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

Li Anran wanted to ride in a carriage with Li Muxia, so Shangguan Wanyun now has a carriage all by herself. Li Anjin originally wanted to ride a horse, but he stayed up too late discussing academic matters with his classmates last night and barely slept, so he gave up riding a horse today and took a nap in the carriage.

The old general had already gotten off the carriage and was now talking with General Li and Su Chengyun, the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.

Li Muxia and Li Anran kept looking ahead and saw Su Lanzhi in the crowd craning her neck to look at them.

When their eyes met, he cautiously waved and greeted them.

Li Muxia and Li Anran naturally saw it too. Li Anran waved excitedly and said, "Sister, it's Lan Zhi. I never thought I'd run into her here."

Li Muxia smiled and nodded, her gaze never leaving the crowd in front of her, until she saw Su Chengyun's lips move.

Li Anran asked, "What exactly happened up ahead? What are they saying?"

Li Muxia: "I don't know, but you'll find out soon enough."

As he spoke, he gestured forward with his chin.

Following Li Muxia's gaze, Li Anran saw General Li walking towards them.

Li Anran: "Dad?"

General Li: "Mu Xia, Ran'er, the Su family's carriage is broken down. There's not enough room in their carriage now. Grandpa asked me to ask you if the two young ladies from the Su family could ride in your carriage."

Li Anran and Li Muxia exchanged a glance and said in unison, "Of course."

Li Anran then said, "Is it Lanzhi? Let Lanzhi come to our carriage."

General Li: "Alright, you agree, I'll go and reply to Lord Su."

Before long, the two saw Su Lanzhi and another young lady walking towards them.

Li Anran lowered the carriage curtain and skipped off the carriage.

Li Muxia also got off the carriage.

Seeing the two people get off the carriage, Su Lanzhi quickened her pace and came to their side, saying happily, "Sister Xia, Ran'er, that's great! I can ride in the same carriage with you now."

Li Muxia smiled and nodded, while Li Anran said happily, "I thought you had set off yesterday."

Su Lanzhi: "We were originally scheduled to leave yesterday, but my father had something come up and we postponed it by a day."

After saying that, he looked at the woman who followed behind him and introduced her: "Sister Xia, Ran'er, this is my third sister, Su Jinyun."

Upon hearing Su Lanzhi's introduction, Su Jinyun nodded slightly and said, "Jinyun greets both young ladies. Thank you for allowing my fourth sister and me to ride in the carriage."

Li Anran said without any restraint, "Sister Jinyun, you don't need to be so polite. We are Lanzhi's good friends, so of course we won't ignore her."

Seeing that everyone in front had already boarded the carriage, Li Muxia said, "Alright, let's go to the carriage first and talk about it."

Once inside the carriage, Su Lanzhi naturally sat down next to Li Anran, while Su Jinyun sat somewhat awkwardly next to Li Muxia.

Seeing Su Lanzhi and Li Anran chatting happily, she really wanted to join in, but she didn't know what to say.

Li Muxia noticed her restraint and took out the pastries she had made over the past few days.

When Li Anran saw what Li Muxia took out, she was so happy that she reached out to take it. Li Muxia slapped her hand away and said, "You've already eaten a lot. You can't eat any more of this. This is for Lanzhi and Miss Su."

Li Anran said with a hint of grievance, "Sister, the desserts you make are so delicious, how can I resist eating them?"

Lan Zhi looked at the pastries that were served and said, "Sister Xia, is this the cream cake you mentioned a few days ago?"

Before Li Muxia could answer, Li Anran said, "That's right, Lanzhi, you don't know, my sister put a lot of effort into making this cream, using several buckets of milk."

As she spoke, she took the package and handed it to Su Lanzhi, then took another piece and handed it to Su Jinyun. Finally, when Li Muxia wasn't paying attention, she secretly took a piece and put it in her mouth.

Li Muxia looked at Li Anran and shook her head helplessly.

Seeing Su Jinyu's somewhat reserved expression while holding the cake, he said, "Miss Su, please try it, it's delicious."

Su Jinyun then took small bites, and was immediately captivated by the cake's smooth texture. He finally understood why Xiao Si liked to spend time with the Li Muxia sisters.

While eating cake and watching Li Anran and Su Lanzhi chat happily, Su Jinyun gradually relaxed and occasionally chimed in with a comment.

Like Su Lanzhi, Su Jinyun was born out of wedlock. Unlike Su Lanzhi, Su Jinyun's mother was still alive, and her mother was quite tactful and well-liked by the Madam and Lord Su. Therefore, Su Jinyun lived a relatively good life in the household. Although she wasn't as glamorous as the legitimate daughters, she was much better off than Su Lanzhi. At least she wasn't bullied by the legitimate sons and daughters of the family.

Su Jinyun has learned the essence of her mother's wisdom and is doing quite well among her siblings. When she saw her sisters bullying Su Lanzhi, she would say a few nice words to persuade the legitimate daughters to let Su Lanzhi go.

Therefore, Su Lanzhi still trusts Su Jinyun and is quite grateful for Su Jinyun's help over the years.

When Su Lanzhi became friends with Li Anran, her father's attitude towards Su Lanzhi changed completely. In fact, he had told Su Lanzhi to bring her along to befriend Li Anran. However, at that time, Su Lanzhi was not sure if Li Anran was willing to befriend her, so she did not dare to bring Su Jinyun to her appointment with Li Anran.

Today, when Su Jinyun heard that Li Muxia and her family were willing to let their young mistresses ride with them, she volunteered to come along. This was also her first time interacting with Li Muxia and Li Anran, and to be honest, she was quite envious of the way the Li Anran and Li Muxia sisters got along.

Seeing the two sisters chatting and laughing with Su Lanzhi, she even felt a little jealous of Su Lanzhi.

Therefore, along the way, she tried her best to join the conversations of the three of them, striving to make her presence known and attract the attention of Li Muxia and Li Anran.

Li Muxia didn't see through Su Jinyun's thoughts. After spending time together, she also felt that Su Jinyun was indeed a rather talkative person.

When the carriage reached the foot of the mountain, they could no longer ride in the carriage and had to climb the mountain on foot. Fortunately, steps had been built on the mountain path to Huguo Temple, so the climb was not too difficult for everyone.

Although the mountain is easy to climb, Huguo Temple is on the top of the mountain, while Li Muxia's ancestral graves are halfway up the mountain. Although Su's ancestral graves are not as high as Li's, they are not much different.
