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

Chapter 115 Food Supplies Run Out

I was worried that Headmaster Ren would be difficult to approach and that I might not be able to send this gift, but things have gone so smoothly.

Not only did he send out the thank-you gift, but he also learned that he and his wife would be paying a visit. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Everything was proceeding according to plan. In this new life, she was determined to build up a few powerful backers for her family and, incidentally, drag down those villains who framed her father.

This time, she will absolutely not allow Murong Luo to inherit the throne, nor will she let any of his lackeys who rely on their master's power get away with it.

Xue Ruanruan's eyes involuntarily turned fierce, a scene that was witnessed by the silent Master Huang.

He lowered his eyelids, looked at the reflection in the wine glass, concealing the deep meaning in his eyes, and tilted his head back to drink the monkey wine in one gulp.

Xue Li did not attend class in the afternoon. With the teacher's permission, he followed Xue Ruanruan back to the General's Mansion in a carriage.

The fair-skinned baby stared silently at the blizzard outside the car window the whole way, lost in thought, her little eyebrows almost furrowed together.

"Li'er, is something on your mind?"

Xue Ruanruan was worried that her younger brother was being bullied by his classmates, which would hurt his young heart, so she couldn't help but ask him.

"Big sister, did Li'er do something wrong and cause you trouble?"

Xue Li's voice was muffled, and he was in low spirits.

He thought that as long as he didn't directly confront Wang Yuchen and his group, he wouldn't cause trouble for his family.

Today, my elder sister came to the academy in person, risking to make an enemy of the Left Prime Minister, just to seek justice for him, so that he might get into big trouble.

“Why would Li’er think that way? You’ve done very well. Look at some of your peers, they only cause trouble for their families. Little brother has never worried his grandmother and mother, and he is also highly regarded by the headmaster and other teachers. Big sister is proud of you.”

Looking at Xue Li's dejected expression, Xue Ruanruan couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache.

Li'er is only a few years old, yet he has to endure so much for his family. She doesn't want him to be so mature and sensible, as that would stifle his natural instincts.

"Really?"

Xue Li stared intently at Xue Ruanruan with his clear, bright eyes, full of anticipation.

"Of course it's true. When has your older sister ever lied to you?"

Xue Ruanruan stretched out her fair fingers and stroked Xue Li's fluffy little head a few times, gently comforting him.

"Yes, eldest sister has never lied to Li'er."

Upon receiving affirmation, Xue Li's little face was filled with a smile, and she laughed happily with her little mouth open.

He rarely laughs like this; it's a sign of the innocence and naivety of someone his age.

"Don't mention today's events to your grandmother and mother when you get back to the manor, so as not to worry them. If you encounter any difficult problems at the academy in the future, you can come to your eldest sister."

"Yes, Li'er has remembered."

Xue Li nodded heavily, his eyes sparkling with countless little stars, and Xue Ruanruan was finally completely relieved.

As a doctor, she had seen many patients who couldn't think straight because of their mental illness. Her younger brother was still young and shouldn't have to suffer for the sake of the family's situation.

The carriage slowly came to a stop in front of the Zhenguo General's Mansion. The gatekeeper took out a wooden stool and placed it outside the carriage. Xue Ruanruan got off the carriage first, then turned around and carried Xue Li down.

"Ruanruan, you're finally back. Why are you so late? I was so worried about you."

The old lady and her entourage had been waiting at the gate of the mansion for a long time, and immediately came out to greet Xue Ruanruan when they saw her carriage.

"Grandmother, Mother, Eldest Sister-in-law, Second Sister-in-law, you are all here."

Xue Ruanruan felt a warmth in her heart as she saw everyone come out, and greeted them one by one.
