"Mumu, don't worry, they should be able to understand. If they really can't accept it, then you and Tinghao can leave that house. With us here, you'll definitely have enough to eat and wear over there. We'll always be your support." He comforted Ruan Mumu earnestly.

"Sister, maybe they like you better the way you are now? Don't overthink it," Ruan Yanyan reassured her in a soft voice.

"Mumu, let your dad and I buy a wedding gift for your older brother Xiaojun tomorrow! Consider it a wedding present from our whole family," Zhang Yufang suggested with a smile.

Gazing at her loved ones, their eyes overflowing with love and care, Ruan Mumu felt an unprecedented sense of happiness well up inside her.

Although I have left the modern world, the love and care I receive from my family in the modern world is even deeper and more intense than before.

"Thank you..." Ruan Mumu's voice trembled slightly with excitement, tears gradually blurred her vision, and something seemed to be stuck in her throat, making it difficult to utter any more words.

Zhang Yufang gently stroked Ruan Mumu's hair, silently comforting her.

After a while, Ruan Mumu suddenly stood up and said, "You all sit for a while. I'll go out and get Tinghao's letter. My brother will deliver it to him later."

“Then I’ll go out and see how Uncle Qiao and Aunt Ding are doing with their writing,” Ruan Haohao said.

After saying that, the two siblings disappeared into the living room.

When Ruan Mumu came out, Qiao Tinghao had just finished writing another letter. Seeing Ruan Mumu, he happily went up to her and asked, "Have you seen all your relatives?"

“Yes, I saw them. My younger brother came back this time, and my grandmother was there too,” Ruan Mumu said, referring to the people she had met.

When Qiao Tinghao heard that Ruan Mumu's family was all there, his gaze fell on her radiant smile, and he couldn't help but feel happy for her.

However, when he thought of his parents, his eyes involuntarily dimmed.

Ruan Mumu noticed the change in Qiao Tinghao's emotions. She gently patted his broad shoulder and softly comforted him, "You also have parents who love you deeply."

Qiao Tinghao shook his head slightly, his voice low and filled with sorrow: "But I cannot see them."

The heavy tone seemed to carry endless longing and pain, causing Ruan Mumu's heart to clench, and a wave of indescribable sorrow to rise up.

At this moment, the two stood facing each other. She gazed at Qiao Tinghao, who looked slightly lost and helpless, and a feeling of maternal love welled up within her.

She slowly opened her arms, as if protecting a precious treasure, and carefully approached Qiao Tinghao's broad and warm chest, tightly embracing his strong waist, giving him silent yet sincere and profound comfort.

Under Ruan Mumu's gentle comfort, Qiao Tinghao's originally restless state of mind gradually calmed down.

He looked down at the face so close to his, still radiating innocence, and a strange sense of peace welled up within him.

At that moment, time seemed to stand still, and the whole world consisted only of their embracing figures.

"How's your letter coming along?" Ruan Mumu asked softly.

Qiao Tinghao suddenly realized, as if waking from a dream, that Ruan Mumu had left his embrace.

"I've already written it." Then he took the folded letter from the table, put it in an envelope, and handed it to Ruan Mumu.

Ruan Mumu took the envelope and then flashed into the space.

Looking at the empty room, with the lingering warmth of his embrace still present, Qiao Tinghao felt a sudden surge of sweetness in his heart.

Now he suddenly dislikes the body that God chose for him. Wouldn't it have been better to choose an adult male?

He just happened to choose a body that belonged to a thirteen or fourteen-year-old, and it will be several more years before he can grow up and marry the woman he admires.

When Ruan Mumu reappeared in the living room, Ruan Haohao couldn't contain his excitement and said to her, "Mumu! Great news!"

Upon hearing the good news, Ruan Mumu immediately grabbed her older brother's hand and asked, "Big brother, big brother, what is the good news?"

Ruan Haohao usually appears mature and rarely gets this excited, so it seems this news is quite valuable.

“Uncle Qiao just said that the person he contacted last time replied and can provide you with a batch of military supplies. However, he said that Minister Wang has another request…” Ruan Haohao hesitated before continuing.

Upon hearing this, Ruan Mumu guessed that she still wanted the spiritual spring water, since it was truly magical and good health was priceless.

So she waved her hand and said, "It's just spring water, how many cups do you want? This one can be given to him."

The others sitting nearby echoed their agreement, feeling that as long as Ruan Mumu's request could be met, a few cups of spiritual spring water were nothing at all.

At this point, Ruan Haohao continued, "They hope to obtain several items from ancient times that are of significant reference value."

Upon hearing this, everyone present couldn't help but gasp in surprise: "Huh?"

Everyone's faces were full of surprise.

Then, Ruan Yanyan hurriedly suggested, "Sister, just pick a few things over there. Aren't those things antiques in modern times? Like the bowls and teacups you use every day..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ruan Wanfu nodded in agreement: "That's right, Mumu, these conditions are indeed not difficult."

However, Ruan Haohao interjected again, adding, "It's not that simple. Their requirement is that the items must have been used in the palace..."

Upon hearing this, Ruan Mumu fell into deep thought. After a moment's consideration, she asked, "So, does the other side have a clear rule that we must obtain these things first before they will provide us with supplies? After all, we probably won't be able to get them in the short term!"

Ruan Haohao shook his head: "The other party didn't say, and I heard from Uncle Qiao that Minister Wang has already prepared the supplies, which will be delivered to Liangcheng soon."

"So that means you can provide it to me first, and I can get the rest later?" Ruan Mumu guessed.

"I'll go out and ask again later." Ruan Haohao was a little annoyed that he hadn't asked for more details earlier. He had rushed in to report that Minister Wang had agreed to provide a batch of military supplies.

"Big brother, this is a letter from Tinghao to his parents. You deliver it and find out the details while you're at it. I'll try my best to get what Minister Wang wants as soon as possible," Ruan Mumu said, handing the envelope to Ruan Haohao.

Ruan Haohao took the envelope and disappeared into the living room.

After Ruan Haohao left, Ruan Mumu carefully took out four crystal-clear, warm and smooth jade bracelets from her bosom.

She first gently slipped one of the bracelets onto Old Mrs. Zhang's wrist, which was marked by the passage of time, and then carefully placed the other bracelet on Zhang Yufang's slender, fair hand.

She solemnly handed the last one to Zhang Yufang, saying softly, "Mom, this jade bracelet was specially prepared for my sister-in-law. Please help me pass it on."

There was also another one for Tinghao's mother; it was a token of Tinghao's affection.

Zhang Yufang looked down at the flawless and exquisite jade bracelet on her wrist, and couldn't help but feel a surge of amazement: such a beautiful bracelet was clearly no ordinary item.

She quickly looked up, her eyes filled with concern and urgency as she anxiously asked, "Mumu, did these jade bracelets cost a lot of money? You should save some money for yourself instead of always thinking about buying things for us."

Faced with Zhang Yufang's worries and concern, Ruan Mumu smiled with relief and replied softly, "Mom, don't worry, it didn't actually cost too much money! Besides, with the supplies you provided, we'll earn it back quickly."

As soon as she finished speaking, she reached into her bosom again and, as if by magic, produced four jade pendants that were pure white and flawless, like mutton fat jade.

She handed one piece to Ruan Wanfu, one piece to Ruan Yanyan, and gently placed the remaining two pieces on the table in front of where Ruan Haohao had just been sitting.

“Dad, Yan Yan, I’ve never given you any decent gifts before, so please don’t mind this one today! Of the remaining two pieces, one is for my eldest brother, and the other is for Uncle Qiao,” Ruan Mumu said.

"Wow! Sis, this jade pendant looks really nice, it must be expensive!" Ruan Yanyan examined the jade pendant carefully, turning it over and over, and asked as she looked at it.

Ruan Mumu replied with a smile, "It's not very expensive. I bought it at a jewelry store, and it's not a particularly valuable item. This is a jade pendant that men in ancient times wore on their waists. It's probably not useful in modern times, so it can only be used as a collectible."

Although Ruan Mumu said it wasn't very valuable, Ruan Wanfu and Ruan Yanyan regarded it as a treasure.

"Mumu, has Tinghao found his family over there?" Ruan Wanfu asked curiously.

When her father asked about this, Ruan Mumu recounted her trip to the military camp a few days ago.

A war between the Northern Sheng Kingdom and the Western Rong Kingdom is inevitable, especially given the current situation. It is estimated that war will break out soon, and if the spies are not eliminated before the war breaks out, the consequences will be unimaginable.

If war breaks out and the enemy cannot be eliminated directly, then Jinwan Village, where Ruan Mumu lives, will suffer the ravages of war.

"Mumu, will your previous cameras be of any use? The ones used to catch spies will be useful, right?" Zhang Yufang asked anxiously.

Knowing that her family was worried about her, Ruan Mumu comforted them, saying, "You don't need to worry. General Qiao is no pushover, especially with the weapons I provided. He's even more powerful now."

"What good are those weapons?" Ruan Wanfu was also very anxious.

Ruan Mumu smiled mysteriously, then kept everyone in suspense: "I have a brilliant plan."

When Ruan Haohao came in, he saw that his family members looked very nervous.

"Big brother, did you find out what happened with Uncle Qiao?" Ruan Yanyan asked anxiously when she saw her older brother come in.

After taking a sip of water from the cup in front of him, Ruan Haohao was about to report the situation to everyone when he noticed a jade pendant on the table and asked, "Mumu, is this for me to auction off?"

Before Ruan Mumu could speak, Ruan Yanyan interrupted, "If you want to auction it off, then take it. Dad and I both have some, so that piece is yours."

Upon hearing that it was for him, Ruan Haohao quickly put it away.

Suddenly, the voice of the space spirit rang out: "Dear family members, please keep the items given by your master today safe, as they will bring you unexpected rewards in the future!"

The people present were somewhat puzzled by what he said, but they all understood that the object was very important.

"Keep it! Maybe there will be a surprise inside," said Grandma Zhang, happily touching the bracelet on her wrist.

After hearing this, everyone quietly put it away.

"Brother, what did Minister Wang say?" Ruan Mumu was eager to know if they could get the batch of military supplies ahead of schedule.

"When I went out just now, Uncle Qiao asked Minister Wang, and he said that the supplies can be delivered first. If we can get five palace items within six months, there will be a second batch of supplies..." Ruan Haohao explained the situation he had just communicated with Ruan Mumu.

Ruan Mumu agreed without hesitation.

Once they obtain these supplies and defeat the Western Rong Kingdom, Liu Ziyun will be able to return to the capital openly and legitimately. Obtaining the few items should not be a problem.

“I knew you would agree. I already had Uncle Qiao agree to Minister Wang’s request. The supplies will be transported to Liangcheng tomorrow and should arrive within three days,” Ruan Haohao said with a smile to Ruan Mumu.

"Thank you, brother!" Ruan Mumu said softly.

As if suddenly remembering something, Ruan Haohao quickly said, "Mumu, if that batch of supplies arrives, you have to move it as soon as possible, otherwise if it gets discovered, it will be hard to explain."

Ruan Mumu knew that this matter was not to be ignored, so she said, "Don't worry, after my space was upgraded last time, I have a 50-square-meter virtual space. I will move into it first."

Then she mysteriously said to everyone, "I've obtained something good."

Her words piqued everyone's curiosity, and they quickly asked, "What good stuff?"

While everyone was waiting for Ruan Mumu's answer, she calmly took a sip of water before finally announcing, "After the space upgrade, I have a copy cabinet in my virtual space. Once something is put in, the same thing can be copied out."

"My God! Sister, this is a treasure! If you put the silver in and make a copy, wouldn't you get a huge pile of silver? You'd be rich! You'd be set for life!" When Ruan Yanyan heard this, her first thought was to make a copy of the silver.

"What are you thinking? I'm desperately short of money myself, and you want to duplicate it? You're dreaming." A robot's voice suddenly came from the space.

The others couldn't help but laugh when they heard what the space sprite said.

"Forget about copying silver. Other things are possible, but the rarer the item, the longer it takes to copy. Common items are quick. Last time I copied those stun guns, I made over a hundred in one night," Ruan Mumu shared her treasures with everyone.

"This space has this function? This space is amazing! I wish I could have such an unexpected bonus myself," Ruan Yanyan said enviously.
