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

Li Muxia asked his senior brother to wait for him downstairs for a while, then rushed upstairs to draw blueprints.

When she came down, she saw Shangguan Jingye and her master still discussing sewing, so she quickly went over and said, "Master, when my senior brother and I come back later, we'll bring you two catties of pork so you can practice your sewing skills."

After saying goodbye, he went shopping with his senior brother.

Li Muxia strolled around the streets, looking here and there, and of course, she didn't forget to inquire about the blacksmith shop. Along the way, she explained to Shangguan Jingye what distillation was, as well as the benefits and production methods of medical alcohol. Shangguan Jingye listened with wide eyes.

Finally, at the third blacksmith shop that Li Muxia and Shangguan Jingye asked about, the owner, Blacksmith Wang, accepted their order.

Li Muxia's still was a modified version of a rose hydrosol still she had bought out of curiosity during her university years. It had a unique and somewhat complex design. The first few blacksmith shops rejected it as soon as they saw the blueprints.

When Wang the blacksmith accepted the gift, she was quite pleased. She then handed over to him her drawings of surgical tools such as scalpels and hemostatic forceps, as well as modern suture needles.

Wang the blacksmith was the best in the county. Although he had never done these things before, he wanted to try it out, so he took them all on and asked the two men to come and pick them up in five days.

After finishing these tasks, Li Muxia felt much more relaxed. After what happened with Hu Zi's father yesterday, she deeply felt the benefits of modern medicine and wanted to apply the knowledge she had learned in modern times to benefit the people.

The two strolled along the street for a while, at the busiest time of day. Looking at the bustling, quaint street, Li Muxia suddenly felt a sense of unreality.

Although I've been here for a while now and have gradually adapted to my current life, I still sometimes feel a sense of unreality.

Just as Li Muxia was still sighing, a carriage approached from afar. The driver shouted, "Get out of the way! The carriage is out of control!" He pulled on the reins, trying to control the runaway horse.

Pedestrians quickly scrambled to the sides, and vendors hastily moved their stalls back, making the street somewhat crowded. Fortunately, the street was relatively wide, otherwise a stampede could have easily occurred. Shangguan Jingye also quickly pulled Li Muxia aside.

Suddenly, a six or seven-year-old boy was pushed out of the way and fell in the middle of the road. The boy's mother rushed over and hugged him. She stood up and looked up at the approaching carriage. She was so frightened that she froze on the spot, her fear growing larger and larger on her face.

Seeing this, Li Muxia, not knowing where the courage came from, lunged at the two people on the street and forcefully pushed them into the crowd, but she herself fell to the ground.

Everyone looked at Li Muxia lying on the ground, then glanced at the galloping horse. In their hearts, they had all sentenced Li Muxia to death. The street fell silent for a moment, the only sound the clatter of hooves.

By the time Shangguan Jingye reacted, Li Muxia had already pounced on the two of them. He didn't know martial arts and there was no time to save him.

Meanwhile, Prince Rui and the Fourth Prince, who were having dinner in a private room on the second floor of a restaurant, also saw this scene through the window.

Seeing the out-of-control carriage about to rush towards Li Muxia and the others, Prince Rui flashed onto the carriage, snatched the reins from the driver's hand, and pulled with his internal force. The horse neighed and raised its front hooves high.

When Li Muxia turned and looked up, she saw the horse's hooves raised high. Only then did Li Muxia feel fear. Terrified, she quickly covered her head and lay back down on the ground.

Li Muxia lay on the ground for a long time, but instead of feeling the pain of being trampled by horses' hooves, she heard enthusiastic applause and cheers erupting all around her.

Li Muxia raised her head in confusion, glanced at the horse's hooves still kicking back and forth at her feet, and quickly withdrew her legs in fright.

Shangguan Jingye also realized what was happening and quickly stepped forward to help Li Muxia up. He then turned around and bowed to the handsome man in the carriage to express his gratitude.

"Thank you for your help, brother."

After saying that, he gestured for Li Muxia to quickly express her gratitude.

Li Muxia realized what was happening and quickly bowed, thanking him, "Thank you for saving me, young master." Because Prince Rui and the Fourth Prince were disguised, Li Muxia hadn't recognized them.

The mother and son who had just been rescued also quickly knelt down and kowtowed to Li Muxia and Prince Rui, Dongfang Jincheng. Their voices still carried the fear of surviving a disaster. "We thank you both for saving our lives."

At this moment, Dongfang Jincheng also recognized Li Muxia and Shangguan Jingye. He really didn't expect to meet Li Muxia in Pinggu County. Moreover, thinking about how she risked her own safety to save people, his doubts grew. He really couldn't understand Li Muxia anymore.

He handed the reins back to the still-stunned coachman and jumped off the carriage. He tossed out a "No need," and returned to his private room in the restaurant. Dongfang Jinxuan, who had also witnessed his third brother's rescue from the window, rushed to the door to greet him upon his return.

The coachman also realized what was happening. He glanced at the reins in his hand and saw that they were emitting a chilling aura. Without thinking, he kowtowed in the direction Dongfang Jincheng had left to express his gratitude.

Seeing that Dongfang Jincheng had left, Li Muxia and Shangguan Jingye did not linger. Instead, they quickly turned around to help the mother and son who were still kowtowing.

The people sitting in the carriage also came out at this time. A maid of about fifteen or sixteen years old helped a young lady wearing a light green dress get off the carriage.

Because the carriage had gone out of control, both women looked rather disheveled. Their hair ornaments were askew, as if they would fall off at the slightest movement, and a few strands of hair had fallen across their foreheads. The maidservant helped them tidy up, and then the two women came to Shangguan Jingye's side. Huang Qingling bowed slightly to Shangguan Jingye and said softly, "This humble girl, Huang Qingling, thanks you for saving my life, young master."

She had heard the noise outside while inside the carriage, and now she mistakenly thought that the person who saved her was Shangguan Jingye.

Shangguan Jingye turned around and saw the woman thanking him. He realized he had misunderstood and quickly explained, "It wasn't me who saved you, Miss. It was the young master who went in earlier who did it."

Hearing Shangguan Jingye's words, Huang Qingling looked up and saw his handsome face. Having lived in Pinggu County, this was the first time she had ever seen such a good-looking man. She was momentarily stunned.

It wasn't until Li Muxia, standing nearby, saw Miss Huang staring infatuatedly at her senior brother, Shangguan Jingye, that she shook her head helplessly. Her senior brother's face was too eye-catching; she'd noticed many girls glancing their way while they were shopping earlier. Now, he'd captivated Miss Huang as well.

Li Muxia raised her hand and waved it in front of Huang Qingling's eyes, interrupting her, "Miss Huang, we weren't the ones who saved you, but shouldn't we give everyone an explanation for the damage caused on the street today?"

The surrounding people began to whisper among themselves, but although they were all very angry, no one raised their voices in condemnation, because Huang Qingling was the daughter of the magistrate of Pinggu County.
