The Eldest Daughter Returns with Power

Accompanied by Gongsun Lin, the old lady slowly arrived at the guest room that had been carefully prepared for her. As they opened the door, a faint floral fragrance wafted out, instantly uplifting their mood. The guest room was warmly and comfortably furnished, with every detail revealing the owner's thoughtfulness.

The old lady entered the room, looked around, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. Inside was a beautifully decorated large bed covered with a soft brocade quilt. Several landscape paintings hung on the walls, adding a touch of elegance. A pot of blooming flowers sat by the window, its fragrance filling the room and bringing life to the space. The old lady nodded in satisfaction, a smile spreading across her face.

"This is truly a wonderful place, even better than I imagined," the old lady said with a smile. Gongsun Lin, seeing his grandmother's joy, felt deeply gratified. He replied with a smile, "Grandmother, I'm glad you're satisfied. Yunruo has grown up in this environment all these years, and she's very happy here."

The old matriarch gently patted Gongsun Lin's hand, her eyes filled with affection: "Lin'er, I know you're a good child. It's wonderful that you and your brother are reunited."

Gongsun Lin smiled slightly, said nothing, and simply stayed by his grandmother's side. He knew that at this moment, no words were needed, only silent companionship.

After resting briefly in her guest room, the old lady began to admire the beautiful scenery outside the window. She sat quietly by the window, feeling the warmth of the sunlight on her skin, her heart filled with emotion.

Just then, Su Yunruo arrived with Luo Chun and Aunt Rou to see the Old Madam. They knocked gently on the door and entered the room. "Grandmother, how did you rest?" Su Yunruo asked with concern. "I'm fine, it's very comfortable here," the Old Madam replied. "Then let's go for a stroll around the manor together," Su Yunruo suggested.

"Okay, I was just thinking of going out for a walk." With that, she led Granny He and Su Yunruo out of the room.

Su Yunruo led her grandmother along the paths of the mountain villa, enjoying the beautiful scenery.

“Grandma, this is the back mountain. We used to play here a lot when we were little,” Su Yunruo said, pointing to a lush forest.

The old lady smiled and nodded: "Ruo'er, you spent many happy times here when you were little."

"Yes, Grandmother, I've been growing up in the manor ever since Master brought me back. My fellow disciples are all much older than me, and they all take good care of me. Master and Grandmaster are especially kind to me. To exaggerate a bit, I'm practically the little princess of the manor," Su Yunruo said playfully to the old lady.

As the grandmother and granddaughter walked and talked, Su Yunruo introduced the various corners of the manor to her grandmother, including the room she used to live in, the training ground, and the residence of her master and grandmaster.

The old lady listened with great interest, filled with curiosity about Su Yunruo's past.

"It's heartwarming to know that you had such a happy childhood here," the old lady said with emotion.

Su Yunruo smiled and nodded: "Yes, Grandmother, everything here is so wonderful."

The grandfather and grandson continued their stroll, enjoying this rare moment of tranquility.

Along the way, they encountered many servants from the manor, who all bowed and greeted the old lady.

The old lady nodded kindly in response.

When she reached a lake, Su Yunruo stopped and stared blankly at the water.

Seeing this, the old lady asked softly, "What's wrong? Ruo'er, did you remember something?"

Su Yunruo came back to her senses and shook her head: "It's nothing, it's just that seeing this lake reminded me of the times I used to play here."

The old lady smiled and gently patted Su Yunruo's hand: "Memories are always beautiful, but one must look forward; the future will be even more wonderful."

Su Yunruo took a deep breath and nodded: "Grandmother is right. I should cherish the time I have now and spend more time with you."

The grandfather and grandson smiled at each other and continued their stroll along the lake.

As they walked, they came to a small pavilion, where Su Yunruo asked her grandmother to sit down and rest for a while.

The old lady sat in the pavilion, looking at the surrounding scenery, her heart filled with emotion.

"Ruo'er, you look a lot like your mother, and you are very beautiful," the old lady suddenly said.

Su Yunruo smiled a little shyly: "Thank you for the compliment, Grandmother."

Su Yunruo lowered her head and smiled, "My master has indeed taught me a lot. He not only taught me martial arts, but also the principles of being a good person."

The old lady nodded in satisfaction: "Very good, that puts my mind at ease. I hope you can continue to maintain this."

Su Yunruo nodded firmly: "Grandmother, don't worry, I will definitely work hard."

The grandmother and granddaughter strolled around the villa for a while. Looking at the familiar surroundings, the old lady couldn't help but sigh, "Yunruo, you've lived here for so many years, you must have many unforgettable memories."

Su Yunruo smiled slightly, her eyes sparkling with memories, and said softly, "Yes, Grandmother. This is where I grew up, and every corner of it is filled with memories."

The old lady gently patted Su Yunruo's hand and said with emotion, "Seeing you doing so well here, your brother and I are relieved."

A warm feeling welled up in Su Yunruo's heart. This was the first time she had felt so deeply the care and love from her grandmother and brother. She nodded gently, a joyful smile on her face.

Just then, Yuwen Mo walked over, bowed to Su Yunruo, and said respectfully, "Junior Sister, Master and Grandmaster would like to invite the Old Madam to have dinner together."

Su Yunruo turned to look at Yuwen Mo, smiled and nodded, then turned to the old matriarch and asked, "Grandmother, what do you think?"

The old lady readily agreed. So, Yuwen Mo led the grandmother and granddaughter to the dining hall. Along the way, Su Yunruo and Yuwen Mo chatted happily, while the old lady listened quietly, occasionally interjecting a few words, creating a very harmonious atmosphere.

"Yunruo, Madam, you've arrived." Master greeted them warmly, his face beaming with a smile. Grandmaster also smiled and nodded, "Yes, Madam, the lunch was too simple. Please accept this as a welcome dinner. We hope you won't mind." Su Yunruo bowed to her master and grandmaster, then sat down to the side.

The old lady praised the dishes at the manor highly. "Yunruo, the culinary skills in your manor's kitchen are truly remarkable. I haven't tasted such delicious food in a long time," the old lady said with a smile. Su Yunruo smiled and replied, "Grandmother, the kitchen's culinary skills are indeed excellent, but the main reason is that the ingredients are carefully selected. As you know, my master is skilled in medicine and poisons, and many dishes at the manor are medicinal cuisine made by adding medicinal herbs to them."

Hearing this, the old lady's eyes lit up, and she asked curiously, "Oh? What are the effects of these medicinal dishes?" Su Yunruo patiently explained, "This dish is called 'A Hundred Flowers in Bloom,' which is made by stewing various flowers and precious medicinal herbs. It has the effects of beautifying the skin, nourishing yin and tonifying the kidneys; this dish, 'Dragon and Phoenix Bringing Auspiciousness,' is made by stewing snake meat and chicken. It can strengthen the body and prolong life..."

The old lady listened with great interest, nodding in praise from time to time. She picked up a piece of "Dragon and Phoenix Bringing Auspiciousness" and put it in her mouth. After savoring it carefully, she exclaimed, "It really tastes delicious and has nourishing effects. Yunruo, your master is really amazing!" Su Yunruo smiled and said, "I'm glad that Grandmother likes it. My master is skilled in medicine and will naturally adjust the medicinal diet according to different people's constitutions and needs."

At this moment, the master spoke up, "Grandma, Yunruo is right. Our manor's medicinal cuisine is not only delicious, but more importantly, it can help people regulate their bodies and maintain their health. If you'd like, you can stay a few more days so I can properly help you recuperate." The Grandma was deeply moved upon hearing this.

Dinner ended in a pleasant atmosphere, and everyone felt very satisfied.

Su Yunruo and Gongsun Lin carefully escorted the old lady back to her guest room. They then helped Granny He tidy up the room and settled the old lady comfortably. The two stood quietly by the bed and said softly, "Grandmother, you've had a long day, please rest early."

The old matriarch nodded slightly, a kind smile on her face, and said softly, "Yunruo, you are such a well-behaved and sensible child. All these years, you've been wandering alone, you must have suffered a lot, right?" Su Yunruo smiled slightly and gently shook her head, "Grandmother, I'm doing very well. My master, grandmaster, and fellow disciples are all very kind to me, and I'm very happy living here." The old matriarch gently patted Su Yunruo's hand, her eyes filled with tenderness, "Yunruo, you are truly a strong child. From now on, you have us." Su Yunruo nodded heavily, her heart filled with gratitude. She knew that no matter what difficulties she faced in the future, she would have the support and love of her family and her master and grandmaster.
