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

However, the emperor was incompetent and obsessed with cultivating immortality and seeking the secret to eternal life. If he knew that she possessed a magical artifact, he would not only fail to protect her, but would also use all sorts of means to seize it for himself.

After much deliberation, she concluded that only the Regent had the power to rival the Emperor and protect her, and only he was a person she could trust.

If she hadn't lived through a lifetime and known that Murong Xun wasn't a petty person who coveted other people's treasures, she would most likely have avoided him like the plague, just like before.

Some losses are best experienced only once.

“Ruanruan, you can speak freely. You don’t need to worry about anything in front of your grandmother. Even if the sky falls, your grandmother will hold it up for you.”

Seeing her granddaughter's serious expression, the old lady thought she had gotten into some trouble or offended someone, and tried to comfort her.

"Yes, Ruanruan, your grandmother and I will take care of you if anything happens. Tell us what happened first, so we can have a better understanding of the situation and then we can think of a solution."

Princess Lingjun looked much better than before, but she was still sickly and lacked energy.

That was a heart ailment caused by excessive worry at night for her husband and son who were far away on the frontier; even the best medicine could not cure it.

“Grandmother, Mother, don’t overthink it. Ruan Ruan didn’t cause any trouble. She just has something to tell you.”

Seeing the worry and concern on her grandmother and mother's faces, Xue Ruanruan felt incredibly soft-hearted. This must be the meaning of her rebirth.

"what's up?"

"Ahem, what do Grandmother and Mother think of the fruit and rice I brought out?"

"Of course, that's wonderful. I've eaten all sorts of delicacies over the years, but the rice that our little girl Ruanruan brought is the most to my liking. If I weren't so full, I would have liked to have another bowl of rice."

“My mother-in-law and I share the same opinion. It’s no exaggeration to say that the things Ruan Ruan brought back are divine treasures. I have been favored by my father and brothers since I was a child. I have eaten countless delicacies in Fufeng Kingdom, but none of them can compare to the fruits and rice you brought back.”

Princess Lingjun was not exaggerating; she had seen and eaten far more delicious things than even the old lady.

What I used to consider rare and delicious things are still far inferior to the fruits and rice my daughter brought back.

"That's exactly what Ruan Ruan is talking about, but it's not convenient to talk about it in the main hall. Let's go back to Grandmother's Yihe Garden to talk about it."

"Why are you being so secretive, kid?"

Princess Lingjun gave Xue Ruanruan a doting look, and together with Granny Fang, they each helped the old lady back to Yihe Garden.

The old lady dismissed all the servants and only allowed Xue Ruanruan to close the door after confirming that no one was in the courtyard.

"Now is that alright? All the servants in the courtyard have been dismissed."

"Hehe, Grandma still loves her granddaughter the most."

Seeing that she had done her job, Xue Ruanruan quickly stopped and began massaging the old lady's shoulders and back, her ingratiating manner making her look very comfortable.

"Alright, just say what you have to say."

The old lady enjoyed her granddaughter's massage for a while, then slowly opened her eyes, a smile in them.

"Grandmother, Mother, what Ruan Ruan is about to say may be hard to accept. Please be prepared."

The space within the jade pendant was like a fairyland, something ordinary people wouldn't even dare to dream of. To avoid startling them, I gave them a few words of warning first.

"Is there anything that I cannot accept?"

The old lady's weathered eyes gazed silently out the window, her gaze unfocused.

Back then, the old Duke was a brave and fearless warrior who fought on the battlefield, but unfortunately died on the battlefield, his body wrapped in a horse's hide.

The only legitimate son is still missing and his fate is unknown.

The eldest grandson accidentally fell off a cliff and is now on the verge of death.

Because the emperor was wary and distrustful, he deliberately delayed the delivery of military rations, which resulted in the Xue family army, which was guarding the border of Chu and Qin, having to rely on digging up grass roots and gnawing on tree bark to survive in the dead of winter.

She survived such a difficult situation; what could be more unbearable than this?

She knew she couldn't be defeated; she had to stand strong and hold up the General's Mansion to find a glimmer of hope for her family.

"Grandmother, this is a good thing."

Seeing her grandmother's sorrowful expression, Xue Ruanruan knew she had misunderstood.

“Your granddaughter lied to you when she said that the grains, cherries, and peaches were brought back from Medicine King Valley.”

"what?!"

The old lady suddenly stood up and scrutinized Xue Ruanruan, as if trying to discern something from her.

"Why did you lie, child?"

Princess Lingjun also got anxious and reached out to pat her back, but not hard.

"Those grains and cherries were actually taken from my jade pendant space, not brought back from Medicine King Valley."

Xue Ruanruan was afraid that if she didn't speak up directly, she would probably get slapped again.

"Jade pendant space? What is that?"

"Just say what you have to say directly. You're taking three breaths for every sentence. Are you trying to scare your mother to death?"

Princess Lingjun gave Xue Ruanruan a light slap on the back of the head again.

“You said it yourself, so I’ll just take Grandmother and Mother in to see where they came from.”

Xue Ruanruan held the old lady with her left hand and Princess Lingjun with her right hand, closed her eyes, and silently recited a few words.

The three people in the room suddenly disappeared and reappeared under the cherry tree in the space in the blink of an eye.

The branches are laden with glistening, pale yellow cherries, which are densely packed among the branches, turning the whole tree a pale yellow color, like golden bells swaying in the wind.

Not far away, there were rows of trees laden with brightly colored fruits: fiery red apples, golden oranges, and glistening purple grapes...

In the distance, as far as the eye can see, stretches an endless expanse of golden rice and wheat fields. The heavy ears of rice bend the stalks low, and when the wind blows, the golden waves of wheat roll and ripple, creating a magnificent spectacle, like the surging, powerful waves of the sea.

There are also vast fields of medicinal herbs, with ginseng bearing red beads, patches of lingzhi mushrooms, violets with small purple flowers, and many more herbs whose names I don't know, all intertwined and connected, like a colorful ocean.

The old lady, who had never left the capital in her entire life, had never seen such a magnificent sight before. She stared at the distance in astonishment, her eyes gleaming with excitement and shock.

"This this......"

"Grandmother, please don't get excited. All of this belongs to your granddaughter alone. If you want to come in the future, feel free to come and relax. You can eat whatever you want."

Seeing her grandmother so excited she couldn't speak, Xue Ruanruan pointed to the boundless fertile fields around her, asserting her sovereignty.

The old lady wouldn't listen to a word Xue Ruanruan said, and tears streamed down her face as she looked at the vast expanse of fertile land.

All he could think about was that Xue's army was saved, the general's mansion was saved, and the soldiers on the frontier would no longer have to dig up grass roots and gnaw on tree bark.

The usually strong old lady was both crying and laughing. All the grievances she had suffered over the years turned into tears, which flowed down from her dim eyes.

The little granddaughter is indeed the Xue family's lucky star. She brought such a big surprise as soon as she arrived. I don't know what to do.
