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

Dongfang Jincheng has arrived in Hailian Town, and Zhu Feng has received the intelligence from the Shadow Pavilion and is currently reporting to Dongfang Jincheng.

"Master, a man in black went to the Prince's mansion yesterday."

Dongfang Jincheng: "Have you found out who it is?"

Zhu Feng: "Shadow could tell that the person had profound internal strength, but fearing to alert him, he dared not approach."

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Jincheng fell into deep thought. He possessed profound internal strength and must be a martial arts practitioner. How could the Wang family be involved with martial arts figures?

Seeing Dongfang Jincheng deep in thought, Zhu Feng did not disturb him and stood quietly to the side.

Zhu Feng thought Dongfang Jincheng would think for a long time, but unexpectedly, as soon as he relaxed, he heard Dongfang Jincheng's voice.

Where is Mu Xia now?

Zhu Feng immediately perked up and replied, "Qingyun sent word that Miss Li went to the fish market early this morning."

After hearing this, Dongfang Jincheng stood up and walked outside while giving instructions.

"Have someone keep an eye on the three major families."

As Zhu Feng watched Dongfang Jincheng's foot about to cross the threshold, he suddenly remembered the last line of the message he had sent back.

"Brother Feng, I'm really overwhelmed by the task at hand. Please put in a good word for me with the sect leader and help me find a companion. I'm counting on you."

He quickly stopped Dongfang Jincheng and said, "Sect Master, there is one more thing."

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Jincheng withdrew his foot, turned to look at Zhu Feng, and asked, "What is it?"

Zhu Feng: "Um, Qingyun said he wants to add someone."

Dongfang Jincheng didn't react for a moment and asked, "What?"

After asking, he remembered and felt annoyed. It was indeed his oversight. He had assumed that Li Muxia, being a young lady from a sheltered family, wouldn't encounter any danger. In addition, the Shadow Pavilion was in need of manpower at the time, so he sent Qingyun instead.

Little did anyone know that Li Muxia was a restless person, and now she has offended some people, so things are probably not going to be peaceful in the future.

Thinking of this, Dongfang Jincheng said, "Let's see who in the pavilion has completed the mission and send another one to Mu Xia."

Zhu Feng breathed a sigh of relief. He had thought his master would disagree, since the new batch of Shadows had not yet been trained and the Pavilion was quite busy. However, he should be able to spare one person, and he could say that he had fulfilled his good brother's request.

He and Qingyun were among the first Shadows to follow Dongfang Jincheng. Needless to say, during the early days of the Shadow Pavilion's establishment, the path of the Shadow Pavilion was incredibly difficult. They had both faced life and death. Of the first batch of twenty Shadows, only he and Qingyun remain today.

He was already the highest-ranking member of the Shadow Pavilion besides the Pavilion Master and Deputy Pavilion Master. Logically, Qingyun shouldn't be much less capable than him, but this kid refused the Pavilion Master's arrangement and insisted on becoming a lowly Shadow. However, he was also the Shadow most trusted by the Pavilion Master, otherwise, he wouldn't have been assigned to Li Muxia's side.

He had once asked Qingyun, who simply replied lazily, "Does Brother Feng think I'm an official?"

He added in his mind: It doesn't seem like it.

Dongfang Jincheng did not disguise himself this time. Firstly, no one in this small town would recognize him, and secondly, he wanted to test the attitude of the three major families after they saw him arrive.

Therefore, at this moment, Dongfang Jincheng was walking on the streets of Hailian Town, accompanied only by his personal bodyguard, Yuze.

Qingyun, who was hiding in the shadows, recognized Dongfang Jincheng at a glance and began to worry about his master again.

Why is Prince Rui everywhere? Pavilion Master, come quickly! If you don't come soon, your wife will be kidnapped!

Li Muxia, who had just come out of the fish market, ran into Dongfang Jincheng, who was about to enter the fish market.

The two looked at each other, one with a puzzled and surprised expression, the other calm and composed, a smile playing on his lips.

Dongfang Jincheng cupped his hands and said, "Brother Xia, what a coincidence!"

Seeing that Dongfang Jincheng hadn't exposed her identity, Li Muxia wondered to herself how she should address Dongfang Jincheng.

Seeing that their young mistress did not make a move, Cui'er and Hong'er were also at a loss as to what to do.

Fortunately, Dongfang Jincheng noticed Li Muxia's predicament and said, "What's wrong? Are you too surprised to see me? You don't even know how to greet Brother Feng anymore."

After hearing this, is there anything you don't understand?

Li Muxia smiled to herself, thinking, "Yes, I didn't expect to run into Brother Feng here."

Xie Xinsheng, who had just seen Li Muxia out, realized that the person who had come was Li Muxia's friend. He assumed that Dongfang Jincheng had come to the store to buy seafood, so he greeted him with a smile, "This is Young Master Xia's friend. Please come in if you need anything."

Then, turning to the little fish behind him, he said, "Take good care of Young Master Feng."

He didn't have time to greet this person; he still had to see Li Muxia out.

Dongfang Jincheng waved his hand and said, "No need, I came here specifically to see Brother Xia."

Although Li Muxia had doubts, she didn't want to offend Prince Rui in front of outsiders, so she smiled and said, "No need to see me off, Manager Xie. Brother Feng and I have other matters to attend to, so we'll take our leave now. If you need anything later, you can find me at Yuelai Inn."

The two walked down the street without saying a word, creating an awkward atmosphere.

Li Muxia thought about saying something to break the deadlock.

"Prince Rui..."

"Miss Li..."

The two spoke at the same time, realizing that the other was about to speak.

"You speak first."

The two looked at each other, and Li Muxia was suddenly amused by their damned tacit understanding.

"Why has Your Highness suddenly come to Hailian Town?"

Dongfang Jincheng looked at Li Muxia's smiling face and was momentarily captivated. When he heard Li Muxia's question, he replied, "Yes, I have some official business to attend to, concerning the three major families."

Li Muxia was surprised that Dongfang Jincheng did not hide anything from her and directly stated the purpose of her visit.

He wondered to himself: Does this mean that official business no longer needs to be kept secret?

Dongfang Jincheng, unaware of Li Muxia's thoughts, continued, "You've been here for a few days now. How much do you know about the three major families?"

He didn't ask the question expecting to get any useful information from Li Muxia. The Shadow Pavilion had already given him the information about the three major families. He just wanted to find a topic to talk about and spend more time with her.

Li Muxia didn't have many thoughts on this. With the mindset of a good citizen, she told him everything she had learned in the past few days.

Dongfang Jincheng basically knew all the information Li Muxia mentioned, including the fact that when Li Muxia said Wang Zuchong had a hidden illness, it was something that Shadow had not discovered.

This might be a starting point.

However, immediately afterward, he heard Li Muxia say that she had a way to cure Wang Zuchong and that she had made a deal with Wang Zuchong. Li Muxia automatically omitted the part about using the Shadow Pavilion.

Dongfang Jincheng already had a general plan in mind, but he still needed Li Muxia's help. However, he didn't want to drag her into this matter.

Just as Dongfang Jincheng was struggling with his decision, he heard a commotion at the door.
