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

Bai Qingshi and his companions had met with Dongfang Jincheng a few times and trusted them to a certain extent, but not enough to reveal their true intentions. They simply said, "We are going to Longteng Kingdom to take care of some things."

When Dongfang Jincheng heard that the group was going to Longteng Kingdom, he was curious but didn't ask any further questions. Then he realized that the places they would pass through on their way to Longteng Kingdom overlapped with their own secret investigation itinerary, and he felt a little happy.

However, thinking about how anxiously everyone was getting on their way, it seemed that they wouldn't be able to travel together due to time constraints, and I felt a little disappointed.

Realizing the change in his own feelings, Dongfang Jincheng suddenly froze, wondering why he felt lost.

While Dongfang Jincheng was still in a daze, he heard Shangguan Jingye excitedly say, "Master, my junior brother and I went to the blacksmith shop this afternoon to make hot pot utensils. They will be ready in two days, and then we can eat hot pot."

Upon hearing the word "hot pot," Dongfang Jincheng began to brainwash himself again: Yes, it's because of hot pot, because he can't eat hot pot anymore, that's why he feels a bit lost and regretful.

Dongfang Jinxuan also heard about hot pot and immediately looked at Li Muxia with shining eyes: "Brother Xia Mu, when are you planning to eat? Look, we're quite familiar with each other now, aren't we?"

As she spoke, she winked at Li Muxia, as if to say, "You know what I mean."

Li Muxia found Dongfang Jincheng's playful expression amusing and said with a smile, "If nothing unexpected happens, it should be lunchtime in three days. We should be on our way to the next stop by then."

Seeing Li Muxia smiling happily at her fourth brother, Dongfang Jincheng suddenly felt a sense of oppression. She seemed to have never smiled at him like that before, nor had she ever spoken to him so relaxedly. Watching the two chatting happily, he felt inexplicably annoyed.

Seeing the waiter bring the food over, he took the opportunity to interrupt their conversation and said in a slightly stiff tone, "The food is here."

The three people who were chatting about hotpot quickly fell silent when Dongfang Jincheng suddenly interrupted. Looking at Dongfang Jincheng's unusual expression, each of them had different thoughts.

Li Muxia: Are we too noisy? Young Master Long is usually very serious and quiet. Is he angry because he thinks we are too noisy?

Shangguan Jingye: Why are you being so fierce when you're serving the food? Why are you serving it so quickly? We haven't finished talking yet.

Dongfang Jinxuan: Oh no, Third Brother is angry, but why is he angry?

Bai Qingshi raised an eyebrow slightly but said nothing.

Dongfang Jincheng noticed that the atmosphere seemed a bit off and realized his lapse in composure. He coughed lightly and said, "One should not talk while eating."

Everyone was puzzled, but no one said anything. The meal was finished in an awkward atmosphere. Then everyone went back to their rooms to rest.

After taking a shower, Li Muxia was about to lie down on the bed to read a book when she suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in her lower abdomen. It felt dull and a little painful, but not too painful. Just as she was about to take her pulse, a warm current flowed through her.

That familiar feeling...it was her period. Li Muxia was annoyed that she had forgotten something so important. The original owner of this body was already fifteen years old, meaning she could get her period anytime. She remembered that Cui'er had prepared menstrual pads for her. She had even praised Cui'er for being thoughtful back then.

Li Muxia looked at her bundle with a worried expression. It seemed there were no menstrual pads inside. Since she hadn't had her period, she thought she had put them in a box in the carriage.

Li Muxia glanced at her clean underwear, which she had just changed into, but which was stained with red marks. She quickly got up to avoid getting the stains on the bed.

I quickly changed into clean clothes and prepared to go to the carriage to find menstrual pads.

As she was leaving, she cautiously glanced around and, finding no one, quickly went downstairs and slipped into the backyard. Zhu Feng, who was hiding in the shadows, happened to see this and reported it to Dongfang Jincheng.

When Li Muxia took out the menstrual cloth from the carriage and was about to go to the latrine, she saw a tall man standing in the backyard. Upon closer inspection, she realized it was Dongfang Jincheng.

Although he really wanted to rush to the outhouse, it wouldn't be right not to say hello since they'd already run into each other: "Hey, what a coincidence, is Young Master Long also going to the outhouse?"

Dongfang Jincheng certainly wasn't going to the outhouse. He didn't know why he came out. He had heard Zhu Feng's report and knew that she had come out, so he dressed and came out as if possessed.

Hearing Li Muxia's words, he realized that she was going to the outhouse. He couldn't very well follow her, so he made an excuse, saying, "No, I... I just came out for a walk."

After hearing Dongfang Jincheng's words, Li Muxia thought about going to the outhouse to change her menstrual pad and said, "Oh, then you can take your time, I'm going to the outhouse first."

Just as she was about to move, a warm current flowed down her thigh, startling Li Muxia so much that she froze on the spot.

Dongfang Jincheng looked at the person who had been in a hurry to go to the toilet just moments before, but now stood frozen in place with a pale face. He was a little curious and was about to ask when he smelled a bloody odor.

He immediately became anxious and looked at Li Muxia with concern, asking, "Are you injured?"

Li Muxia looked confused when she heard Dongfang Jincheng's words: "No, I'm not injured."

"Impossible, you smell of blood, very strongly!" Dongfang Jincheng retorted seriously.

After hearing this, Li Muxia was speechless and a little embarrassed. She couldn't very well tell him that she was on her period.

But she knew that Dongfang Jincheng was concerned about her. After thinking for a moment, she explained, "Um... um... I did get a little injured, but it's just a cut on the skin, nothing serious. I'm a doctor, I'll apply some medicine when I get back."

After saying that, she glanced at Dongfang Jincheng and saw that he still looked worried, so she quickly made an excuse to leave.

"Ouch, my stomach hurts a bit. I think I ate something bad. Young Master Long, you can take your time walking. I'm going to the outhouse now."

He quickly retreated, and only when he was close enough did he turn around and start running.

Dongfang Jincheng noticed a red stain on Li Muxia's pants as she turned around.

I thought to myself: He really is injured. It must be a leg injury, but judging from how fast he ran, it shouldn't be too serious.

At this moment, Zhu Feng also emerged from the shadows. He was older and knew a bit about these things. He looked at his master with some embarrassment, unsure of how to explain.

Just as Zhu Feng was struggling with his decision, Dongfang Jincheng spoke up. "Zhu Feng, did you see her injured today?"

Upon hearing his master's question, Zhu Feng awkwardly replied, "Master, Miss Li isn't injured, it seems... she is..."

Seeing Zhu Feng's hesitant manner, Dongfang Jincheng impatiently asked, "Zhu Feng, when did you start speaking so haltingly? What is it?"

Zhu Feng, with a look of grim determination, said, "Miss Li is menstruating." He then lowered his head even further, his ears turning bright red.
