Chapter 419 (150 words added)
As soon as Xue Ruanruan stepped into the space, the fresh air rushed towards her, and the lush greenery instantly relaxed her tense nerves. She took a deep breath and walked deeper into the space.
Not far away, the spring shimmered with a soft light, its water tinkling as if whispering secrets. Xue Ruanruan quickly walked to the spring, squatted down, and gently touched the cool water. The moment her fingertips touched it, a warm current flowed up her arm and spread throughout her body, instantly dispelling her fatigue.
Suddenly, a snow-white rabbit hopped out of the grass. Its eyes were as bright as rubies. It skipped over to Xue Ruanruan and nuzzled her hand with its head. Xue Ruanruan couldn't help but laugh, gently picking up the rabbit and stroking its soft fur.
Just then, a voice rang in Xue Ruanruan's mind: "This little rabbit is the guardian beast of this space. It will accompany you and help you be invincible on the road of palace intrigue." Xue Ruanruan was overjoyed and hugged the little rabbit tightly. With this space and guardian beast, she was sure she could make a name for herself in this complicated mansion.
As Murong Xun alighted from his carriage and stepped into the mansion, the steward rushed forward, his face filled with anxiety. "Young Master," he said, "Miss Xue has suddenly fainted." Murong Xun was startled. Without time to ask further questions, he hurried towards Xue Ruanruan's quarters. Upon reaching the room, he saw Xue Ruanruan lying pale on the bed. His heart clenched, and he rushed to her bedside, taking her hand in his; it was ice-cold. At that moment, the physician emerged from the inner room, bowing and saying, "Young Master, rest assured, Miss Xue is fine. It's likely due to overwork recently; she just needs proper rest." Murong Xun breathed a slight sigh of relief. He sat by the bedside, quietly watching over Xue Ruanruan, his eyes filled with worry. Even in her unconscious state, Xue Ruanruan vaguely sensed Murong Xun's presence. The little rabbit hopped around anxiously in the space. Suddenly, a soft light emanated from its body, merging into Xue Ruanruan's body, and her complexion gradually regained color. After a while, she slowly opened her eyes, saw Murong Xun standing guard beside her, and gave a weak smile.
He had come to buy grain. Seeing her awake, Murong Xun's heart finally settled. He asked softly, "How are you feeling? Is there anything else that's bothering you?" Xue Ruanruan shook her head, her voice weak, "Thank you for your concern, young master. I'm much better now." Murong Xun looked at her, his eyes filled with heartache, "Don't worry too much, just rest and recover." Xue Ruanruan felt a warmth in her heart. Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly remembered his coming to buy grain and hurriedly said, "Young master, about buying grain..." Murong Xun interrupted her, "Don't worry about that now, your health is the most important thing." Just then, a commotion suddenly arose in the mansion. The steward rushed in, his face anxious, "Young master, a group of people have arrived outside, saying they're here to collect debts and are trying to move things from the mansion." Murong Xun frowned, stood up, and said, "I'll go see." Xue Ruanruan's heart stirred. She hugged her little rabbit tightly, channeled her spatial power, thinking she might be able to help, and forced herself to follow him out.
Since the beginning of winter, snow disasters have struck various places. In the front yard, a group of fierce-looking people were shouting and making a scene, the yard a mess. The leader was a skinny man with a pointed face and monkey-like features. He stood with his hands on his hips and arrogantly shouted, "If you can't produce the silver today, we'll take everything valuable from this mansion!" Murong Xun's face was grim. He stepped forward and coldly said, "I will handle the debt myself. What kind of behavior is this?" The skinny man sneered, "Enough nonsense! If you don't pay today, don't expect peace!" Xue Ruanruan observed from the side. Suddenly, she felt a power coming from the little rabbit in her arms, and an idea popped into her mind. She secretly used her spatial power, causing the surrounding air to ripple slightly. In the blink of an eye, many sacks of grain appeared in the yard. Everyone was stunned. Xue Ruanruan spoke up, "Consider this grain as payment for the debt; it'll solve our immediate problem." The skinny man's eyes lit up at the sight of so much grain, and he quickly said, "Alright, for the sake of this grain, I'll let you off this time!" With that, he and his men hurriedly carried the grain away. Murong Xun looked at Xue Ruanruan, his eyes filled with surprise and gratitude: "You...how did you do that?" Xue Ruanruan smiled mysteriously, hugging the little rabbit tightly, and said nothing more. After this incident, the mansion temporarily returned to peace, and Xue Ruanruan understood that the path of palace intrigue was far from over.
