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

Not long after Shangguan Jingye left, a maid brought in the medicine. Li Muxia checked it and, after confirming that there was nothing wrong, returned the bowl of medicine to the maid so that she could feed it to Miss Jia.

After making sure Miss Jia was alright, Li Muxia began packing her things to leave.

As soon as Miss Jia saw Li Muxia's movements, she knew he was about to leave and immediately said, "Dr. Xia, Dr. Ye and my father have gone to investigate the murderer. In case the murderer makes another move, why don't you stay and wait for the results with me?"

Ever since Li Muxia learned of the feelings Jia father and daughter had for her, she has been deliberately avoiding Miss Jia.

At this moment, upon hearing Miss Jia's words, he also felt that what she said made some sense. Just now, they did not deliberately avoid others and directly stated the fact that someone had drugged them. They probably alerted the culprit now. Perhaps the murderer behind the scenes, knowing that what they did had been discovered, and considering how much Master Jia loved his daughter, would not let the murderer off easily once caught. It might even lead to a fight to the death.

With that in mind, Li Muxia decided to stay.

Miss Jia was happy for a moment when she saw that Li Muxia had agreed, but then she became a little nervous.

He exchanged a glance with the maid, who understood and withdrew. A moment later, she brought over a pot of tea.

Something also happened on Shangguan Jingye's side. Halfway there, Master Jia was suddenly called away by the steward. He vaguely heard that the shopkeeper had something important to discuss with him. Master Jia looked at Shangguan Jingye apologetically and said, "Doctor Ye, I have some things to take care of here. Please wait for me in the front yard. I'll be right back."

After saying this, he handed him over to a servant and told them to wait in the main courtyard before leaving in a hurry.

As Shangguan Jingye watched the departing Master Jia in a hurry, he suddenly realized that he might have overlooked something: perhaps no one was secretly trying to harm Miss Jia, and maybe the wrong medicine was prescribed from the beginning.

Because one of the herbs in the prescription looks very similar to senna leaves, people often mistake the two herbs for each other. Thinking of this, he couldn't wait to go back and confirm the ingredients in the dregs.

He told the servant to go ahead by himself, and that he would go back to check before heading to the front yard.

The servant, unaware of Master Jia's plan, did not stop him and went to wait in the front yard.

When he arrived, he saw Miss Jia pouring tea for Li Muxia.

Miss Jia's attention was entirely on Li Muxia, and she handed the teacup to Li Muxia.

Before Li Muxia could reach out to take it, she heard Shangguan Jingye's voice: "Junior brother, quick, double-check the dregs."

When Miss Jia saw Shangguan Jingye, she was stunned for a moment, then felt a little guilty. Looking at the teacup in her hand, she didn't know whether to take it back or not.

Before she could react, Shangguan Jingye took the water glass from her and drank it all in one gulp. He had been rushing all the way and was indeed quite thirsty. After finishing, he thanked Miss Jia.

Miss Jia looked at her empty hands and felt terrible. She panicked. That glass of water contained the "Spring Night Moment" drink, which was originally prepared for Li Muxia. Now that Shangguan Jingye had drunk it, what should she do?

Li Muxia didn't notice Miss Jia's unusual behavior. She picked up the water glass that Shangguan Jingye had just drunk from and poured him another glass.

"Senior brother, have you discovered something?"

Shangguan Jingye also drank it all in one gulp without any hesitation; he was really thirsty.

After finishing the drink, he told Li Muxia his guess. Li Muxia quickly went to check the dregs. It was then that Shangguan Jingye noticed that something was wrong with Miss Jia.

Seeing Miss Jia's dejected expression, Shangguan Jingye thought she was feeling unwell again and prepared to take her pulse.

Unexpectedly, Miss Jia reacted very strongly. Seeing Shangguan Jingye's outstretched hand, she was so frightened that she immediately stood up, and due to the excessive force, she knocked over the stool she was sitting on, making a "clanging" sound.

Hearing the sound, Li Muxia turned around and saw Miss Jia looking frightened. At that moment, she realized what had happened.

"Miss Jia, is there something you know that you haven't told us?" she asked wearily.

She had just confirmed that the herb her senior brother mentioned was indeed missing. She knew that Master Jia always got his medicine from Doctor Wang's pharmacy and always had Doctor Wang personally prepare it. Logically speaking, Doctor Wang's medical skills were quite good, and he wouldn't have made a mistake with these two herbs.

Before Miss Jia could answer, Shangguan Jingye felt something was wrong with his body.

As a doctor, he quickly realized he had been drugged. He looked up at Miss Jia in surprise, then at the water glass on the table, and took a deep sniff, but found nothing unusual.

However, there are many colorless and odorless poisons in the world, and his senior uncle had made many of them. Thinking of this, he said to Miss Jia with a face full of anger: "You actually put poison in the water, how despicable."

Miss Jia was also at a loss. Seeing that Shangguan Jingye had already reacted, and hearing his accusations, she felt both scared and ashamed.

Li Muxia also noticed her senior brother's unusual behavior and quickly went to check on him. She discovered that Shangguan Jingye had been poisoned with aphrodisiac, and his expression turned cold. This was meant to be used against her, and her senior brother had taken the bullet for her.

She said sternly, "Miss Jia, the antidote."

Looking into Li Muxia's sharp eyes, Miss Jia could no longer be afraid. Being treated like this by the person she loved filled her with heartache. With a sob in her voice, she said, "There is no antidote. Father did not give me the antidote."

Dongfang Jincheng would come to see Li Muxia every night, and he came on time tonight as well. He didn't see that familiar figure in Li Muxia's courtyard, so he guessed that she must have gone to Miss Jia's place. Sure enough, he was right.

After observing from the tree for a while, he also noticed something was wrong. Without thinking of anything else, he flew over to Li Muxia and, seeing Shangguan Jingye's appearance, realized that he had been poisoned by aphrodisiac.

Li Muxia was startled by the sudden appearance of the person. After seeing the person's appearance, she was somewhat surprised: This person has come to the Jia family again. It seems that he really came to find out secrets.

"Brother Long?"

Dongfang Jincheng frowned slightly upon hearing Li Muxia's address to him, but now was not the time to dwell on such matters. He said coldly, "Doctor Ye has been poisoned by aphrodisiacs. Do you need my help?"

Li Muxia felt a moment of emotion when she looked at Dongfang Jincheng. This man always appeared when she needed him and helped her. It would be a lie to say she wasn't moved.

Despite his physical discomfort, Shangguan Jingye spoke with difficulty, "Miss Jia has no antidote. We can only use silver needles to force out the poison now. Junior brother, I'll explain now, and you can perform the procedure." He had to detoxify her quickly; he felt he was about to lose his mind.
