After returning to the capital, the eldest daughter saved her entire clan with her medical skills.

“Good child, it’s good that you’re back. Your mother thought I would never find my daughter again.”

For more than a decade after losing her daughter, Princess Lingjun has never truly been happy again.

With the help of Granny Fang, the old lady walked up to the mother and daughter, hugged them, and cried loudly.

I've forgotten how long it's been since I cried so uncontrollably; the family is finally reunited.

“Grandmother, Mother, it’s a good thing that my little sister is back. We should be happy.”

Seeing her family reunited, Fang Lingruo wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and began to comfort them.

"Yes, it's a happy thing that my little sister is back. Be careful not to hurt yourself."

Arthuri also stepped forward and took out a handkerchief to wipe the old lady's tears.

“The two granddaughters-in-law are right. It’s a good thing that my Xue family’s granddaughter has been found. We should be happy.”

The old lady waved her hand, dismissing the waiting servants, afraid of disturbing the mother and daughter.

"My daughter, where have you been all these years? We've searched for you so hard, cough cough cough..."

Princess Lingjun was supported by Fang Lingruo and Qingyan to prevent her from fainting, but she started coughing uncontrollably again due to her excitement.

Seeing this, Xue Ruanruan quickly pressed a few acupoints on Princess Lingjun, then had a maid pour her a cup of water and personally fed it to her mother.

Princess Lingjun drank the water her daughter had personally fed her, tears welling in her eyes. She felt sweeter than if she had drunk honey, and felt incredibly comfortable.

Xue Ruanruan was relieved to see that Princess Lingjun was alright.

My mother's health deteriorated after she was lost. She almost died when she gave birth to my younger brother. Coupled with her chronic illness, she was just going through the motions.

Fortunately, she returned before her mother was completely beyond saving.

"Over the years, my master and I have devoted ourselves to studying medicine in Medicine King Valley and have rarely stepped out of the valley."

"Medicine King Valley? Isn't that the legendary paradise where spring lasts all year round? Could there really be such a magical place in the world?"

Upon hearing the name of Medicine King Valley, the old lady couldn't help but think of the legendary paradise on earth.

But those are all hearsay; no one has actually been to Medicine King Valley. They all say it's made up.

"Indeed, the valley is indeed filled with flowers all year round, and the climate is mild and pleasant. It is a rare and wonderful place."

“Is there really such a wonderful place? My daughter is so lucky to have grown up in a paradise.”

Princess Lingjun knew that her daughter had not suffered during her years of wandering, but had instead grown up in the fairyland-like Medicine King Valley. This eased her mind and alleviated her longing for her daughter over the years.

"Yes, we'll take my grandmother, mother, and sisters-in-law to Medicine King Valley when we have the chance. It's beautiful there, even in the dead of winter, with flowers blooming everywhere."

Xue Ruanruan showed no discomfort with the change in address, responding with intimacy and naturalness, as if she had called him that a thousand times.

Are there still flowers blooming?

Arthuri stared with her mesmerizing, misty blue eyes in disbelief.

"Of course there is."

"Then I'll be waiting. I never thought I'd have the chance to visit such a fairyland at my age. It's a life well-lived."

The old lady was very pleased to hear this and nodded repeatedly.

Princess Lingjun had no interest in the fairyland; she kept staring at Xue Ruanruan with a concern so intense it was almost tangible.

"Since the young lady can become an apprentice of the divine physician, she must know medicine, right?"

Fang Lingruo's eyes sparkled with a bright light, as brilliant as the stars.

She had been married to her husband for several years but had not conceived.

Although her grandmother and mother-in-law never mentioned it, she still felt a lot of pressure.

The Xue family has no rule against taking concubines, but she couldn't guarantee she wouldn't be able to conceive if she couldn't get pregnant.

Fang Lingruo knew that several of her close girlfriends had taken concubines for their husbands after getting married.

Whether they liked it or not, they couldn't avoid this outcome. If they didn't actively choose concubines, their mothers-in-law would interfere.

Rather than having your elders plant spies in your yard, it's better to take the initiative and you'll earn a good reputation for being virtuous.

The Xue family rules stipulated that Xue family sons were not allowed to take concubines, and the inner quarters were quiet and peaceful, unlike the dark and sinister backyards of other wealthy families.

Marrying into the Xue family was a blessing she had earned in her past life, and she cherished it dearly.

"Yes, sister-in-law, don't worry. You have a rosy complexion and are in good health. There's nothing wrong with you."

Xue Ruanruan knew what her sister-in-law wanted to ask. In her previous life, she almost divorced her brother because of the issue of having children.

"Hehe, I hope so."

Fang Lingruo smiled, still thinking that she should have her younger sister take a look, in case she had any health problems or was unable to have children, so as not to delay her husband.

"Young master, you cannot go in. The old lady and other female relatives are all here."

When the maid saw the young master running straight to the backyard after getting up, she was so frightened that she quickly stepped forward to stop him.

The old lady gave the order that no one was allowed to step into the side room.

"Grandmother is here too? Then forget it, I'll just wait outside."

A child's innocent and mischievous voice came from outside the window.

Xue Li sighed like a little adult, stood still with her hands behind her back, and stopped walking forward.

My grandmother always valued rules and regulations. Although she loved and cared for the younger generation, she was also extremely strict with them.

Confucius said that those who understand the times are wise, so he should stay outside and wait patiently to avoid upsetting his grandmother.

Xue Ruanruan's eyes lit up when she heard the little man's voice. Wasn't that her little brother's voice?

Yes, it's time for me to go to school.

In her past life, her younger brother always liked to stick close to her, comforted her after something happened, and always protected her.

Knowing that it was him coming in, Xue Ruanruan couldn't help but take a few steps toward the door, then suddenly realized that she hadn't yet reunited with her family and couldn't appear too eager.

He stopped abruptly, his eyes unconsciously turning to the window.

"It's Li'er, let him in."

The old lady glanced at the two neatly dressed girls and, finding nothing amiss, instructed the maid to let her grandson in.

"Yes, young master, the old lady wants you to come in."

Hongling bowed respectfully to Xue Li and gestured for him to enter.

"Thank you, Sister Hongling."

Xue Li bowed respectfully and returned the greeting, which made Hong Ling chuckle.

"Please, young master."

The young master is so lovely and charming.

His polite manners at such a young age earned him the affection of all the servants in the General's Mansion.

A moment later, a little boy dressed in an exquisite brocade robe, with his hair tied in a small bun, red lips and white teeth, and delicate features walked in from outside.

"Li'er greets Grandmother, Mother, and both sisters-in-law."

Xue Li entered the room and, without even looking at the people inside, bowed respectfully to everyone.

"Get up, quickly offer the young master a seat. Why are you up so early today, Li'er?"

With a smile on her face, the old lady pretended to be solemn and asked the maid to find her a seat, not daring to miss any of the proper etiquette.

Looking at Yu Xue's adorable grandson, who is so young yet looks so mature, it's truly hilarious.
