Shen Xingmian had never heard of this. After all, many poisons have disappeared in modern times, let alone a product of a fictional dynasty.

Seeing her confusion, Luo Qi'an explained with a cold and stern expression:

"As the name suggests, this poison will make a person fall into a deep sleep like a wooden statue, but their consciousness will remain clear, and they will feel excruciating pain at all times, until the person is slowly exhausted and their life is over."

It will take three months for him to die completely…

"This is too vicious!" Shen Xingmian exclaimed angrily.

The thought of her grandfather suffering such a terrible fate filled her with such hatred that she wanted to rush into the palace and kill the emperor.

"Don't be impulsive. Tomorrow the whole family will be exiled to the northern frontier. We need to be prepared. As for this grudge... let's talk about it later."

General Shen's voice was weak and feeble. He must have felt extremely distressed to be suppressed in this way by the new monarch of the country he had always been loyal to.

Luo Qi'an also understood this principle. If it were someone else who poisoned him, the General's Mansion could still put up some resistance. But that person was the Emperor, the supreme being of this country.

Even if they hate them, what can they do?

Unable to bear their despair, Shen Xingmian immediately spoke up to divert their attention: "Father and Grandfather, don't you want to know how Mian'er recovered?"

Her eyes were bright and sparkling, with a touch of girlish charm and childlike innocence, which made people feel much lighter.

General Shen took her hand, his attention completely diverted: "Yes, how did my little girl suddenly get better? Heaven has blessed us, and I've finally lived to see this day."

His eyes were brimming with tears, which then streamed down his face.

The old man who hadn't shed a single tear when the emperor poisoned him and his whole family was about to be exiled was now weeping uncontrollably as he looked at her.

Shen Xingmian felt a pang of sorrow in her heart, and tears welled up in her eyes. She hugged her grandfather tightly, choking back sobs as she said:

"The reason why Mian'er has been acting foolishly is because her soul has been in another world, and it has finally returned today."

"Thankfully, Mian'er returned in time, otherwise Grandpa... sob sob sob."

Her mind seemed to have shrunk along with her body, or perhaps the emotional impact she received in a short period of time was too great, and she couldn't control herself.

Even though she wasn't afraid to face an octopus monster alone during the apocalypse, she's now acting like a little girl, wanting to run into her loved ones' arms and have a good cry.

Perhaps it's because she has never experienced being so missed and valued by her family before.

Seeing his beloved daughter crying like this, Luo Qi'an couldn't help but go over and gently pat her head.

There was no way to hug her; her grandfather had already lovingly held her in his arms.

After calming down for a while, General Shen patted her back and comforted her, saying, "Mian'er has worked hard all these years. Now that you're home, we'll support you in everything. You just need to be a good child."

At this point, he sighed sadly, "Alas, we just didn't come at the right time. Our family... is about to be exiled."

Shen Xingmian peeked out from her grandfather's arms and said in a light tone, "Grandpa, I have many wonderful adventures in another world. Even if I am exiled, I will not let everyone suffer. You and Father can rest assured and leave it to me."

Seeing that the two clearly did not believe her, Shen Xingmian reached out her hand understandingly, and a large gold bracelet appeared out of thin air in her palm.

The first to realize this was the beautiful father. He had been so overwhelmed with joy that he only now belatedly realized that the water his daughter had fed him was no ordinary water.

And it should have been transformed in this way.

Wow, my daughter!

The facts are undeniable, leaving no room for doubt.

Shen Xingmian conjured up two more cups of supernatural water and handed them to the two men: "Drink some more. This water has many benefits, especially for Grandpa. Although the poison has been cleared, his injuries are still there. Drinking more will help him recover."

The two adults were incredibly obedient; they took the cups and promptly drank them down in one gulp.

Shen Xingmian is very satisfied with the new family that God has given her as compensation. They are calm, composed, and intelligent, and will be excellent companions.

Moreover, my maternal grandfather had led troops in battle for many years, was well-versed in military strategy, and had a wide network of connections. Once his health improved, he would become a fierce general again.

In her memory, her father was well-read and knowledgeable. Although he did not enter officialdom, he was still a rare talent.

As for her mother, whom she hadn't met yet, she was truly a heroine among women.

The reason my father agreed to marry into the family was because he was kidnapped by bandits and almost lost his chastity when my mother rescued him. He fell in love with her at first sight and, relying on his good looks, successfully won her heart.

After the two got married, the father stayed at home, not only not restricting the mother at all, but also fully supporting her in doing what she wanted to do.

This imbalance in marital dynamics, where the woman was more dominant than the man, once became a laughing stock in the capital.

But Shen Xingmian, a modern person, admired her father's behavior immensely. What kind of wisdom must it take for her father to respect his wife so much, even thousands of years ago?

admire.

Such a harmonious family atmosphere is rare even in modern times, yet she was fortunate enough to encounter it in ancient times; she was truly lucky.

"Mian'er, when your mother comes back, this water..."

The unspoken words from her father, coupled with his expression, were all too clear. Shen Xingmian immediately nodded and said:

"Of course Mother gets a share, but it's just for the four of us to know. As for the others, I'll mix some into regular water to help improve their health, but the secret must never be known to outsiders."

The two adults nodded solemnly. If they were to possess a priceless treasure and be discovered when they were not strong enough, it would be a catastrophe.

"By the way, this treasure of mine is like a storage space. It can hold a lot of things. In a little while, let's put all the treasures in the house into it. Also, give me maps of a few of my enemies, and I'll go and loot them. I'd better not even leave the palace untouched."

"This won't do, it's too dangerous! Those families all have many guards, hired at great expense, and they're very skilled. You're just a child, wouldn't you be doomed if you went there?"

As he spoke, Grandpa coughed a few times in his haste, and Shen Xingmian patted him for a while before he gradually calmed down.

"Grandpa, don't worry. Since I dare to go, I naturally have a way to deal with it." After saying that, Shen Xingmian got up and disappeared on the spot.

General Shen was so anxious that he got out of bed barefoot and started searching all over the floor.

Luo Qi'an grabbed his father and calmly comforted him, "Father, don't worry. Mian'er must have gone to the storage place. She'll be out soon."

As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Xingmian reappeared in the same spot, looking at the two of them with a smile: "Now you can rest assured about my personal safety, right?"

The two well-informed ancient people were dumbfounded.
