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

“Miss Xue’s medical skills are superb. Since I returned to the capital, I have been taking the medicine you gave me on time, and I haven’t had any relapses yet.”

When talking about his illness, Murong Xun's eyes shone with hope, seeing a glimmer of life.

It’s not a waste of time to break through the iron shoes.

Unexpectedly, the unassuming young woman he met on his way back to Beijing possessed such profound medical skills. After years of suffering from illness and never having had a good night's sleep, he had been sleeping exceptionally well these past few days, sleeping soundly until dawn.

I feel refreshed and my physical ailments have lessened considerably.

"It's good that it hasn't recurred. Let me take Your Highness's pulse again to see how your condition is."

Since I just received three thousand taels of silver from them, I should at least show my appreciation.

Xue Ruanruan was in a great mood and was more patient with Murong Xun. After carefully taking his pulse, she gave him a few acupuncture needles and wrote down the prescription on the paper with the brush that Murong Xun used to write the contract.

Her handwriting was very beautiful. Unlike the delicate, small regular script most commonly used by daughters of officials, Xue Ruanruan used a more elegant and graceful regular script.

The handwriting was clean, neat, beautiful, and elegant. Judging a person by their handwriting, a look of appreciation flashed in Murong Xun's eyes.

"Your Highness, please get the medicine according to this prescription. After taking it for half a month, your internal organs, which were damaged by the residual poison, will be able to recover by 80%."

She handed the prescription to Murong Xun, but he didn't take it for a long time. Xue Ruanruan looked up at him in confusion.

He was staring blankly at his hands, his eyes filled with obvious confusion.

Xue Ruanruan examined her hands carefully several times. Apart from being fair and delicate, there wasn't much to see.

Murong Xun, that pervert, could he have a hand fetish?

Her face flushed slightly, and she quickly stuffed the prescription into the other person's arms.

"Sorry, I was daydreaming just now."

Murong Xun snapped out of his confusion, took the prescription and put it in his sleeve pocket, his expression cold and aloof, showing no sign of anything amiss.

"Oh, if Your Highness is not in a hurry, you might as well use the medicinal herbs I provide. The effects are much better than those bought outside."

Murong Xun's body was in such bad shape that external medicine could help, but it was too slow to take effect. It would be better to use the medicinal herbs produced in the space directly.

"Alright, then let's wait for Miss Xue's good news."

Having finalized the delivery time and location, Xue Ruanruan, carrying a thick stack of silver notes and the newly signed contract, headed out of the mansion.

As soon as they stepped out of the mansion, Madam Dong and her maids were anxiously waiting outside. When they saw Xue Ruanruan emerge unharmed, they breathed a huge sigh of relief.

"Little sister, you're finally out! Your sister-in-law was so worried about you."

Madam Dong held Xue Ruanruan's hand as if afraid of losing her, and led her to the carriage.

"Sister-in-law, there's no need to worry. We're out now."

"Why did you stay in the Regent's villa for so long? Your sister-in-law was so worried that you would anger the prince. She was like an ant on a hot pan, extremely anxious."

"I'm sorry, sister-in-law, for making you worry. I'll bring you some food when we get back to the manor."

Since Xue Ruanruan intends to sell the spiritual items produced by her space, the Xue family members will definitely send some to each household.

As for where it came from, we'll discuss it with my grandmother and mother when we get back to the manor. We can just say that we bought it. Anyway, Murong Xun will cover for us and explain the source.

Xue Ruanruan didn't realize that she had unknowingly developed a dependence on Murong Xun.

"Oh my, Ruanruan is finally back. It's been so long since I've seen her. I feel so empty inside, like something's missing."

When the old lady saw Xue Ruanruan appear outside the courtyard, she quickly went to greet her.

“Li’er also misses her eldest sister. She feels empty inside, just like her grandmother, after not seeing her for half a day.”

Xue Li burst out of the main hall like a small cannonball, heading straight for Xue Ruanruan.

Just as he was about to crash into her arms, he abruptly stopped, as if frozen in place, and then respectfully bowed to her.

His adorable little face caused everyone present to burst into laughter.

Seeing this, Xue Ruanruan couldn't help but feel affection. She bent down and gently hugged Xue Li into her arms.

Then Xue Li's soft, sweet voice rang out: "Big sister, please don't hug Li'er. Li'er has grown up already."

As she spoke, she twisted her body, trying to break free from Xue Ruanruan's embrace.

The blush on her face became more pronounced, her large, clear eyes sparkled with a bright light, and she couldn't help but stretch her lips into a wide smile.

"It's alright, my sister is very strong, she can carry our Li'er."

Xue Ruanruan held the little one tightly in her arms, showing no intention of letting go.

She knew that although Li'er kept saying that she had grown up, she still longed for a warm hug from her family deep down.

Unfortunately, his grandmother was too old to hold him; his mother was in poor health and couldn't give him much care; and his younger brother, who had been cared for by his wet nurse since childhood, rarely had the opportunity to be held by his family.

As for his father and elder brothers, they were far away on the frontier, and each expedition would last for two or three years. They rarely even had the chance to see each other, let alone hold him.

Under the influence of such a family environment, Li'er, despite her young age, was forced to learn maturity and composure at an early age.

Like a little adult, she took great care of her elderly and frail grandmother and her ailing mother.

Seeing that her older sister had no intention of putting her down, Xue Li leaned on her shoulder, enjoying the warm embrace.

"Why have you been gone for so long? Is it possible to cure the scabies of the Third Miss of the Marquis's Mansion?"

The old lady was deeply gratified to see the loving relationship between the siblings.

Then she inquired about the illness of Dong's younger sister. In her opinion, since so many doctors in the capital couldn't cure her, her granddaughter's visit would fulfill this sentiment.

It would be best if she could be cured, but there's no need to force it if she can't. As the eldest daughter of the Xue family, she shouldn't have to suffer because of this.

"Yes, it's possible, but it will take some time. You'll need to take some medication and then come back for a follow-up appointment."

Xue Ruanruan did not mention the matter of the third young lady of the Marquis's mansion hanging herself. This was a private matter, and even though her grandmother was a person who kept her mouth shut, she did not want to gossip.

"That's good. It's almost noon. Have the servants bring the meal."

After waiting all morning, the old lady's stomach started to rumble, so she asked the servants to bring her the meal.

Lunch was still made with spirit rice that Xue Ruanruan took out from her spatial storage, and the aroma of the rice could be smelled from afar.

The old lady was already seated at the dining table early in the morning, and she couldn't stop smiling as she watched a full bowl of white rice being served.

This was brought back by my granddaughter from Medicine King Valley. She asked Xiao Dongjia to send some to the frontier, so my grandson should be able to eat some of this immortal rice.

However, the whereabouts of Yan'er and Heng'er were unknown, which made her unable to sleep for nights on end. She dared not show it in front of the younger generation, for fear of upsetting them.

Fang Lingruo and Arthur looked at the glistening rice grains on the table, their mouths watering.
