After paying respects to her ancestors and changing her clothes, Su Ruojin went to the main hall, knelt down, and respectfully kowtowed to General Su, who was sitting in the main seat.
"Granddaughter Su Ruojin greets grandfather and wishes him good health and longevity."
"Good, good, it's good that you're back," General Su said with a smile.
Ever since he learned that the young doctor who saved him, Yan Yang, was actually his own granddaughter, he had been so happy that he couldn't sleep for several nights.
Now that his granddaughter has finally come home, how could he not be excited?
General Su took out a jade pendant and handed it to Su Ruojin: "Little Jin'er, this is a gift from your grandfather to greet you."
Su Ruojin accepted it with both hands: "Ruojin thanks Grandfather."
The Su family members were slightly taken aback when they saw the jade pendant.
The jade pendant given by General Su was no ordinary item; it was the command token of the Su family's secret guards, and could be considered the Su family's trump card for survival.
Generally, the inheritance is passed down to the son, and General Su simply gave it to Su Ruojin.
However, no one else in the Su family minded; on the contrary, they thought it was perfectly normal.
All five sons of the Su family were skilled in martial arts, so they would not compete with their sister for this item.
Su Ruojin was unaware of the purpose of the jade pendant, assuming it was a small token of her grandfather's affection, and accepted it without hesitation.
Next, Su Ruojin paid her respects to General Su, Madam Su, the four sons of the Su family, and the elders of the clan in turn, and everyone presented her with a gift.
Su Muyao also took out her favorite set of jewelry and gave it to Su Ruojin.
After Su Ruojin finished kneeling and bowing, she stood up and nodded to Yan Luo, who was standing to the side.
Yanluo came up carrying a tray.
On the tray were several small black boxes. Su Ruojin picked up one of the boxes, opened it, and found a black pill inside.
She said, "I am deeply grateful for the kindness shown to me by all the elders. I am just a doctor and have nothing of value to offer. This is a Longevity Pill, a small token of my appreciation. I hope the elders will not find it offensive."
Upon hearing this, all the elders gasped in shock.
Although the effects of Shou Kang Dan are not as good as Yan Shou Wan, taking one pill can still achieve the effect of prolonging life. It is worth a thousand taels of silver on the market and is often in short supply.
The elders are all quite old; nothing would touch their hearts as much as a Longevity Pill.
There are as many as ten elders of the Su family present today, and this gift is equivalent to giving away ten thousand taels of silver.
Wasn't it said that the missing eldest daughter of the Su family was just a minor doctor named Yan Yang before?
How could they be so wealthy and powerful?
However, some people understood this because they associated it with Su Yiting.
It must be Su Yiting sponsoring this younger sister behind the scenes, using money to build a good reputation for her.
Regardless, the elders were delighted to receive this gift and praised Su Ruojin for being intelligent, sensible, and polite.
Actually, she could afford to give each of these clan elders a longevity pill.
However, a single Longevity Pill is far more valuable than a Longevity and Health Pill. Giving away so many at once would be too conspicuous and would inevitably cause unnecessary trouble.
Su Ruojin also gave some gifts to the other members of the Su family as a token gesture, just enough to save face.
She couldn't possibly give a real gift in front of so many people.
After the formalities at the General's Mansion were completed, guests began to arrive one after another.
Su Ruojin changed her clothes and was led by Madam Su to Xiyue Pavilion, where the ladies of the capital gathered, to formally introduce her to the ladies of prominent families.
Wei Yinshuang has not returned to the academy yet due to feeling unwell after collapsing at the Regent's Palace last time.
She was naturally invited to participate in the search for the eldest daughter of General Su's mansion.
Wei Yinshuang was very interested in her future sister-in-law.
Upon receiving this news, the Duke of Dingguo's mansion had already decided that it would arrange this marriage for Wei Xuelin no matter what, and bring the Su family to the Wei family's side.
When Wei Yingshuang saw Su Ruojin helping Madam Su walk in, she was a little surprised. Could it be that Madam Su was sick and asked Su Ruojin to take care of her?
Su Ruojin was actually wearing a crimson brocade dress. Given her status, how could she afford to wear such clothes?
Could it be that Madam Su gave it to her?
What about the eldest daughter of the Su family?
She looked behind Madam Su and only saw Su Muyao; she didn't see any other unfamiliar women.
