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

Shangguan Jingye understood Li Muxia's intention. Seeing Huang Qingling's incredulous expression, he decided to add fuel to the fire and retaliate against Li Muxia. With the air of a playboy, he said, "Isn't it all because you're pursuing the young lady of the General's Mansion? I heard she's a stunning beauty, but who knew she'd be so hard to win over?"

Huang Qingling couldn't listen to any longer. She looked at the three of them with a pained expression and took her leave, tears welling up in her eyes as she went.

Li Muxia and Shangguan Jingye exchanged a smile after the person had walked away. Good teamwork.

Even so, Li Muxia and the others continued to go to Nancheng for free medical consultations every day, and would also visit Hu Zi's family to check on Hu Zi's father's recovery.

During this time, the whole city learned about Li Muxia and his team's free clinic. Every day, people from all over the city came to see them, mostly poor people. So, these three, Li Muxia and his apprentice, were busy again these past few days. Zhang Lizheng also helped the three of them receive the patients who came for the free clinic every day.

Dongfang Jincheng was also very busy, visiting different places every day and obtaining some clues. Of course, they also heard about the news of Li Muxia and his apprentice's free medical consultation.

And so, both sides went about their own business without any interaction.

Five days passed quickly. Early in the morning, Li Muxia and her two apprentices arrived at Hu Zi's house to remove the stitches from Hu Zi's father's clothes.

Tiger's father and his family were ready and waiting at their doorstep. The village head's family and the neighbors also came to Tiger's father's house to watch the stitch removal process.

When Li Muxia and her two disciples arrived, they saw Hu Zi looking around at the door. Upon seeing the three of them, he quickly called out, "Doctor Shi and the others have arrived."

Then a group of people came out of the door. Among them were the village head's family, Hu Zi's family, and several patients who had been seen a few days ago. Even Hu Zi's father came out with them. He still couldn't walk very well, but he could already get out of bed and move around.

A group of people approached Li Muxia and her two companions, greeting them warmly. Yesterday, they had heard from the village head that after removing the stitches from Tiger's father's stitches today, Doctor Shi and his two companions would be leaving Pinggu County.

So people from the street came to Hu Zi's house early in the morning with thank-you gifts, and as a result, Hu Zi's house was immediately surrounded by a huge crowd.

It was only after Zhang Lizheng intervened that a few representatives were chosen to wait at Hu Zi's house on their behalf to thank Li Muxia and the other two.

Li Muxia and her two companions were ushered to Hu Zi's house by everyone. They saw that Hu Zi's small yard was now filled with baskets of things. Upon closer inspection, they saw eggs, steamed buns, and fruit.

Seeing Li Muxia and the other two staring in shock at the courtyard, Zhang Lizheng quickly explained, "These are just some small tokens of appreciation from our neighbors."

Upon hearing this, Bai Qingshi quickly declined, saying, "Zhang Lizheng, please let everyone take these things back. Our three disciples and I are providing free medical services and will not accept anything. Besides, we need to continue our journey, and we can't take these things with us. We appreciate everyone's kindness, but we don't need the gifts."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lizheng was somewhat troubled, but he understood what Bai Qingshi meant. It was indeed inconvenient to carry these things while traveling. He then glanced down at the things on the ground, picked out a basket of walnuts, and handed it to Bai Qingshi, saying, "Doctor Shi, you can keep this basket of walnuts. I'll have everyone take the rest back."

Seeing this, Bai Qingshi stopped refusing and let Shangguan Jingye accept the walnuts. Then he followed Tiger's father to the prepared room. Only the three of them went in; the rest of the people waited in the courtyard.

Li Muxia looked around. The room was clean and relatively dry. After helping Tiger's father sit down, she took out the tools for removing stitches from the medicine box. After washing and disinfecting her hands with the cooled boiled water that Tiger's mother had prepared in advance, she began removing the stitches.

Outside, the brothers Dongfang Jincheng and Dongfang Jinxuan also arrived at the South District today, which is the last place they want to visit.

When the two arrived at the South Street area, they saw several villagers carrying baskets of agricultural products passing by from time to time. Dongfang Jinxuan stopped one of them out of curiosity and asked him what was going on. He learned that they had given things to Li Muxia and the other two, but they refused to accept them. The village head told them to go to Hu Zi's house to claim the products and take them home.

The two of them also heard that Li Muxia was going to remove the stitches from Hu Zi's father today, and out of curiosity, they asked around for Hu Zi's address.

When they arrived, Li Muxia and the others were still having their stitches removed. Seeing that there were quite a few people in the courtyard, they went up to inquire. Zhang Lizheng thought that the two had come for a free clinic. After looking at the two, he saw that they were both very handsome and wearing clothes made of fine fabric. He said to them, "You two are late. Doctor Shi and the others are leaving today. You should go to the clinic for treatment."

Just as Dongfang Jinxuan was about to explain, Dongfang Jincheng stopped him and shook his head.

At this moment, Li Muxia opened the door and came out. Everyone's attention turned to the room. They saw Li Muxia and the other two come out, with Tiger's father following behind them.

Tiger's family was the first to greet them. Seeing Tiger's father's condition, Tiger's family knelt down before Li Muxia and the other two, saying as they knelt, "Thank you, Doctor Shi, Doctor Ye, and Doctor Xia. You are truly miracle doctors!"

Li Muxia smiled and helped Hu Zi's mother up, saying, "Aunt Zhang, get up quickly. This is what we should do."

After helping Hu Zi's mother up, Zhang Lizheng also came to Bai Qingshi's side, took Bai Qingshi's hand and said, "Dr. Shi, thank you so much for these past few days. I really don't want you to leave."

Bai Qingshi exchanged a few polite words. At this moment, Shangguan Jingye saw Dongfang Jincheng in the crowd and quickly stepped forward to greet him: "Brother, thank you for saving my junior sister. I didn't expect to have the chance to see you again."

Li Muxia also noticed this and came to Dongfang Jincheng's side. She cupped her hands and said, "Thank you for saving my life, young master. I don't know how to repay you."

Dongfang Jincheng looked at the two of them and cupped his hands in thanks, saying, "It was nothing, no need to thank me."

At this moment, Bai Qingshi also came over, and Li Muxia quickly introduced him: "Master, this is the young master who saved me a few days ago."

Upon hearing this, Bai Qingshi looked at Dongfang Jincheng with great gratitude: "Thank you for saving my life, young master. I am Shi Qing, a physician from Jishi Manor." As he spoke, he took out a jade pendant from his pocket and handed it to Dongfang Jincheng. "This is an identity token from Jishi Manor. If you need anything in the future, you can take this token to Jishi Manor, and I will do my best to help you. May I ask how I should address you, young master?"

Dongfang Jincheng accepted the jade pendant. It would be a lie to say he wasn't happy. This was the token of Jishi Manor, which was essentially a life-saving charm. As long as you had a breath left, they could save you.

He immediately accepted the offer without hesitation, bowing respectfully in thanks. Hearing Bai Qingshi's self-introduction, he knew he was using an alias.

"My surname is Long, and I am the third child in my family." After introducing himself, he didn't forget to introduce Dongfang Jinxuan beside him, "This is my fourth brother."

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Dongfang Jincheng and Dongfang Jinxuan excused themselves and left, followed by Li Muxia and the others. They had already spent a considerable amount of time in Pinggu County and were preparing to leave.
