Fang Ruotang was startled and immediately fed the person a Soul-Returning Pill. After the person regained their strength, she then fed them a Rejuvenating Pill.
"I just learned about her from Xiao Jingzi. She's a really pitiful woman. Her original name wasn't Manman. She changed it after she turned eighteen. Her real name is Yaomei."
“Growing up in a family that favored boys over girls, she knew from a young age that only studying could change her fate. Fortunately, she was hardworking and had a talent for learning. She entered a top university with scholarships and followed her seniors to run projects. After working hard for almost ten years, she was finally able to buy a house and settle down in a big city. Just when she could finally stop and catch her breath, her bloodsucking family found her. Her younger brother had tampered with the brake pads on her car.”
"After her life improved, she also sponsored two girls who, like her, came from impoverished backgrounds but were hardworking and academically gifted. She really worked hard to make a living, and she almost succeeded, but unfortunately..."
"She became the matriarch of the Xingqing Marquis's mansion. Over the past six months, she has diligently raised her unrelated and unambitious children and grandchildren. The Xingqing Marquis's mansion has reversed its decline and is inseparable from her efforts."
"She was... a really good person. I don't think she deserved to end up like this."
Fang Ruotang mumbled incoherently, speaking incoherently.
The prince listened quietly until the end, then looked at her encouragingly and said, "If you want to save them, then save them. Trust your own judgment; your choices are never wrong."
Fang Ruotang swept away the depression in her heart and raised her chin.
“The medicine is mine, of course I can save her if I want to! I just feel that she is very aggrieved.”
Hua Manman had already woken up before Fang Ruotang spoke, and her body had changed in various ways. She was now completely different from the person she had been on the verge of death just moments before.
Hearing Fang Ruotang recount her hardships over the years, tears slowly streamed down her face, and she choked back sobs.
After a while, she suddenly turned over and knelt down, kowtowing several times, her voice filled with sobs as she asked, "Grand Preceptor, can you help me? How can those who killed my people enjoy my inheritance? I want them to pay for their crimes in blood. I know you can contact my dimension, right? Please help me, and I am willing to pay any price for it. I will serve you like a slave for the rest of my life."
"Don't be like this, I'll help you! I don't need you to be my slave." Fang Ruotang helped the person up and took out a handkerchief to press on Hua Manman's bleeding forehead.
"Evil people deserve to be punished. I don't like the ending of your story either, so I will help you."
"Grand Preceptor, thank you."
Hua Manman was about to kneel down again as she spoke.
Fang Ruotang knew that in her world, kneeling was no longer a custom, so she quickly pulled her up and teased her, "You've only been here for a little over half a year, and you're already kneeling all the time. You've really adapted to local customs."
Hua Manman opened her mouth, wanting to explain that although the Xingqing Marquis's mansion was declining, she had always lived a secluded life at her age, and this was the first time she had ever knelt before someone in this era.
But then I felt that it was a trivial matter and there was no need to say more.
"You can't go back now, what do you plan to do? Why don't you stay in Tianyi Sect? Test your spiritual roots. If you have talent, you can enter Tianyi Sect to cultivate. If not, you can work for Wuyou. With your business acumen, you should be able to achieve great things with Wuyou."
"Thank you, Grand Preceptor." Hua Manman readily agreed, but she would inform him in advance if there was anything she needed to say.
“But I will still go back to the Xingqing Marquis’s Mansion. I promised the original owner that I would take care of that big family for her.”
Hua Manman had no desire to stay in the old lady's body, so the old lady, who had already passed away and was only a wisp of soul left, had the opportunity to see her in a dream and entrust her to the whole family.
At the time, Hua Manman only wanted to go home and did not agree. However, when she later learned that she could not go back, she felt that she could not just occupy the body of the old lady without doing any work. So she scolded her good-for-nothing descendants one by one.
Fang Ruotang didn't care about such trivial matters. She tilted her head and said in a friendly manner, "Okay! You can decide for yourself! Do you want me to take you to the Tianyi Sect next door?"
"No, no need! Thank you, Grand Preceptor, I can go by myself!" Although Hua Manman had always worked hard while studying and became a workaholic after entering society, she was not completely deaf.
She felt the changes in her body, but felt that the novel was still too conservative.
"Grand Preceptor, Your Highness the Crown Prince, I shall take my leave now."
Hua Manman bowed and slowly withdrew.
Fang Ruotang smiled at the Crown Prince with a hint of delight and said, "See! I told you not all time travelers want to take over someone else's body. There will definitely be people who want to go back."
"Just like me, even if life in the previous world was more convenient, I never thought of going there because my family and friends are all here."
"Only family and friends?" The Crown Prince stared at Fang Ruotang with his dark eyes.
"And my brother, the Crown Prince, I can't bear to part with you either." Fang Ruotang said, tiptoeing to kiss the Crown Prince on the corner of his mouth, making a crisp sound.
The crown prince was still not satisfied. "Then what am I to you?"
“…Hmm, lover?” Fang Ruotang tilted her head and answered uncertainly, wondering if the Crown Prince wanted to hear this answer.
A look of satisfaction flashed in the prince's eyes. He pulled the little girl into his arms and lowered his head to cover her lips with his.
After a moment of intimacy, the Crown Prince stepped back, gently wiping the moisture from Fang Ruotang's lips with his fingers, and said in a hoarse voice, "On the eve of the Lunar New Year, would you like to stay overnight at the Eastern Palace?"
"We'll see when the time comes!" Fang Ruotang replied perfunctorily.
[Tsk, I'm not going! They won't let me sleep, it's all for nothing. I'd rather stay home and set off fireworks with my girlfriends.]
