As Xue Ruanruan stepped into the Zhenguo General's Mansion, the steward rushed to greet her, his face full of anxiety. "Miss, you're finally back! The General suddenly fainted, and the doctor couldn't do anything about it." Xue Ruanruan was startled. Without asking any questions, she followed the steward straight to the General's room. Inside, the General lay pale on the bed, his breath weak. Xue Ruanruan quickly went to the bedside, took his pulse, and her brows furrowed. She carefully recalled her medical knowledge and observed the General's complexion and tongue, forming a guess in her mind. She decisively ordered the servants to prepare silver needles and several herbs. Then, she skillfully applied the needles and personally brewed the herbs. After the medicine was brewed, she carefully fed it to the General. Time passed, and the General's complexion gradually regained some color, and his breathing became much more stable. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Xue Ruanruan wiped the sweat from her forehead, secretly glad that her medical skills had come in handy. Next, she needed to carefully tend to the general's health to ensure his full recovery. However, Xue Ruanruan was not satisfied with this. She knew that a long-term effort and sustained attention were needed to completely solve the food problem. Therefore, she decided to establish a specialized organization dedicated to researching and promoting new agricultural technologies. "I'm thinking about how to better distribute this food to ensure everyone gets enough..." Xue Ruanruan frowned, her eyes revealing deep worry. She knew that this food was crucial to the entire village, but improper distribution could lead to chaos and discontent. She considered various solutions, trying to find a fair, reasonable, and feasible way to solve the problem. However, every idea seemed to have its limitations, plunging her into endless distress. Song Jinyang nodded slightly. "We can first count the current population and food reserves, and then distribute them according to the actual situation," Song Jinyang suggested. As one of the important forces of the country, the Regent's Palace shouldered the heavy responsibility of disaster relief and reconstruction. They needed to invest a large amount of funds to purchase food, clothing, medicine, and other supplies to meet the basic needs of the disaster-stricken people. Simultaneously, it is necessary to organize manpower and resources to participate in rescue and relief work, help trapped personnel escape danger, and assist government departments in post-disaster reconstruction. Furthermore, due to the severe impact on the economy of various parts of Chu, many enterprises face the crisis of closure or layoffs, leading to a rise in unemployment. The Regent's Palace also needs to focus on people's livelihood issues, providing employment opportunities and support policies to help people overcome difficulties. Therefore, although the Regent's Palace possesses considerable wealth, it still feels overwhelmed by so many disasters and difficulties. They not only have to cope with their own pressures but also shoulder social responsibility, striving to alleviate the suffering in the disaster area. At this critical moment, the Regent's Palace needs to fully utilize its resource advantages, cooperate closely with the government and other social forces, and work together to cope with this sudden challenge. Only through unity and concerted efforts can we overcome difficulties and rebuild our homes. Murong Xun, dressed in a white robe embroidered with exquisite patterns in silver thread, with his long black hair cascading down his back, had a cold expression and deep, sharp eyes that made people afraid to look directly at him. At this moment, he stood with his hands behind his back by the window, gazing at the falling snowflakes, as if contemplating something important. The snowflakes drifted down, covering the entire world, making everything peaceful and mysterious. After entering the jade pendant space, Xue Ruanruan's gaze was drawn to a field of golden wheat ears. These ears of wheat grew very thickly, each one plump and golden, exuding a rich wheat fragrance. Approaching closer, she found that the grains on the ears of wheat were round and plump, seemingly containing endless vitality. Then, she turned her gaze to the rice paddy beside it. There, heavy ears of rice hung from the branches, like strings of golden pearls. A gentle breeze blew, and the ears of rice swayed gently, making a rustling sound, seemingly showing people the joy of harvest. Xue Ruanruan couldn't help but exclaim, "It's so beautiful!" She reached out and touched the ears of wheat and rice, feeling their softness and resilience. This wheat field and rice paddy made her feel the charm of nature and the power of life. Faced with this vibrant scene, Xue Ruanruan felt her spirits lift. She knew that everything here was a gift from nature and the result of her hard work. Gazing at the beautiful scenery, a sense of anticipation and confidence for the future welled up within her. Xue Ruanruan decided to plant more crops in the space, hoping to help more people. She carefully selected seeds, diligently sowing, watering, and fertilizing. Every day, she would come to the fields to observe the crops' growth, tenderly caring for each plant. As time passed, the crops in the fields gradually grew, and a bountiful harvest was in sight. Seeing that her efforts had paid off, Xue Ruanruan felt a great sense of accomplishment. She imagined delivering this fresh food to the disaster-stricken people, so they would no longer go hungry, and a happy smile would appear on her face.

This sense of mission strengthened her resolve to use her medical skills and compassion to help more people. Thanks to Xue Ruanruan's hard work, the crops in her jade pendant space yielded a bumper harvest. She harvested wheat and rice, filling sacks to the brim. However, transporting this grain became a problem. Xue Ruanruan began to think of solutions, remembering Regent Murong Xun. Perhaps he could help her deliver the grain to the disaster-stricken people. Therefore, Xue Ruanruan decided to seek Murong Xun's help. Murong Xun listened to Xue Ruanruan's plan, a hint of appreciation flashing in his eyes. He immediately arranged for manpower and prepared transportation to send the grain to the disaster area. With Murong Xun's help, the grain, laden with hope, was successfully delivered to the disaster-stricken people. The people were deeply grateful, praising Xue Ruanruan and Murong Xun's good deeds. Xue Ruanruan, in the process, also experienced the joy and satisfaction of helping others. The space once again yielded a bountiful harvest, laden with fruit and filled with fragrance. Standing before this vibrant scene, Xue Ruanruan was filled with joy and satisfaction. Seeing the fruits of her hard work filled her with immense pride. These abundant harvests not only gave her a sense of reward for her efforts, but more importantly, they provided her with a deep sense of security and confidence. As time passed, Xue Ruanruan became increasingly adept at managing the space, able to better utilize this magical place to cultivate various crops. Each harvest felt like an affirmation of her abilities, filling her with anticipation for the future. She knew that with continued effort, the space would bring her even more surprises and achievements. This confidence stemmed not only from material gains but also from a spiritual anchor. In this world, she possessed her own secret garden, a haven no matter how the outside world changed. Here, she could freely unleash her creativity and enjoy the beautiful moments of being close to nature. The space presented a prosperous scene of impending harvest. Golden ears of wheat drooped heavily in the fields, as if displaying their impending ripening joy. The orchard's branches were laden with ripe fruit—red apples, yellow pears, and purple grapes—a dazzling array that emitted an enticing aroma. The vegetables in the garden grew robustly and lushly, their verdant leaves gleaming with vitality in the sunlight. Inside the Prime Minister's residence, the young lady's personal maids whispered amongst themselves, their faces beaming with excitement and curiosity. The young lady herself sat silently in her room, a book in her hand, but her mind was elsewhere. Her thoughts were already on the Regent, recalling their chance encounter, her heart filled with sweetness and anticipation. Outside the Regent's residence, people stopped to watch, gossiping about the rumor. Some saw it as a perfect match, while others worried that the power struggles would affect their relationship. However, the Regent himself remained silent, his thoughts unfathomable. In this turbulent capital, the story of the Prime Minister's daughter and the Regent became the talk of the town. As for the future of this relationship, only time will tell. The maid, upon learning that her mistress was going to secretly meet the Regent, couldn't help but worry. She watched her mistress, meticulously dressed and blushing, prepare to leave, and felt a pang of anxiety. The mistress wore a light, flowing dress, the hem billowing in the wind, like a fairy dancing gracefully. Her face was beautiful and captivating, yet at this moment it revealed a resolute and determined air. The maid understood that her mistress's heart was already filled with deep affection for the Regent. The maid followed closely behind her mistress, her steps light and careful, as if afraid of disturbing this secret rendezvous. Her gaze frequently fell on her mistress, her eyes filled with concern and worry. She knew this secret meeting might bring many risks and uncertainties, but she couldn't stop her mistress's determination to pursue love. In the quiet night, the maid and her mistress walked together through the bustling streets towards the Regent's residence. Every step was filled with tension and anticipation; the maid silently prayed for her mistress's safety and hoped that her love would be beautifully reciprocated. Finally, they arrived at the Regent's residence. The young lady gently knocked on the door, awaiting a response. The maid's heart pounded; she stood to the side, quietly observing her surroundings, preparing for any eventuality. The door slowly opened, and the Regent appeared before them. He was handsome and imposing, with an extraordinary air about him. Joy and shyness flickered in the young lady's eyes, while the maid secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She hoped that the Regent would cherish her young lady's sincerity and that this love story would have a happy ending. "Miss, you won't secretly go to see the Regent, will you? Please, please don't do that! If Master finds out, he will surely punish me severely. Besides, the Regent and our Prime Minister's residence have always been at odds; why would you do this?" The maid was so frightened she was almost crying. She couldn't believe that her seemingly well-mannered young lady would do something so reckless. If something happened and Master found out, she would surely lose her life. And what kind of person was the Regent? How could she possibly covet him? Since they don't even give the master face, how could they possibly be interested in her? She's really being delusional. The maid felt wronged but dared not speak out, forced to swallow her anger. The master never punished his mistress for her mistakes, only taking it out on them, the maids. "My affairs are none of your business!" Lin Wanru abruptly shook off the maid's hand. "If you dare to obstruct me again, I'll break your legs!"
