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

When Li Muxia arrived at the front yard, before she even got close, she heard a master of ceremonies loudly announcing the gift list.

Upon arriving, all eyes turned to Li Muxia. Under such scrutiny, Li Muxia suddenly became shy, lowered her head, and quickly moved behind Shangguan Wanyun.

Ever since Dongfang Jincheng saw Li Muxia, his gaze has never left her.

The old general smiled with satisfaction as he looked at Dongfang Jincheng.

It seems that the prince truly loves his Mu Xia.

The master of ceremonies read out the gift list, while the matchmaker kept praising Dongfang Jincheng and Li Muxia, exaggerating their abilities to the point of being unparalleled.

Even with her thick skin, Li Muxia couldn't resist such praise. She kept her head down and didn't look up.

The master of ceremonies' chanting lasted for a full hour before stopping.

The old general quickly had someone serve tea to the official in charge of etiquette.

The master of ceremonies was truly thirsty and began to drink in large gulps. This was the longest list of gifts he had ever recited, and he felt as if his lips were worn thin.

The rest was the usual engagement process, with the matchmaker communicating with Shangguan Wanyun. Li Muxia stayed quietly behind Shangguan Wanyun throughout.

Seeing that the two had set their wedding date, Li Muxia was still a little dazed. She thought she would not get married until she was over twenty, but she did not expect to get married at the age of seventeen.

The timing was chosen by Dongfang Jin to prevent any unforeseen complications. He was worried that if it was too early, the old general and his family would disagree, so he chose a date that was neither too close nor too far away. Otherwise, he really intended to marry her today.

The old general hesitated when he heard the time. He had originally planned to keep Li Muxia until she was eighteen, but seeing Li Muxia's shy expression, he didn't say anything in the end.

And so, the marriage between Li Muxia and Dongfang Jincheng was settled.

After everything was over, it was already dark. Li Muxia felt dazed and confused all day, and even lying in bed, she still felt a little unreal.

Hong'er and Cui'er were also very excited today, as if they were the ones getting married.

Looking at Li Muxia lying on the bed, Hong'er said excitedly, "I knew our young lady was the best, and only someone like Prince Rui is worthy of her."

Cui'er replied proudly, "Of course! Our young lady is truly like a fairy from heaven. To be honest, the matchmaker's praise today was a bit too conservative."

Watching the two of them chatter away, Li Muxia laughed and said, "Alright, if you keep praising her, your young lady is going to ascend to heaven on the spot."

Hong'er and Cui'er covered their mouths and giggled.

"Alright, you must be tired today, go back and get some rest."

After chasing the two away, Li Muxia thought about what had happened today, and couldn't help but smile.

Just as Li Muxia was about to go to bed, someone suddenly walked out from behind the bed curtains.

"Miss Li, are you so happy today because you're thinking about marrying Prince Rui?"

Li Muxia was startled by the sudden sound. Upon seeing who it was, she felt goosebumps rise all over her body.

"Nangong Huaiyuan, what are you doing here?"

Nangong Huaiyuan approached Li Muxia step by step, while Li Muxia retreated step by step.

"What, do you think the guards of the General's Mansion can stop me, or the two Shadow Pavilion guards hiding in the shadows can stop me?"

Li Muxia had nowhere to retreat, and she was terrified as she listened to Nangong Huaiyuan's words.

Qingyun and Jingtai, who were hiding in the shadows, saw that Nangong Huaiyuan had exposed them and stopped hiding, appearing directly beside Li Muxia.

Seeing the two people break through the window, Li Muxia's heart was pounding, but she felt relieved when she saw the familiar totem markings on their bodies.

They are from the Shadow Pavilion.

The two men immediately adopted an attack stance as soon as they entered.

Qingyun: "Prince Huai, it is not the act of a gentleman to break into a woman's boudoir in the middle of the night."

Nangong Huaiyuan continued to stare intently at Li Muxia, and casually said, "This king is no gentleman."

Jingtai: "Then don't blame us for being impolite."

Nangong Huaiyuan: "I advise you not to act rashly, otherwise it will alert outsiders and damage Miss Li's reputation."

Jingtai and Qingyun exchanged a glance, truly daring not to move again. They merely maintained their attack stances.

Seeing this, Li Muxia asked, "What exactly do you want?"

Nangong Huaiyuan: "Does Miss Li not know what I intend to do?"

Li Muxia leaned against the wall, feeling her nerves taut. Looking at Nangong Huaiyuan, who was only half a meter away from her, she was genuinely worried that he would kidnap her again.

Seeing Li Muxia's nervous expression, Nangong Huaiyuan suddenly laughed: "Alright, I won't tease you anymore. I just came to see you so you wouldn't forget me."

After saying that, he just left.

Li Muxia felt like she had encountered a lunatic. But there was nothing she could do.

Qingyun and Jingtai watched Nangong Huaiyuan walk away warily, remaining vigilant until they were sure he was really gone, then they knelt down to beg for forgiveness.

"I have failed in my duty, please forgive me, Miss."

Li Muxia came to her senses and looked at the two people kneeling on the ground, saying, "What are you doing? Get up."

Seeing the two of them get up, Li Muxia asked, "Did Dong, cough, Feng Yuhan send you?"

The two nodded.

Li Muxia then asked, "When did you start following me?"

The two exchanged a glance, unsure whether they should speak.

Finally, Qingyun said, "This, Miss, can ask the Pavilion Master yourself next time you see him."

Li Muxia knew that they, as bodyguards, had rules, so she didn't make things difficult for them.

However, he was still very curious about where the two usually hid, and whether they were watching him the whole time he went to the toilet, took a shower, or changed clothes.

"Um, are you guys really watching me all day?"

Qingyun replied, "Miss, I usually hide in a secluded place, and I'm generally no more than twenty meters away from you. This way, if there's any danger, it's easier for us to appear by your side in time."

Upon hearing this, Li Muxia awkwardly asked, "So you all watch my every move?"

Understanding the implication in Li Muxia's words, Qingyun quickly explained, "Don't worry, Miss, I will absolutely not look at anything I shouldn't."

Upon hearing this, Li Muxia breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing that Li Muxia had no further questions, Qingyun said, "Since Miss has nothing else to say, I will take my leave now."

Li Muxia stopped the two who were about to leave and said, "It's so cold outside, you're not going to stay out here all night, are you?"

Knowing that Li Muxia was worried about them, he was touched and said, "Don't worry, Miss, we're used to it."

After saying that, the two disappeared from the spot.

Li Muxia frowned slightly, seemingly lost in thought.

The next day, Li Muxia went out and deliberately looked around, but she really couldn't see where the two were hiding.

However, she still arranged for Cui'er and Hong'er to prepare a room in the west wing.

The two were quite puzzled as to why Miss was suddenly cleaning the house, but Li Muxia made up a random excuse to appease them.

He then went on a house call; if he didn't go today, those ladies would probably come knocking again.
