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

That night, Li Muxia lay in bed, constantly thinking about how to resolve the seafood ordering issue, unable to fall asleep at all.

She didn't know how powerful the three families were, and if she acted rashly, she might end up getting herself killed instead of accomplishing her goal.

Li Muxia spent the entire night going through all the examples of anti-gang campaigns and TV dramas she had seen in her previous life, but she still couldn't come up with a solution.

Early in the morning, Li Muxia came out with dark circles under her eyes. Cui'er and Hong'er were both startled when they saw Li Muxia's appearance.

Hong'er: "Miss, what's wrong?"

Cui'er: "Miss, are you alright?"

Li Muxia waved her hand weakly and said, "It's nothing, it's nothing, just insomnia."

Cui'er placed the wash water on the washbasin stand, and Li Muxia washed her face while still thinking about how to deal with the seafood.

Hong'er held a clean towel in her hand, looked at Li Muxia with heartache, and said, "It's all the fault of those three major families. Merchants are indeed the most cunning."

As if realizing something, she glanced cautiously at Li Muxia, inwardly regretting her own stupidity. How could she forget that her young lady was also in business? Wasn't she insulting her young lady as well?

Li Muxia's heart skipped a beat when she heard Hong'er's words.

The businesswoman, right, she said she had been thinking about it for so long but couldn't come up with a solution. It turns out she was thinking in the wrong direction. A businesswoman should use a businessman's methods to overcome difficulties.

When Hong'er saw that Li Muxia stopped what she was doing after hearing her words, she thought that she had displeased Li Muxia, so she quickly apologized and said, "Miss, I didn't mean to you. You are the best businesswoman."

Li Muxia looked up at Hong'er, her eyes shining, showing no trace of fatigue. She hugged Hong'er's head and gave her a quick kiss on the cheek: "Hong'er, you are truly my good Hong'er."

He then went to the table, quickly ate a couple of bites of food, and prepared to write down his plan.

Hong'er and Cui'er both stared blankly at Li Muxia. Cui'er was the first to react. She came to Li Muxia's side and asked, looking at Li Muxia who was wolfing down her food, "Miss, have you thought of a way?"

Li Muxia: "Yes, I've thought of something. It's a truly unique and brilliant idea."

After saying that, she gave the two of them a mysterious smile.

After finishing their meal, Li Muxia said to the two girls, "We might have to stay here for a while this time."

After saying that, he left with his two maids.

Cui'er looked at Li Muxia, who was sitting in the teahouse drinking tea, and asked, "Miss, we've been here for half a day now. What are your plans?"

Hong'er looked at Li Muxia with a puzzled expression: "Yes, Miss, my stomach is full of water right now."

Li Muxia tapped each of them on the head with her fan: "How many times have I told you to call me 'Big Brother'?"

Seeing the two girls clutching the spots where they had just been hit, he said, "Big brother, let me test you two. What have you figured out this morning?"

The two girls exchanged a glance, looked at Li Muxia with some confusion, and shook their heads in unison.

Cui'er: "Little brother, what can you tell from this? Isn't this just a place to drink tea?"

Hong'er nodded in agreement.

Li Muxia smiled at the two of them and said, "There's a lot to learn here."

After saying that, he pointed with his fan to a table not far away and said, "See that? The people at that table are obviously a bunch of self-righteous scholars."

Did you hear what they were saying just now?

Cui'er and Hong'er both shook their heads; they didn't have the time to care about such things.

Cui'er: "Big brother, what are they talking about?"

Li Muxia: "The eldest son of the Wang family, one of the three major families."

Cui'er and Hong'er exchanged a glance: "And then?"

Li Muxia: "This second young master of the Wang family is no good person. According to them, he loves eating, drinking, gambling and whoring. Moreover, they just said that the eldest young master of the Wang family lost tens of thousands of taels of silver at the gambling den yesterday. This angered the patriarch of the Wang family, who ordered that no more money be given to the eldest young master and made him work as a helper in the family shop for only fifty coins a month."

Cui'er and Hong'er remained silent, their eyes still filled with confusion, as if to say, "So what?"

Knowing that the two still didn't understand, Li Muxia said, "So, all the gossip we listened to this morning wasn't for nothing. Let's go and meet this young master Wang."

Young Master Wang's whereabouts are easy to find out, but this place is something that Cui'er and Hong'er are reluctant to go to, and they also don't want Li Muxia to go there.

When the three of them stood at the entrance of Yihonglou.

Cui'er: "Big brother, why don't we wait for him to come out at the door?"

Hong'er: "Yes, if the old master finds out that we sent you to a place like this, he will kick us out of the manor."

Li Muxia: "What are you afraid of? I'll take care of anything that happens."

After saying that, he took the lead and walked towards the Yihong Building.

Seeing this, Cui'er and Hong'er had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow.

Yihonglou is the largest brothel in Hailian Town. Although it is only afternoon, there are already quite a few customers inside.

When the girls saw Li Muxia enter, their eyes lit up, and they all surrounded Li Muxia and his two companions. Cui'er and Hong'er were so frightened that they each grabbed one of Li Muxia's arms.

Seeing this, Li Muxia whispered, "Both of you stand still, and neither of you is allowed to give anything away."

Upon hearing this, Cui'er and Hong'er followed Li Muxia's example. The three of them, who had been presenting themselves as brothers, were now acting like three young masters.

It was still early, and there weren't many guests yet. Li Muxia and her two companions were quickly surrounded by five or six girls.

"Oh, you three gentlemen are quite handsome. Is this your first time visiting a brothel?"

Clearly, the women had seen through Li Muxia and her two companions' behavior.

Li Muxia didn't hide anything and said, "It is indeed my first time. I wanted to bring my two younger brothers to broaden their horizons."

Although this wasn't Li Muxia's first time here, it was similar to her first time. After all, last time she was accompanied by a prince, and the whole time she stayed in a private room without any girls approaching. She was just there to watch the excitement.

The madam noticed Li Muxia's situation and rushed over, only to hear the girls around her chattering excitedly about the arrival of a customer.

Girl A: "Young master, let me serve you."

Girl B: "Young master, I can play the zither and sing a few songs. Please choose me."

Girl C: "Young master, I can dance and play chess with you. Choose me."

Hearing this, the madam pushed through the crowd: "You little hussies, you have no manners at all."

After saying that, she looked at Li Muxia with a forced smile. This made the madam stunned. This young master was really handsome. She had been running the shop for so long and this was the first time she had seen such a good-looking young master. It was just that he didn't look very old. Otherwise, she would have wanted to serve him herself.

"Gentlemen, please come inside."
