Trialists from various academies and sects left the entrance square of the secret realm one after another.

After adjusting her mood, Jiang Lingyue also walked outside. After a while, she saw her personal maid Chuntao waiting outside the entrance square.

Chuntao waved to Jiang Lingyue, and the two walked towards their own carriage together.

Along the way, Jiang Lingyue remained silent, as if she was thinking about something. Chuntao saw this and tactfully did not interrupt her.

After getting on the carriage, Chun Tao finally couldn't help but ask, "Miss, how was the trial this time?"

Jiang Lingyue came back to her senses, shook her head and said, "There are many strong people in this trial, and there are also evil sects mixed in, so the process is quite thrilling. However, I have also gained something."

At this point, her eyes became firm, "In the future, I will definitely work hard to practice and become stronger."

Chuntao looked at her determined expression and couldn't help but cheer her on.

The carriage moved slowly forward, heading towards the capital city of Fengqi.

After traveling all the way for a few days, they successfully arrived at the capital.

In the Ninth Princess's residence, the principal husband Wen Yuanzhou and the concubine Gu Yuan received the message and got up early to start preparing.

Gu Yuan and Gu Xue together urged the servants in the mansion to sweep the courtyard and trim the plants.

With the cooperation of housekeeper Qiuju, Wen Yuanzhou arranged meals and banquets, tidied the rooms, and prepared to welcome Jiang Lingyue.

Near noon, Jiang Lingyue and Chuntao's carriage stopped at the main gate of the Ninth Princess's Mansion.

Jiang Lingyue jumped off the carriage and immediately saw Wen Yuanzhou and Gu Yuan waiting outside the door.

Wen Yuanzhou was sitting in a wheelchair, wearing a light green wide-sleeved gown with elegant green bamboo embroidered on the hem, showing his gentleness and elegance.

Her ink-black long hair was tied behind her head with just a jade hairpin, looking low-key and casual.

His amber-like light brown eyes were filled with fondness and longing.

Gu Yuan stood on the other side, wearing a dark blue suit that made him look tall and straight. His long, slightly curly hair was tied in a high ponytail, and he looked heroic and energetic.

When he saw his wife getting off the carriage, his face was filled with joy, his pair of golden pupils were as bright and hot as the sun, and his admiring eyes were like a loyal big wolfhound.

His sister Gu Xue stood beside him, holding Jiang Lingyue's eldest son Jiang Qiliang.

The housekeeper Qiu Ju and some other servants stood neatly on both sides behind them.

Jiang Lingyue walked towards the people who came to greet her, with a slight smile on her face: "I am back. Sorry for the long wait."

"Welcome back home, my wife." Gu Yuan said excitedly.

Wen Yuanzhou looked at her and smiled, "It's good that you're back. Lingyue must have had a hard time."

"It's not hard." Jiang Lingyue's eyes were soft, "I'm sorry to have made you worry about me."

After the greetings, the group walked into the mansion and sat down in the main hall.

Jiang Lingyue briefly recounted her experience during the trial, of course omitting the details of her entanglement with Ye Xinghe and Fang Chengyu.

Wen Yuanzhou and Gu Yuan listened carefully, and still found something unusual about Jiang Lingyue and the two men from her brief description. But they just guessed silently and didn't ask any more questions.

At lunch time, the family sat around the table, laughing and talking, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

After lunch, Jiang Lingyue took a short rest and then called the housekeeper Qiuju, asking her to arrange some trustworthy subordinates to secretly track and investigate Chen Ting, the daughter of the Minister of Revenue.

She wanted to find out whether the person who attempted to harm her was Chen Ting herself, and whether there was another mastermind behind it.

When Gu Xue heard that Jiang Lingyue was nearly murdered, her eyes instantly turned cold and she was immediately filled with righteous indignation. She volunteered to investigate Chen Ting.

Qiu Ju had great confidence in Gu Xue's loyalty and ability, and believed that she was the ideal person to complete this task, so she gladly entrusted this important mission to Gu Xue.

In the afternoon, Jiang Lingyue held her eldest son Liangliang and sat in the pavilion with Gu Yuan, playing with him.

Half an hour later, Jiang Lingyue returned to her courtyard.

As soon as she entered the room, Chun Tao suddenly said, "Your Highness, the servant next to your husband, Master Wen, is outside asking to see you."

"Let him in." Jiang Lingyue said.

After a while, a servant came in, bowed and said respectfully, "Your Highness the Ninth Princess, my son has prepared an indoor hot spring, and I came to report to Your Highness."

A hint of surprise flashed in Jiang Lingyue's eyes. She didn't expect that Wen Yuanzhou had taken advantage of this time to build a hot spring pool in his mansion just because he had mentioned hot springs in a casual chat before.

She nodded with satisfaction, "Tell your master that I know about this and will go there later."

After the servant left, Jiang Lingyue asked Chuntao to pack some clothes.

Then, Chuntao led her to the side yard next to her courtyard.

When you push open the gate, you will see blooming flowers, scattered trees, pavilions, and flowing water in the courtyard.

Walk through the corridor and hall to the hall outside the hot spring.

Pushing open the door on the side wall of the hall, you will see an elegant screen in front of you, and behind the screen is the bathroom.

Lifting the beaded curtain on the inner door of the shower room, you will see the indoor hot spring.

In the center of the room was a hot spring pool of several meters square, with steam curling above the water. Around the hot spring pool were soft couches for resting, tables and chairs, and coffee tables with some fruit snacks on them.

When the window on the east wall of the room is opened, you can see the flowers and plants in the courtyard.

On the other three walls, there are some shelves, treasure cabinets and lamps, which are both practical and elegant.

Looking around, Jiang Lingyue couldn't help but praise, "Yuanzhou's execution and vision are great!"

"Wen Zhengfu really cares about the Ninth Prince's affairs." Chuntao echoed.

Jiang Lingyue nodded happily, then couldn't wait to take a bath and step into the hot spring pool.

"Wow! So cool."

Jiang Lingyue squinted her eyes happily, and all the fatigue of these days was swept away at once.

While soaking in the hot spring and eating the fruit that Chuntao handed to her, she couldn't help humming a little tune comfortably and felt that her life had reached its peak.

In just a cup of tea, she had finished eating all the fruit on the plate.

"Your Highness, Princess, Chuntao will add some fruit for you. I'll be back soon." Chuntao said softly.

Jiang Lingyue waved her hand gently, and Chuntao slowly retreated upon seeing this.

She leaned against the pool, closed her eyes slightly, and enjoyed the tranquility and comfort of the moment.

Just then, a slight sound was heard. She opened her eyes alertly and looked towards the source of the sound.
