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

"Take me to the front yard quickly. It's such a sin that the clansmen know I got up so late."

Xue Ruanruan felt like slapping herself for oversleeping on their first meeting.

“Miss, there’s no need to blame yourself. The old lady and the madam have already explained to the ladies. They all feel sorry for you.”

Luo Xue had a sweet tongue, and with just a few words, she made Xue Ruanruan feel less nervous.

Just as he was about to step over the threshold, he suddenly pulled his foot back. Last time, he had given the elders a gift, and this time, since the women of the Xue family were coming to the mansion, he had to prepare one as well.

I happened to be harvesting rice and wheat in the space these past few days, and some spiritual herbs were just ripening. I took a break from my busy schedule to make some beauty and health pills.

Originally prepared for my grandmother, mother, and two sisters-in-law, the gifts were delivered to my door by the grandmothers and aunts from the clan before they were even sent out.

The women of the same clan in the previous life were not beheaded, but were reduced to slaves. Those with some beauty were sold to brothels, while those who were old and faded were exiled to Ningguta.

The consequences were predictable; no one survived.

"Ruanruan is here. Come and greet your relatives, including Grandma and Auntie."

The old lady beamed when she saw her granddaughter, her wrinkles deepening, but her complexion looked much better than before.

"Oh my, this is the only girl in the Xue family for eighteen generations. She is really beautiful, not inferior to the fairies in the heavens."

A hearty, loud voice came from the main hall, eliciting laughter from everyone.

"You old codger, you can't speak properly. There's no need to say more about the appearance of our Xue family's daughter. The main thing is that she is very capable. Among all the people in the Chu and Qin kingdoms, she is the only one who can become an apprentice of the divine physician."

Another, relatively gentle voice jokingly challenged her, and the room was filled with laughter.

It had been so long since she had heard such laughter; a misty look appeared in Xue Ruanruan's eyes.

"Ruanruan greets all the grandmothers, aunts and uncles and pays her respects."

"Oh my, our little darling, get up quickly and let Grandma take a good look at this fairy, who is so beautiful."

An elderly woman with gray hair, wearing a purple jacket, reached out and helped Xue Ruanruan to her feet, her eyes filled with kindness and goodwill.

"Greetings, Grandma. May you be blessed with good fortune."

"Okay, okay, get up quickly, child. You've suffered all these years away from home."

The old lady thought about how much hardship the Xue family girl must have suffered while wandering outside all these years, and tears welled up in her eyes with heartache.

“I didn’t suffer much, but my great-grandmother still worries about me.”

"Good child, since it's our first meeting, your grandmother doesn't have any valuable gifts. I'll give you this jade bracelet as a gift."

Without the slightest hesitation, the old lady took off the crystal-clear jade bracelet from her wrist and personally put it on Xue Ruanruan's hand.

Exclamations arose from the crowd; no one had expected that the old lady would give away the jade bracelet she had worn for decades.

It is said that jade nourishes the body, and this jade bracelet has long been able to protect its owner. The fact that the old lady was willing to part with it shows that she truly loves the Xue family's daughter.

"Grandma, this jade bracelet is too valuable. Ruanruan can't accept it."

"It is not appropriate to refuse a gift from an elder. This is a gift from your grandmother. If you are told to accept it, then accept it. If you refuse again, I will get angry."

The old lady firmly pressed down on the jade bracelet, preventing Xue Ruanruan from slipping it down.

"Take this. It's a token of the old woman's goodwill. You must treat your great-grandmother well in the future, and always remember this old woman when you get something good."

The old lady and the eldest lady had been sisters-in-law for many years and had an extraordinary relationship, so they spoke more freely.
