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

Seeing that Li Muxia had given the prescription to the steward, Shangguan Jingye was very puzzled and asked angrily, "Junior brother, why are you still treating them? Have you forgotten how they treated us?"

Li Muxia looked at the angry Shangguan Jingye, smiled mischievously, and said, "Of course they need treatment. They bullied us so much, it's not too much to feed them poop for a month, is it?"

After saying that, she walked out the door first. Shangguan Jingye was also excited and chased after Li Muxia. As they walked, he curiously asked what had happened.

Dongfang Jincheng smiled, his eyes filled with doting affection as he looked at Li Muxia. He then followed her.

What Dongfang Jinxuan was thinking was: This woman is really scary; I dare not offend her in the future.

The group arrived at the door and looked at the four horses tied to the tree. Li Muxia looked at Shangguan Jingye with some difficulty: "Senior brother, Master didn't leave us a single carriage."

Shangguan Jingye, unaware of Li Muxia's predicament, said, "Yes, Master has already set off. We can catch up with him sooner by riding horses. I forgot to tell you, what's wrong?"

"I can't ride a horse," Li Muxia said with a wry smile.

Shangguan Jingye was also astonished. Li Muxia was from a military family, yet she couldn't ride a horse. How could that be?

However, he quickly realized that there was no rule stating that descendants of military families must know how to ride a horse.

He looked at Li Muxia and tentatively asked, "How about I go and rent a carriage now?"

Li Muxia thought for a moment and said, "Forget it, we set off five or six days later than Master. Taking a carriage is indeed a bit slow. How about you take me with you, Senior Brother, and we ride one horse together?"

Upon hearing Li Muxia's words, Shangguan Jingye really wanted to knock open her head to see what she was thinking. How could she ask what she thought? Of course not. Others might not know, but didn't they know themselves? A man and a woman riding together—did Li Muxia have any awareness of the proper separation between men and women?

Actually, it's not really Li Muxia's fault. After all, in modern times, he often rode on his male colleagues' motorcycles. She completely regarded Shangguan Jingye as her older brother and never thought of anything in that direction.

Before Shangguan Jingye could speak, Dongfang Jincheng spoke up first: "I'll take you." How could he let Li Muxia ride with another man?

Li Muxia and Shangguan Jingye were both stunned by Dongfang Jincheng's words.

Seeing that Li Muxia did not react, Dongfang Jincheng said as he mounted his horse, "Aren't you going to Changping County? We'll go too, so we can go together. Come on up."

After saying that, he looked at Li Muxia, bent down, and reached out his hand to help her onto the horse.

Li Muxia glanced at Shangguan Jingye, then at Dongfang Jincheng, and hesitated, wanting to refuse.

Lately, whenever she relaxes, Dongfang Jincheng's image appears in her mind, and she knows that she may have fallen for him.

However, she doesn't want to be in a relationship right now. Besides, they've only met by chance and will part ways soon. She doesn't even know if they'll meet again. She really wants to nip the budding romance in the bud.

However, when he turned to look at Shangguan Jingye, Shangguan Jingye also looked at him with a troubled expression.

"No need to trouble Brother Long, my senior brother and I can ride one horse."

After listening, Dongfang Jincheng said, "No trouble at all."

Seeing that her refusal was ineffective, Li Muxia didn't know what to do. She couldn't expect the other person to keep bending over and waiting for her.

Shangguan Jingye didn't know how to refuse, since Li Muxia was still dressed as a man, and he couldn't very well reveal Li Muxia's identity here.

Li Muxia didn't hesitate for long. She looked at Dongfang Jincheng, who was waiting for her with his hand outstretched, and finally gave in, placing her hand in Dongfang Jincheng's.

Dongfang Jincheng felt the warmth emanating from his palm. He squeezed her slightly chubby little hand, a restless warmth surging in his heart. With a little force, he pulled Li Muxia into his arms.

Li Muxia felt the man's hot and hard chest behind her, and her body tensed up. She immediately sat up straight. This sudden touch reminded her of the kiss a few days ago, and her heartbeat was instantly disrupted.

Dongfang Jincheng also felt the tension in the person in his arms. With a smile on his lips, he gently lowered his head and whispered a sentence in Li Muxia's ear: "Relax."

The warm breath sprayed onto Li Muxia's ears, and the tingling sensation flowed through her body like an electric current, causing the tips of her ears to turn red involuntarily.

Li Muxia's body tensed even more, remaining motionless like a piece of wood.

Dongfang Jincheng felt the increasingly stiff body of the person in his arms. Knowing Li Muxia's nervousness, he dared not tease her any longer and chuckled, "Brother Xia, sit tight, we're setting off."

As she spoke, she gently squeezed the horse's belly with her legs, and the horse, in pain, started to run. Although Li Muxia was mentally prepared, she was still caught off guard and fell into Dongfang Jincheng's arms.

Dongfang Jincheng naturally wrapped his arms around Li Muxia's waist, trapping her in his embrace. Feeling the warm and soft body of the woman in his arms, he finally felt that the emptiness in his heart had been filled by this little woman.

Feeling the warmth emanating from behind and the steady, powerful heartbeat in the man's chest, Li Muxia's heartbeat became erratic. Only then did she realize she was being held tightly in his arms, feeling a profound sense of security, and her heart slowly succumbed to his embrace.

She thought: Let it be, let her enjoy it this once.

Thinking of this, she softened her body and nestled herself into Dongfang Jincheng's arms.

Dongfang Jincheng also sensed Li Muxia's change. In the depths of his eyes, there was an imperceptible emotion, filled with joy. He looked down at the person in his arms, his eyes full of doting affection.

Seeing the two ride away, Shangguan Jingye and Dongfang Jinxuan quickly mounted their horses and chased after Dongfang Jincheng.

Unbeknownst to them, after they left, Master Jia consulted Doctor Wang about the prescription given by Li Muxia. Doctor Wang looked at Master Jia with a pale face, unsure how to tell him the prescription.

Master Jia noticed that Doctor Wang was not right and, while scratching himself, asked, "Doctor Wang, what's wrong? Is there a problem with the prescription?"

Doctor Wang looked at Master Jia and said, "The prescription is correct; it is indeed effective in detoxifying. However, there is one ingredient here that our pharmacy does not have."

Upon hearing that the prescription was correct, Master Jia was relieved and quickly said, "It's alright. I wonder which ingredient is missing, and if it's difficult to find?"

Doctor Wang glanced at Master Jia, gritted his teeth, and said, "It's not hard to find, it's just that..."

Seeing Doctor Wang's hesitant manner, Master Jia asked anxiously, "What is it? Just tell me!"

Doctor Wang looked at Master Jia and, no longer hiding anything, said, "It's this white lilac."

Upon hearing the name, Master Jia assumed it was some kind of flower and was relieved. Since it wasn't hard to find, there shouldn't be any problem. He then asked, "Where does this white lilac grow?"

Doctor Wang said, "I have one in my backyard." He then led Master Jia to the backyard, to one of his pet sparrows.

Looking around Doctor Wang's courtyard, where there wasn't a single flower, Master Jia asked, "Which one is the white lilac?"

Dr. Wang pointed to a puddle of white secretion under the sparrow cage and said, "That's it."

Looking at the white, still steaming pile of excrement, Master Jia angrily shouted at the sky, "Xia Mu, Ye Jin, you two bastards!"

Li Muxia and Shangguan Jingye, who were on horseback, sneezed at the same time.
