all excited. Being able to work for the God of War was something they could brag about to their brothers for a while.

Compared to the excitement of the four, Huang Duoduo and the others looked pale. However, although Huang Duoduo was a little irritable, he was not afraid. He was the cousin of the current Consort De. Even if he was sent to the Jingzhao Prefecture today, he would only stay there for a day or two. He believed that he would be out soon.

So when the four men came to tie them up, he said to his underlings, "Don't resist, cooperate with the four brothers."

They were very cooperative throughout the journey, keeping quiet and obediently following behind Li Muxia's carriage.

When they arrived at the city gate, it was already closed. However, the guards obediently opened the gate and let them in when they saw Prince Chen and Prince Rui.

Dongfang Jincheng and Dongfang Jinlin escorted Li Muxia all the way to her doorstep. Only after seeing Li Muxia enter the mansion did Dongfang Jincheng and Dongfang Jinlin prepare to go to the palace to report back.

Huang Duoduo had already been taken to the Jingzhao Prefecture by four guards. Lying on the bed in his cell, Huang Duoduo felt no fear whatsoever. He believed that this time, he would be released after a day or two in prison, just like before.

Unfortunately, he was wrong this time. Although Dongfang Jincheng handed the matter over to the Jingzhao Prefecture, he himself did not ignore it.

Inside the Imperial Study, Dongfang Jincheng and Dongfang Jinlin reported the matter to the Emperor in detail.

The Emperor initially didn't take it seriously, because too many people in the capital relied on their connections in the court to bully others. Such behavior was rampant and, as long as no major incidents occurred, the Emperor turned a blind eye. Those caught were punished, but those not caught continued to roam free.

Upon hearing Dongfang Jincheng mention this matter today, the Emperor said, "Since it has been handed over to the Jingzhao Prefecture, let them handle it according to the law."

Dongfang Jincheng knew that if no one put pressure on him, the matter would likely be dropped, and Huang Duoduo would continue to act recklessly by relying on the power of Consort De and the Grand Secretary.

Thinking of this, Dongfang Jincheng said, "Father, I think this is no small matter."
