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

"Yes, the one my daughter saved was the Regent."

Unlike the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who were extremely excited, Xue Ruanruan appeared calm and composed.

In this life, she will repay his life-saving grace from her previous life and protect her family from being persecuted by Murong Luo.

She knew that there would definitely be hardships and obstacles in the future, but as long as she was no longer deceived by evil people, she could lead her people to avoid disaster.

"Good, good, good! Ruan Ruan is indeed the lucky star of the Xue family. She brought such great news as soon as she returned home."

The old lady was greatly relieved, suddenly feeling that the Xue family was saved.

The regent has only recently emerged in the court and among the people. He is usually aloof and keeps his distance from everyone.

Many ministers in the court tried every means to curry favor with the regent.

Some high-ranking ministers even attempted to marry their own daughters into the royal household in an attempt to win him over.

The regent wields immense power, governs with an iron fist, and is known for his ruthless methods; he is not someone to be easily subservient to.

Afterwards, every single official who had tried to take advantage of him was either beheaded, exiled, or, at the very least, dismissed from office due to various problems.

From then on, no civil or military official in the court dared to plot against him, and they all turned pale at the mere mention of his name.

General Zhenguo, who commands 100,000 Xue family soldiers and holds military power, has always kept a low profile.

If it weren't for the Regent's insistence on transporting grain to the frontier despite opposition, the old lady would have kept her distance from him, just like other officials' wives.

However, the Xue family is currently in a difficult situation, and the only powerful backer who can protect the 100,000-strong Xue family army is the Regent.

If the old lady didn't dare to make a move on the Regent Prince before, now that her granddaughter has saved him on the way, her once calm heart can't help but begin to look forward to it.

"Yes, auspicious clouds fell from the sky the day Nannan was born, which is a very good omen. No wonder even the arrogant and shrewd doctor snatched her away."

When the topic of the crazy old man who had taken her daughter came up again, Princess Lingjun felt only relief and comfort, and all the pent-up frustration in her heart dissipated.

"Ruanruan hasn't had dinner yet, has she? Grandmother had the cook prepare the old duck, pigeon, and ginseng soup early this morning, just waiting for you to come back and eat."

"Grandmother, has my eldest sister returned to the manor?"

Xue Li's childish voice, filled with a deep sense of drowsiness, came from outside the courtyard, and Xue Ruanruan's eyes lit up.

I've been busy these past few days, leaving early and returning late. I only saw my younger brother on the first day I returned home. I never expected that the little bean would fight off his sleepiness and wait for me to come home.

"Why isn't Li'er resting yet, it's so late?"

The old lady watched in surprise as the maid led her grandson by the hand straight to the main hall; in the past, Li'er would have been asleep long ago.

"Reporting to the old lady, the young master refuses to sleep and insists on waiting for the eldest young lady to return to the mansion."

The young maid had a bitter pill to swallow. The young master was always obedient and well-behaved. He rarely needed their service before and would obediently go back to his room to rest.

Who knew that ever since the young lady came back, she refused to sleep.

"Li'er hasn't seen her elder sister for several days, and I'm afraid she won't see her again tomorrow morning."

Xue Li was filled with grievances. His elder sister had been leaving early and returning late these past few days. Every day when he got up to eat, she had already left the mansion and had not returned by the time he came back from school.

"Hahaha... Li'er, you little rascal, your elder sister has been busy with important matters these past few days and has indeed been working hard. You should behave and not bother her."

Seeing the good relationship between the siblings, the old lady was delighted. Wasn't this exactly what she wanted to see—a loving father and filial son, and deep sibling affection?

"Li'er knows."

Xue Li listened attentively to the instruction, but his eyes never left his elder sister.

For some reason, he just liked being with his elder sister. He felt that his elder sister was amazing, capable of everything, and could even produce fruits that were not commonly seen in winter.

He resolutely refused to admit that he had been craving something sweet again.

"Grandmother, please don't blame my little brother. It's because Ruanruan has been busy these past few days and hasn't spent time with him. It's my fault."

"You should just spoil him. Go to the kitchen and see if the old duck and ginseng soup are ready. It's so cold outside, so have something hot to warm him up."

The old lady was worried that her granddaughter would get cold. It was so cold outside, and it would be troublesome if she caught a cold.

"Yes, old lady."

The maid had just left when the sound of silvery laughter came from outside again.

"Greetings to Grandmother and Mother-in-law. Has little sister returned?"

Before they arrived, their voices preceded their arrival; Fang Lingruo and Aseri came hand in hand.

They hadn't seen their younger sister in the mansion for several days, and when they heard from the old woman that their younger sister had just returned, they couldn't wait to come to the main hall in the front courtyard.

Why aren't you two asleep either?

The general's mansion suddenly became lively, and the old lady's face was full of smiles, looking much healthier.

Only when the younger generation gets along well can the Xue family prosper.

"We heard from the old woman that our little sister has returned home, so we came to see her."

Fang Lingruo smiled broadly, and her complexion looked much better than it had been a few days ago.

"Hmm, I didn't notice during the day, but you two sisters-in-law look much better. Did you secretly take some kind of magic pills or medicines behind my back?"

"That's true. My daughter-in-law also thinks that the two children look much healthier and have a rosy complexion, and even their appearance is more beautiful than before."

Princess Lingjun felt that after taking the pills given to her by Nannan, she slept very soundly at night and slept until dawn. Her body felt much lighter and more agile than before.

Seeing the significant changes in my two daughters-in-law these past few days, I can't help but think of the cherries and peaches Ruan Ruan took that day. I wonder what the connection is between the two.

"Does your mother-in-law think so too?"

Fang Lingruo stretched out her slender fingers to touch her cheeks, which were much smoother and more moist than before. She felt more and more that this change was related to the cherries and peaches that her younger sister had brought back to the mansion a few days ago.

She still longs for the sweet and delicious fruit, wishing she could eat it every day from now on.

“Naturally, so does Lily.”

Princess Lingjun was not one to joke around, and her words carried considerable weight with her two daughters-in-law.

"My daughter-in-law thought this change must be related to the cherries and peaches that my younger sister gave me. The fruit was sweet and juicy, with an unforgettable aftertaste, and even tastier than the tribute fruit."

The Fang family was a prominent and influential family in the capital. They had tasted all sorts of delicacies, so anything that she praised so highly must be extraordinary.

“My sister-in-law is right, this change must be related to the fruit my younger sister gave us.”

Arthur agreed, saying that before she got married, her father had planted an entire peach orchard for her, but the peaches could only be eaten in the summer.

The peaches my younger sister brought back were sweet and juicy, and tasted sweeter and more delicious than any fruit she had ever eaten before.

I never expected it could even improve my skin; it was a pleasant surprise.

"Don't worry, sisters-in-law. Ruan Ruan will bring out some more fruit tomorrow so you can eat your fill."

Xue Ruanruan has great confidence in the fruits produced in her space. Her biggest worry now is that she has mountains of gold and silver, but she can't get them out of her space to turn them into money. It's driving her crazy.

"Big sister, Li'er also wants to eat those sweet fruits, don't forget Li'er."

When Xue Li, the little bean sprout, heard that his elder sister was going to give fruit to his two sisters-in-law, he jumped up in excitement.

"There's even fruit?"

"Little sister, you're so kind. Second sister-in-law likes you very much."

Arthur, with her outgoing personality, immediately hugged Xue Ruanruan.
