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

The next day, Li Muxia and the others prepared to return to the manor.

They didn't deliberately inquire about the Ge family's affairs, but while eating downstairs at the inn, everyone was discussing how Ge Guanren, the richest man in Fuyuan Town, was poisoned to death by his concubine, and how the vast Ge family fortune had fallen into the hands of Madam Ge's second daughter, while the Ge family's only son received nothing.

However, what everyone cares about more is the future of the Ge family's business. After all, the daughter will eventually get married. Some people even said that the Ge family might recruit a son-in-law. Everyone is looking forward to the second possibility, and some young men are even eager to try.

Li Muxia and the others listened quietly while eating, without joining in the conversation.

Back at the manor, the last ingredient to cure the curse arrived, and Dongfang Jincheng's curse could finally be cured, with all the materials prepared.

When Dongfang Jincheng returned from the hot spring, Xiaoyaozi took him into the operating room where Bai Mujin had previously undergone surgery.

It's impossible for Xiaoyaozi to be the only doctor in the operating room. Bai Qingshi, Bai Shu, Shangguan Jingye, Li Muxia, and even Bai Mujin, who has difficulty walking, were all present.

Looking at the crowded room, Dongfang Jincheng felt like a monkey in a circus, and said with some helplessness, "Do we need so many people?"

Shangguan Jingye said with a grin, "Your Highness Prince Rui, the Gu worms in the Southern Frontier have reappeared. Now, in the entire Eastern Kingdom, only my senior uncle may be able to cure the Gu. We should learn from him now so that if more people are infected with the Gu in the future, we can be of use in time."

Upon hearing this, Bai Shu was genuinely afraid of being kicked out. Those were Gu worms, something he had never seen before in his life. He chimed in, "Yes, yes, we must study hard. In case those sorcerers in the Southern Frontier really have ulterior motives, we can take precautions in advance."

Watching the two of them talking back and forth, everyone present knew what they were thinking, but no one dared to expose them.

Seeing that Dongfang Jincheng had no intention of kicking him out, Xiaoyaozi began to remove the curse, with Li Muxia assisting.

The others watched intently. They thought Bai Mujin would be embarrassed to see a man's body, but she really wasn't embarrassed at all. It was as if she was more attractive to the handsome Dongfang Jincheng than to a venomous insect.

The process of removing the curse was long and thrilling. Watching tiny black worms crawl out of the bloody mouth sent chills down the spines of everyone present.

Xiaoyaozi collected the Gu worms. Although these little insects were useless, they wouldn't stop him from doing his research. Although he could detoxify Gu, he was a complete novice when it came to making Gu. He had tried to figure it out before and even raised a Leech King, but that was nothing compared to these Gu worms that killed people invisibly.

When Dongfang Jincheng saw the Gu worms crawling out of his body, even though he had seen many great things, he couldn't help but feel nauseous.

Noticing Dongfang Jincheng's discomfort, Li Muxia gently patted his back. Feeling the gentle touch of the small hand on his back, Dongfang Jincheng inexplicably felt a sense of gratitude towards these little insects, which even seemed somewhat adorable now.

Although the Gu worms were removed, Dongfang Jincheng's body was weak for two days. Li Muxia took care of Dongfang Jincheng for these two days, which was more of a post-treatment care, mainly to observe whether Dongfang Jincheng had any other reactions.

Fortunately, Dongfang Jincheng had a good foundation. After two days of rest, he was able to use his internal energy again. Although he had not fully recovered, he was about 60-70% better, enough to protect himself.

When Dongfang Jincheng was almost fully recovered, he asked Bai Qingshi for permission to resign.

Before Dongfang Jincheng descended the mountain, he handed a signal flare to Li Muxia and said, "Use this when you encounter danger."

Li Muxia looked at the signal flare in her hand with some excitement. She was quite interested in this thing and wanted to study it.

After Dongfang Jincheng left, Li Muxia spent her days studying medicine and following Xiaoyaozi up the mountain to collect herbs.

After nearly a month of rehabilitation training, Bai Mujin can now walk without assistance. Although she can't walk as fast as she can, she can at least manage her daily life.

Seeing that Bai Mujin had recovered enough, Li Muxia prepared to go back. Shangguan Jingye naturally followed. Bai Shu also hurriedly went to beg his old man. Fortunately, after his persistent pleading, Bai Shu also went down the mountain with Li Muxia and Shangguan Jingye.

Fortunately, Li Muxia had taught Cui'er how to ride a horse while they were on the mountain, and now the four of them were riding horses on the official road.

Just as the four were racing against time to reach the post station before dark, a person suddenly rushed out of the woods. The person staggered and ran into the middle of the road, glancing behind him as if someone was chasing him.

His sudden appearance startled the four men. The horse was moving very fast, and as Li Muxia's horse got closer and closer to the man, Li Muxia nervously pulled on the reins and shouted, "Brother, get out of the way!"

The man seemed stunned, staring motionlessly at Li Muxia on horseback.

Fortunately, Li Muxia reined in his horse when he was less than half a meter away from the man.

The horse, propelled by its immense momentum, reared up high on its forelegs. As the horse's legs landed, the man also fell to the ground.

Because it was dark, Li Muxia couldn't see the man on the ground clearly, but she still immediately dismounted to check if he was injured.

As he dismounted, he muttered to himself, "Oh no, did she faint from fright?"

The other three also dismounted and came to Li Muxia's side.

As soon as Li Muxia got close to the man, she smelled a bloody odor and wondered if she had bumped into him.

As Li Muxia approached, she called out softly, "Brother, are you alright?"

Receiving no response, Shangguan Jingye stepped forward to stop Li Muxia from touching the man, and took her place to turn him over.

The sun had just set, and there was still some light in the air. The group could clearly see the man's appearance. He had a handsome face that rivaled Dongfang Jincheng's, and he was someone that Li Muxia and Shangguan Jingye knew.

Li Muxia recognized the man at first glance and exclaimed in surprise, "Young Master Long?"

Then he exchanged a glance with Shangguan Jingye to confirm that he had not mistaken the person for someone else.

Li Muxia quickly squatted down next to Long Haonan and checked his injuries together with Shangguan Jingye.

Li Muxia: "Senior brother, I just smelled blood on Young Master Long's body. He must have suffered an external injury."

As soon as Li Muxia finished speaking, Shangguan Jingye pointed to Long Haonan's right abdomen and said, "It looks like he's seriously injured here."
