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

Chapter 204 The prince invites you

When the prayer beads broke, news came from the border: Yan'er was missing, Heng'er had fallen off a cliff, and the 100,000 Xue family soldiers were eating grass roots and gnawing on tree bark. One bad news after another.

Today, the major affairs of the manor have been settled, but there has been no news from the frontier yet. Old Madam Xue is getting restless and is hurrying toward the ancestral hall.

When Xue Ruanruan got up, the sun was already high in the sky. This was hardly considered proper conduct for a wealthy family, but the people in the General's Mansion were used to it and never blamed her.

"Miss, you're finally awake."

The master had instructed that no one was allowed to enter her room without her permission, not even to clean it.

Snow dared not disobey, so she had no choice but to stand guard outside the house.

Seeing the door open from the inside, he immediately went to greet them.

"Why are you so flustered?"

Luo Xue wasn't usually in a hurry, so her unusual behavior surprised Xue Ruanruan.

"The Regent... The Regent sent people to wait at the residence early this morning."

"Murong Xun?"

"Miss, you dare not address the Prince by his given name!"

Startled, Luo Xue quickly covered Xue Ruanruan's mouth, her expression panicked and frightened. She looked around to make sure no one else was there before she felt relieved.

"Sorry, I forgot."

A single, light sentence nearly made Luo Xue faint again. "Miss is good in every way, but for some reason, she lacks any respect for the Regent."

He was a powerful minister who controlled the affairs of the state, second only to the emperor, and even the emperor had to listen to him. His status was above that of the emperor.

I've heard that the Regent is a ruthless and vicious killer; anyone who offends him is either beheaded or exiled to the coldest of places, and none of them have a good ending.

It's fine for Miss to say these words within the manor, but if outsiders find out, they might report it to the Regent, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Miss, you must never say such things again, especially outside the manor. You have no idea how many people are watching our manor. If someone finds something to use against us and reports it to the Regent, your life will be in danger."

"I know, you're such a worrywart at such a young age. Don't worry, your master isn't stupid, I know what's good and bad."

"This servant just feels that Miss doesn't seem to fear the Regent as much as others do."

"He's not a man-eating beast, why should we be afraid?"

Xue Ruanruan chuckled. In her past life, she had believed the rumors and thought that Murong Xun was a man-eating beast. She was so scared that she dared not get close to him, which allowed Murong Luo to take advantage of the situation.

After several encounters, I realized how wrong I was. How could such a man, who was upright and dedicated to the people and the country, be a ruthless killer?

"This servant doesn't know either. I've only heard rumors that the Regent is a ruthless killer who treats life like dirt. Anyway, the farther away you are, the better."

"It's just hearsay. You were just anxiously waiting outside the room a moment ago, why are you not in a hurry now?"

A change in mindset cannot be made overnight, and Xue Ruanruan had no intention of explaining further, so she changed the subject.

"You just said the Regent sent people to guard the residence? What did he say that made him so urgent?"

"We just met last night, how come they sent someone again in less than half a day?" Xue Ruanruan asked in confusion.

"No, he only said that he invited Miss to the Regent's Palace to discuss something, and that's all I know."

"okay, I get it."

Could it be about the tea?

But there's no need to be in such a hurry.

She couldn't refuse the Regent's invitation; it must be about the tea business. It seems Murong Xun is quite satisfied with her tea.

The household now has another source of income.

What a pleasant surprise this morning! No wonder even the snowflakes look pleasing to the eye.
