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

They knew that although their master appeared to be in a high position and wielded immense power, the national treasury was empty and disasters were frequent. The disaster relief funds used to control the floods last year were raised by their master himself.

The emperor was incompetent and extravagant, emptying the national treasury while indulging in singing, dancing, and Taoist practices, completely disregarding the lives of the people and the safety of the country.

The master worked tirelessly day and night for the country and its people, even paying out of his own pocket to repair dams and dig river channels, the amount of money he spent was incalculable.

If the supplies provided by the divine healer can earn more silver this time, the master won't have to spend so much time painstakingly investigating and confiscating the assets of corrupt officials to replenish the national treasury.

"Greed knows no bounds. In this year, it's already rare to be able to offer such scarce resources. Don't be too greedy."

Murong Xun glanced at Yan Xiao with a cold expression and reprimanded him.

"Yes, Master, I know I was wrong."

Yan Xiao was startled, realizing that she had been too greedy and had violated her master's taboo.

"The evidence in the Jiangnan flood embezzlement case has been almost collected, but it involves many families. I will set off for Jiangnan in person soon. The General of the State's Mansion should send people to protect them and not let those fools take advantage of the situation."

Murong Xun's face turned cold. He thought that he had only been away from the capital for half a year, but his brother and some people in the court couldn't sit still and cut off the border's food supplies. They thought they had Xue Yan under control, but little did they know that they had only made their own mistakes.

It’s simply asking for death!

The Jiangnan embezzlement case involves a wide range of people, and based on the evidence collected so far, the Left Prime Minister is implicated.

The court was rife with corrupt officials, creating a chaotic and corrupt atmosphere. These people used their power to amass wealth, causing widespread suffering among the people.

If these treacherous officials are allowed to continue their reckless behavior, then the Chu and Qin states will not be far from destruction.

As a key minister in the court, the Left Chancellor wielded considerable influence.

Why not make an example of the Left Chancellor as a warning to others?

Take this opportunity to rectify the government, eliminate those bad apples, and restore a bright and clear world for the people.

"Yes, master."

"Also, Miss Xue's place needs to be closely protected. My good nephews think they've grown too big for their britches and want to challenge me. If I don't grant them their wish, wouldn't I be an incompetent uncle?"

A cold glint flashed in Murong Xun's eyes. His elder brother was incompetent and foolish, and even his nephews were mediocre.

They have ambitions but don't even consider their own capabilities.

He had no interest in the Murong family's empire, but these people were so impatient and insisted on challenging him.

If we don't play along and have a go at it, they might actually think they're the chosen ones.

"Yes, your subordinate will do his utmost to properly arrange manpower and secretly protect Miss Xue."

Since it concerned his job, Yan Xiao's expression turned serious and composed.

Xue Ruanruan emerged from her spatial dimension, carrying a full bamboo basket of pearl apricots, winter dates, walnuts, and honeydew melons, which were Xue Li's favorite. With a smile on her face, she walked toward the main hall.

These past few days I've been picking peaches and cherries, and I couldn't help but want to change things up. I also picked walnuts specifically for my younger brother to help with his brain development.

"Little sister, why did you bring so much fruit again? We've been eating this all day long and our palates have become so picky. Eating anything else just doesn't taste the same."

When Fang Lingruo saw Xue Ruanruan bring a full bamboo basket of fruit again, her eyes lit up. She hadn't eaten any for several days and was really craving them.

I thought my younger sister had finished the fruits and vegetables she brought, so she went out of her way to buy some frozen pears, a common winter treat. But after just one bite, she didn't want to eat any more.
