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

"Haha, you old fox really understands me. Take it, kid."

The eldest madam was a straightforward and open-minded person, but fate played a cruel trick on her. She gave birth to five sons, but only two survived. Over the years, she has been heartbroken and worried sick.

Although she was about the same age as the old lady, she looked several years older than her; she was a woman with a tragic fate.

"Thank you, Grandma Ruan Ruan."

"Mother, don't tire yourself out. Let your daughter-in-law see the only girl in our Xue family."

A still-attractive woman helped the old lady to the side, then reached out and pulled Xue Ruanruan aside, scrutinizing her closely.

"No wonder Mother said that. My niece Ruanruan is indeed beautiful and capable. Our Xue family is blessed."

"This is your great-grandmother's eldest daughter-in-law, from the Langya Wang clan."

Princess Lingjun, fearing her daughter might not recognize them, stood to the side and introduced them to Xue Ruanruan one by one.

"Ruanruan greets her aunt."

"Good, good, good, what a good child. Since it's our first meeting, your aunt will give you a set of jewelry. You'll always find it useful when you go out to meet your girlfriends or attend banquets."

Wang gave a wink to the maid behind her, who then brought over a set of exquisitely carved, openwork pure gold headdresses on a tray.

Adorned with precious jewelry such as pearls and agates, the headdress is dazzling, exudes nobility, and is quite valuable.

"Thank you for your kindness, Auntie."

"It would be too formal for a family to exchange pleasantries. When you get married, your aunt will give you an even better set."

"The set that your sister-in-law gave you is already a treasure. Don't spend any more money, lest people say you're biased."

Princess Lingjun knew that the Xue family had been struggling due to the General's Mansion's influence over the years, and that the jewelry her sister-in-law had given her was already valuable. How could she ask her to give her something even more valuable?

"Sister-in-law, that's not right. Ruan Ruan is the only girl in our Xue family. If we don't favor her, who will we favor?"

Madam Wang looked at Xue Ruanruan with affection and smiled as she refuted Princess Lingjun's words.

She genuinely planned to give Xue Ruanruan an even more valuable headdress after her wedding, an item that was the most treasured piece in her dowry and that she herself had never been willing to wear.

From the moment I first saw Xue Ruanruan, all I could think of was that headdress. I wondered how stunningly beautiful my little niece would look if she wore it.

It was as if that set of jewelry was custom-made for her.

"Hurry up and thank your aunt."

Princess Lingjun looked at the fine lines around her sister-in-law's eyes and thought of the suffering she had endured over the years, and couldn't help but feel sorry for her.

He glanced at his daughter, then suddenly remembered something, and his eyes lit up.

"Ruanruan thanks her aunt."

Xue Ruanruan bowed to Wang Shi again, and Wang Shi quickly helped her up.

“These three are your eldest uncle’s cousins. Your cousins ​​are guarding the border with the Xue family army. If you need anything in the future, you can ask your cousins ​​for advice and visit them more often.”

Princess Lingjun pointed to three pretty young women and introduced them to Xue Ruanruan.

"Ruanruan has met several of her cousins' wives."

"Good sister, please get up quickly."

A gentle and dignified young woman quickly stepped forward and helped Xue Ruanruan up.

The three cousins-in-law had different personalities, but they were all equally kind and gentle to Xue Ruanruan, and each of them took out the gifts they had prepared and handed them to her.

After exchanging pleasantries, they returned to their seats.

Next, I met all the women of the Xue family and received a pile of gifts, including gold, silver and jewelry, and everything else. The maids could hardly carry them all.

After receiving the gifts from her relatives, Xue Ruanruan asked her maid to bring out the gifts she had prepared in advance.

The elderly ladies, including the eldest and third eldest, received precious Chinese medicinal herbs such as saffron, cordyceps, and dendrobium officinale grown in the space.

These medicinal herbs look very old, and their color is deeper and shinier than ordinary ones; you can tell at a glance that they are not ordinary products.

There was also the donkey-hide gelatin she personally prepared, a generous portion for each person, which brought smiles of satisfaction to everyone, young and old alike.

The pills given to Wang and other women were beauty and skin-nourishing pills, which had the effects of delaying aging, brightening and coloring, and whitening and nourishing the skin, and were very popular.
