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

Chapter 237 The Sky Clears

However, the Left Chancellor was very powerful and did not allow civil officials and military generals to move around, which meant that only a few upright old ministers could stand up to him. The others either remained neutral or actively sought to join the Left Chancellor's faction, leaving the dignified General of the State isolated and helpless in the court.

He had long intended to befriend the General's Mansion, but unfortunately had no opportunity. Now that the General's Mansion had taken the initiative to send them an invitation, he would take this opportunity to make some contact.

"Won't this affect your career?"

Yan Ning hesitated. Her husband was a civil official, and the court was increasingly favoring civil officials over military ones.

The Left Chancellor, as the head of all officials, was at odds with the General Who Protects the Nation.

If they were to be on good terms with the General's Mansion, it might affect her husband's career.

Do you know who controls the affairs of the court now?

Gu Qingfeng's eyes flickered, and he asked in return.

“Your Majesty, although I do not participate in court affairs, I have heard of your reputation.”

"Then do you know the Regent's preferences?"

"I don't know about that. I only know that the Regent is eccentric and unpredictable. He has already confiscated the homes of many officials. I just don't know who will be next."

Yan Ning had never met the Regent, and his knowledge of him was limited to rumors. He only knew that the Regent held absolute power and that even the Emperor dared not do anything to him.

"Rumors are not to be believed; he particularly values ​​General Xue."

Gu Qingfeng had his own plans and his association with the Zhenguo General's Mansion was not a spur-of-the-moment decision.

"If that's the case, we'll have to attend the welcome banquet the day after tomorrow in person."

"Of course, the lady will carefully select one or two gifts, neither too expensive nor too casual, lest people mistakenly think that she is being disrespectful."

"My husband is right. I will personally go to the storeroom to select some items. I will certainly not disgrace our Minister's Mansion."

Yan Ning dared not be careless and decided to personally go to the warehouse to select gifts the next day.

Madam Xue was unaware that by simply inviting her grandson's classmate to visit the mansion, she had actually gained two capable allies for the General's Mansion.

After finishing her work, Xue Ruanruan returned to Yunyao Courtyard, locked the door, and went directly into her spatial dimension.

Now that we've decided to do business with seafood, we can no longer be as casual as before.

After the welcoming banquet, he planned to personally cook some seafood dishes and send them to Murong Xun.

Only if he is satisfied with his meal can the business deal be discussed further.

On the day of the New Year's banquet, the snow that had been falling for several days suddenly stopped.

As if the heavens had known all along that the General's Mansion was going to hold a welcoming banquet for their only daughter, the sky cleared up for the first time ever.

Under the bright sunshine, a rainbow descended from the sky, perfectly enveloping the Zhenguo General's Mansion. Even the clouds on the horizon were tinged with red, as if to celebrate this special occasion.

"Madam, look, the sky has cleared up!"

Granny Fang helped the meticulously groomed and dressed Madam Xue out of the backyard. Looking at the bright sun and rainbow in the sky, she couldn't help but marvel.

"Yes, God must have known that my precious baby has been found, and sent this congratulations specially."

Madam Xue was a believer in gods and Buddhas, and she had never seen such a clear sky since the beginning of winter.

The gloom of the past has been swept away, and even my mood has become cheerful.

For some reason, I suddenly remembered that sixteen years ago, when the family held a 100-day celebration for their granddaughter, the sky was also filled with colorful clouds, as if the gods in the heavens were celebrating a festival.

Could her beloved granddaughter really be a fairy reincarnated from heaven?

The more I thought about it, the more likely it seemed. If she wasn't a fairy, how could she have received such divine favor?
