Minister Zhuo Feels Deeply Satisfied

However, Minister Zhuo said, "Don't worry about this. Just focus on preparing to enter the palace with your aunt."

"Dad~~ Just tell me! I'm really curious!" Grace's tone was full of playful whining.

With such a cute and pretty daughter acting spoiled, Minister Zhuo couldn't resist and said, "Alright, alright! We'll talk about it later!"

"Thank you!" Grace beamed brightly.

Seeing her smiling so happily, Minister Zhuo was overwhelmed with fatherly love. He patted her on the head and said, "Grace, don't worry. Once you're in the palace, I'll have someone protect you. I won't let you suffer any losses."

Grace paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, thank you, Dad."

Before, she had stubbornly insisted on marrying Colin Gu, which had already worried her dad to no end.

Now, if she started making a fuss about not wanting to enter the palace, her dad's hair would probably turn white.

So... she'll just have to handle it herself!

Although, for now, she still hasn't figured out how to solve it.

......

When Minister Zhuo left the house, he felt a sense of relief.

Grace's eyes and brows resembled her mother's—clear, beautiful, with bright, captivating eyes.

But Lena's gaze was always gentle and kind, making people want to protect her and never harm her.

Grace's eyes, on the other hand, were proud and willful, looking down on everything.

In the past, there were many times when he was truly disappointed in her.

But ever since she returned from Shuiyue Nunnery, she changed.

She became more considerate, cuter, and less willful. As a father, Minister Zhuo felt deeply satisfied.

......

After Minister Zhuo left, Grace sought out Aunt Crystal for a private conversation.

"Miss Grace." Aunt Crystal asked, "Is there something you need from me?"

"Thank you for your help last time," Grace said gratefully. "I really appreciate it!"

"Oh, Miss Grace, don't mention it!" Aunt Crystal shook her head. "I'm truly happy to help you!"

"Aunt Crystal, there's something I want to ask you," Grace continued.

"What is it?"

"The century-old snow ginseng that Mrs. Wan sent—how long has my mother been taking it?"

"Ever since Second Madam sent it over, today was actually the first time I gave it to Lady Lena," Aunt Crystal said with some confusion. "Why?"

"There's something wrong with that snow ginseng," Grace said. "It's an extremely cold medicine! My mother suffers from cold syndrome—if she takes it, her condition will only get worse."

"Extremely cold medicine?" Aunt Crystal's eyes widened. "Are you sure? How could snow ginseng be so cold?"

"I found a book on spiritual medicine in the library," Grace explained. "It says snow ginseng is called the king of all medicines because, depending on how it's processed, it can be warming, cooling, or even heating. The one just now was greenish and bitter, which means it's extremely cold..."

The Zhu Family has a huge library, filled with books on every subject.

There are even rare books on spiritual medicine.

Grace attributed all her knowledge to the medical books she found in the library.

Listening to this, Aunt Crystal knelt down in fear. "Miss Grace, I was ignorant and almost harmed Lady Lena!"

Grace quickly helped her up and said, "Books on spiritual medicine aren't something ordinary people can access, so it's normal not to know. Just don't let my mother take anything sent by her in the future!"

"Yes! I understand!" Aunt Crystal nodded repeatedly.

"Aunt Crystal, does Aunt Wan often send supplements to my mother?" Grace asked.
