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

Dongfang Jincheng tried hard to suppress his urge to kill someone. Although he couldn't kill someone, he also couldn't let Bai Shu keep holding Li Muxia's hand.

Dongfang Jincheng raised his hand and slapped Bai Shu's hand with such force that Bai Shu's fair hand immediately became red and swollen.

The pain made Bai Zhu instantly pull her hand back, glaring angrily at the culprit: "What are you doing?"

When the others saw Dongfang Jincheng attack Bai Shu, they all became wary.

Dongfang Jincheng said coldly, "Men and women are different."

Bai Shu was taken aback when he heard this, and then he remembered that his old man seemed to have said that his last disciple was a little girl.

Li Muxia's men's clothing made him forget this for a moment.

Knowing he was in the wrong, Bai Shu didn't pursue the matter of Dongfang Jincheng hitting him anymore. However, he was still somewhat unhappy and asked in an unfriendly tone, "Who are you, sir?"

Seeing this, Li Muxia quickly smoothed things over, saying, "Senior brother, this is His Highness Prince Rui."

Upon hearing the name of Prince Rui, Bai Shu immediately thought of Prince Rui's title of God of War, and was momentarily speechless, realizing that he couldn't afford to offend him.

His tone softened somewhat: "So you are the renowned Prince Rui. May I ask what brings you to my Jishi Manor?"

Dongfang Jincheng: "Coming to Jishi Mountain Villa is naturally for medical treatment."

Bai Zhu blurted out: "Then why don't you queue up?"

Then I thought about it, and realized that he was Prince Rui, so who would dare to make him wait in line, especially since he came with his junior sister.

He swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth and instead said, "Since you've come seeking medical help, then come with me."

After saying that, he stopped holding Li Muxia's hand, but still walked beside her, his attitude towards her could be described as ingratiating.

How could he not try to please him? He had heard a lot about Li Muxia from the old man. At such a young age, he was hailed as a medical immortal by the people, and his skills were far beyond his reach.

If I get on good terms with her now, maybe she'll teach me more in the future because of my performance today.

Throughout the journey, Dongfang Jincheng's complexion remained poor.

Bai Shu was like a chatterbox, talking and laughing with Li Muxia the whole way, and the two of them were standing so close together.

Bai Qingshi's residence was located at the very back of Jishi Manor. Jishi Manor was very large, and it took them about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn to reach Bai Qingshi's residence.

As soon as I entered, I heard a clanging sound.

Upon hearing the voice, Bai Shu's expression changed drastically. He glanced at Li Muxia and said, "Junior Sister, wait here for a moment. I'll be right back."

Li Muxia quickly stopped Bai Shu and said, "Senior brother, what happened? I'll go with you."

Bai Shu looked at Li Muxia and sighed, saying helplessly, "Fine, you'll find out sooner or later anyway. Let's go."

With that, he took the lead and walked forward, with Li Muxia quickly following. Dongfang Jincheng also followed closely behind.

Bai Qingshi was studying a prescription with Shangguan Jingye in the pharmacy when he heard the commotion and quickly ran out, just in time to run into Li Muxia and the others.

Bai Qingshi and Shangguan Jingye recognized the person and exclaimed in surprise, "Mu Xia!"

Li Muxia responded with a look of surprise: "Master, Senior Brother."

But now was not the time for them to reminisce. Bai Shu urged, "Father, Second Senior Brother, something's happened to my little sister. Let's go check on her quickly."

Only then did Li Muxia realize that Bai Shu was Bai Qingshi's son.

The younger sister Bai Shu mentioned should be Bai Mujin, who fell off the cliff earlier, and is also her senior sister.

Bai Qingshi sighed and glanced at the people behind him. He hadn't expected Prince Rui to come as well. Naturally, he couldn't let an outsider know about what was going on in his family.

He cupped his hands to Prince Rui and said, "Your Highness Prince Rui has come from afar. I have failed to entertain you properly. I have matters to attend to at home. Please come to the main hall to wait for me."

Dongfang Jincheng naturally knew that it was indeed inappropriate for him to go to the women's residence, so he nodded.

Seeing this, Bai Qingshi instructed one of the medicine boys, "Guangbai, take Prince Rui to the main hall to wait."

Dongfang Jincheng glanced at Li Muxia and then followed the medicine boy to the main hall. After Dongfang Jincheng left, the group began to walk towards Bai Mujin's residence.

Bai Qingshi's residence wasn't large; it resembled an ordinary farmhouse courtyard, somewhat like a traditional Chinese courtyard house. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to hear the sounds coming from Bai Mujin's room right outside the door.

The group arrived at Bai Mujin's room. The door was not closed, and they saw a wooden shelf lying on the ground with broken porcelain pieces scattered all over the floor.

Bai Mujin sat in her wheelchair, looking dejectedly at the mess on the ground, while a maid was cleaning up.

The light at the doorway was blocked. Bai Mujin looked up at the doorway, saw Bai Qingshi and the others, awkwardly turned her head away, and pushed her wheelchair into the inner room.

When the maid saw Bai Qingshi, she bowed slightly in greeting, and then continued tidying up.

Bai Qingshi did not stop Bai Mujin from leaving, but Bai Shu said somewhat angrily, "Bai Mujin, what are you doing? Father and Senior Brother went to so much trouble to save you from the brink of death, and you haven't given anyone a kind look since you woke up. What are you trying to do now?"

The maid and Bai Qingshi spoke at the same time.

Bai Qingshi: "Shu'er, shut up!"

The maidservant said, "Second Young Master, that's not how it is. You've misunderstood Miss."

Bai Mujin's departing figure trembled slightly. Without turning back, she said in a somewhat cold tone, "Knowing that my legs would never be able to support me, why did you still save me? Rather than living like a useless piece of trash, I'd rather die."

After saying that, he left without lingering and headed straight for the inner room.

Bai Shu: "You..." In the end, she didn't say anything unpleasant.

Bai Qingshi sighed softly and asked, "Chang Chun, what happened?"

Changchun was the maid who served Bai Mujin. Before Bai Mujin fell off the cliff, she was always alone and had no maids to serve her. Not only Bai Mujin, but no one in Jishi Manor had maids or servants to serve them. Even the most famous doctors only had one or two medicine boys by their side. Changchun was only found by Bai Qingshi after Bai Mujin fell off the cliff so that it would be more convenient for him to take care of her.

Upon hearing Bai Qingshi's question, Chang Chun recounted the entire story.

It turned out that Bai Mujin wanted to get something from the shelf. Chang Chun was doing something else at the time, and Bai Mujin didn't want to disturb her, so she reached for it herself. Just as she was holding onto the armrest of the dragon throne to support herself, the wheelchair slid backward a little, and Bai Mujin lost her balance and fell onto the shelf, which she knocked over.

Chang Chun was startled by the sound and turned around to see Bai Mujin lying on the shelf, looking quite disheveled.

Quickly put down what you were holding and help Bai Mujin into her wheelchair.

She felt a little guilty because when she helped Bai Mujin up, Bai Mujin apologized to her, saying that she had caused him trouble again.

She felt sorry for Bai Mujin. Bai Mujin used to be so sunny and cheerful, but now she sits in a wheelchair every day staring blankly at her legs.
