Chapter 123: Arrangements for the Hot Spring Villa

On the terraced fields of Taoyuan Villa, crops flourish lushly and vibrantly. Rice, tea, citrus, longan, lychee, and other tropical fruits are interspersed with vegetables like cabbage, carrots, and peppers, and even traditional Chinese medicinal herbs like astragalus and ginseng. This ecological diversity requires meticulous cultivation and management: seed selection, land preparation, sowing, irrigation, and fertilization—each step is crucial.

In the main house of the villa, Ji Yun's family was nervously analyzing the upcoming chrysanthemum viewing banquet.

"Father, what you mean is that Magistrate Wen is using this opportunity to encircle and suppress those martial arts sects that don't follow him?" Lu Linger slowly stood up from the couch, her long hair like a waterfall, her face slightly worried.

Ji Yun's heart was heavy. Gu Yichen had already been dispatched to investigate the situation, and Ji Junche was in close communication with the village's stewards, all of whom were his former loyal subordinates. In their next move, they planned a direct confrontation with the forces behind Prefect Wen. However, he couldn't let Lu Ling'er know about this. She was pregnant and couldn't take any risks.

At this moment, Lu Ling'er joyfully awaited her father's return, completely unaware that he might be in danger. As her father-in-law, Ji Yun's heart was pounding. He couldn't tell Lu Ling'er that her father had been taken away, as this would only increase her worry and fear. He knew that protecting his family was his most important responsibility. Faced with the current situation, he could only choose to endure silently, doing his best to create a safe environment for Lu Ling'er.

"Ling'er, let your mother stay with you. Other things are not as important as taking care of the pregnancy for the time being." Ji Yun tried his best to make his tone sound relaxed, but he could not hide his inner nervousness.

Yun Ruoxi frowned and said coldly in front of her father: "No, father, Ling'er asked us two sisters to take care of her, and mother wants to stay with you!" She knew very well that her mother Gu Yazhu was a martial arts expert and could provide protection at critical moments.

"Yes, that's right, let's do as the eldest sister suggested!" Yun Ruolin also agreed.

Lu Ling'er, however, didn't care at all. She smiled and said, "Father, actually, my eldest sister is right. I'm staying home to take care of the baby and won't be going anywhere. It's best if you sisters accompany me. You and mother can enjoy your own world. I'll leave you some Jade Dew Rejuvenating Pills."

The Yu Lu Ning Yan Dan (Jade Dew Refining Pill) is hailed as an extremely rare and precious elixir. Legend has it that it is meticulously crafted from precious ingredients such as Tianshan Snow Lotus, Nine Heavens Fairy Dew, Millennium Ginseng, Ambergris, Phoenix Feather Powder, and Phoenix Tears. Taking this elixir can delay aging, seemingly revitalizing the body's functions. Skin is left smooth and delicate, like jade, with a flawless whiteness. It effectively eliminates facial spots and acne, deeply nourishing the skin and leaving it with a healthy glow.

Because its ingredients are extremely rare and difficult to obtain, the Jade Dew Rejuvenating Pill is considered a priceless treasure. Even Emperor Yuande and the Empress only saw two pills on a single occasion, during a tribute. Ji Yun, however, felt that Lu Ling'er treated this precious elixir with disdain, treating it like a commonplace dish. He couldn't help but wonder, in this era, could even such a treasure be considered readily available? Lu Ling'er's indifference and fearlessness left him feeling helpless, and only reinforced his desire to protect the family's future.

Hearing his daughter-in-law's suggestion, Ji Yun felt awkward and said with a wry smile, "I'll do as you say. It would be best if you could always accompany my third sister-in-law and stay in the hot spring villa for a few days. That's the safest place."

"Yes, Father, you can take this opportunity to be alone with Mother and reminisce about your youth." Yun Ruolin hastily added, "Ling'er's medicinal food will surely make you look younger!"

Ji Yun's face darkened, a cloud of discontent rising within him. He had only just entered the realm of manhood, yet his daughters were calling him an old man. He had once been the most handsome man in the capital, his wife the most beautiful, yet now he was being disdained by his children. It was hard to accept.

Finally, Gu Yazhu couldn't stand it anymore, took a few steps forward, and pulled Ji Yun's sleeve: "Husband, don't argue with your daughters, you are so old."

Ji Yun felt helpless, thinking to himself: Why does my wife always help these two troublemakers? How come these two little cotton-padded jackets have become leaky clothes, even less caring than my two sons? It's still my daughter-in-law, Lu Ling'er, who makes me feel the most at ease.
