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

Chapter 202 Personally escorted back home

In the enclosed space, in the quiet night, the air seemed to freeze, making it hard to breathe.

This was the first time since my rebirth that I had been so close to him, so close that I could even smell the sandalwood-like scent emanating from him.

Just like the intoxicating scent of a man I smelled in his arms in my past life.

Xue Ruanruan lowered her eyes to look at the hand warmer in her hand. The exquisite and small hand warmer was actually made of pure gold with a hollowed-out carving design, which looked quite noble. The warmth from the surface of the hand warmer spread almost all over her body through her palm.

This man still knows how to enjoy life, just like he did in his previous life.

The carriage moved slowly through the dark, snowy night, finally coming to a stop in front of the Zhenguo General's Mansion at the hour of Chou (1-3 AM).

The guards immediately recognized the carriage as belonging to the Regent and, without the slightest negligence, rushed to greet it.

Xue Ruanruan, dressed in a red cloak, stepped down from the Regent's carriage, causing the guard to be slightly stunned before quickly recognizing her as "Young Miss."

"Um"

Xue Ruanruan stepped down from the horse stool, thinking of Murong Xun who was still in the carriage, and said, "Thank you for seeing me off, Your Highness."

"No problem"

A man's voice came from inside the carriage; his deep, magnetic voice sounded especially cold and clear in the night.

The guards of the Zhenguo General's Mansion were shocked to hear that it was the Regent's voice. Their young lady had actually been sent back by the Regent himself.

It's so late at night, and the young lady is riding in the same carriage with the regent. If word got out, who would believe it?

Rumors circulate that the Regent is capricious and ruthless, so how could such a man personally escort the young lady back to her residence? Had he misheard?

"Your Highness, please wait a moment. I will go and fetch the tea leaves."

"Thank you for your trouble"

The man's cool voice carried a subtle languor, and Xue Ruanruan could already picture the person in the carriage leaning back on the soft blankets, enjoying themselves.

Xue Ruanruan headed straight for the backyard, her steps light, leaving a trail of shallow footprints in the thick snow.

She prepared a pound of each type of tea produced in her space, packed them in jade-white porcelain jars, and walked briskly toward the gate of the mansion.

Murong Xun, who was resting with his eyes closed in the carriage, keenly smelled a delicate fragrance that grew stronger and stronger as it approached, invigorating him.

He suddenly opened his eyes, sat up from the soft-sleeper, and was about to speak when he heard a clear and melodious voice outside the carriage, "Your Highness, the tea has been brought."

"Send it in."

Only after receiving Murong Xun's permission did Xue Ruanruan dare to open the carriage curtain and bring several tea canisters into the carriage.

"Your Highness, these teas are different. There are teas suitable for men and flower teas suitable for women. Please try them first."

"The king knows."

Murong Xun was slightly taken aback, then understood her intention.

Is he planning to start a tea business with me?

Miss Xue's cleverness was truly beyond the reach of the noble ladies of the capital; even she herself had never thought of going into the tea business.

The coachman cracked his whip, let out a roar, turned, and disappeared into the night.

It was already past midnight. Madam Xue was originally waiting in the main hall, but due to her advanced age, she couldn't stay awake any longer and went back to her room to rest.

Only Princess Lingjun paced back and forth in the room, her face full of anxiety.

"Princess, Miss is so capable and not someone who doesn't know her place. She will definitely return to the manor safely. You don't need to worry."

Seeing the princess's worried expression, Qingyan quickly comforted her.

“Ruan Ruan would never come home this late before. With such heavy snow outside, something must have happened to prevent her from returning. No, I must go find her myself.”
