Song Pengju agreed with what Song Lan said in his letter. They could trust that the current emperor would not harm the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, but what about the next emperor? Who could know that the new emperor would not be wary of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion?
After all, in the present day, the Duke of Zhenguo's family is related to the maternal family. However, when the new emperor ascends the throne, the relationship between the other party and the Duke of Zhenguo's family will undoubtedly be separated by a layer. It is hard to guarantee that, under the slander of those with ulterior motives, they will find an excuse to take action against the Duke of Zhenguo's family!
Without the Empress Dowager and the current emperor, the new emperor is the ruler of Great Xia. To deal with the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, it is no exaggeration to say that he could destroy it with just a word.
"Okay, we'll do it your way."
Han nodded slightly, agreeing with what Song Pengju said.

As evening approached, the carriage arrived at the foot of the mountain where the Valley of Divine Healers was located.
Since the carriage could not proceed further, Song Pengju instructed the driver to drive the carriage to the nearby estate of the Duke of Zhenguo's manor. He then carried his wife, Madam Han, in his arms, and with a light touch of his toes, used his lightness skill to float all the way to the Valley of Divine Physicians.
It takes crossing two hills to get from the foot of the mountain to the Valley of Divine Physicians. Just as he was crossing one of the hills, Song Pengju saw a figure flying towards him using his lightness skill. When the other person was a few feet away from him, he finally saw clearly in the still-dark sky that the figure coming towards him was none other than his father-in-law, the Divine Physician Han.
"Qingqing, your father-in-law is coming this way."
Hearing Song Pengju's words, Madam Han looked up and saw a familiar figure approaching her and Song Pengju. She couldn't help but smile and call out, "Father!"
The renowned physician Han also saw his daughter and son-in-law, and he immediately responded when Han's voice rang.
"You didn't see Lan'er's letter, did you? And came to the Valley of Divine Healers to find me?!"
Although Doctor Han was over sixty years old, he was still very energetic. If you didn't look at the marks of time on his face, his white hair, and his white beard, you would think he was only in his forties.
Because his figure was still tall and slender, just like in his youth, and he was wearing a white robe, he gave people a sense of otherworldly elegance.
Indeed, Doctor Han started learning medicine from his master at the age of three, and at the same time, he also practiced martial arts. Regardless of how high his martial arts skills are now, his lightness skill alone is definitely remarkable.
Those who practice martial arts not only focus on building strength, but also emphasize developing correct posture and standing habits. With these good habits, their physique is naturally less likely to go out of shape. Moreover, Dr. Han pays great attention to health preservation, so even though he has entered old age, he has maintained a good physique.
Furthermore, even though there are signs of aging on his face, they are not particularly noticeable.
In short, if you ignore Dr. Han's signature white hair and beard, you would never guess that Dr. Han and Song Pengju, father-in-law and son-in-law, are related.
"Um!"
Song Pengju and Han nodded in unison.
"It was after seeing Lan'er's letter that I thought of going to the capital to tell you all."
The divine doctor Han and his wife Song Pengju used their lightness skills to float towards the Valley of Divine Doctors. He said, "There are five packages in total that I haven't opened yet. Once we get to the valley, you can open them and take a closer look."
After a pause, Doctor Han continued, "To be honest, when I first found Lan'er's letter and those things, I was quite shocked. After all, we all know that Lan'er is gone. But the handwriting on the envelope felt strangely familiar at first glance, especially since it said 'To Grandfather' and Lan'er's name."
At that moment, I thought I was seeing things or hallucinating, but after checking again and again, I found that I was not mistaken.
When I opened the letter later, to be honest, I was very excited. I never imagined that such a strange thing could happen in the world.
I don't know what a system is, but Lan'er said she was fortunate enough to be reborn in another world because of a system, and that the package and letter were delivered to our world by the system..."
Song Pengju and Madam Han listened quietly to Doctor Han's words. After he finished speaking, Madam Han said, "Lan'er also mentioned that system in her letter to me and Brother Peng."

Valley of Divine Healers.
"Look, these are the packages I saw."
Pointing to the pile of packages in front of him, Doctor Han said, "Pengju, open them and take a look. These are all good things given to you by Lan'er. With these, the millions of people of Great Xia will no longer have to worry about not having enough to eat or wear!"
Taking the dagger handed to him by Doctor Han, Song Pengju cut open the five packages one by one.
He was confident in his strength, so only the outer packaging was torn open, while the contents of the bag inside remained intact.
As Song Pengju untied the drawstring of a bag, Madam Han quickly noticed what was protruding from it and asked, "Take a look and see what that is?"
Taking out a small notebook about the size of an adult's palm from the bag, Song Pengju said, "These are corn seeds." The cover of the notebook had the word "corn" written on it. Of course, due to the system's operation, the characters were undoubtedly the font currently used in Daxia—the clerical script.
"That's great! Lan'er is indeed alive, she just doesn't live in the same world as us!"
Tears welled in Han's eyes. On her way to the Valley of the Divine Healer, she appeared outwardly calm, but inwardly she was extremely nervous, fearing it was all a dream. Now, not only did the two letters match, but the package did indeed exist.
This is enough to prove that it was Lan'er, her little daughter, who sent them the news that she was alive in another world through that system, and at the same time brought the people of Great Xia high-yield crops that could fill their stomachs, and cotton that could be used to make warm clothes...
Having calmed down somewhat, Madam Han took out Song Lan's letter from her sleeve and handed it to Doctor Han: "Father, this is a letter from Lan'er to me and Brother Peng. Please take a look!"
After taking the letter, Doctor Han read it page by page and asked, "What are your thoughts?"
"We'd like to discuss this with you before making a decision."
Han said, "But without the involvement of the imperial court, it would be difficult to promote high-yield crops throughout the Great Xia."
After Song Pengju finished looking at the contents of the package, he said, "Father-in-law, I want to tell the Emperor the truth, but there's no need to bring out the letter Lan'er wrote to us."
"Then how will you prove to the Emperor that the item was given by Lan'er?"
"Dr. Han asked."
“If it was a dream, I’ll say it was Lan’er who appeared in my dream to Qingqing and me. As for you, Father-in-law, it was also Lan’er who appeared in your dream. The reason Lan’er wanted to put the things here in the Divine Doctor Valley was to try planting them there first… Whether the Emperor believes it or not, as long as our stories are consistent, that’s fine. What do you think?”
Song Pengju shared his thoughts and then asked Doctor Han for his opinion.
"I have no objection."
The renowned physician stroked his white beard and said with a smile, "The emperor has deep feelings for his aunt Lan'er. I believe he was greatly influenced by Lan'er during his upbringing. He won't become a foolish ruler because of your suspicions about the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion!"
