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

Upon hearing this, Wei Shuyue's face stiffened: "Princess, you misunderstand. Shuyue truly wishes to befriend you two."

Ashida glanced at Namiia with displeasure and said, "Namiia, don't be rude."

Namiia glanced at Ashida with displeasure, knowing in her heart that Ashida was indulging in lust. Back in the tribe, Ashida was notorious for his lechery, and now he probably had his eye on the most beautiful woman, Wei Shuyue.

Although Wei Shuyue felt uncomfortable and even nauseous from Ashida's gaze, she maintained a gentle, graceful, and appropriate smile.

“Princess Namibia is indeed a person of strong character. I heard that Princess Namibia had some minor misunderstandings with Li Muxia.”

At this point, he glanced at Namiia and, sure enough, noticed that Namiia's expression had turned disgusted.

He continued, "Princess, please don't misunderstand. Although Li Muxia and I are friends, I will not take her side. Although I don't know what happened between you and Li Muxia, Li Muxia's treatment of you has disgraced our Eastern Kingdom. I apologize to you both on Li Muxia's behalf."

Upon hearing this, the two felt that Wei Shuyue was a sensible person who apologized to them on behalf of Li Muxia, and was at least much more likable than Li Muxia.

Ashida quickly stepped forward to help Wei Shuyue up, but Wei Shuyue wouldn't let him touch her and got up and sat down on her own.

Ashida awkwardly withdrew her hand and said, "Actually, it's not a big deal. Miss Wei, there's no need to be like this. If Li Muxia were as well-mannered as Miss Wei, we wouldn't have had to argue with her."

Upon hearing this, Wei Shuyue said, "Actually, Mu Xia wasn't like this before. Perhaps something happened recently that changed her."

Ashida: "Oh, what is it?"

Wei Shuyue pretended to be embarrassed and said, "I'm sure you two have heard that Prince Rui, the Crown Prince of Longteng Kingdom, and the two princes of Nanling Kingdom all have feelings for Li Muxia. These are all outstanding individuals. Being liked by such people would make anyone feel a little vain. Muxia is no exception. She can't see anyone right now, so she naturally won't treat you two with any courtesy."

The two were furious after hearing Wei Shuyue's words.

Namibia: "Hmph, what right does a mere young lady from a small general's mansion have to look down on us?"

Ashida didn't speak, but her eyes held a hint of ruthlessness.

Wei Shuyue continued, "Isn't it because someone is backing her up that he can act so recklessly?"

Namibia thought of the people Wei Shuyue had mentioned. They were indeed people they couldn't afford to offend. Offending any one of them could lead to the annihilation of their tribe.

Seeing that the two were silent, Wei Shuyue pretended to speak casually and said, "However, once a woman loses her virginity, no matter how outstanding or beautiful she is, she will no longer be valued by men."

The two were a little confused by Wei Shuyue's words. Weren't they just talking about Li Muxia? How did they suddenly switch to the topic of chastity?

Just as Namibia was about to ask Wei Shuyue what she meant...

Ashida said with a smile, "Miss Wei is right. I've heard that here, women value chastity the most. I've also heard that once a woman loses her chastity, she either dies or marries the man who made her lose her chastity. Is that true?"

Wei Shuyue covered her mouth and smiled: "I didn't expect the prince to know so much about our local customs."

Ashida laughed along, while Namiia felt like a fool. She sensed that there was something hidden in their conversation, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it, and she was getting a little angry.

Having achieved her goal, Wei Shuyue said, "Tomorrow I will invite Li Muxia to the plum garden to admire the plum blossoms. If the princess has time, why don't you come along?"

Although the words were an invitation to Namibia, they were spoken while looking at Ashida.

Ashida instantly understood what Wei Shuyue meant and nodded in agreement on behalf of Namibia.

"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey."

After Wei Shuyue left, Namiya said impatiently, "Brother Wang, why did you agree to her on my behalf so casually?"

Ashida patted Namiia's hand on the table and said, "Sister Wang, don't you hate Li Muxia? Be a good girl and go admire the plum blossoms with Miss Wei tomorrow. I'll give you a surprise when you come back."

Upon realizing something, Namilia exclaimed in surprise, "Brother Wang, you wouldn't be thinking of..."

Before she could finish speaking, Ashida put her finger to her lips in a shushing gesture.

Namibia quickly covered her mouth with her hand, looked around, and whispered, "Brother Wang, is this the right thing to do?"

Ashida didn't speak, but looked at her confidently.

In the afternoon, Li Muxia was playing charades with Li Anran and Su Lanzhi when Hong'er rushed in and said, "Miss, Miss Wei sent someone to bring you this."

Li Muxia took the letter from her hand, opened it, and glanced at it briefly.

Li Anran asked, "Sister, what does it say on it?"

Li Muxia: "Miss Wei invited me to the plum garden to admire the plum blossoms."

Li Anran immediately became interested: "Admiring plum blossoms? That's wonderful! I want to go too. Can I go with you tomorrow, sister?"

Su Lanzhi quickly added, "Me too, I want to go too."

Li Muxia did indeed frown. After Li Muxia refused to help Wei Shuyue last time, there was a rift between them, and they hadn't been in contact since.

Moreover, she has now established a relationship with Dongfang Jincheng, and to be honest, going to see Wei Shuyue makes her feel like she's stealing her best friend's man.

Although Dongfang Jincheng had never been in a relationship with Wei Shuyue, she knew about Wei Shuyue's feelings before and had even considered bringing them together.

It's really a bit awkward to meet now.

However, seeing that Li Anran and Su Lanzhi had already discussed going to the plum garden, she didn't want to spoil the mood, and she also wanted to make things clear with Wei Shuyue.

The next day, the three arrived at the plum garden as agreed. Wei Shuyue was already waiting at the entrance of the plum garden. When she saw Li Muxia and the others come down, she quickly stepped forward and said, "Muxia, Anran and Lanzhi have also arrived."

The group nodded. Li Anran and Su Lanzhi, unaware of the rift between Li Muxia and Wei Shuyue, happily stepped forward and took Wei Shuyue's arm, saying, "Sister Wei, you didn't sit with us at the last banquet. I thought you weren't close to us anymore."

Wei Shuyue's eyes flickered slightly, and she said with a smile, "How could that be? I still remember promising to give you a pearl bracelet. A while ago, Father wrote to say that he would have collected them soon."

Li Anran: "Really? Sister Wei, you're so kind."

Li Muxia then stepped forward and pulled Li Anran, saying, "Anran, that's enough. Stop bothering your Sister Wei. Didn't you want to see the plum blossoms? Hurry up and go inside."

After the group went inside, they didn't see Ashida in the corner, saying to the two men, "Did you see clearly?"

The man nodded guiltily: "I saw her, the lady in the red dress. Don't worry, I'll definitely get it done for you."
