"From now on, little brother can just tell big sister what he wants to eat. Don't make our young master from the General's Mansion suffer."

Xue Ruanruan's doting tone made Xue Li's little mouth grin wide open.

He loved his elder sister the most; she was the best sister in the world.

"Uh-huh!"

Xue Li nodded emphatically, and even though he saw the two servants carrying heavy bamboo baskets, he didn't try to get down to eat.

"Ruanruan, why did you bring so many fruits? There are too many of us to eat them all."

Princess Lingjun's eyes lit up when she saw the two large bamboo baskets full of fruit. She loved the cherries and peaches, which were more delicious than any fruit she had ever eaten before.

"If you can't finish it, just share it with the servants in the mansion. Don't worry, Mother."

"You silly child, you don't know how popular such good things are in the capital. Even if you can't finish them, you can share them with your family and friends."

It wasn't that she was stingy; it was just that the cherries and peaches that Nannan brought out were too precious. Even a small handful would be appreciated by the ladies and young women of noble families.

"Mother, I was just joking with you. These fruits we brought back are not ordinary. They won't harm your health no matter how much you eat. We can save them and eat them slowly. How could we not finish them?"

She would have no objection to giving away fruits and vegetables produced in her space.

But these were specially prepared for her relatives in the General's Mansion, and she would never use them to give as gifts.

"Okay, your grandmother and two sisters-in-law love this. It's really not appropriate to give it away. Let's keep it for our family to enjoy slowly."

"Mother, Li'er likes to eat it too."

Xue Li protested against her mother's neglect, her soft, cute voice pleasing to the ear.

"Yes, yes, and our Li'er also loves to eat it. We've saved it all for you, and we won't give it to anyone else."

Princess Lingjun has been in excellent health lately. Although the issues concerning her husband and two sons are still unresolved, good things have been happening one after another since her daughter returned to the mansion, and she is full of hope for the future.

"Mother-in-law, younger sister, younger brother, you're up so early."

Fang Lingruo and Aseli helped the old lady walk slowly from the backyard, one on each side.

"It's not early, we just got up not long ago. The old lady and the eldest and second sons' families arrived just in time. Ruanruan had the servants bring two large bamboo baskets full of fruit early this morning. There's enough for you to eat today."

"Really? My little sister really brought two more baskets of fruit? That's wonderful! My daughter-in-law even dreamt about it last night. I wish I hadn't slept in."

Arthur was as happy as a child; if she hadn't been supporting the old lady, she would have rushed into the main hall long ago.

"You little rascal, if you can't wait, go ahead and do it. Don't drag this old woman down with you."

The old lady smiled, her face full of wrinkles, and affectionately tapped her granddaughter-in-law's little head.

"Hehe, no way, if Grandma doesn't eat, we can't eat either."

"Little sister, you're so thoughtful. Your elder sister-in-law and second sister-in-law have also prepared gifts for you."

Fang Lingruo and Arthur had long planned to give their little sister a big gift, and they came to the front yard early this morning for this very reason.

If you don't come soon, your younger sister will have to go out and be busy again.

"Thank you very much, sister-in-law and second sister-in-law."

Xue Ruanruan didn't refuse, knowing that her two sisters-in-law were sincere. She really liked the harmonious atmosphere in the mansion, and her two sisters-in-law's love for her was no less than that for her mother.

"That's too kind of you. We don't like hearing it. It's what we should be given anyway."

After the two men helped the old lady to her seat, they took out the gifts they had prepared.

Fang Lingruo prepared a set of jewelry. She had noticed that her younger sister was not wearing any jewelry before and wanted to give her a set.

As the eldest daughter of the General of the State, she inevitably has to attend some gatherings, and if she doesn't have a nice outfit, she will be laughed at.

"What a beautiful headdress!"

Xue Ruanruan saw her sister-in-law take out a set of jewelry adorned with jewels and agates, with a pair of colorful butterflies exquisitely carved from gold, lifelike and dazzling.

"Try wearing it and see how it goes."

As Fang Lingruo put the headdress on Xue Ruanruan, a gasp came from the main hall.

So beautiful.

The elaborate and gorgeous headdress complements the smooth and glossy hair perfectly, adding a touch of nobility to the already extremely beautiful face.

Her figure was graceful, and her hair fell over her shoulders, making it difficult to distinguish her head from her face, which made her even more beautiful. Her stunning appearance perfectly complemented her head and face.

“My granddaughter is truly the most beautiful woman in the world. She is so lively and perfect that you can’t find any flaws.”

The old lady couldn't help but praise her, in her eyes her granddaughter was the most beautiful, and there was no girl more beautiful than her in the entire Chu-Qin Dynasty.

She was even several times more beautiful than Princess Lingjun was in her youth.

"The jewelry my sister-in-law gave me is exquisite, making my already beautiful face even more perfect. I wonder if my sister likes what I prepared."

Arthur had prepared a painting. After seeing her younger sister's true face, she was amazed and, upon returning to her room, used Western painting techniques to perfectly replicate her appearance.

Xue Ruanruan opened the scroll and saw that the person in the painting looked exactly like herself, without the slightest difference. She stared in shock.

I knew my second sister-in-law liked to paint, but I never expected her painting skills to be so amazing that she could paint people's faces so realistically.

"Lier's painting skills are becoming more and more exquisite. Grandmother looks at this painting and it looks like it was copied from Ruan Ruan's face. It's so lifelike."

If she hadn't witnessed the skin her granddaughter had peeled off when she first arrived, she wouldn't have believed that such a painting technique existed.

"No wonder you spend all day in your studio and don't even eat. Your skills are not even as good as those of contemporary painters."

Princess Lingjun greatly admired her daughter-in-law's paintings. In the past, her second daughter-in-law would stay in the painting room all day to paint, and she would even forget to eat.

The mother-in-law couldn't bear to see the child go hungry, so she sent a maid to deliver the food. Keli'er's obsession with painting had reached a point of madness.

Once you start painting, you must finish it, otherwise you can't drink a drop of water.

"Second sister-in-law, Ruan Ruan likes this painting. I like all the gifts you and eldest sister-in-law gave me."

Upon seeing this style of painting for the first time, Xue Ruanruan couldn't help but hug the painting to her arms.

Her two sisters-in-law are really good to her, and the gifts they prepared were very thoughtful.

Once her two elder brothers return to the capital from the frontier, she will definitely give them a thorough medical check-up and return to them healthy and valiant husbands.

Seeing that the gifts had been given out, the old lady instructed her maid to lift the cloth covering the bamboo basket. The younger generation all loved this treat, and even she, an old lady, couldn't help but drool with anticipation.

She was taken aback again when she saw the oranges, pineapples, and strawberries on top of the bamboo basket.

It's not a cherry peach, did they change the variety this time?

You should know that oranges and pineapples are fruits that are only grown in the south, and even in summer they are hard to find.

She must have had incredible luck to find such a blessed granddaughter.
