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

Finally, there was hope. Heaven was still looking out for its master and hadn't driven him to the brink of despair.

"The person we should thank the most is this young lady."

"Yes, yes, Master is right. Thank you for your miraculous medicine, Miss. It saved our Master's life. Please accept Yan Xiao's bow."

Yan Xiao excitedly knelt down in front of Xue Ruanruan and kowtowed three times in succession.

Xue Ruanruan quickly moved aside, "Guard Yan, there's no need for such formality. This is what we doctors should do; saving lives and healing the wounded is our duty."

Anyone can say nice things.

Is she lacking kind words?

What she lacks is money, lots and lots of money.

Thinking of his father and brothers suffering on the frontier, he couldn't help but feel anxious.

It was so late at night, and the original plan was to return to the manor to call the clansmen over, and then secretly transport away the grain and winter supplies under the moonlight.

Little did she know that her little donkey had been bitten in the rear by the Regent's Palace horse bit and was now lying on the roadside, wailing and howling.

The picture is so beautiful that I dare not look directly at it.

Even if it's someone who saved your life in a past life, you can't disregard martial ethics and think that just saying a few nice words is enough.

Xue Ruanruan had a thousand knots in her heart, all of which were written on her face; her dirty little face was almost twisted into a ball.

Murong Xun kept a close eye on Xue Ruanruan's facial expressions out of the corner of his eye.

Watching her switch between a forced smile and a half-smile, her expressions constantly changing, a beautiful curve appearing at the corners of her mouth.

I have never seen a girl with such rich and lively expressions.

"Please just tell me what you want, young lady. I will do whatever it takes to make it happen."

Murong Xun had no intention of hiding his identity from her. If she was an assassin sent by someone in secret, how could he, in his crippled and weakened state, possibly resist?

Letting her in for treatment is just a sign of her giving up entirely. Listening to her arguing with the guards outside is just annoying.

I had no hope what she said could cure my illness.

Famous doctors from the Chu and Qin dynasties searched everywhere, but all said it was incurable.

How could a young girl possibly be cured?

Unexpectedly, there is no way out despite the mountains and rivers, and there is another village with dark flowers and bright flowers.

The girl he bumped into by chance on the road had such a magical pill, which softened his heart, made him lower his guard, and extend kindness to her.

"I want silver."

Xue Ruanruan's eyes lit up, and without any hesitation, she frankly and openly told him the truth.

She wants money; she's short of money.

Talking about other things will hurt feelings; giving some money is the most practical thing to do.

Before the Dragon Army Escort Agency set off, preparing more food for her father and brothers was the only thing she could do at the moment.

However, she was short of money. Even the silver given to her by the old man she had helped on her way back to the capital had been used to buy supplies, and she didn't have a single tael of silver left.

"Well....."

Murong Xun was speechless, unsure how to respond.

This girl always says things that are so unexpected.

I had thought she might want a title, make some request, or ask for something else, but I never expected her to ask for money so readily.

This is good, much better than those who make thorny demands with ulterior motives.

Things that can be solved with money are never a problem.

I can't explain why, but I feel a little disappointed.

Is it because she didn't ask for a formal title?

Murong Xun didn't think much of it and gave Yueyin a wink, signaling him to take out the silver.

Yueyin and Yanxiao were both stunned by Xue Ruanruan's simple and blunt request. How crude, oh no, what a straightforward girl.

With such a handsome man as his master right in front of him, he would even be willing to accept a title.

What a blind girl!

If you want silver, marrying into the Regent's household will get you no shortage of it. Not only will you get silver, but you'll also gain a powerful and cunning old fox...

Haha!

No, I misspoke. It was the resourceful and wise regent husband.

This girl has no taste; she's not good enough for her master.

While Yueyin's mind was filled with all sorts of random thoughts, her hands didn't stop moving at all. She quickly took out a thick stack of silver notes from her sleeve, all of them large denominations.

“Miss, please accept these silver notes as payment for the master’s pulse diagnosis and medicine.”

When Xue Ruanruan saw the thick stack of silver notes, her eyes widened in surprise, and her mouth gaped open, unable to contain her joy.

So many silver notes! I've never seen so many silver notes since I was reborn.

As expected of the Regent, who wields immense power and controls the three armies, he is so generous. If she can cure his illness in the future, wouldn't even more silver notes be showered upon her?

"Girl? Girl?"

Yueyin looked at the girl who was staring blankly at the silver note in her hand, her eyes were crossed and she was drooling, and couldn't help but wave her hand in front of her face.

"Oops, sorry, I was just spacing out. What did Guard Yue just say?"

Xue Ruanruan snapped out of her daze, wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth with her sleeve, and smiled obsequiously.

"Pfft!"

Yan Xiao witnessed Xue Ruanruan's entire change of expression and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Where did this girl come from? She's so interesting.

"Cough cough cough..."

Murong Xun feigned a cough and glared threateningly at Yan Xiao, who was so frightened that she quickly put on a cold face.

How could I forget? This young lady is my master's savior. How could he make fun of her?

That's incredibly rude of you.

"I said please keep the silver note safe, consider it payment for your master's pulse diagnosis and medicine."

Yueyin presented the silver notes with utmost respect, her attitude humbly contrasting sharply with her previous demeanor.

"Then I won't be polite, hehe."

Xue Ruanruan took the silver note, feeling its heavy weight in her hand. Her eyes lit up, estimating that it must be worth over a thousand taels of silver.

What a pleasant surprise! It allows me to prepare more supplies for Dad and my brothers.

"It's yours to deserve, young lady, no need to be so polite."

"Since you are so sincere, young master, I will give you another bottle of Vitality Pill. This pill has the effect of revitalizing damaged meridians and flesh. After taking it, the organs and meridians in your body that were damaged by toxins will be restored to vitality."

This medicine bottle was not made of warm jade, but a fine blue and white porcelain bottle, with an antique and exquisite appearance, and looked quite valuable.

A glint flashed in Murong Xun's eyes, but it disappeared in an instant. He hadn't expected this girl to be so unassuming, as even the pills she casually took out had such miraculous effects.

He became increasingly curious about the other person's background and why, despite possessing a treasure, he seemed to be in dire need of money.

"Thank you for your kindness, young lady."

Murong Xun took the medicine bottle and carefully put it away.

"No need to thank me. If there is nothing else, young master, I will take my leave now."

Xue Ruanruan had no intention of staying any longer. Her family was waiting for her to return home, and the Dragon Tiger Escort Agency was coming tomorrow to deliver grain and winter supplies.

The regent suddenly gave so many silver notes, which were originally intended to be exchanged for winter supplies to be sent to the frontier.

Now she has suddenly changed her mind.

Prices in the capital are several times higher than in the border regions, so it's better to just send the silver notes over. My second brother certainly doesn't have any silver with him.

Without money, many things become less convenient.
