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

Chapter 23 Overpowering Feng Jingxin

By this time, the players had already taken to the field, and many spectators in the stands had gathered near the fence, craning their necks to look at the field. Li Muxia and his friends also stood in front of the fence, and Feng Jingxin came to stand next to Li Muxia.

At this moment, two elderly men and several young men came up to the platform. Shangguan Wenya introduced them to Li Muxia and Li Anran, saying, "Anran, Muxia, look! On the platform, that man in white is Lord Jun. Isn't he handsome?"

Because Li Muxia and his group were positioned very close to the stage, they could see the people on the stage clearly. And yes, they were indeed quite handsome. They were probably the ethereal, otherworldly figures described in novels.

Upon hearing this, Feng Jingxin chimed in, "An Ran hasn't participated in events like this in a long time, so she probably doesn't recognize many people from Kyoto anymore."

Then, without consulting her, she began to introduce them: "The one sitting on the left in dark red is Prince Duan, and the one in black is Prince Chen." When she mentioned Prince Chen, she gave Li Muxia a feigned sad look, and seeing that Li Muxia didn't react, she awkwardly turned back and continued, "The one in the middle is Dean Qi, the one on the right in navy blue is Prince Rui, and the row behind them are the vice-deans and tutors of the Imperial Academy." Next to Prince Rui was Jun Mochen, whom Shangguan Wenya had already mentioned, so she didn't introduce him again. After speaking, she looked at Li Muxia and the others.

After listening to Feng Jingxin's introduction, Li Muxia noticed the gloating expression on her face and politely said "thank you." Li Anran didn't show any expression, while Shangguan Wenya looked at Feng Jingxin and snorted coldly.

No matter how much Feng Jingxin endured, he wouldn't leave in anger. Standing next to Li Muxia would only make him look better. He wanted to seize this opportunity to attract the attention of the person he liked.

Li Muxia glanced at the people on the platform. Apart from Jun Mochen, the other three princes were really good-looking. As expected of the royal family, their genes were excellent. Especially the Prince Rui in the dark blue robe. Although his expression was cold, his appearance was exactly what women wanted. Her ex-fiancé was not bad either, just a little less so than Prince Rui.

After looking around one last time, I did see someone I recognized—the shopkeeper I'd met at the bookstore the other day.

The field was now ready, with players from both sides dressed in red and white. As the gong sounded, the first match of the day began.

As the competition began, the audience became lively, and the young ladies dropped their formalities and cheered happily.

Li Anran also saw Li Anjin and pointed to the field, saying to Li Muxia, "Sister, look, it's brother! Ah, brother scored!" Then she pulled Li Muxia and jumped up and down happily. Of course, Li Muxia's weight didn't match the jump, but she was happy too. It was her older brother's first goal, so of course she was happy.

The first match ended quickly, with Li Anjin's team, playing white, narrowly winning by one point. After a short rest, the second match began.

In the second match, both sides were evenly matched. With only one incense stick's time left, the white team was temporarily leading by one goal. Just then, the fourth prince kicked the ball into the stands. The ball flew straight towards Li Muxia and her team. Li Muxia saw it; the ball was heading straight for her. Since she had the largest area there, the probability of the ball hitting her was 100%.

Li Muxia could still evade the situation. A cunning thought flashed through her mind: Hey, the opportunity has come. I'm not afraid of not having a chance to get revenge on Feng Jingxin before I leave.

Thinking of this, Li Muxia turned around and rushed towards Feng Jingxin beside her, calling out, "Jingxin, be careful!"

At this moment, Feng Jingxin's attention was focused on the handsome man on the stage. When she turned around after hearing Li Muxia's voice, she saw Li Muxia's enlarged fat face. Before she could even shout, Li Muxia pressed her down.

A figure in dark blue flashed past from the podium, instantly appearing in front of where Li Muxia had been standing, and steadily caught the ball flying towards the stands. Turning his head, he frowned at Li Muxia, who was still on the ground, before walking towards the referee and handing the ball to him.

By this time, the surrounding people had gathered around. Li Anran and Shangguan Wenya quickly went to Li Muxia's side and struggled to help her up. Everyone then saw Feng Jingxin lying on the ground and gasped in shock. Could she have been crushed to death?

Crushing her to death? Impossible. Li Muxia is a doctor, she knows the human body better than anyone. Of course she can control herself and make Feng Jingxin suffer a little without hurting her.

At this moment, Li Anjin and the people on the stage also came to Li Muxia's side. Faced with the sudden situation, the dean did not know how to solve it for a while.

The one playing football was the Fourth Prince, the one pressing down was the eldest daughter of the General's Mansion, and the one being pressed down was the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion. He dared not offend either of them. He quickly ordered someone to fetch a doctor.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Li Muxia began her performance. She dramatically broke free from Li Anran and Shangguan Wenya, who were supporting her, pushed aside Feng Jingxin's maid, and rushed to the unconscious Feng Jingxin, crying out, "Jingxin, it's all my fault! I was in a hurry. When I saw the football flying towards you, I was afraid you would be hit, so I tackled you. I didn't expect this to happen. Please wake up!" As she spoke, she punched Feng Jingxin's chest a few times with her small fists.

While everyone was worried that Li Muxia might accidentally kill Feng Jingxin instead of crushing her, Feng Jingxin woke up. She coughed painfully and struggled to open her eyes, feeling pain all over her body, especially in her back and chest, as if someone had smashed a boulder on her chest.

When Li Muxia saw that Feng Jingxin had woken up, she quickly said happily, "Jingxin, you're awake! That's wonderful!" After saying that, she rushed to Feng Jingxin and hugged her.

This caused Feng Jingxin to gasp in pain again. At this moment, the imperial physician arrived, and Li Muxia obediently got up to give him her seat.

But her performance wasn't over yet. He continued to wipe away his tears with his hand roll and said in a choked voice, "Jingxin, it's so good that you woke up. I was afraid that I had done something wrong with my good intentions. I'm so glad you're alright, otherwise I would have been very sad."

Everyone: You might as well not save him.

Feng Jingxin really wanted to curse at this moment, but seeing the princes surrounding her, she still acted very sensibly and said, "Mu Xia, thank you for thinking of saving me when I was in danger." Her voice was weak, and she seemed about to pass out.

Li Muxia continued acting, saying with a wronged expression, "Aren't you angry with me?"

Before Feng Jingxin could speak, a man squeezed through the crowd. It was Feng Jingxin's older brother, Feng Xiao. He hadn't participated in this year's Cuju competition. He had gone to the outhouse in the middle of the competition, and when he came back, he heard from his classmates that his sister had gotten into trouble. When he saw his sister's disheveled appearance, and several princes were also there, he immediately asked with heartache, "Xin'er, what happened? Who did this to you?"
