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

When Li Muxia turned to look at Feng Xiao, Dongfang Jinlin recognized Li Muxia disguised as a man at a glance, and his heart still ached uncontrollably.

Since the last time he saw Li Muxia, Dongfang Jinlin found that his obsession with Li Muxia was even deeper than it was six years ago. At this moment, he even wanted to hold her in his arms without any regard for anything else.

Li Muxia naturally bowed to Dongfang Jinlin, as she had never expected to run into him here.

Seeing this, everyone else also knelt down and bowed. Dongfang Jinlin said, "This is not the imperial court. There is no distinction between noble and lowly here. Everyone, please do what you are supposed to do."

Upon hearing this, everyone stood up, but their movements were somewhat restrained.

Seeing this, Dongfang Jinlin thought it best to hurry to the private room and said to Manager Wang, "Manager, please take us to the private room."

Upon hearing this, Manager Wang said with some difficulty, "This..."

Before Manager Wang could finish speaking, Zhang Mengjie said, "Your Highness, are there no seats left?"

Zhang Mengjie still has a clear handprint on her face, which looks somewhat comical.

Upon hearing this, Feng Xiao frowned and looked at Feng Jingxin, asking, "Jingxin, didn't I tell you to come earlier? Why are there still no seats? And what's wrong with Miss Zhang's face?"

Feng Jingxin said somewhat aggrievedly, "Brother, we arrived a long time ago, but when we came, the waiter said there were no seats available and we had to wait. I told them that His Highness Prince Chen would be here soon and asked them to make an exception, but they insisted that there were no seats available and we had to wait. As soon as Li Muxia arrived, Manager Wang took her to a private room without us having to wait in line. Mengjie couldn't stand it and came up to argue, and then she was slapped by Li Muxia."

Upon hearing this, Li Muxia scoffed inwardly, thinking what a blatant distortion of the truth, but she didn't rush to explain.

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Jinlin glanced at Zhang Mengjie indifferently and then said, "Since there's no room available, let's find another place and not disturb their business."

When Feng Jingxin heard that Dongfang Jinlin did not intend to blame Li Muxia, she said, "Your Highness, Haidilao is showing you no respect. Are you really planning to just let it go?"

Dongfang Jinlin glanced coldly at Feng Jingxin: "What, do you want to cause trouble here?"

Now, Dongfang Jinlin realized that Feng Jingxin was not only stupid and brainless, but also vicious. He really regretted that he had agreed to his father's bestowed marriage in a muddle. Thinking of this, he looked at Li Muxia again, his heart filled with complicated feelings.

Feng Jingxin felt even more resentful towards Li Muxia after being reprimanded by Dongfang Jinlin. However, she quickly adjusted her mindset and smiled as she bowed to Dongfang Jinlin, saying, "Your Highness is right to reprimand me. It was Xin'er who did not think things through."

He then looked at Li Muxia and said, "Muxia, I apologize for any offense I may have caused today."

After saying that, she obediently stood next to Feng Xiao.

Dongfang Jinlin cupped his hands to Li Muxia, then went out first.

The little incident passed just like that. Everyone thought they could finally have a proper meal, but who knew that when Li Muxia came out to choose her dishes, she happened to see Long Haonan waiting in the rest area.

Long Haonan also saw Li Muxia. Li Muxia waved to Long Haonan and said, "Brother Long."

Long Haonan came to Li Muxia's side and looked at her. Although it had only been a day since they last met, it felt like a long time.

“Brother Xia, no, I should call you Brother Li now. I went to the General’s Mansion after returning from the palace. They said you had come out. I searched the streets all morning but couldn’t find you. I didn’t expect to run into you here.”

Upon hearing this, Li Muxia asked, "Brother Long, what brings you here?"

Long Hannan looked a little shy and said, "It's nothing, it's just that I'm unfamiliar with Kyoto and the only people I know are you and Brother Shangguan. I was thinking of asking you to show me around Kyoto."

Upon hearing this, Li Muxia said generously, "Is that all? No problem. Brother Long, you haven't eaten yet, have you?"

As he spoke, he glanced at the rest area, where there were still several groups of people.

Then he said, "Come on, come with us."

Long Haonan had the same idea. He was tired of looking for Li Muxia on the street and heard that the newly opened Haidilao in Kyoto was delicious and different from ordinary hotels, so he wanted to try it. He didn't expect there to be so many people when he came in. Since he was already here, he decided to wait.

Luckily, I ran into Li Muxia, otherwise I don't know when I would have been able to eat.

Just as the two entered the private room, Hong'er, Chunxing, and Qiuju saw strangers coming in and quickly stood up from their seats, not wanting outsiders to think they were unruly and eating with their masters.

Li Anran, who was enjoying her meal, felt the person next to her stand up. She looked up at the door and saw Li Muxia leading a strange man in. She subconsciously asked, "Sister, who is this?"

Long Haonan looked at Li Muxia with some surprise when he heard Li Anran call her "sister," and asked, "Sister?"

Li Muxia thought Long Haonan already knew her identity, but now it seems he still doesn't know she's a woman.

Li Muxia wasn't in a hurry. She first introduced Long Haonan to Li Anran: "Anran, this is Young Master Long, a good friend I met when I went to Longteng Kingdom."

Li Anran stood up and bowed to Long Haonan. She had obviously forgotten that she was wearing men's clothing today, and was now bowing to Long Haonan in a girl's way. Long Haonan was a little confused, but when he saw Li Anran bow, he quickly returned the bow.

Li Muxia then invited Long Haonan to a seat, poured him a cup of tea, and said, "Brother Long, I have been disguised as a man for the sake of convenience."

Upon hearing Li Muxia's words, Long Haonan dropped the cup he was holding without warning, making a clattering sound.

Seeing tea splashed on Long Haonan's chest, Li Muxia subconsciously took out her handkerchief to wipe it dry for him, saying as she did so, "Brother Long, you don't need to react so strongly."

Long Haonan didn't hear what Li Muxia said after that; he was still shocked by Li Muxia's words, "a woman disguised as a man."

Looking at the person in front of him, Long Haonan suddenly grabbed Li Muxia's hand and asked excitedly, "What did you just say? Say it again."

Li Muxia looked at Long Haonan and sensed that something was wrong with him, but she still repeated, "I said you don't need to react so strongly."

Long Haonan: "No, you said you were a woman disguised as a man."

Li Muxia nodded: "Mm."

Upon hearing this, Long Haonan became even more excited: "So, you are a woman."

Li Muxia nodded and said, "Mm."

Long Haonan looked at Li Muxia and suddenly burst into laughter, startling Li Anran, Hong'er, Qiuju, and Chunxing, who all unconsciously took a half step back.

Is this person mentally unstable?

After laughing, Long Haonan said as if talking to himself, "I'm normal, I have no problem. That's great, that's great, you're a woman, that's wonderful."

His actions left everyone present puzzled.

Just as Long Haonan was about to explain something, the door was pushed open, and a tall, slender man stood outside, looking at the people inside.

"So, the Dragon Prince is here. Would you mind if I came in and joined you?"
