Jiang Yao originally built the hot spring villa to make money.

Otherwise, it would be a shame to invest so much and not get your money back.

After it was built, it was open for four or five years, but Jiang Yao's health later became worse.

The villa was closed, and Jiang Yao rested and recuperated in the villa.

The villa was never reopened until her death.

Now that the business is about to open again, Jiang Jiu asks Qin Yuan and Chu Yu to renovate the villa and use it to make money again.

Chu Yu nodded: "Okay."

Chu Yu was a courtesan in Huamanlou purely to create a gimmick and was not willing to serve those stinky men at all.

In the evening, Jiang Jiu asked people to entertain everyone in the reception hall.

Tonight, they are all our own people. On one side are Jiang Jiu's capable men, and on the other side are Lu Yunyang's capable men.

There is wine, food and hot springs, so everyone can have fun.

For a moment, the hot spring villa regained its former joy.

A large hot spring above is led downwards, and four or five small hot springs are artificially dug out.

Guests are divided into men and women, and also into private rooms. Some single men and women can take a bath with friends, and some men and women can take a bath together. Both sides are blocked by trees and rockery, so it is relatively private.

After dinner, Jiang Jiu let everyone move freely.

She returned to Jiang Yao's room, changed her clothes, and went to the hot spring again.

Seeing Lu Yunyang lying there leisurely, he was about to leave when he suddenly remembered that this warmth should be Jiang Yao's personal one. She was in poor health and the temperature of the hot spring was a bit high.

Jiang Jiu walked to Lu Yunyang and felt the water temperature.

"It's so hot, be careful not to harm your scrotum."

With a "splash", Lu Yunyang stood up and flipped into another small pool with a lower temperature, looking at Jiang Jiu with a smile.

"Are you really planning to go to the capital?"

Jiang Jiu nodded: "Yes, my mother's death is unclear, and I must find the truth."

As she spoke, Jiang Jiu jumped into the water. The warmth and comfort made her sigh softly. Lu Yunyang stared at her straight in the eyes. The moral bottom line in his mind wanted him to take his eyes off Jiang Jiu, but his eyes seemed to be nailed to his head and he couldn't move them away at all.

"The capital is extremely dangerous. If you want to go, I will accompany you..."

Jiang Jiu raised his eyebrows: "Okay."

The answer was straightforward and he actually agreed.

Lu Yunyang always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

"I have a piece of news for you, you may not know..."

Jiang Jiu: "Speak."

Lu Yunyang: "Your cousin Jiang Mingyue actually pretended to be you and went to the capital. She even entered the Chang family and claimed to be Chang Mingyuan's daughter."

Jiang Jiu was slightly startled: "She went to the capital? Wasn't she burned badly and went back to her hometown to recuperate?"

Jiang Jiu was not very well-informed about the news in the capital.

Lu Yunyang raised an eyebrow at Jiang Jiu with pride: "My people heard that Chang Mingyuan found the concubine's daughter who had been missing for fifteen years. They knew your identity and that you were with me, so they thought there was something fishy going on and went to the Chang family to investigate."

"As soon as the portrait was drawn, I recognized it. It was Jiang Mingyue. She actually took your identity and entered the Chang family. I don't know what she wants to do."

Jiang Jiu was stunned and found it even more unbelievable.

"She's impersonating me? She's already married, so she's just using her status as the prime minister's daughter to marry into a richer family. But will Madam Chang agree?"

Lu Yunyang sighed quietly, "So far, she's been doing OK in the Chang family. I just don't know what identity you'll be using to come to Beijing."

Jiang Jiu thought about it carefully and smiled: "She came to the capital under my identity, so I came to the capital under her identity. In comparison, her identity is cleaner. Her husband was burned to death and she became a widow."

Lu Yunyang was a little unhappy at first, but after thinking about it, he came up with an idea.

"Then I will go and annoy her, travel a thousand miles to chase my wife, and bring her back to Prince Qi's mansion. From now on, Chang Mingyuan will be my father-in-law."

True or false, Jiang Mingyue's move directly pushed Chang Mingyuan to Lu Yunyang's camp.

After five days of rest at the hot spring villa, Jiang Jiu went out early in the morning to see Manager Cheng and others out of the city.

Manager Cheng would not really select his own children. He only picked a few from the side branches, and the rest were guards and servants purchased by his family.

The same goes for other shop owners. There always has to be someone to do the work. These young masters are delicate and fragile, so how can they withstand long journeys and do physical work?

Wu Yuan, on the other hand, set off with his second son and twenty guards with excellent martial arts skills, riding on tall horses.

They didn't bring any goods, just food and daily necessities for the journey. Even so, it was a long queue.

After bidding farewell to Manager Cheng and the others, Jiang Jiu asked someone to spread the news of the opening of the hot spring villa.

Soon, a long line of people formed in the shop to reserve a seat.

The hot spring villa has set up a store in Suzhou City to register a list of distinguished people who want to go to the hot springs.

These wealthy people naturally wouldn't queue up in person; it was their housekeepers and maids who would queue up.

After receiving the news, maids, old women, and housekeepers came with their respective family’s signs to pay money, line up, and wait for the date to be arranged.

Because there are limited rooms in the hot spring villa, it can only accommodate about ten guests at a time. These guests bring their maids, old women, and servants, and almost every family can book two or three rooms.

Therefore, even if you register and pay the money, you still have to wait for the time to be arranged.

After more than ten years, the hot spring villa reopened. Those who had enjoyed the hot springs wanted to enjoy it again, so they all came.

Princess Qiyang's injuries gradually healed, and she looked listless.

The maidservant beside her got the news and hurried to inform her.

"Princess, good news! I heard there's a hot spring resort in Su City that's open. We can go there and take a bath."

Princess Qiyang suddenly became nervous: "Hot spring?"

"There are hot springs in the palace in the capital, but I can only go there with my mother. I didn't expect there would be hot springs in a place like this."

The maid was also very happy: "Princess, guess who owns that hot spring villa?"

Princess Qiyang asked, "Whose? Such a nice place, shouldn't it belong to Zhao Zhuoxi?"

The maid shook her head and said, "It's the owner of Yiye Pianzhou. I heard that she lived there in the last few years before her death. Who knows, the treasure is also hidden there. Jiang Jiu has already moved in with others. Princess, let's make arrangements quickly."

Princess Qiyang waved her hand and said, "Go and invite the prince to come to me. I want to go to the hot spring villa with him."

The maid went out for a walk and came back to report, "Princess, the prince and Madam Jiang went to the villa together. I heard from the servants that it is a good place and will be conducive to the prince's health recovery. He will not be back this winter."

Princess Qiyang was so angry that she laughed.

"While this princess is sick, the two of you should go and enjoy yourself. Okay, pack your things and leave early tomorrow morning."

The next afternoon, Princess Qiyang's carriage arrived at the foot of the mountain.

Then a servant came to report to Jiang Jiu: "Young Master, Princess Qiyang has arrived."

Jiang Jiu put down his pen, blew dry the ink on the paper, and raised the corners of his lips.

"I knew she couldn't hold back. Everyone who comes is a guest. Please come in. As we said long ago, arrange for her to stay."

At the same time, Lu Yunyang on the other side also received news that the leader of Qiyang County was going up the mountain.

"I knew she would come too. It doesn't matter. Let's just follow Madam's arrangements. We'll just relax and leave her alone."
