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

In the private room of Fangzhuxuan, there were only Li Muxia, Cui'er, Hong'er, Wang Zuchong, and his trusted servant.

Wang Zuchong: "Now you can talk about it, right?"

Li Muxia looked at Wang Zuchong, but didn't rush to speak. Instead, she picked up the teacup on the table and slowly drank it.

After finishing a cup of tea, he said, "My request is actually very simple. To be honest, Young Master Wang, I came to Hailian Town mainly to do business, but I encountered some obstacles along the way. I hope Young Master Wang can help me out."

Upon hearing this, Wang Zuchong began to doubt Li Muxia's medical skills. He wondered if this man, a businessman, was truly capable of treating illnesses.

Seeing Wang Zuchong's suspicious look, Li Muxia instantly understood.

"Don't worry, doing business is just a side job for me. My real identity is a doctor."

Although Wang Zuchong still had some doubts, Li Muxia could tell him about his hidden illness just by looking at him without even consulting him. Moreover, he really couldn't find a doctor who could treat him. Now that he had finally found one, he had no choice but to try it as a last resort.

What kind of business do you want to start? How can I help you with anything?

Li Muxia: "I want to order seafood and have it shipped to Kyoto."

Upon hearing that it was about the seafood business, Wang Zuchong felt a little more relaxed. It was simple; his family was in that business. At the same time, he was also wondering what kind of help Li Muxia wanted him to provide.

He simply wanted to get a lower purchase price. Businessmen are all profit-driven, and he could manage that, provided she could actually cure his illness.

“Seafood business, that’s easy. Tell me, how do you want to do this business?” Clearly, Wang Zuchong mistakenly thought that Li Muxia wanted to talk business with him.

Seeing that Wang Zuchong's expression had softened slightly, Li Muxia continued, "I don't want to do business with the Wang family, nor with any of the three major families. I've already found a business partner."

Wang Zuchong frowned slightly upon hearing Li Muxia's words: "Which family?"

Li Muxia: "That's none of Young Master Wang's concern."

Wang Zuchong: "I see you still don't know the situation in Linhai Town. Who would dare to do business with you now?"

Li Muxia: "That's why I said I need Young Master Wang's help."

Wang Zuchong: "What do you mean?"

Li Muxia: "My request is very simple: I want Young Master Wang to ensure that the three major families will not suppress my business partners."

Wang Zuchong looked at Li Muxia, wondering what her true intentions were. If she simply wanted to do business, she could have used the opportunity of curing him to negotiate a good price with him. However, she did not, but instead asked him not to suppress her business partner.

At this moment, Wang Zuchong began to suspect that Li Muxia's true purpose was not to be a corporate spy, but to confront the three major families.

“Whatever price your business partner offers you, I can offer you an even lower price. Why don’t you do this business with me? Then you won’t have to worry about the three major families making things difficult for others.” Wang Zuchong wanted to test Li Muxia further.

Li Muxia had his reasons for not cooperating with the three major families. First, the three major families were too ruthless in their actions and their suppression of their peers was excessive. If such people had a powerful backer, they could hold out for a while, but if their backer was not strong enough, they would attract too much attention and eventually arouse public anger, which would easily lead to their downfall.

Li Muxia's business is for the long term, so she prefers to cooperate with trustworthy people.

Of course, he wouldn't tell Wang Zuchong any of this.

"I have my own reasons for not cooperating with the three major families. Young Master Wang, just tell me if you can do what I say."

Wang Zuchong: "If your order quantity is small, I can help you cover for it."

Li Muxia: "If you only need a small amount, then there's no need to trouble Young Master Wang for help."

After saying that, he picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.

Wang Zuchong was in a dilemma because he was no longer in charge of the Wang family, and they didn't have the final say in business matters. According to Li Muxia, it seemed that Li Muxia's orders were quite large, and it would be difficult for them not to be discovered.

Two years ago, this wouldn't have been a big deal. However, in the past two years, I don't know what's wrong with their patriarch and the heads of the other two families. They suddenly started accumulating wealth on a large scale, to the point that they've completely left no room for other competitors to survive.

He had asked his father before, but it was clear that his father didn't want to talk about it.

If those three old men find out about Li Muxia's big order, they definitely won't let it go.

He really wasn't confident he could stand up to three old men.

"I can't guarantee I can help you with this."

Li Muxia: "It seems that Young Master Wang still doesn't want to treat his hidden ailment."

Wang Zuchong finally realized that this was his territory, and he had been led by the nose by Li Muxia.

"Hmph, do you think you can refuse this?"

Seeing Wang Zuchong's appearance, Li Muxia knew he was definitely going to force him.

Li Muxia wasn't in a hurry and slowly took out a token from her pocket.

"I don't know if I still have the right to refuse now."

When Wang Zuchong clearly saw the token, alarm bells rang in his mind. He didn't know this token was unique to the Shadow Pavilion Master, nor had he ever seen a Shadow Pavilion token before. However, the three large characters "Shadow Pavilion" on the token were enough for him to confirm that it was indeed the Shadow Pavilion's token. Because no one dared to counterfeit the Shadow Pavilion's token, nor would anyone dare to steal it.

"You are a member of the Shadow Pavilion." This is both a question and a statement.

"Since you are a member of the Shadow Pavilion, why do you still need my help?" Wang Zuchong asked, voicing his doubts.

Li Muxia only wanted to use the power of the Shadow Pavilion, but did not want to involve the Shadow Pavilion too deeply. She said, "I am not a member of the Shadow Pavilion, but I have some connections with the Pavilion Master of the Shadow Pavilion."

Listen to what they're saying, talking about having a relationship with the leader of the Shadow Pavilion.

That's the Shadow Pavilion! Does the Shadow Pavilion's leader just casually make friends with anyone?

They even gave the coveted token to someone outside the Shadow Pavilion's guards. Could this be just an ordinary relationship?

Seeing that Wang Zuchong looked dejected, Li Muxia continued, "I'm the kind of person who won't easily rely on others' influence if I can handle things myself. So, I still hope to cooperate with Young Master Wang."

"Moreover, I can guarantee that, apart from me, it would be very difficult to find a second doctor in this world who is capable of treating your hidden ailment."

This statement was undoubtedly a reminder to Wang Zuchong that cooperating with her was the best option.

Wang Zuchong was well aware of this. If he didn't cure his illness now, and the old man discovered the truth later, he would truly lose all hope of inheriting the Wang family business.

As if he had made up his mind, Wang Zuchong said, "Okay, I can help you, but you have to promise that you can cure my illness."

Li Muxia: "Deal."
