Xue Ruanruan looked at the abundant harvest in her spatial dimension, her heart filled with joy. She thought that if these crops were taken out, they would surely cause quite a stir in the manor. Just then, a commotion suddenly arose outside. Xue Ruanruan hurriedly came out of her spatial dimension, and as soon as she stepped outside, her maid Xiaocui came running in a panic. "Miss, it's terrible! The Second Madam has brought people to our courtyard to cause trouble! She says you've been hiding rare treasures and wants to search our rooms." Xue Ruanruan frowned, a cold smile playing on her lips. The Second Madam was up to her old tricks again. She calmly straightened her clothes and went to meet her with Xiaocui. The Second Madam stood arrogantly in the center of the courtyard, followed by a group of servants. "Oh, Miss Xue, today I'll have to thoroughly search your rooms and see what shameful things you've been hiding," the Second Madam said in a shrill voice. Xue Ruanruan's lips curled up into a confident smile. "Second Madam, feel free to search. If you don't find anything, don't blame me for being impolite." With that, she stepped aside, secretly plotting to make sure the Second Madam would suffer the consequences if she found nothing.

With border supplies critically low, the Second Madam felt a chill run down her spine seeing Xue Ruanruan's composure, but she still steeled herself and ordered her servants to search the house. In no time, the house was a complete mess. However, after searching for a long time, they found no trace of the so-called rare treasures. The Second Madam's face flushed red, and she was about to find an excuse to cause trouble again when a servant rushed in, panting, saying, "Madam, something terrible has happened! Border supplies are critically low, and Master is summoning everyone in the household to discuss countermeasures." Upon hearing this, the Second Madam, no longer concerned with making things difficult for Xue Ruanruan, hurriedly left with her servants. Xue Ruanruan watched the Second Madam's disheveled figure, a mocking smile playing on her lips. She knew this might be an opportunity. After a moment's thought, she decided to take some grain from her spatial storage and send it to the border in the name of the Xue family. This would both alleviate the immediate crisis at the border and earn the Xue family a good reputation in the court. Therefore, she summoned her trusted confidant, gave him instructions, and then waited to see how things would unfold.

She decided to personally escort the grain supplies to the border. Xue Ruanruan led a large group of people, transporting the grain supplies towards the border. She dared not slacken her pace, traveling day and night. However, when the group reached a mountain forest, they were suddenly encountered by a band of bandits. The bandits, armed with sharp weapons, surrounded them. The bandit leader laughed and said, "You lot, leave the grain supplies, and we'll spare your lives." Xue Ruanruan's heart tightened, but she quickly regained her composure. She shouted, "This is grain supplies destined for the border, concerning the safety of the nation. If you rob it, you are traitors!" The bandits looked at each other in dismay. Just then, one of the bandits suddenly shouted, "Who cares about the border? With this grain, we'll have no worries about food and drink!" He then prepared to attack. Xue Ruanruan's eyes sharpened; she secretly signaled to her confidants to prepare a counterattack. Just as the tension was about to escalate, the sound of horses' hooves came from afar. It turned out that reinforcements from the imperial court had arrived. Seeing the situation was dire, the bandits scattered and fled. Xue Ruanruan breathed a sigh of relief and continued leading her troops towards the border. Finally, they successfully delivered the supplies to the border, and the soldiers cheered with joy, deeply grateful to the Xue family. Xue Ruanruan's act of kindness also caused a great uproar in the imperial court.
