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

In an instant, the carriage drove past her, and Xue Ruanruan was so frightened that she kept her eyes tightly shut and dared not open them.

"Run, everyone! It's the Regent's carriage!"

"The Regent has returned to the capital. Everyone, get out of the way or you'll become victims of his blade."

"Which unlucky girl is this? How did she get involved with this evil spirit? What a pity."

"The Regent has returned to the capital. Everyone, evacuate quickly."

......

The crowd of onlookers who had been thronging the streets to watch the spectacle quickly retreated, one of them recognizing the Regent's carriage.

The once bustling street instantly became deserted, with only faint sobs heard.

"Next time you're looking to die, find a quiet place."

A cold, magnetic male voice came from above her head. Xue Ruanruan knew she was safe and slowly opened one eye to look up.

A man dressed in a robe with dragon patterns, wearing a jade crown and a jade belt inlaid with emerald gemstones was coldly staring at him.

The man had a face as beautiful as jade, refined yet domineering, with a slight upturn at the corners of his mouth and a cold smile in his dark, deep eyes.

When Xue Ruanruan saw the other person's face clearly, her jaw almost dropped in surprise. What kind of twisted fate was this, to have encountered that treacherous minister Murong Xun again?

"Mù... Thank you so much for saving my life, young master."

Xue Ruanruan almost called out Murong Xun's name, but quickly corrected herself, keeping her distance from him and maintaining a cold and aloof attitude.

"It's alright, consider it repaying your previous kindness."

Murong Xun stared coldly and expressionlessly at the woman who had distanced herself from him. He immediately recognized her as the girl who had saved him and given him medicine on his way back to the capital the day before.

"Young master has a good memory. I have other important matters to attend to, so I will take my leave now."

Ignoring the severe pain in her arms and knees, Xue Ruanruan gritted her teeth and turned to walk towards the shop from which the cries were coming.

Murong Xun raised an eyebrow, watching the hurried figure, a glint of light flashing in his dark eyes.

"Master, are you alright?"

Yan Xiao rushed over anxiously, his eyes fixed on his master, Murong Xun, and didn't even spare a glance for Xue Ruanruan.

Xue Ruanruan was completely ignored, and she curled her lip, thinking that the two of them, master and servant, were truly birds of a feather.

"fine"

Murong Xun brushed the dust off his clothes and turned to leave.

Xue Ruanruan could swear that she saw disdain in the other person's eyes.

snort!

That scoundrel is nothing but a handsome face. If she didn't have memories of her past life, she would definitely stay far away from him.

Unfortunately, Xue Ruanruan knew it was impossible. She still owed Murong Xun a favor, and even if she was met with indifference, she would still have to do as he said.

"The miracle doctor? What are you doing here?"

Yan Xiao turned around to follow her master, only to notice that there seemed to be a girl standing next to her master. Upon closer inspection, she realized that it was someone she knew.

"I'm just taking a stroll. Guard Yan, you don't need to see me off."

Xue Ruanruan had no interest in chatting with him and hurriedly turned around and walked towards the front of the shop.

If it really was the shop owner's son who was injured by the thugs, she could use this opportunity to discuss purchasing the shop with the owner.

"Little sister, how are you? Are you alright?"

Madam Dong and her maidservant ran over from a distance. The carriage had been traveling too fast, and by the time they stopped and returned, it was already too late.

Madam Dong was so frightened that she almost lost her mind. If something happened to her sister-in-law, she didn't know how she would explain it to the old lady and Princess Lingjun.

Even her parents-in-law and husband would resent her, after all, her sister-in-law was the only girl in the Xue family. Although she was not her mother-in-law's biological daughter, the Xue family treated her like the apple of their eye.

"Sister-in-law, I'm fine, don't worry, it's just a minor injury."

Xue Ruanruan clutched her arm, blood seeping from between her fingers, staining her fair, jade-like fingers crimson.

Startled, Madam Dong quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe her face and urged her to return to the mansion.

Xue Ruanruan wouldn't listen to her advice. She took out a piece of white gauze from the medicine box, simply bandaged the wound, and walked forward.
