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

"Granddaughter, listen to your grandmother and don't tell him for now. But with so much spirit rice and spirit wheat, we don't know when it will be time to harvest it all."

Xue Ruanruan thought back to the two previous harvests of spirit rice and spirit wheat, which almost exhausted her. At that time, she was filled with resentment and was anxious to send the grain to her father and brothers who were far away on the frontier.

If she were asked to harvest again, she would say it's beyond her capabilities and she can't do it.

Upon hearing this, both the old lady and Princess Lingjun were stunned.

They were so happy to have so much grain, vegetables, and medicinal herbs that they neglected the issue of harvesting.

Both of them were pampered young ladies from noble families who had never done farm work, and they didn't know what to do.

"Although your grandmother and mother have never done farm work, they can help with the fruit on the trees and the herbs in the medicinal fields. We should harvest a small amount of rice and wheat first to gauge the Regent's attitude and leave it for him to harvest later."

As the saying goes, experience is the best teacher. The old lady's eyes lit up, and she came up with a good idea.

I definitely can't tell anyone about the jade pendant's space. Since I've chosen the Regent as my backer and partnered with him in business, I can't let him take such a great advantage for nothing.

Paying a reasonable price is not unacceptable.

The Regent's Palace, in the study

A tall and upright figure sat at the desk, dressed in an elegant long robe, his expression focused and serious.

Murong Xun, who was handling official business in his study, suddenly sneezed, completely unaware that someone was already keeping an eye on him.

"Master, are you alright? Did you catch a cold during the night?"

Yan Xiao and Yue Yin, who were guarding outside the study, heard the sneeze and immediately asked with concern, as if facing a formidable enemy.

Since taking the elixir given by the divine healer, the master's health has improved significantly.

After returning home, the illness did not recur, and the quality of sleep improved significantly, allowing him to sleep soundly until dawn.

They were grateful to the divine healer, but dared not slack off in the slightest. Their master's body could no longer withstand any more strain; even a minor cold could take his life.

"It's alright, you don't need to stand guard outside the study."

A thick stack of documents was already laid out on the table, all of which were evidence of collusion between local officials and embezzlement of disaster relief funds from the imperial court during the summer floods in Jiangnan.

After working for several days, he finally gathered all the evidence. Murong Xun rubbed his brows, relaxed, leaned back in his chair, and sipped his tea.

Suddenly remembering the deal he had made with Miss Xue from the Zhenguo General's Mansion to sell grains, fruits, vegetables, and medicinal herbs, he took out a blank sheet of Xuan paper and began to draft a contract.

In the spacious and bright study, a tall and upright figure sat at the desk, holding a wolf-hair brush in his hand, writing with great speed and strength.

Sunlight streamed softly through the window, casting dappled patterns of light and shadow on the table.

The light and shadow reflected on the man's calm and resolute face, making him appear even more handsome and extraordinary, with an outstanding temperament, like a celestial being descended to earth.

"Grandmother is the best. I'll start harvesting rice and wheat in the space these next few days, as much as I can. You and Mother can help pick fruits, vegetables and medicinal herbs."

After saying this, Xue Ruanruan hurriedly walked towards the rice field. In any case, she only needed to be responsible for the harvesting. The subsequent drying and processing work would naturally be handled by Murong Xun's people, so she didn't need to worry about it.

The old lady and Princess Lingjun were all smiles, one busy picking fruit from the tree, and the other focused on collecting various precious medicinal herbs.

The two had never done this kind of work before, and they found it very novel. They were fully engaged and filled with joy and satisfaction. It was much more interesting than staying in the mansion all day, and they were very busy.

When I feel thirsty, I pick a fresh, juicy fruit to quench my thirst.

This magical space not only contained familiar fruits such as apples, pears, and cherries, but also many exotic fruits that they had never seen or even heard of before, which was truly an eye-opener.

Time moves much slower inside than outside. Xue Ruanruan quickly harvested the golden rice ears with a sickle, and behind her, bundles of spirit rice were neatly stacked.

Only when he was too tired to do anything else did he drag his weary body to find his grandmother and mother.

“Ruanruan, come here quickly. Grandmother has really seen something new today. I didn’t expect there to be monkeys here. I was watching them when I was picking fruit, as if they were guarding against me stealing their things. They are so cute.”

When the old lady saw her granddaughter coming over, she smiled and pointed to the monkeys in the tree.

Xue Ruanruan looked up and saw several monkeys, their bodies radiating golden light, sitting on tree branches, watching them warily.

What was said in jest was taken seriously by the listener. Suddenly, a thought struck her, and she remembered that in her previous life, Murong Luo had somehow found several large vats of monkey wine.

Monkey wine is a fragrant liquid made by monkeys picking various wild fruits, storing them in tree holes, and allowing them to ferment and decompose over a long period of time.

This liquid has a fragrant aroma and a mellow taste, making it a rare and precious wine, truly one of a kind in the world.

It was with these monkey wines that Murong Luo successfully won over Lin Zhongfei, a reclusive master who had long since retired to the mountains and no longer concerned himself with worldly affairs.

Lin Zhongfei is a man of great talent. He is not interested in power, wealth, or beautiful women, but he is addicted to alcohol. However, he is extremely picky about his taste and very difficult to bribe.

It was with these monkey wines that Murong Luo managed to persuade Lin Zhongfei to leave the mountain and recruit him into his ranks.

With Lin Zhongfei's help, Murong Luo became even more powerful, easily defeating the other princes who were vying for the throne with unparalleled strength.

Even the most powerful Murong Xun suffered a silent loss in this battle.

How could she forget such an important person?

Although she possessed a spatial ability in her previous life, she didn't spend much time inside it because the place was too large and she hadn't explored it thoroughly.

They didn't even know there were monkeys in the forest, let alone monkey wine.

It seems that Murong Luo found the monkey wine in his own space.

He used the spatial artifacts he stole from her to win people's hearts, and used the military power given to him by his father to defeat the princes.

The first thing he did after ascending the throne was to order the confiscation of the Zhenguo General's mansion and the extermination of the Xue family's nine generations. What a vicious heart he had.

"Grandmother, it seems to me that I'm trying to prevent them from taking their things."

"Does Ruanruan think so too? Grandmother thought I was seeing things, but they're just a few monkeys. What could they possibly have to take? Animals are animals."

The old lady shook her head and smiled, not taking it to heart.

Xue Ruanruan smiled and shook her head. Her grandmother probably hadn't expected the monkey to brew wine.

"Grandma, have you ever heard of monkey wine?"

"Monkey wine? I've heard the old Duke mention it many times before, but what does it have to do with monkey wine?"

The old lady looked confused, not understanding what her granddaughter was trying to say.

Back when the old Duke was alive, he was leading his troops on a march through a dense forest when he got lost.

After a long journey, and feeling parched and hungry, they were led by a rather intelligent monkey to the foot of a towering tree. There, they smelled the sweet fragrance of fruit and found monkey wine in a tree hole.
