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

The man glanced at the people inside the room and said angrily, "You just wait." Then he ran out. He wanted to explain things to Brother Liu, or he would definitely be in big trouble.

After everyone left, Li Muxia gave Hui Niang a bottle of antidote and said, "You probably can't take this with you. I have a dozen taels of silver here. Take it and buy a house in the countryside. You should still have some money left over. Buy some land to farm, and you'll have a secure life in the future."

After taking the antidote, Hui Niang took the money bag from Li Muxia's hand and knelt down before him with Xiao Bao: "Dr. Xia, thank you. You saved my and Xiao Bao's lives. I really don't know how to repay your kindness."

Li Muxia smiled and helped the two up, saying, "You don't need to repay us. Just raise Xiaobao well, and if you can afford it, send him to school so he can have a good future."

Hui Niang nodded, secretly making up her mind: she must raise Xiao Bao well and make him grow up to be like Doctor Xia.

Long Jie had been paying close attention to Li Muxia. The longer he spent with him, the more he was attracted to his every move. He had never seen anyone like Li Muxia in Longteng Kingdom. He didn't understand it, but he was indeed attracted by his qualities.

Even now, lying in bed, Li Muxia's bright and charming smiling face keeps appearing in her mind.

He scratched his head in frustration and buried it in the blanket. What was wrong with him? Why was he thinking about a man all the time?

Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he threw off the covers, got dressed, and came to the entrance of the brothel.

The girl at the door immediately greeted the handsome young man and pulled Long Jie inside.

The madam also noticed the wealthy young man and quickly came forward, shooing away the girls surrounding him and personally greeting him, asking, "Young master, is this your first time visiting our Yihong Courtyard?"

Long Jie glanced at the madam with her face covered in rouge and the overpowering scent of face powder that almost made him vomit. Suddenly, he missed the faint fragrance of orchids that emanated from Li Muxia. He stepped back slightly and nodded.

The madam immediately put on a smile and said, "Then you've come to the right place, young master. Our top courtesan, Qinglan, is auctioning off her virginity today. It will begin in a quarter of an hour. Why don't you go and take a look?"

Long Jie glanced at the madam and said impatiently, "Lead the way."

The auction began quickly. Long Jie sat in the first row, looking at the stunningly beautiful woman on stage, but he had no interest in her at all. Instead, he could only picture Li Muxia's clean, unadorned face.

I'm getting increasingly irritable.

The courtesan Qinglan on stage also saw Long Jie and was instantly attracted by his outstanding appearance and temperament. How wonderful it would be if this person could take her virginity.

Looking at the crowd bidding below the stage, only Long Jie remained silent, as if he was just there to watch the excitement.

At this moment, Long Jie, who was already in a bad mood, became even more agitated upon hearing the noisy bidding around him. He just wanted it to end quickly and shouted, "Ten thousand taels!"

A hush fell over the scene. Everyone was stunned. How could it be ten thousand taels? Wasn't it just bid one thousand taels a moment ago? Who is this person who is so wealthy and powerful?

Even Qinglan herself did not expect that the man she had her eye on would pay such a high price for her virginity. She even wondered if he had taken a liking to her and that he might buy her freedom after tonight.

Overjoyed at the thought, she gracefully approached Long Jie. Long Jie didn't even bother to look at her closely before pulling her close and ordering that a room be prepared.

Qinglan was also startled. Why were they in such a hurry?

As soon as the two entered the room, Long Jie couldn't wait to tear at Qing Lan's clothes. Qing Lan didn't resist. Looking at the somewhat impatient Long Jie, she was still a little scared. Although she had been forced into the brothel, she had only sold her art, not her body. Today was her first time. Seeing how roughly Long Jie was handling her, she wondered if it would hurt a lot.

Looking at Qinglan, Long Jie's mind was filled with the image of Li Muxia. He couldn't muster any interest, so he simply stopped and got up to sit on the stool, pouring himself a cup of tea.

Qinglan slowly got out of bed and came to Long Jie's side. Wondering if she had done something to displease him, she cautiously asked, "Young Master..."

As a result, she was interrupted by Long Jie's cold voice after she had only said two words: "Get out."

Upon hearing Long Jie's words, Qinglan was first taken aback, then tried to plead her case again. If this young master didn't touch her and just let her leave, she would become the laughingstock of the entire Wu County, and no one would treat her as a courtesan anymore: "Young master, has Qinglan done something wrong?"

Long Jie glanced coldly at Qing Lan and said impatiently, "Get out."

Although Qinglan was unwilling, she didn't dare to say anything more and ran out feeling wronged.

Long Jie became increasingly agitated as he stayed alone in his room, and finally, he jumped out of the window and fled.

The madam was also puzzled when she saw Qinglan run out. She asked her for a long time, but Qinglan just kept crying and didn't say a word.

When the madam couldn't get an answer from Qinglan, she went to Longjie's room and knocked. After a while, no one answered. She gently pushed the door open and saw the empty room and the open window.

He slapped his forehead and said, "Oh no, I haven't paid yet."

Then, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed a silver note under the teacup on the table, and he slowly relaxed. Fortunately, he had paid the money, so today's work wasn't a complete waste. He could hold another auction another day and make a fortune.

After leaving, Long Jie did not return to his own place, but instead went to the room where Li Muxia was staying.

Looking at that sleeping little face, my restless heart finally found some relief.

However, he soon realized that he had really fallen in love with a man, and fled from the inn where Li Muxia was staying.

Back in his room, lying on his bed, he replayed the scenes of his time with Li Muxia like a movie, further confirming his feelings.

As the crown prince and future ruler of the Dragon Soaring Kingdom, how could he be a homosexual? If others found out, what would become of him? His brothers could easily drag him down from his high position without lifting a finger.

Thinking of this, Long Jie's eyes gradually became firm: it was just a relationship that shouldn't exist, and he refused to believe that he couldn't let go of it.

Early the next morning, Long Jie left Wuxian County. He was running away, and at the same time, he wanted to sever the feelings that he dared not have.
