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

The two arrived at Miss Jia's bedroom, and Li Muxia took Miss Jia's hand and placed it on her chest.

Feeling the softness in her hand, Miss Jia seemed to be electrocuted, quickly withdrew her hand, and stared blankly at Li Muxia, a tear still on her face, as if she had been frightened.

Li Muxia shook her head with a wry smile and said, "Now you know why it's impossible between us."

Seeing that Miss Jia was still in a daze, Li Muxia thought she should give her some space to process it on her own.

Miss Jia is now heartbroken. The person she likes turns out to be a woman, and she even went so far as to drug him to get him. She never expected that it was all a joke. She is truly the biggest joke in the world.

Outside, Master Jia summoned his guards. Shangguan Jingye insisted on reporting the matter to the authorities. Seeing that his soft approach was ineffective, Master Jia planned to forcibly subdue the three of them and then find a way to frame Li Muxia and the others. By then, even if they reported the matter to the authorities, it would be useless, as they had neither evidence nor connections, and no one would believe them.

Hearing the commotion outside, Miss Jia, without even having time to grieve, rushed outside and heard Li Muxia's cold voice: "Master Jia, are you planning to resolve this by force?"

Master Jia dropped the pretense and sneered, "Hmph, you won't listen to reason, so you'll have to suffer the consequences. Do you think you few outsiders can cause any trouble in Jiangling County? Since I've given you a way out and you won't take it, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Upon hearing Master Jia's words, Miss Jia quickly stepped forward and said, "Father, let them go."

Master Jia looked at Miss Jia in surprise: "Yu'er, what are you saying? If we let them go now, they will definitely report us to the authorities. What if that affects your reputation?"

Miss Jia did not answer Master Jia's question, but instead said to Li Muxia and the others, "Doctor Ye, Doctor Xia, I can ask my father to let you leave, but on the condition that you promise me you will not report to the authorities."

Shangguan Jingye said coldly, "Don't even think about it."

Miss Jia was not angry when she heard Shangguan Jingye's answer. She said quietly, "If you insist on reporting this to the authorities, then I can only ask my father to choose a good day and arrange for us to get married."

Li Muxia frowned slightly. This Miss Jia is really clever. It seems that her usual innocent image is all an act.

Shangguan Jingye frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"

Miss Jia smiled and said, "Young Master Ye has probably forgotten that you caught my embroidered ball."

Shangguan Jingye realized something at this moment, but still said, "I did accept your embroidered ball, but we agreed beforehand that curing your illness would replace the wedding. Now, we have already..."

Before Shangguan Jingye could finish speaking, Miss Jia interrupted, saying, "Yes, you said you would cure my illness, but what if you don't?"

After speaking, he looked at Shangguan Jingye and the others with a slightly provocative gaze.

Shangguan Jingye was so angry that he couldn't speak. His eyes were filled with rage as he looked at Miss Jia. This father and daughter were really shameless.

Seeing that his senior brother had been humiliated, Li Muxia knew that they had no choice but to accept their defeat. Looking at the Jia father and daughter, he said, "Miss Jia, I thought you were a reasonable person, but now it seems that you and Master Jia are birds of a feather."

We can't do anything to you now, but what goes around comes around. One day, you'll get your comeuppance.

She didn't even look at the Jia father and daughter's reaction after saying that; she was just saying all this to annoy them. She didn't believe in karma; she figured she had to take revenge herself.

Pulling Shangguan Jingye along, they still needed to go to the courtyard where they had stayed before to retrieve their luggage.

As she passed by the Jia father and daughter, she quietly sprinkled the powder in her hand onto them.

This scene was captured by Dongfang Jincheng, who had been keeping a close eye on Li Muxia. He smiled and thought: This woman is definitely not one to suffer a loss.

After leaving the Jia Mansion, they returned to the inn where they had stayed before. Dongfang Jincheng had prepared rooms for them in advance. Li Muxia looked at Dongfang Jincheng gratefully and thanked him.

Ever since leaving the Jia family mansion, Shangguan Jingye had been sullen and downcast, like a wronged little wife. Li Muxia felt both sorry for her senior brother and amused by his appearance. In the end, Li Muxia promised to cook him something delicious for lunch the next day to coax him out of his slump.

Unbeknownst to them, Dongfang Jincheng quickly avenged them. Upon returning to his room, he summoned Zhufeng and instructed him to contact the Shadow Pavilion's stronghold in Jiangling County. He wanted to see the richest man in Jiangling change hands within a month, and to ensure that the Jia family would never be able to recover in Jiangling again.

Anyone who dares to bully someone he likes should prepare to face his wrath.

Early the next morning, the steward of the Jia family arrived at the inn and quickly went to greet Li Muxia and her companions who were carrying their luggage and preparing to leave.

Upon seeing the newcomers, Shangguan Jingye angrily said, "What are you doing here? Are you here to spy on us? Don't worry, we are not as despicable as Master Jia. We won't report you to the authorities."

The butler quickly smiled and said, "Doctor Ye, what are you saying? Of course we trust your character. It's just that my master and young lady woke up this morning with itchy skin, and several doctors couldn't cure them. So, my master sent me to invite Doctor Ye and Doctor Xia to the manor to take a look."

Li Muxia had naturally anticipated that they would come to ask her for help. After all, she was the one who had administered the itching medicine, and she had even modified the powder given to her by her senior uncle, making it truly difficult for an ordinary person to counteract. She was confident in that much.

Shangguan Jingye, unaware of all this, sneered and said, "What, weren't you quite formidable yesterday? Now that you're sick, you've remembered us."

However, I don't think your master is sick. I guess he's done too many bad things, and even God can't stand it anymore, so he's giving him a little punishment.

Seeing the two men's attitudes, the butler knew that it would be difficult to find anyone to help today, so he quickly played the victim and said, "Yes, I know that the master must have done something wrong, and even the heavens can't stand it anymore, but what can we servants do?"

The master said that if we can't find two doctors today, he will kick my whole family out of the Jia mansion and make sure we can't find work in the entire Jiangling County.

I have elderly parents to care for and young children to raise, and I dare not offend you, sir. Both doctors are kind-hearted; please have pity on me.

After speaking, she wiped away non-existent tears from the corner of her eye with her sleeve, and secretly glanced at Li Muxia out of the corner of her eye.

Seeing this, Li Muxia found it amusing and said, "Steward, you don't need to be in a difficult position. I actually noticed yesterday that Master Jia and Miss Jia had some ailments. I was going to tell them, but then that happened. However, as a doctor, I can't just stand by and watch them die. I do have a prescription here that can treat them."

He then handed the pre-written prescription to the butler.

The butler took the prescription and glanced at it. He couldn't understand it either, but considering Li Muxia's character, he chose to trust her. He thanked her and left with the prescription.
