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

The old lady, supported by Granny Fang, walked towards the courtyard and greeted the clan elders who had come in person with a smile.

“You sent a servant to tell us that the Xue family’s daughter has been found, and we old folks couldn’t sit still, so we came to check it out first.”

Leading the way was an elderly man with white eyebrows and beard, who smiled and looked ahead.

"Uncle, you flatter me. If you want to see my daughter, just send someone to tell us, and we'll bring her to visit you in person."

The old lady held the clan elders in high esteem.

The Xue family's prosperity to this day is inseparable from the mutual support among its members; they share both glory and loss.

Indeed, that was the case. In his previous life, the Xue family was in trouble and the new emperor exterminated nine generations of their clan, with no one, regardless of age or gender, escaping unscathed.

No matter when, as long as someone is detrimental to the Xue family, the clan will unite as one against them.

"These old folks couldn't sit still. They even called the messenger to come over before he had even left."

The old patriarch of the Xue family was the third uncle of the old Duke. He was over eighty years old, but his complexion was still quite good.

He was fair and selfless, always considering the big picture and the interests of all parties. He never made a mistake in decades, and all branches of the Xue family respected him greatly.

"We just want to see the only girl in the Xue family for eighteen generations. She is our Xue family's lucky star."

The Xue family had no rule against taking concubines. Once a Xue family son married, regardless of whether his wife was able to bear children, he could not divorce her or take a concubine. Otherwise, he would be expelled from the clan.

Fortunately, the Xue family's sons were all capable and none of them did anything outrageous, so they lived in peace.

The only regret is that no matter how many babies I have, they are all boys, and I don't have a single girl.

When Princess Lingjun gave birth to a baby girl, the entire Xue family was overjoyed. Every household prepared precious gifts and attached great importance to the occasion.

Unfortunately, the joy lasted only a month before the Xue family's daughter was snatched away by a crazy old man at her full-moon celebration banquet.

Upon hearing the news, the old clan chief vomited blood and fainted.

Other members of the tribe were even more furious and contributed manpower and money to search for the missing people.

Unfortunately, so many years have passed, and that person seems to have vanished without a trace.

Over the years, countless girls have come to the General's Mansion to claim kinship, but they have all been exposed as frauds. The clan elders have grown increasingly disappointed and their hearts have gradually grown cold.

Unexpectedly, at noon today, the General's Mansion sent a servant to announce the good news that the Xue family's daughter had been found.

The clan chief was overjoyed upon hearing this, and several old fellows couldn't sit still either. They didn't even wait for the old lady of the General's Mansion to invite them, and rushed over in person.

They were all elderly people, and the snowstorm had terrified the Xue family men who were left behind in the capital. They all helped the elderly people come over.

Each household sent a small number of people, but together there were more than a dozen people who walked in a long procession from the courtyard.

Everyone peered curiously into the main hall, hoping to see what the Xue family's daughter looked like as soon as possible.

"Third Grandfather, Fifth Grandfather, Eldest Uncle, please come inside."

Princess Lingjun quickly got up and led the people into the house, with Fang Lingruo and Aseli, the granddaughters-in-law, following behind their mother-in-law.

The group entered the house in a grand procession. The maids quickly added seats and thoughtfully laid thick cushions on the chairs, and lit several more heaters before stopping.

With so many people around, and fearing she might offend the elders, Xue Ruanruan held Xue Li and leaned against the corner.

After everyone sat down, the old clan chief anxiously inquired about the whereabouts of the Xue family's daughter.

"Nannan, why don't you hurry up and stand in front to pay your respects to the elders?"

Seeing that the old clan leader was sweating profusely, the old lady didn't keep her in suspense any longer and directly called Xue Ruanruan, who was in the corner, to the front of the group.

"Ruanruan greets all the clan elders and pays her respects."

Xue Ruanruan put Xue Li down and walked forward alone.

The moment she appeared before everyone, gasps of surprise filled the room.

A stunningly beautiful and alluring young woman gracefully approached. Her eyes shimmered like stars, and her skin was as smooth and delicate as jade.

Her jet-black hair was casually tied into a simple bun, without any hairpins or ornaments, yet it made her look even more radiant and beautiful.

Even standing next to the Persian princess, who was known for her beauty, she was not overshadowed at all; on the contrary, she appeared even more beautiful.

Almost no beautiful words can adequately describe her beauty.

She is truly a celestial being descended to earth.

"This this......"

When the old clan chief saw Xue Ruanruan's face clearly, he was so shocked that his eyes widened, and he looked back and forth between her and Princess Lingjun in disbelief.

The more you look at them, the more they resemble each other. This time, there's no doubt that they are mother and daughter; otherwise, no two people could look so alike.

"This looks just like the eldest princess when she was young."

The Fifth Elder finished the sentence for the old clan chief.

"Fifth Uncle also thinks the mother and daughter look alike? Hahaha, you can finally rest easy now."

"Don't worry, don't worry at all. Needless to say, just looking at his appearance, he is definitely a descendant of our Xue family."

In his youth, Fifth Master Xue led the Xue family army in battles across the country. He was rough around the edges, and spoke in a carefree and unconventional manner.

However, his words seemed to be a way of praising the Xue family.

Although the Xue family's son was handsome, his features were rather rugged, and he didn't seem like the type to give birth to such a beautiful girl.

Until Xue Yan's generation, Xue Yan married the beautiful Princess Lingjun and they had five sons.

The five sons of the General's Mansion had their appearances specially combined with the best features of both husband and wife, which is why they didn't look as rough as their elders.

The lines are soft, giving it the air of a refined young nobleman.

Xue Zheng was even known as one of the two outstanding talents in the capital, along with the powerful regent Murong Xun, and was quite popular among noble ladies.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been chosen by the Persian princess at first sight, becoming the second man to marry a princess after his father, Xue Yan.

"Hehe, I think the little girl looks more like her mother."

Even the old lady, with her thick skin, couldn't stand her fifth uncle's boastful behavior. Fortunately, there were no outsiders present.

"More like Yan'er."

The fifth old man was not convinced and argued his case based on reason.

The old lady smiled and said nothing more. The more she said, the more mistakes she would make. As long as the old man was happy, that was all that mattered.

"Child, what's your name? Where have you been all these years?"

The old clan chief was concerned about Xue's daughter's experiences over the years and the whereabouts of the mad old man who had stolen her away.

The Xue family's daughter was not only the apple of the General's eye in the mansion, but also a treasure of the entire Xue clan.

The old patriarch couldn't believe that the crazy old man had such great ability to take the child away in front of everyone in the Xue family and remain safe for many years.

Who knows what earth-shattering secret is hidden behind it? It's not impossible.

"Replying to the old clan chief, my daughter's name is Ruanruan, Xue Ruanruan. Over the years, she has been studying medicine with her master in Medicine King Valley."

Seeing the Xue family elders sitting alive in front of her, Xue Ruanruan felt excited and happy.

Her family in her past life treated her like a precious jewel, cherishing her dearly.

Even after the entire clan was wiped out, no one blamed her father or her.
