As the carriage passed through the most bustling streets of the capital, Xue Ruanruan couldn't help but peek out. She remembered that in her previous life, there was a shop owner in this area whose son was chased into the shop and beaten into a cripple because of gambling.

To pay for his son's medical treatment and to pay off gambling debts, he had no choice but to sell the shop that was practically a gold mine.

The shop was in a very good location, perfect for doing business. Because the owner needed the money urgently, he offered a price significantly lower than the market price.

Unfortunately, by the time she found out, it was too late; the item had already been bought by someone else.

Xue Ruanruan only remembered that it was around this time, but she forgot the exact date.

"Little sister, is something the matter?"

Seeing that Xue Ruanruan was absent-minded and kept looking out the window, Madam Dong asked her with concern.

"Sister-in-law, you go back first, I'm going out for a walk."

Xue Ruanruan had a sudden inspiration: why not go and take a look first, and then send a servant to keep an eye on things when she got back?

"You're new to the capital and haven't strolled around the streets yet, have you? Since we're not in a hurry to go back today, I'll take you for a walk."

Madam Dong was grateful to Xue Ruanruan for saving Dong Wan's life. Hearing that Dong Wan wanted to leave, she quickly spoke up.

In addition, she was worried that if she went back first, her sister-in-law, who was new to the area and so beautiful, might encounter a lecherous man and ruin her reputation, which would be a great sin on her part.

"it is good"

Xue Ruanruan was about to refuse, but seeing her sister-in-law's worried face, she took back her words and nodded in agreement.

In any case, the clansmen would find out about the shop purchase sooner or later, and the money used was given by the eldest cousin's family.

When the beauty salon opens in the future, I will definitely bring my sisters-in-law to the store for beauty treatments.

After the snowstorm cleared, the streets of Beijing were bustling with activity, as vendors dressed in ordinary linen clothes enthusiastically hawked their wares.

Xue Ruanruan looked out the window through the curtains. The streets were bustling with people who had been cooped up for half the winter.

"Murder! Help!"

Suddenly, a heart-wrenching wail came from ahead, which was especially clear in the already noisy street.

"Little sister, why don't we take another route? There seems to be something going on ahead, so we don't want to bump into you."

Madam Dong also heard the noise outside, glanced at her beautiful and graceful sister-in-law, and felt somewhat worried.

"Don't worry, sister-in-law, let me get dressed."

Xue Ruanruan knew what her eldest sister-in-law was worried about, smiled calmly, took out a fake human face from the medicine box, and attached it to her own face.

Soon, a girl with an ordinary appearance and dark complexion appeared in front of Dong Shi. Compared with her previous appearance, it was like heaven and earth.

"This...you..."

Madam Dong was stunned by the miraculous scene before her. Her hands trembled as she looked at Xue Ruanruan in disbelief, wondering how her sister-in-law's appearance had suddenly changed.

"Don't worry, sister-in-law, it's just a disguise."

Xue Ruanruan smiled brightly and explained calmly.

"Disguise? Does disguise really exist in this world?"

Unlike the old lady, who was well-informed and had a high acceptance of disguise techniques, Madam Dong always thought that disguise techniques were just a rumor.

If Xue Ruanruan's eyes weren't as bright and moist as before, Madam Dong would have suspected that the person in front of her had been switched.

"Of course there is. Perhaps others don't, but sister-in-law, don't forget that my master is the divine physician Ling Xuzi."

"That's right. If you hadn't reminded me, I would have almost forgotten that you are the only disciple of the Divine Doctor. You have superb medical skills and can also use disguise. Our Xue family is so lucky."

Mrs. Dong quickly regained her composure, her eyes crinkling into slits with laughter, no longer worried about getting sick.

"My son, open your eyes and look at your father! My son, how can I live if you die?"

The heart-wrenching cries still lingered in my ears, even clearer than before.

Xue Ruanruan's expression turned serious as she suddenly remembered that in her previous life, she was the son of the owner of this shop who had been crippled by thugs at a gambling den because of gambling.

It can't be such a coincidence that this happened today.

"What's wrong, little sister?"

"Sister-in-law, please wait in the carriage. It seems someone is injured outside. I'll go check on them."

Xue Ruanruan couldn't wait for Dong Shi's response, so she lifted the curtain and jumped off the carriage.

Unfortunately, she was preoccupied with the shop's affairs, too impatient, and overestimated her skills. Suddenly, she jumped off the carriage and fell heavily to the ground.

A powerful neighing sound, accompanied by the clatter of hooves, came from ahead.

Turning around, she saw a robust, glossy black steed, Treading Snow Black Steed, pulling a luxurious carriage, galloping towards her.

Xue Ruanruan's eyes widened, and before she could react, the horse was already close at hand, its hooves about to trample her.

A black figure leaped out from behind the golden curtain, and almost instantly lunged forward.

A strong arm swept her up around the waist, and with a powerful push, rolled her towards the roadside with lightning speed.
