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

In her previous life, Xue Ruanruan had visited Xue Li's academy, located in the most prosperous area of ​​the capital, not far from the Zhenguo General's Mansion.

Knowing his master was in a hurry, the coachman urged the horse on as fast as he could. In the quiet snowy night, the only sound was the clatter of the horse's hooves on the snow.

Xue Ruanruan lifted a corner of the carriage curtain and looked at the increasingly thick snow outside, her face showing anxiety.

My younger brother has been precocious since childhood, acting like a little adult. He is meticulous in everything he does. In the past, if he couldn't return home on time because it was too late, he would send someone to deliver a message to his family so as not to worry them.

But it's so late today, and he still hasn't come home. Something must have happened.

Xue Ruanruan's slender, jade-white fingers gripped the corner of the carriage curtain tightly, her face pale with worry.

"Little sister, don't worry, Li'er will be alright."

Arthur gently comforted Xue Ruanruan, but in reality, he was also extremely anxious.

She practically raised Xue Li herself, and she knew his personality and temperament quite well. Unless he encountered trouble, she would never let her family worry about him.

"Yes, Li'er is so smart, she will definitely be fine."

As if comforting her second sister-in-law, or perhaps trying to convince herself, Xue Ruanruan was completely unaware that her voice was trembling slightly.

The carriage finally came to a slow stop in front of the Luming Academy.

However, what she saw before her eyes shattered her last glimmer of hope.

The academy gate, which had been thought to be open, was now tightly closed, with a heavy padlock hanging on it.

This means that there is no one left in the academy; the teacher and students have all gone home.

But what about her son, Li'er?

Where did they go then?

"this......"

Arthur was also surprised to find that the academy had already closed, but his younger brother had not returned home.

"Second sister-in-law, please wait here. I'll go inside and take a look."

Xue Ruanruan calmed herself down, glanced at the big locust tree by the courtyard wall, and had an idea.

She absolutely did not believe that her younger brother would not tell the family if something had happened to him; she feared something serious must have occurred.

"How do I get in, little sister?"

Asri's aquamarine eyes were filled with confusion. The Deer Cry Academy was established with special funds from the imperial court for the sons of important officials.

To ensure the safety of the young masters, the walls of Luming Academy were built very high, making it impossible for ordinary people to climb over.

"Go in from there."

Xue Ruanruan pointed to the big locust tree, one of its branches extending into the academy. She could use the branch to climb onto the wall and jump over it.

"No, that's too dangerous."

Arthur was terrified. The courtyard wall was already high enough, but he didn't expect his little sister to be so brave as to try to climb to a higher tree branch and jump over the wall.

It's too dangerous; a slight mishap could cost you your life.

"It's alright, Second Sister-in-law, you can wait here. I'll be back soon."

After speaking, Xue Ruanruan didn't wait for Aseli's response. She moved slightly and dashed towards the tall locust tree like an arrow.

In the blink of an eye, I arrived at the locust tree. With a graceful running start, I leaped up and, like a light swallow, easily climbed the branches of the locust tree.

Standing on the locust tree, Xue Ruanruan was agile and quick.

Without pausing, she used the elasticity of the branches to leap over the towering courtyard wall in a few bounds and instantly disappeared from sight.

Arthur stared in astonishment at everything, his mouth agape. He had never imagined that his seemingly frail sister-in-law would possess such amazing skills.

She seems to be hiding many secrets.
