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

With my father's fate unknown and my elder brother having fallen off a cliff, finding them requires not only manpower and resources, but also money.

If the situation hadn't been extremely difficult, the second brother wouldn't have written to his grandmother seeking support.

The Dragon Tiger Escort Agency is also setting off tomorrow night. She remembered that in her previous life, a traitor had emerged from among the escorts, revealing that Xiao Yi was smuggling grain and supplies for the Zhenguo General's Mansion.

The emperor was furious and severely punished the Marquis of Zhongyong by severing his salary for three years. From then on, the emperor intentionally or unintentionally suppressed the Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion, and the once prosperous mansion gradually declined.

Even after the Xue family was wiped out, the Marquis of Zhongyong disregarded past grievances and extended a helping hand to her.

Xue Ruanruan was extremely grateful to Marquis Zhongyong. When she returned, she would remind Xiao Yi to strictly control the guards who escorted the grain and fodder, in order to prevent a tragedy like that of her previous life from happening again.

“Miss, the toxins and worms in our master’s body have only been temporarily suppressed. We will contact you to discuss how to proceed with the treatment.”

Seeing that Xue Ruanruan was about to leave, Yan Xiao hurriedly asked her about her background so that it would be easier to find her.

"I will contact you after I finish my work in a while. I hope you and the two guards can help me keep tonight's events a secret."

It's not a big deal if a girl from a respectable family rides a donkey on the official road in the middle of the night. If this gets out, it might damage her reputation.

The concern is that it might damage the reputation of the General's Mansion, which in turn could affect the marriage prospects of other girls in the Xue family.

Have to be cautious.

"Please rest assured, young lady. I guarantee with my life that what happened tonight will not get out and ruin your reputation."

"I also assured the young lady that I would not say anything out of turn."

Yueyin and Yanxiao made repeated assurances.

"With the two gentlemen vouching for me, I am relieved. Farewell."

"Master, should we follow them?"

Yan Xiao watched the figure riding a donkey disappear down the official road outside the carriage window and asked softly.

"No need. Since she has promised to cure me of the poison, she will not go back on her word. Let's continue our journey."

Murong Xun waved his hand, dismissing the guards, and began to sit quietly on the cushion, closing his eyes to rest.

He felt the warm current in his body slow down, but the pain in his body lessened considerably, until now only a slight stinging sensation was faintly coming from between his bones.

The pain was much less intense than before, and for the first time since the poisoning, I felt completely refreshed.

We'll leave the girl's identity for now. This bottle of medicine will last for a while. Let's deal with things in the capital first.

After Yueyin and Yanxiao stepped out of the carriage, their faces were filled with excitement. Their master was finally saved.

Although they didn't know the girl's identity, that was no problem for them. As long as their master wanted to investigate, he would naturally find out all her information.

There are simply more important things to do right now.

When Xue Ruanruan returned to the General's Mansion, it was already 7 PM. The gatekeeper of the General's Mansion saw her riding a small donkey out of the night and quickly went to greet her.

"Young Miss, you're finally back! The old lady and madam were so worried. Let me lead the donkey to the stable for you. Please come in quickly."

The gatekeeper had previously followed Xue Yan in military campaigns, but was shot in the left eye by an enemy arrow and could no longer stay in General Xue's household. After retiring from the army, he was assigned by Xue Yan to guard the gate of the general's mansion.

"Then we'll have to trouble the guards."

Knowing that her grandmother and mother must be getting impatient, Xue Ruanruan quickly handed the donkey's rope to the gatekeeper and hurriedly returned to the mansion.

“Grandmother’s little girl, you’re finally back! I was so worried about you.”

The old lady and Princess Lingjun waited anxiously for Xue Ruanruan, but she didn't come. They paced back and forth in the main hall, and when they heard the maid's voice, they immediately came out of the room to greet her.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law held Xue Ruanruan tightly, refusing to let go, their bodies trembling slightly, as if afraid she would disappear again.

"Grandmother, Mother, Ruan Ruan is back. Don't worry."

Xue Ruanruan's eyes welled up with tears, and her nose stung with emotion.

Despite being reborn twice, her family's love and care for her has not diminished in the slightest.

"Did something happen to you on the way? You said you would be back in three hours, why did you only return at 7 p.m.?"

The one who was most worried was none other than Princess Lingjun. More than ten years ago, her daughter was taken away, and ever since then she has been plagued by anxiety and almost went insane.

Even after giving birth to her fourth son, Xue Li, it did not change her.

Xue Ruanruan was the apple of her eye, and no one could replace her.

“We encountered a patient on the road who suddenly fell ill, and it took some time to treat him. Grandmother and Mother, please don’t worry too much.”

The powerful regent became a stranger in her eyes, and the old lady and Princess Lingjun did not think much of it, assuming he was just an ordinary passerby.

"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back. Let Grandma see how your little face is covered in mud, like a little kitten."

The old lady couldn't bear to scold her, so she quickly changed the subject.

Seeing his granddaughter covered in mud, her brows furrowed so deeply they could trap flies, he couldn't hide the heartache on his face.

"There was a slight mishap, but the food and winter supplies are ready and can be sent to the frontier tomorrow night."

"Grandmother's daughter is really capable. With this food and supplies, Xue's army will definitely be able to hold out for a while longer."

The old lady's biggest worry was no longer the shortage of food supplies on the frontier, but the safety of Yan'er and her eldest grandson Xue Heng.

She couldn't sleep soundly for a day if Zheng'er didn't report that he was safe.

"The original plan was to take the uncles and elders from the clan to the estate to transport grain tonight, but it looks like we won't have time."

We can only wait until tomorrow night when the Dragon Tiger Escort Agency sets off, and then make an extra trip to bring the food and supplies along.

Plans can't keep up with changes; everything was going well, but Murong Xun delayed things.

However, we can have the Dragon Tiger Escort Agency transport the grain and winter supplies from the estate when they set off tomorrow.

She looked at the route map to the frontier and deliberately bought an empty courtyard along the route taken by the escort agency.

"That's the only way. What are you holding in your hand?"

Princess Lingjun, with her excellent eyesight, inadvertently noticed that Xue Ruanruan was tightly clutching a thick stack of what looked like silver notes in her hand, and couldn't help but ask about it out of curiosity.

“Oh, this is the reward from the person I saved on the official road. My daughter treated him and brought him medicine. He asked me what I wanted, and my daughter said she wanted silver.”

"I feel so sorry for my little girl."

Princess Lingjun felt a pang of sorrow in her heart and held Xue Ruanruan tightly, refusing to let go.

Her daughter's status was so noble, yet she went to such lengths for her family, her father, and her brothers. It was her mother who had let her down.

"Who is that person, and why is he so generous?"

A glint flashed in the old lady's eyes; the person who could so easily give away such a huge sum of money must be of extraordinary status.

The General's Mansion is currently in a difficult situation, and having multiple sources of assistance is better than going it alone.

"It is Regent Murong Xun."

"what?!"

"The Regent has returned to the capital?!"

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law exclaimed in surprise, their voices trembling slightly with excitement.

Has God finally remembered the Xue family?

The General's Mansion will finally no longer have to wait to be manipulated by the Emperor; this is truly wonderful news.
