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

Lord Su looked at Ashida kneeling on the ground and asked, "Prince Ashida, are you really willing to marry Lanzhi as your principal wife?"

Ashida was naturally unwilling, but for now she had to deceive them. Once the person was in her hands and returned to the tribe, she would be in charge.

Thinking of this, he nodded and swore, "I, Ashida, swear to God that I will marry Miss Su as my wife and cherish her for the rest of my life."

Li Muxia looked at Lord Su in disbelief and asked, "Uncle Su, he is the murderer who hurt Lanzhi. How could you hand Lanzhi over to such a person? You will harm Lanzhi."

Lord Su sighed, not answering Li Muxia's question, but looking at Ashida and saying, "In that case, Prince Ashida, prepare the betrothal gifts."

After saying that, he was about to leave when Li Muxia walked up to Lord Su and stopped him, questioning, "Lord Su, what do you mean? Lanzhi is your daughter."

Lord Su looked at Li Muxia in front of him. Although he was not happy, she was, after all, a person from the Protector General's Mansion, and he could not afford to offend her. He patiently said, "Miss Li, why don't you come with me to see Lanzhi? She will agree with my approach."

Li Muxia shook her head: "Impossible, absolutely impossible."

The two approached Su Lanzhi, and upon seeing Lord Su, Su Lanzhi snuggled closer to Li Anran.

Li Anran asked, "Sister, what's going on here...?"

Lord Su looked at Su Lanzhi and said, "Lanzhi, now that things have happened, Prince Ashida has already agreed to marry you as his principal wife."

Upon hearing this, Su Lanzhi suddenly struggled to crawl onto the bed and said to Lord Su, "Father, I won't marry him, I don't want to marry him."

Lord Su said with some anger, "Lanzhi, now is not the time for you to be willful. You have already consummated your marriage. If you don't marry him, who else do you want to marry?"

Su Lanzhi looked at Lord Su with a firm gaze and said, word by word, "Even if I die, I will not marry him."

Upon hearing this, Lord Su slapped Su Lanzhi across the face, making her already swollen face even redder.

A trickle of blood flowed from Su Lanzhi's lips. Li Muxia quickly stepped forward and hugged Su Lanzhi, asking, "Lord Su, what are you doing?"

Lord Su ignored Li Muxia and looked at Su Lanzhi with a disappointed expression, saying, "You wretched girl, how can you be so selfish? Do you know that if others find out that you had that kind of thing with a man, not only will your reputation be ruined, but the Su family will also be disgraced. How will your brothers and sisters hold their heads high in the future? Which good family will dare to marry your sisters?"

After being slapped by Lord Su, Su Lanzhi was utterly disappointed in the Su family. She raised her head, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, and said coldly, "You don't care about my feelings, so why should I care about what you will do?"

Upon hearing this, Lord Su pointed at Su Lanzhi with trembling hands: "Fine, fine, Su Lanzhi, you've grown wings now. Fine, even if you don't care about the Su family, what about your mother? Do you want your mother to die without peace?"

Sure enough, Su Lanzhi's attitude changed when her mother was mentioned.

In the end, Su Lanzhi still agreed to marry Ashida, no matter how much Li Muxia and Li Anran tried to persuade her.

Lord Su took Su Lanzhi away, and Li Muxia could never forget the look Su Lanzhi gave him before getting into the carriage.

Although he was smiling, his eyes were filled with despair.

Ashida looked at Li Muxia with a smug expression and said, "Prince Rui, Miss Li, would you like to come in for a cup of tea?"

Looking at Ashida's smug expression, Li Muxia said angrily, "Don't be too smug. I will definitely find the evidence."

After saying that, he took Li Anran and left first.

Ashida glanced at their vests and sneered, "Evidence? So what if you find it? By the time you do, you might already be mine."

Dongfang Jincheng and Dongfang Jinxuan escorted the person back to the General's Mansion. They wanted to say something more, but seeing Li Muxia's bad mood, they decided to give up.

However, Li Muxia stopped him: "Your Highness, may I speak to you in private?"

Dongfang Jincheng nodded. He followed Li Muxia to a corner.

Li Anran and Dongfang Jinxuan stood at the door watching the two.

Li Muxia: "Your Highness, I want to find out the truth, and I need your help."

Dongfang Jincheng: "The Su family has already dropped the matter. Do you still want to investigate?"

Li Muxia nodded: "Yes, I can't let Lan Zhi be insulted for nothing."

Dongfang Jincheng: "Even if the person behind it is found out, if the parties involved do not pursue the matter, the outcome will not change."

Li Muxia: "I know, I will advise Lanzhi. If the perpetrators go unpunished, does that mean that women will have to suffer in silence if this happens again? That's not fair."

Dongfang Jincheng sighed: "There is no such thing as absolute fairness. However, if you want to investigate, I will help you."

Li Muxia looked at Dongfang Jincheng gratefully: "Thank you."

Seeing Li Muxia's tears, Dongfang Jincheng tenderly wiped them away and said gently, "Why are you being so polite with me?"

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Seeing this from a distance, Li Anran's eyes widened, and she asked, "Prince Rui and my sister, they, they..."

Dongfang Jinxuan turned Li Anran's head around: "Alright, don't look at what you shouldn't see."

After returning to the manor, Li Anran remained hesitant, glancing at Li Muxia every now and then.

Li Muxia couldn't take it anymore and asked, "An Ran, just ask whatever you want to ask."

Upon hearing this, Li Anran was overjoyed and blurted out, "Sister, you and Prince Rui, are you two...?"

While speaking, he made an ambiguous gesture.

Li Muxia nodded, her face slightly flushed: "Didn't you see everything?"

Li Anran exclaimed in surprise, "Sister, you really..."

Li Muxia quickly covered Li Anran's mouth: "Keep your voice down, do you have to shout it so everyone can hear?"

Li Anran covered her mouth and said in a much softer voice, "Sister, aren't you going to tell Grandpa?"

Li Muxia shook her head: "It's still far from certain, let's talk about it later."

Li Anran: "Oh, isn't that inappropriate?"

Li Muxia looked at Li Anran warningly and said, "You're not allowed to tell anyone."

General Li happened to be passing by and overheard this. He smiled and asked, "What's going on? Why are you being so mysterious?"

Li Anran glanced at Li Muxia, rolled her eyes, and said, "Grandpa, my sister has a secret. You should ask her. I'm going back now."

Seeing Li Anran run away, and facing the old general's questioning gaze, Li Muxia said with a dry laugh, "Grandpa, it's nothing serious. Well, I'm quite tired today, so I'll go back and rest first. Grandpa, get some rest early. We have to attend the palace banquet tomorrow. Goodbye, Grandpa."

With that, he slipped away in a flash.

The old general looked at the two of them, smiled, and shook his head.
