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

Chapter 116 Going down the river to catch fish

"Why are you back so late, girl? Didn't we agree to have lunch at the manor?"

The old lady was truly worried. If her long-awaited granddaughter were to be lost again, how could she face the ancestors of the Xue family?

"Something came up unexpectedly, and I'm sorry to have worried you, Grandmother."

"It's good that you're back. Next time, I'll go out with you myself so I won't have to worry."

Seeing her granddaughter's covetous look, the old lady couldn't bear it and began to change the subject.

"Grandmother is joking. How could I bear to see you travel with me and suffer the hardships of travel? I would be heartbroken if you got sick."

"Haha, you're such a sweet girl. Your words make me feel sweeter than honey."

The whole family gathered around Xue Ruanruan, chatting and laughing. Xue Li didn't feel jealous at all; on the contrary, he was even happier. He also really liked his older sister.

Regent's House

Murong Xun hurriedly returned to his residence with an icy expression. His magnificent black brocade robe was covered in snow, and his ink-black hair was almost dyed white, but this did not diminish his powerful aura.

The guards were so frightened that they all backed away, secretly wondering which unlucky fellow was about to suffer another misfortune.

Yueyin dared not approach, and looked with suspicion at Yan Xiao, who was following closely behind Murong Xun back to the mansion.

Yan Xiao reached out and gestured across her neck, not daring to pause for a moment, and headed straight for the study.

The Left Prime Minister is in deep trouble. His master is clearly going to make an example of him to warn others. If other powerful families don't act quickly enough, they may also face the same fate.

"master"

"Which court officials has the Left Chancellor been close to in recent years?"

Murong Xun stood with his hands clasped behind his back, remained silent for a moment, and then suddenly asked.

He already knew the answer in his heart, but he just didn't want to believe it.

The Murong family's empire was secretly manipulated by an outsider, which aroused resentment even for those who had no ambition for the throne.

My royal brother is unworthy of the thousands of people of Chu and Qin.

"My lord, from what I understand, only a very few key ministers in the court insist on not colluding with the Left Chancellor. At least 90% of the others have been bought off by the Left Chancellor, either openly or secretly."

Yan Xiao's greatest skill was intelligence gathering, and he had long been fully aware of the Left Prime Minister's actions. It was just that his master had been too busy preparing funds to deal with natural disasters in the past to have time to deal with him.

"So many ministers have become spoils of the Left Chancellor's power struggle."

"Go and investigate which officials in the court the Left Prime Minister has been close to in recent years, and also find all the spies he has planted in secret. Be careful not to alert them."

Murong Xun's eyes were filled with murderous intent. He had not expected that the Left Prime Minister had become so arrogant and overbearing.

The General Who Protects the Nation has gone missing while defending against the enemy. How grief-stricken he must be if he knew that his wife and children were being humiliated by his colleagues.

He always respected Xue Yan, and as long as he was in the court, he would not allow anyone to touch the Xue family in the slightest.

"Yes, Master!"

Yan Xiao's eyes lit up. As expected, the first thing his master did upon returning to the manor was to thoroughly investigate the Left Prime Minister. It seemed that the capital was about to undergo a major change.

Perhaps the master didn't realize it, but whenever the divine physician girl was wronged, he would become restless.

Murong Xun sat at the table, looking at the snow falling outside the window, his expression calm. For some reason, the image of Miss Xue's voice and smile floated into his mind.

This was unprecedented. Thinking he was sick, he stood up and walked into the snow.

The hot spring in the courtyard was steaming, which had a special charm in the snow. He jumped into the spring, trying to sort out his messy thoughts.
