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

The two sides exchanged greetings.

Princess Xingyue looked the two of them over, then innocently took Li Anran's hand and said, "You are Fourth Brother's fiancée. You are so beautiful. No wonder Fourth Brother always talks about you."

Li Muxia was jostled by her and almost lost her balance, but fortunately Cui'er caught her in time.

As if realizing she had bumped into someone, Princess Xingyue looked at Li Muxia apologetically and stepped forward, feigning concern, saying, "Oh dear, I'm so sorry, Miss Li. I didn't mean to. I'm always so clumsy. You won't blame me, will you?"

This familiar tactic gave Li Muxia a strange sense of familiarity. What else could it be but a green tea b*tch?

However, Li Muxia was not in the mood to fight with the scheming woman, so she gently shook her head to indicate that she was fine.

Princess Xingyue immediately beamed and hugged Li Muxia's arm, saying, "Sister, you're such a good person. May I call you Sister Xia from now on?"

Without waiting for Li Muxia's reply, he pulled Li Muxia to sit down, and the two sat side by side, with Dongfang Jincheng sitting next to Princess Xingyue.

The only thing separating Li Muxia and Dongfang Jincheng was Princess Xingyue.

Li Muxia felt uncomfortable with Princess Xingyue holding her arm and tried to pull it back, but Princess Xingyue suddenly let go of her arm and turned to talk to Dongfang Jincheng.

By this time, the actors on stage had taken their places and begun their performance, so Li Muxia stopped paying attention to Princess Xingyue and simply focused on listening to the play.

Li Muxia wanted to concentrate on the opera, but Pianpian was sitting next to a chatterbox. From the beginning of the opera to the end of the first act, all she could hear was the sound of the opera from the audience and the voice of Princess Xingyue next to her.

Li Muxia even suspected that Princess Xingyue might have been mute in her past life, which is why she speaks so much in this life to make up for the words she didn't say in her previous life.

The key point is that Princess Xingyue's words were so disgusting, so affected and saccharine.

She had heard before that men couldn't tell the difference between a "green tea bitch" and a "green tea bitch," and she really wanted to see Dongfang Jincheng's expression to see if he could tell who the "green tea bitch" was.

Unfortunately, every time she tried to peek, Princess Xingyue cleverly blocked her way.

Li Muxia then realized that Princess Xingyue actually liked Dongfang Jincheng. She must have heard about her relationship with Dongfang Jincheng from somewhere, which was why she treated her that way at the beginning. Even though it was Princess Xingyue who pulled her to sit down, she didn't say a word to her after sitting down.

This was clearly to prevent Dongfang Jincheng from sitting next to Li Muxia.

Having figured all this out, Li Muxia smiled bitterly to herself; she had now become Princess Xingyue's imagined enemy.

At this moment, Dongfang Jinxuan was also quietly telling Li Anran about Princess Xingyue. Li Muxia listened with interest.

It turns out that Princess Xingyue is the youngest daughter of Prince Heng, the ninth brother of the current emperor. She has just turned sixteen this year and is Prince Heng's most beloved daughter. Dongfang Xingyue has liked Dongfang Jincheng since she was a child. Whenever she came to the capital, she would pester Dongfang Jincheng. Dongfang Jincheng would always find various excuses to avoid her.

As Princess Xingyue grew older, Prince Heng wanted to find her a husband in the capital so that she could stay there instead of remaining in her fiefdom with them.

At this point, Dongfang Jincheng glanced at Li Muxia with a serious expression and continued, "I heard that Uncle Heng has taken a liking to Third Brother."

Hearing this, Li Muxia almost laughed. Dongfang Jincheng wasn't blind; he hadn't even taken a liking to Wei Shuyue, so why would he be interested in this high-class green tea, Princess Xingyue?

As it turned out, she was quickly proven wrong, because she saw Dongfang Jincheng, who never allowed women to get close, wiping the crumbs from Princess Xingyue's face.

Princess Xingyue was completely stunned. She hadn't expected Dongfang Jincheng to suddenly wipe her face. Before, when she accidentally touched the hem of his robe, he had ruthlessly stripped her of her clothes in front of everyone and even had them burned. What was going on today? He was actually wiping her face. Had Brother Jincheng fallen for her? All her efforts over the years had finally paid off.

Realizing this, Princess Xingyue's face turned red, her eyes reddened, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Seeing this, Dongfang Jincheng asked, "What's wrong? Why are you crying?"

The voice was so gentle that Li Muxia felt the person in front of her was not Dongfang Jincheng. In fact, the person was not Dongfang Jincheng, but Dongfang Jincheng's personal double, Huaying.

Li Muxia felt a little uncomfortable. She knew she was jealous, but what right did she have to be jealous?

The sound of opera singing rose from the audience again. Li Muxia tried hard to concentrate on listening to the opera and divert her attention, but the more she watched, the more something seemed off.

The woman on the stage clearly liked the man, but after receiving his expression of love, she cruelly rejected him. The man asked her to marry him many times, but she refused. In the end, the male protagonist was heartbroken and turned to marry his cousin, who had always admired him.

After learning the truth, the female protagonist was filled with regret and became depressed every day.

Looking at the scene on the stage, Li Muxia always felt that she was being portrayed.

At that moment, Princess Xingyue's voice came from beside her.

“Brother Jincheng, that young lady is really ungrateful. She didn’t agree to marry him before, but after they got married, she made a huge fuss. She deserves to never get a man’s love.”

Li Anran's voice came from the left, but she was much more tactful: "If Miss had accepted the man's proposal earlier, things wouldn't have turned out like this. What a pity."

Li Muxia looked at Li Anran and asked, "Do you also think that Miss should accept the marriage proposal sooner?"

Li Anran: "Yes, they clearly like each other, so why do they have to torture each other? In the end, neither of them will be happy."

Li Muxia froze upon hearing Li Anran's words, struck by Li Anran's statement about torturing each other. Yes, wasn't she and Dongfang Jincheng torturing each other right now?

Seeing Li Muxia stunned, Li Anran called out twice, "Sister, sister, what's wrong?"

Li Muxia snapped out of her daze, gave a pale smile, and said, "It's nothing, I'm going to the restroom."

Li Anran nodded, and seeing that Cui'er was accompanying her, she felt at ease and continued watching the play.

Arriving at the backyard of the pear orchard, Li Muxia found it very quiet. She sat down at a stone table, the cool touch bringing her back to her senses.

Cui'er quickly stepped forward and pulled Li Muxia up: "Miss, it's cold."

Li Muxia stood up and said, "It's nothing." But she didn't go back to sit on the cold stone bench.

Seeing Li Muxia gazing at the moon with a heavy heart, Cui'er asked, "Miss, is something on your mind?"

Li Muxia continued to look at the sky, sighed, and said, "Cui'er, do you think they would have been happy if that young lady had agreed to the proposal from the beginning?"

Cui'er: "I think they will definitely be happy. They love each other and will only get happier in the future."

Upon hearing this, Li Muxia sighed: "But people change. They do seem very loving now, but what if the man marries different women in the future to consolidate his power? Will they still be happy then?"
