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

After hearing Chang Chun's explanation, Bai Shu realized that he had misunderstood Bai Mujin, and in frustration, he slapped himself in the face.

“I’m not human, I don’t deserve to be her brother.”

Shangguan Jingye quickly grabbed Bai Shu, afraid that he would slap him.

"What are you doing? Just apologize to your junior sister later. Why are you hitting yourself?"

Bai Shu's eyes were slightly red, and she looked at Shangguan Jingye, not knowing what to say for a moment.

That was his beloved little sister. When did he start to lose patience with her?

Bai Qingshi sighed and headed towards Bai Mujin's room. He wanted to comfort her, even though he knew it wouldn't be very effective, because she was, after all, his youngest daughter whom he had doted on since childhood.

Seeing this, Li Muxia stopped Bai Qingshi and said, "Master, let me go. Prince Rui is still waiting for you in the main hall. Let me, a girl, handle this matter."

Bai Qingshi looked at Li Muxia, hope welling up in his eyes; maybe she really could.

Seeing Li Muxia nod, he said, "Okay, then thank you for your hard work, Muxia."

Li Muxia smiled slightly and said, "Master, what are you saying? That's my senior sister."

Bai Qingshi looked at Li Muxia with a gratified smile: "Then I will entrust your senior sister to you."

Li Muxia patted her chest: "Don't worry."

Bai Qingshi turned and left, followed by Shangguan Jingye and Bai Shu. Inside was a woman's boudoir, and it was inconvenient for the two men to go in.

Before leaving, the two looked at Li Muxia with complicated expressions, wondering if her visit would be of any use.

Watching the others leave, Li Muxia walked over the mess to Bai Mujin's door and gently knocked.

"Senior sister, I am Li Muxia, Master's disciple, your junior sister. May I come in?"

When Bai Mujin heard Li Muxia's name, she remembered that there seemed to be a young man standing behind her father outside. She also recalled that when she first woke up, she couldn't accept the fact that she was disabled and was in a very low mood. Her father told her a lot about Li Muxia in order to comfort her. At that time, she really envied Li Muxia and wanted to see what this extraordinary woman, whom her father praised to the skies, looked like.

Li Muxia waited outside for a long time without receiving a response, then said, "Senior sister, if you don't say anything, I'll take that as your consent and I'll come in."

Before Bai Mujin could even utter a word of refusal, Li Muxia had already pushed the door open and entered.

Now that they're already inside, Bai Mujin couldn't possibly kick them out; that would be too impolite.

Seeing that Bai Mujin was facing out the window with her back to him, Li Muxia, as if they were old friends, came over to Bai Mujin's side and stood next to her, looking out the window.

"Senior sister, what are you looking at?"

Bai Mujin did not answer.

Li Muxia didn't mind and continued, "Senior Sister, I heard Master say before that you are the most hardworking disciple in the entire Jishi Manor, and your comprehension of medical skills even surpasses Master's. I really wanted to meet you back then, and I finally got to meet you today."

Bai Mujin reacted to Li Muxia's words. Yes, she used to be her father's pride and the most beloved person in the entire Jishi Manor. Now, everything was gone.

It's not that I care about those empty titles, it's just that once someone has enjoyed so much love and attention, it's hard for anyone to accept losing it all at once.

"Now that you've seen it, aren't you disappointed?"

Upon hearing Bai Mujin speak, Li Muxia's eyes lit up, and she finally reacted.

"What are you saying, senior sister? Why should I be disappointed?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Mujin looked at her legs, her tone filled with sorrow.

"I'm a useless person now."

Upon hearing this, Li Muxia interrupted, "I won't allow you to say that, Senior Sister. Who said losing your legs makes you a cripple? Did you treat patients with your legs before? Besides, if you say you're a cripple, then those who have all four limbs but are idle and commit crimes are even worse than cripples."

Bai Mujin was somewhat annoyed: "How dare you compare me to those people?"

Li Muxia: "I don't mean to compare you with those people who are not respectable. I just want to tell you that although you can't stand up right now, you have excellent medical skills. The most important thing for us doctors is our hands and brain. As long as these two are still in good condition, we can continue to shine in the medical field. You don't know how many people envy your medical skills."

Hearing Li Muxia's words, Bai Mujin felt a glimmer of hope and asked, "You're saying I'm not a cripple?"

Li Muxia: "If Senior Sister is a cripple, how are those good-for-nothings outside supposed to live?"

The playful tone instantly put Bai Mujin in a good mood, but he was still somewhat insecure.

"But I can't even pick something up."

Li Muxia: "Senior sister, you just need to shine in your area of ​​expertise, and leave the rest to the professionals, okay?"

Looking outside, he continued, "We have to make Changchun do something, otherwise Master might have to send her away again."

“I could tell from your voice that Chang Chun really admires you. How can you bear to let her go to someone else, someone whose character is unknown?”

Bai Mujin looked out the door; Chang Chun was still cleaning up the things on the floor.

Bai Mujin sighed and said, "Thank you, junior sister. I understand what you're saying, but I just can't accept the thought of living in a wheelchair for the rest of my life."

Li Muxia squatted down and placed her hand on his knee.

He said softly, "Shall I tell you a story?"

Li Muxia told the story of Helen Keller, but made some slight changes to make the story sound more relevant to the era.

After listening, Bai Mujin was also moved by Helen Keller's tenacious perseverance and resilience. Looking at her own legs, she felt that they were not so unacceptable anymore.

"If I could, I would really like to meet this woman named Helen Keller."

Li Muxia thought to herself: I'm not going to see him again.

But what he said was, "I also want to see him, but unfortunately I don't have the chance."

Bai Mujin asked, "Why?"

Li Muxia: "I read this story in a travelogue. Helen Keller lived on the other side of the ocean, far away from here. It was a place we had not yet discovered."

Bai Mujin scoffed, "You little brat, you probably made up this story just to comfort me, didn't you? I knew her name was so strange."

Li Muxia didn't explain, but smiled and said, "Senior sister, just take it as me making up a story. But I believe that you can also become a woman as admirable as Helen Keller."

Bai Mujin's eyes were already filled with tears, but the corners of her mouth were turned up.

"Yes, I can definitely do it."

Alright, now that you've come to terms with it, you probably don't mind if I look at your legs, right?

Upon hearing this, Bai Mujin said, "What's there to see? Father said it can't be cured."

Li Muxia: "In that case, I might as well take a look."

Seeing that Li Muxia was determined to look, Bai Mujin went along with her and lifted up the clothes on her legs.
