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

Upon hearing this, Ashida realized that the person was not Wei Shuyue. He had heard about the Li family's daughters before. The eldest daughter was a spoiled and willful one who had been jilted by Prince Chen, while the second daughter was elegant and quiet and was engaged to Prince Xian. However, neither of them seemed to have anything to do with the spoiled and willful eldest daughter. Was the rumor wrong, or was this eldest daughter just too good at acting?

However, these grassland tribes have always been bold and self-assured, expressing their feelings directly when they meet someone they like, and some will even snatch that person away.

Upon hearing the identities of the group, Namilia suddenly spoke up, "Miss of the General's Mansion, is that the General's Mansion whose engagement was broken off by Prince Chen?"

Her words immediately created an awkward atmosphere among everyone present.

Li Muxia: Is this person too naive or has low emotional intelligence? They brought up someone's sore spot on the first meeting. How rude.

In the awkward atmosphere, the shopkeeper came in carrying several pieces of clothing. Because winter clothes are thick, even just a few pieces piled up high, blocking the shopkeeper's view. As she walked in, she said, "Madam, the clothes are here. Please take a look and see if there's anything you like."

After she put the clothes on the table, she noticed that there were more people in the store. However, she keenly sensed that the atmosphere was a bit off, so she quickly smiled and said, "Please come in, esteemed guests. We have clothes for both men and women. Please take a look and see if there's anything you like."

After Namibia's words, Shangguan Wanyun lost interest in shopping and just wanted to buy some clothes and leave. Seeing that the shopkeeper had brought out several nice clothes, she picked up the two on the top shelf and asked, "Muxia, Ran'er, these two are fine."

Li Anran and Li Muxia nodded.

Just as Shangguan Wanyun was about to have the shopkeeper pack them up, Namiya suddenly spoke up, "Boss lady, I like these two items too, I'll take them."

The shopkeeper was somewhat embarrassed, because she only had one of each style in her shop. She tried to persuade her, "Miss, this lady took a liking to these two dresses first. Why don't you take a look at the other styles?"

The shopkeeper spoke cautiously, because the person in front of her was someone she couldn't afford to offend—he was an envoy.

Upon hearing this, Namiya insisted, "I only want these two items, Madam. Surely your Eastern Kingdom doesn't lack even this basic hospitality?"

Just as Shangguan Wanyun was about to say something, Li Muxia stopped her and said with a smile, "The princess is right. Since the princess likes this dress, then we will give it to the princess."

After saying that, he turned to Shangguan Wanyun and said, "Second Aunt, let's choose something else."

Namibia smiled smugly.

Seeing Li Muxia pick up another item, Namija pointed to the clothes in Li Muxia's hand and said, "I want that one too."

Upon hearing this, Li Muxia seemed to understand something, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly: "This one should also be given to Princess Namibia."

She then picked up another item from the side, and unsurprisingly, Namija also took a liking to it. After that, whenever Li Muxia picked up that item, Namija would want it, and Li Muxia would very generously give it to him.

After choosing for a while, Li Muxia pretended to be angry and said, "What does the princess mean by this?"

Namibia said nonchalantly, "It doesn't mean anything, it's just that this princess can't stand you."

Upon hearing this, Li Muxia continued, feeling wronged, "Princess, you're going too far."

Seeing the beauty shed tears, Ashida looked at Namija with disapproval, wanting to stop her from continuing like this.

Li Muxia wouldn't give him a chance to persuade others.

He said angrily, "I don't believe the princess can buy all the clothes in the store."

Sure enough, Namibia said without hesitation, "This princess is going to buy all the clothes in the store."

Li Muxia angrily pointed at Namibia: "You..."

Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper looked at Namija in disbelief: "Princess, do you really want to buy all the clothes in my shop?"

Namibia continued to look at Li Muxia, and said arrogantly, "Of course."

The shopkeeper glanced at Namija, then at Li Muxia, and finally spoke his mind: "Princess, although our shop is small, we have quite a few clothes."

Before the shopkeeper could finish speaking, Namija impatiently interrupted, "What's with all the rambling? Are you afraid this princess can't afford to pay?"

The shopkeeper immediately flattered, "It was my fault for being blind. I will pack it up for the princess and send it to the embassy right away."

As he spoke, the shopkeeper came over to Li Muxia's side and offered a few words of advice before going inside to settle the accounts.

Li Muxia and the others didn't leave. Soon the shopkeeper brought over the bill.

"Princess, our shop has a total of 120 pieces of clothing, totaling 2,320 taels. I'll round it down for you, so you can just give me 2,300 taels."

Ashida's eyes widened when she heard this: "How much?"

He snatched the bill from the shopkeeper's hand and glanced at it.

Namibia felt a little guilty. After all, they had only brought twenty or thirty thousand taels of silver with them to the capital, and now they were going to spend two thousand taels just on clothes. Their small tribe's royal family's expenses for half a year were only five thousand taels. She regretted it a little.

Li Muxia didn't give her a chance to regret it, and said, "What, Princess Namibia, can't you even come up with a mere two thousand three hundred taels? If you're so poor, don't try to put on a show like others."

Upon hearing this, Namibia's face flushed red. Lacking confidence, she insisted on speaking boldly, saying, "Who said that? Fifth Brother will pay."

Ashida was practically grinding his teeth to powder, but now that the die was cast, he had no choice but to go. With a heavy heart, he took out the silver notes from his pocket and reluctantly gave them to the landlady.

Li Muxia then smiled and said, "Shopkeeper, now that you've received the money, hurry up and pack it up and send it to the princess, lest something unexpected happens."

The proprietress understood the implication in Li Muxia's words and quickly replied, "Alright, I'll have someone pack it up and send it to the princess right away."

Ashida and Namibia saw that Li Muxia no longer had any anger or grievances, and they knew in their hearts that they had fallen into Li Muxia's trap, but they could only swallow their anger and suffer in silence.

Li Muxia bowed to the two of them and said, "The princess still needs to have her measurements taken, so we won't disturb you any longer. Farewell."

Before the two could react, he pulled Shangguan Wanyun and Li Anran out.

As soon as they stepped out the door, Li Muxia couldn't help but laugh, and Li Anran and Shangguan Wanyun laughed along with her.

Li Muxia: "They don't think there's only one clothing store in Kyoto, do they?"

Hearing the laughter outside, Ashida and Namibia's faces darkened frighteningly.

Ashida asked in the tribal language, "Namiya, why are you targeting them?"

Namibia was also quite annoyed at this moment, but she still honestly said, "Yesterday, I met the Crown Prince of Longteng Kingdom at the embassy. I like him, but I heard that the Crown Prince of Longteng Kingdom likes Li Muxia, and I couldn't help myself..."

Seeing that Ashida's expression was not good, he softened and said, "Fifth Brother, I'm sorry, I was wrong."

Ashida sighed and said, "Have you forgotten why you came here?"

Upon hearing this, Namia's expression turned sour, and she said in a low voice, "Didn't Father say that if there isn't a suitable match, there's no need to force a marriage alliance?"

Ashida suddenly felt a bit exasperated: "Even if the marriage alliance doesn't work out, you can't marry the crown prince of the Dragon Soaring Kingdom. Have you forgotten that we are a vassal tribe of the Eastern Kingdom?"

He didn't say anything more, but Namibia understood the implications.
