Within the jade pendant space, Xue Ruanruan discovered many precious herbs and exotic plants. Some of these plants emitted a rich medicinal fragrance, seemingly possessing special effects. She carefully picked some herbs, intending to take them back to study their uses. Furthermore, the jade pendant space also contained a study, filled with numerous books and ancient texts. Xue Ruanruan perused these books, learning much about cultivation, formations, and elixirs. She immersed herself in them, constantly absorbing the nourishment of wisdom. Finally, Xue Ruanruan arrived at a farmland, seeing various vegetables and crops thriving. The soil was fertile, the air fresh, and everything appeared vibrant with life. She was deeply moved, realizing that the jade pendant space was not only a place for cultivation but also a self-sufficient little world. Xue Ruanruan spent a wonderful time in the jade pendant space, filled with love and gratitude for it. Upon leaving, she carried with her abundant gains and expectations for the future, determined to make good use of the jade pendant space to enhance her strength. However, when she stepped out of the jade pendant space and returned to the real world, she discovered that her family was facing a tremendous crisis. The Jiangnan embezzlement case was a shocking affair, involving countless officials embezzling and engaging in corruption. Xue Ruanruan's family, implicated in the case, was considered accomplices and faced suppression and investigation from the imperial court. Desperate, Xue Ruanruan knew she had to find evidence to prove her family's innocence. She began using the power of her jade pendant's spatial dimension to search for clues. She discovered many precious books and documents she had never seen before. She carefully studied these books, searching for information related to the Jiangnan embezzlement case. Within the jade pendant's space, Xue Ruanruan also discovered a mysterious room filled with ancient artifacts and rare treasures. Curiously observing these items, she noticed strange symbols inscribed on one artifact. Suspecting these symbols might be related to the Jiangnan embezzlement case, she decided to take the artifact out and seek expert interpretation. After much effort, Xue Ruanruan finally found a scholar proficient in ancient writing. The scholar carefully studied the symbols on the artifact and discovered it was an ancient code. By deciphering the code, Xue Ruanruan obtained crucial clues pointing to a secret organization hidden in Jiangnan. Xue Ruanruan decided to investigate this secret organization thoroughly. Using the power of her jade pendant's space, she traveled through time and space to Jiangnan. In Jiangnan, she discovered a secret stronghold hidden in the city. She cautiously infiltrated the stronghold, searching for evidence. Inside, she found some important documents and ledgers, key evidence to prove her family's innocence. Xue Ruanruan returned to the capital with the evidence and handed it over to the court. After investigation, the court finally cleared Xue Ruanruan's family of suspicion, restoring their innocence. Xue Ruanruan's family received rewards from the court, and their status was elevated. Through this incident, Xue Ruanruan realized that the power of her jade pendant's space was not only to enhance her own strength but could also help her solve problems in the real world. She resolved to continue exploring the jade pendant's space, seeking more power to protect herself and her family. Meanwhile, in the case of the Left Prime Minister's embezzlement in Jiangnan, Murong Xun investigated, resorting to desperate measures, even showing his influence in the academy. Xue Ruanruan was heartbroken; no one in the court seemed to stand up for the people. Back in Medicine King Valley, she had honed her lightness skill to perfection. Xue Ruanruan gathered her breath, used her lightness skill, and in a few leaps, she vaulted over the wall and landed steadily on the ground. "Miss!" Jiang Wu's voice came, tinged with anxiety. "I'm fine." Xue Ruanruan smiled at her. "Awu, go quickly and see how Second Sister-in-law is." Jiang Wu responded and hurriedly ran towards the carriage. Xue Ruanruan glanced back at Murong Xun, who was standing not far away, holding Xue Li, his expression cold and stern. "Thank you for today, Your Highness." Xue Ruanruan thanked him again. Murong Xun nodded slightly. "No need to be polite." He looked down at the little one in his arms and saw Xue Li blinking at him, his eyes full of curiosity. Murong Xun's heart stirred, and he couldn't help but reach out and touch his hair. "Li'er, come home with your sister." Xue Ruanruan said softly. Xue Li nodded, broke free from Murong Xun's arms, ran to Xue Ruanruan's side, and took her hand. "Goodbye, Your Highness." Xue Ruanruan, holding Xue Li's hand, walked towards the carriage. Murong Xun watched their backs recede into the night. News had spread that the Regent had saved the General's young master and was having an affair with Miss Xue; it was clearly a deliberate act. Seeing this, Xue Ruanruan couldn't say anything more, only thanked him before boarding the carriage. They traveled in silence, soon arriving at the General's mansion. Murong Xun handed Xue Li to Xue Ruanruan and then drove away. Xue Ruanruan watched his departing figure, a sense of melancholy washing over her. The three quickly returned to the General's mansion. Murong Xun handed Xue Li to the waiting steward, then turned to Xue Ruanruan. "Thank you for today's events." His tone remained cold, but a barely perceptible tenderness flickered in his eyes. With Murong Xun's help, Xue Ruanruan found those who had bullied Xue Li. She faced them fearlessly, securing a proper apology and compensation for her brother. From then on, those people never dared to bully Xue Li again. This incident brought Xue Ruanruan and Murong Xun even closer. Murong Xun also realized that although he was of noble status, he should also care about those around him. He began to pay more attention to Xue Ruanruan and Xue Li, becoming their good friend.
