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

Chapter 232 Unusual

Princess Qiling glanced at the lush green vegetables and fresh, sweet fruits on the table, a dark glint flashing in her eyes.

As far as she knew, life had not been easy for the General of the State's mansion in recent years, because the Emperor refused to allocate grain and fodder to General Xue Yan, who was defending the frontier.

This forced the Zhenguo General's Mansion and the Xue clan to spend their own money to buy grain and send it to the frontier.

No matter how strong the foundation, it cannot withstand such turmoil, especially since the old Duke of Zhenguo has been supporting the Xue family army of 100,000.

As a result, the women in the household only dared to buy new clothes every two years, and they saved as much as possible on other expenses.

The noble ladies in the capital often made fun of the old lady and Princess Lingjun, complaining that they were dressed shabbily.

She deeply admired the two women; one was a first-rank imperial consort, and the other was a princess of a nation. It was truly remarkable that they could set aside their pride and do such a thing.

If she were in that situation, she would probably do everything she could to help.

Princess Qiling glanced at the tall, upright man beside her, a hint of sadness flashing in her eyes.

He let out a soft sigh.

If she had a choice, she would rather be born into a commoner's family and live a peaceful and harmonious life with her husband than be born into an imperial family.

Since the beginning of winter this year, there have been continuous snowstorms and disasters, and grain prices have soared. Logically speaking, life in the General's Mansion should have been even more difficult.

This doesn't seem like someone who spends so much money.

Putting everything else aside, the fruit right in front of us is quite valuable, but the problem is that it's simply unavailable at this time of year.

She found the General's Mansion increasingly unfathomable.

"Alright, stop arguing. Tell me what delicious food we ate at the General Zhenguo's mansion today. Your mother is even more curious."

"Mother, I made the right choice going to the General's Mansion this time. Miss Xue prepared a whole table of dishes, all of which I have never seen or heard of before. Not only did they look exquisite and delicate, but they also tasted absolutely amazing."

When the topic of the dishes she ate at the General's Mansion came up, Princess Qingyue couldn't help but rave about them, showering them with praise.

Even Xu Ye couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, showing interest.

"So, you're saying all these dishes were made by Miss Xue?"

"Indeed, Miss Xue is amazing. She cooked a whole table of dishes by herself, and she looks like a fairy from the heavens. I have never seen such a beautiful girl."

What do you think of Miss Xue?

Princess Qiling discreetly inquired about the other party's situation from her daughter.

She had a vague feeling that the Xue family's newly found daughter was no ordinary person, and that the reason for the changes in the Zhenguo General's Mansion was probably due to this 'Miss Xue'.

With grain prices soaring this year, the General's Mansion probably can't afford such valuable fruits and vegetables. Even if they could, they wouldn't be able to buy them in the capital.

"She is a very good person, with a good temperament. Her manners and behavior are in no way inferior to those of the young ladies from noble families in the capital who have learned etiquette since childhood, and of course, they are no less than my daughter's."

"Second sister is being unmodest again. Sister Xue is not just not worse than you, she's much better than you, okay?"

"I think you're asking for trouble again."

Princess Qingyue blushed, then became furious and twisted Xu Zijun's ear hard, making him howl in pain.

Princess Qiling was heartbroken. "Qingyue, don't be angry with your brother. Let go quickly, or you'll twist his ear off."

"Mother, please spoil him."

Princess Qingyue snorted indignantly, turned her head away from them, and pulled Xu Ye aside to start praising Miss Xue again.
