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

After seeing Shangguan Jingye return to the inn alone, Dongfang Jincheng went to the Jia residence.

He was hiding in the tree watching Li Muxia. Seeing Li Muxia painfully eating the pastries Miss Jia brought, yet unable to bear refusing them, he found Li Muxia increasingly adorable. A smile unconsciously crept onto his lips.

Zhu Feng, standing to the side, was utterly shocked. Was this still their stern and unsmiling master?

Li Muxia's mind raced. How could she avoid the pastries without hurting Miss Jia?

Oh right, yoga! She could teach Miss Jia yoga; it would be good exercise and a way to pass the time. Most importantly, it could distract Miss Jia from him. How could she forget something so important?

Thinking of this, Li Muxia said to Miss Jia, "Miss Jia, actually, the main reason you got sick this time is that your resistance and immunity are too poor."

Miss Jia looked at Li Muxia with a puzzled expression and asked, "Dr. Xia, what do resistance and immunity mean?"

Li Muxia then realized that she had used modern terms, and quickly explained in language that people in this era could understand: "It means that your body's resistance to the worms has weakened, so you are easily infected by them and get sick."

Hearing this, Miss Jia understood a bit and asked anxiously, "Will I still be infected in the future?" She was truly afraid of contracting this strange disease again. "Dr. Xia, is there any way to prevent me from being infected in the future?"

When Miss Jia asked, Li Muxia smiled and replied, "Of course. Although we can't guarantee 100% that we won't get infected, we can reduce the chances of infection."

Upon hearing this, Miss Jia quickly asked, "What method is it?" Even though it could only reduce the risk of infection, she was very eager to know.

Li Muxia said, "There are many ways to improve immunity, such as eating a regular diet, eating more vegetables and fruits, maintaining a regular lifestyle, and most importantly, exercising regularly."

Hearing the first two points, Miss Jia thought they were easy to do, but she didn't quite understand the need for more exercise. She had heard her brother say that martial arts could improve health, so did he mean she should learn martial arts?

He asked with a puzzled look, "Dr. Xia, it's easy to maintain a regular diet and sleep schedule, but does 'more exercise' mean learning martial arts?"

Li Muxia explained with a smile: "There are many ways to exercise, and martial arts is one of them. But for girls, I have a better way to exercise, and it's easy to learn. It can not only strengthen your body, but also shape your figure."

When Miss Jia heard that it could sculpt her figure, two blushes appeared on her face. Being told this to her face by a man was still a little embarrassing. However, she was already tempted. After all, what woman doesn't love beauty?

However, he was still quite worried that he wouldn't be able to learn it. After all, she had been pampered by her family all her life, and she rarely exercised or even walked.

"Um, is it difficult to learn?" Miss Jia asked timidly.

Seeing that Miss Jia was interested, Li Muxia quickly said, "It's not difficult, it's very simple."

Then, the two went to the courtyard, where Li Muxia demonstrated the yoga routine she had previously taught Li Anran.

It was indeed very simple, and the movements were not difficult at all. After watching it once, Miss Jia took the initiative to try it out.

She could keep up with most of Li Muxia's movements, but she was still a little unskilled at some of them. Li Muxia saw that Miss Jia's movements were not quite standard and went forward to help her.

She stood behind Miss Jia, one hand on Miss Jia's arm and the other supporting Miss Jia's calf, correcting her posture. Their bodies were very close. To outsiders, the position certainly looked somewhat ambiguous.

Miss Jia realized that Li Muxia was touching her, and her face turned bright red, her heart pounding uncontrollably.

She had always admired Li Muxia, and now, feeling his warm breath on the back of her ear, her heart raced. A tingling sensation from the back of her neck coursed through her body like an electric current, and her breathing became erratic.

Li Muxia had forgotten that she was a woman disguised as a man. She did not realize that her current behavior was already considered excessive in this conservative ancient era.

Seeing that Li Muxia was safe, Dongfang Jincheng, who was in the tree, was about to leave.

However, when I heard her talk about yoga, I stayed out of curiosity.

Seeing their pose, I couldn't help but blush as I recalled practicing yoga with Li Muxia.

Li Muxia also sensed something was wrong. The maidservant that Miss Jia had brought was looking at the two of them with a shocked expression.

Seeing the maid's expression, Li Muxia realized that her actions were indeed a bit bold for these ancient people.

He quickly released her hand, bowed his head and said, "Miss Jia, I apologize. I have overstepped my bounds. I had no intention of offending you, please forgive me."

The moment Li Muxia released her hand, Miss Jia was still somewhat disappointed. Hearing Li Muxia's words, she blushed and whispered, "No, it's alright. I know Dr. Xia is a gentleman." After saying that, she looked up at Li Muxia, and their eyes met. She quickly lowered her head again and said somewhat flusteredly, "Um, I... I have some things to attend to, so I won't bother Dr. Xia any longer."

After saying that, he hurriedly bowed and left.

Li Muxia watched Miss Jia's quick steps and patted her chest: "Thank goodness, there was no unnecessary misunderstanding."

Seeing Miss Jia leave, Dongfang Jincheng flew up to Li Muxia, startling her as she was about to turn and go inside. Li Muxia nearly threw a punch, but thankfully she saw who it was in in time.

He patted his chest and joked, "Young Master Long, you're likely to get beaten up if you show up like this."

Dongfang Jincheng also saw Li Muxia's hand about to swing, and smiled helplessly, thinking to himself: With your little fist, you can't hurt me.

What he said was, "Dr. Xia is right. I'll definitely let you know in advance next time I come out."

Li Muxia didn't think much of it and asked, "Young Master Long, is there something you need to see me about?"

Dongfang Jincheng was now somewhat regretful. He had acted impulsively, wanting only to talk to Li Muxia. He realized he hadn't spoken to her face-to-face for several days, so he couldn't resist flying to her side. Now, with Li Muxia asking him this, he really hadn't prepared any words.

However, he casually remarked, "I was just passing by the Jia family mansion and thought I'd come in to see you."

Li Muxia looked at Dongfang Jincheng suspiciously, thinking to herself, "Just passing by? Could this guy be trying to find out the secrets of the Jia family?"

After all, the Jia family has a very large business in Jiangling County, otherwise they wouldn't be the richest family in Jiangling. Could it be that the Jia family's business has affected the Long family's business?

"That shouldn't be the case. People usually gather information at night, when it's quiet and peaceful. It's broad daylight now. If Young Master Long isn't stupid, he wouldn't come to the Jia mansion at this hour."

Thinking about this, Li Muxia suddenly found her own thoughts somewhat laughable. What Young Master Long was doing at the Jia mansion had nothing to do with her; she was really meddling in things that didn't concern her.

Looking at the changes in Li Muxia's expression, Dongfang Jincheng couldn't help but find it amusing. What was this girl thinking now?
