Zhou Ruo took small steps and jogged to the pomelo tree in the yard.

She stood on tiptoe, trying to pick some branches and leaves from the pomelo tree, but she couldn't reach them.

A group of servants outside the main house watched Zhou Ruo's actions with great confusion, but none of them made a move.

"Wu Bai! Come help me!"

Zhou Ruo stretched her hand upwards with all her might while calling out to Wu Bai, who was guarding the gate.

"Oh! Miss, let me do it."

Wu Bai ran quickly to Zhou Ruo's side, picked a few branches and leaves and handed them to her.

Zhou Ruo took the branches and leaves and walked towards the main house, thinking about how to tie them up as she went.

As he passed by Granny He, he asked, "Granny, could you help me tie these up?"

"Alright, this old servant will tie you up right away, Miss."

After answering, Granny He quickly used the longest vine to tie several branches together.

Zhou Ruo took the tree branch into the house with satisfaction, and at the same time infused it with spiritual energy.

"The spiritual power is still weak, but with the support of Wu Bai and Granny He, the effect should be much better."

Zhou Ruo muttered to herself, weighed the branch in her hand, and nodded with a smile.

Previously, when Zhou Ruo used the scent of oranges to suppress the evil energy on Zhao Jinzhong's Ren meridian, she had great difficulty suppressing it because her spiritual power was not strong.

This time, she specifically used Wu Bai's masculine energy and Granny He's mature aura, along with her spiritual power, to make it much more effective.

More importantly, both Wu Bai and Granny He were people who sincerely served Zhao Jinzhong.

Zhou Ruo was aware of this, and during the process of picking and tying the tree branches, they did not have any evil thoughts or ulterior motives.

Their breath is cleaner, their energy is purer.

"Brother, this is a pomelo branch. You can get a good night's sleep tonight!"

Zhou Ruo climbed into Zhao Jinzhong's tent and placed the pomelo branch beside his pillow.

Zhao Jinzhong remained seated on the bed, looking very tired.

He frowned as he watched Zhou Ruo's series of actions, then looked down at the orange in his hand.

Carefully recalling the process of how she gradually went from pain to relief, and then looking at the bundle of branches that Zhou Ruo had placed there.

He seemed to understand something, and a hint of emotion appeared in his eyes as he looked at Zhou Ruo.

At the entrance, Granny He, Wu Jia, and several other servants had just followed Zhou Ruo inside.

They were terrified when they saw Zhou Ruo climb into Zhao Jinzhong's tent, and they were all worried for Zhou Ruo.

They were even more shocked when they saw that Zhao Jinzhong neither stopped her nor got angry.

"Is this... still our young general?" Wu Jia whispered in Granny He's ear.

Granny He quickly nudged him, signaling him to be quiet.

After arranging everything, Zhou Ruo slumped onto the edge of the bed, letting out a heavy sigh of relief. Hungry!

She glanced at the orange in Zhao Jinzhong's hand, swallowed hard, and then swallowed back the words that were about to come out.

She glanced around the room, and her eyes lit up when she saw a bunch of bananas on the table.

Wow!!

Zhou Ruo ran to the table, eagerly broke off a banana, took a big bite, and swallowed it without chewing.

Then he climbed onto the chair, dangling his legs as he began to eat to his heart's content.

In just a few moments, the entire tabletop was covered with banana peels.

The entire bunch of bananas disappeared into Zhou Ruo's stomach with that satisfying burp.

She patted her bulging belly, feeling content.

But the moment she lifted her eyelids, she felt embarrassed.

The servants inside and outside the door, a dozen or so eyes were all staring at her, their eyes filled with shock.

She slowly turned her head to look at Zhao Jinzhong, meeting his eagle-like eyes for two seconds.

"Yes!" she said, feigning an answer at the doorway, then turned back to Zhao Jinzhong and said:

"Brother... I heard Siqiao calling me, I'm going back now!"

The words had barely left his mouth when the figure vanished.

Watching Zhou Ruo's departing figure, Zhao Jinzhong wondered why the little guy's behavior didn't make him angry.

The servants were still reeling from Zhou Ruo's actions when their master spoke:

"Granny, get me something to eat, I'm hungry."

Granny He was stunned again; it was too unbelievable.

She couldn't remember how old he was when he last spoke in such a gentle tone.

But the experienced woman immediately replied, "Yes."

Then he turned to the bewildered servants and gave them instructions:

"What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and get the young general something to eat!"

The servants dispersed and went about their own business.

From that day on, the servants of Wude Academy were all talking about how the young general had become somewhat different after Miss Zhou Ruo's visit.

Zhou Ruo left Wude Courtyard and skipped all the way back to Lanxiang Courtyard.

She jogged into Lanxiang Courtyard, and at the corner, she accidentally bumped into the woman in front of her.

"Hey! Who's got the guts to be so reckless?!"

The woman staggered back two small steps after being bumped, and was supported by her maid.

Because of her small size, Zhou Ruo was knocked to the ground and fell hard on her bottom.

"Miss, miss, are you alright?"

Siqiao rushed over upon hearing the noise and saw Zhou Ruo sitting on the ground. She quickly ran over and helped her up.

When Aunt Song, who had been shouting non-stop, heard the "Miss" mentioned by Siqiao, she realized that this was the general's newly adopted daughter, and her expression changed instantly.

"Oh, it's Miss Zhou Ruo. Did you get hurt?"

Aunt Song also stepped forward and made a gesture of gently helping Zhou Ruo, who had just regained her balance.

Zhou Ruo rubbed her buttocks with a pained expression, and only after a moment did she look up at the person in front of her.

"Who are you?" Zhou Ruo asked curiously.

"Miss, this is Concubine Song from our household," Siqiao answered first.

This aunt looks very strange. She looks quite beautiful, but why does she look so much like the fox spirit from her previous life?

No, Zhou Ruo carefully examined Aunt Song and felt that she was exuding an aura that made her feel oppressed.

What is it? Zhou Ruo looked from top to bottom and found a jade pendant wrapped in black mist at Aunt Song's waist.

Hidden in the folds of her skirt, appearing and disappearing intermittently.

This is it! This black aura is exactly the same as the black aura on my brother's legs!

"Has this child been hit and lost his mind? Why is he looking at me like that?"

Seeing Zhou Ru staring blankly at her jade pendant, Aunt Song casually covered it completely with the folds of her skirt.

"I'm sorry, Ruoruo accidentally bumped into Aunt Song just now." Zhou Ruo apologized to Aunt Song with a wronged look on her face.

"Oh, what an obedient child!"

Zhou Ruo's attitude surprised Aunt Song, after all, there had never been a child like this in the mansion before.

"Chuntao, send two new outfits to Miss another day!"

After speaking to her personal maid, Aunt Song turned back to Zhou Ruo and said, "If I hurt you, consider it my apology."

After seeing Aunt Song off, Siqiao led Zhou Ruo back to her room.

"Is Miss picking fruit from the tree again?"

Siqiao looked at the tree sap and mud on Zhou Ruo's clothes and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. How could a little girl look like a little monkey?

"It just so happens that Madam sent over two sets of new clothes early this morning. Let me bathe you and help you change into your new clothes!"
