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

"Grandmother, there's no need for that. I've prepared a separate thank-you gift. These dishes are specially prepared for you, Mother, and my sisters-in-law."

Xue Ruanruan winked at the old lady, and the old lady understood. She must have taken out valuable tonics such as monkey wine, wild ginseng, and lingzhi from her spatial storage.

It was also due to their incompetence that the General's Mansion, which appeared dignified and solemn on the surface, had actually sold off all its valuable assets long ago.

I feel really bad that I can't provide a better life for my granddaughter and instead have to make her support herself.

"You're so kind, my dear girl. I won't stand on ceremony and will shamelessly come here to bask in your glory."

Knowing she couldn't offer any help, the old lady had no choice but to reluctantly agree.

"Look what Grandmother is saying. Your granddaughter has been wanting to show off her cooking skills for a long time, but she has been busy these days and hasn't had the time. When she has some free time another day, she will definitely cook a big feast for you to enjoy."

"Haha, you little rascal, you just know how to make your grandmother happy."

The old lady was indeed full of anticipation, waiting for her granddaughter to cook something delicious for her next time.

Xue Ruanruan had her maid prepare several large food boxes filled with carefully prepared dishes, which were first taken to the carriage. She then returned to her room and packed the precious nourishing medicinal herbs, such as wild ginseng and lingzhi, that she had prepared in advance into gift boxes.

"Ruanruan, you should go and come back soon. Your grandmother and mother are waiting for you to return home for dinner."

The old lady, draped in a thick cloak and leaning on a cane, personally escorted her granddaughter out of the mansion with the help of Princess Lingjun.

"Grandmother, go back with Mother. It's snowing heavily today; don't catch a cold."

The weather is still bad today. Since returning to Beijing, there haven't been many sunny days. The sky is gloomy, like a giant beast that wants to devour everything in the world, which makes people feel scared.

"Yes, Ruanruan, be careful on the road. If anything happens, send someone back to the manor with a message."

"Your grandmother is right. The road is slippery, so it's always good to be careful."

Unlike when Xue Li went to the academy, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were calm and composed, but now that Xue Ruanruan was going to the academy by carriage, the two of them were already extremely worried.

After countless words of advice and with reluctant farewells, the carriage slowly drove away into the distance.

The General's Mansion was not far from Luming Academy. Xue Ruanruan was sitting on the cushion in the carriage, resting with her eyes closed, when suddenly the carriage jolted violently, almost throwing her off.

"Young Miss, I failed in my duty and almost collided with the Regent's carriage."

The coachman's trembling voice came from outside the carriage, as if he had encountered something extremely terrifying.

Xue Ruanruan sighed and rubbed her forehead in exasperation. What a twisted fate this was! She was caught red-handed by Murong Xun for sneaking into the academy last night, and today she was caught by him again while trying to bribe the headmaster and the teacher.

If I didn't know he wasn't such a bored person, I would definitely suspect that Murong Xun had sent someone to secretly follow me.

Without a doubt, judging from the attitude of their own grooms, they were in the wrong this time, and it would be really unreasonable not to go out and apologize.

Xue Ruanruan steadied herself, smiled, lifted the carriage curtain, and stepped out.

"Miracle Doctor, what a coincidence, we meet again."

When Yan Xiao saw Xue Ruanruan come out, a surprised smile appeared on her face, and she took the initiative to greet her.

"Guard Yan, please forgive me for my rudeness earlier."

“You flatter us, Divine Physician. It’s all a small matter, not worth your personal apology. Our master is in the carriage too.”

After Yan Xiao finished speaking, she deliberately glanced into the carriage behind her, as if to indicate something.
