She said with a complicated expression, "Ling Yue, Jiaodong Island should be a tough nut to crack. They also covet Silver Beach. You will definitely encounter huge resistance when you go there. You must be prepared!"

Mo Lingyue nodded and said, "Don't worry, Auntie. No matter how great the resistance is, I will successfully reclaim Jiaodong Island. As for Silver Beach, I will not let anyone else get their hands on it!"

Lin Yiwan comforted her: "Go and discuss it with your uncle, and leave Youyi to me. I will take good care of her!"

"Yes!" Mo Lingyue said goodbye and left.

After his figure disappeared, Lin Yiwan finally spoke: "I heard that Ling Yue sent the backyard manager out?"

Youyi nodded: "Yes, she said she was sent to the manor. Based on my intuition, she will definitely not let it go!"

Lin Yiwan reminded him seriously: "From now on, you must carefully check everything sent to you by the manor, and don't let her take advantage of you!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard Zi'er's voice coming from outside: "Madam, Madam Wu and Miss Wu are here to pay their respects!"

Lin Yiwan quickly said, "Let them in!"

Madam Wu and her daughter were the first to kowtow and greet: "Greetings to Her Royal Highness the Princess, Madam Hou!"

Lin Yiwan stood up and supported them: "Hurry up and get up. Is the old lady feeling better? We just settled down and haven't had time to visit her yet!"

Madam Wu smiled and replied, "Much better now. Thanks to Madam Hou Hou's divine help, my mother was brought back from the brink of death. You are the great benefactor of our Wu family!"

Lin Yiwan said, "Mrs. Wu has been in Jingcheng for many years. She must be very familiar with the powerful families in the city. Youyi and I are new here, and I was thinking of asking you to take us to familiarize ourselves with the city!"

Mrs. Wu was a smart person. She immediately understood what Lin Yiwan meant, which was to ask her to take them to meet the powerful ladies in the city.

They came to Jingcheng completely in the dark, so naturally they needed someone who knew them well to escort them.

She quickly promised, "Okay, as long as Her Royal Highness the Princess and the Marquis' wife need me, I will definitely do my best to help them!"

Lin Yiwan suggested, "Why don't Madam Wu organize a banquet, say it's a welcoming banquet for the princess? What do you think?"

Madam Wu quickly agreed, "I will go back and prepare immediately. When a date is set, I will come in person to attend the banquet with Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

She took her leave and returned to the carriage, and her tense mood finally seemed to relax.

Wu Jin'er asked curiously, "Mother, why did the Marquis ask you to prepare a welcoming banquet for Her Royal Highness the Princess?"

Madam Wu sighed helplessly, "You don't understand this, do you? To put it nicely, it's a welcoming banquet, to put it bluntly, it's a loyalty banquet. Madam Hou wants to see how many noble ladies I can invite to welcome Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

Wu Jin'er has been carefully taught by Mrs. Wu since she was a child, so she naturally understands that communication within the inner house is also very important.

Her Royal Highness the Princess had just arrived, so naturally she had to find someone familiar to understand the powerful circle in Jingcheng, and her mother was the person she valued.

Mrs. Wu said with a worried look on her face: "Jin'er, I, your mother, have a heavy responsibility!"

Wu Jin'er said without hesitation: "Mother, I am willing to share your worries. When you go back, please compile a list and I will personally go to the homes of those noble ladies to distribute the invitations!"

Seeing her daughter's stubborn little face, Mrs. Wu immediately felt very relieved.

She thought happily that her daughter could now stand on her own.

If she works efficiently, perhaps she will be appreciated by Her Royal Highness the Princess.

By then, the Wu family will still be a prominent family in Jingcheng!

Thinking of this, she became more and more excited about the future.

At this time, Youyi was lying on the bed with a frown on her face. She had not recovered from the bumpy journey yet.

Lin Yiwan handed her a bowl of hot tea and said, "I just told Madam Wu to host a welcoming banquet for you. Then we'll be able to see clearly how those famous families in Jingcheng react to your arrival!"

A touch of emotion flashed across Youyi's face. She knew that Lin Yiwan was helping her explore the way.

Although she was a princess, she had always lived in the deep palace and had no idea about the social practices outside.

Since she married Mo Lingyue, she had to become a qualified wife of the city lord.

She held Lin Yiwan's wrist, pressed her palm-sized face against her arm and said, "Aunt, you are the person who loves me the most in this world. Not only did you accompany me to Jingcheng, but you also helped me gain a foothold!"

Lin Yiwan rubbed her head and said, "Silly girl, didn't I tell you before that your uncle and I are your strongest supporters? I won't allow anyone to bully you!"

Princess Youyi smiled sweetly: "Thank you, aunt!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw the little cat running in from outside.

She said anxiously, "Mother, Sister Qingning and I also want to learn how to swim. Please help us find a woman who can swim!"

Lin Yiwan asked in confusion, "Why do you suddenly want to learn how to swim?"

Little Meow Meow pouted and yelled, "Dad said he'd take the boys to the beach to go boating in a few days. Let them practice swimming!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she blinked her big eyes in grievance: "Sister Qingning and I want to go too, but we can't swim. Will you not take us with you?"

Lin Yiwan immediately said, "If we don't know how to swim, we can learn. Zi'er is a great swimmer. I'll let her teach you!"

Zhan Miao jumped up happily: "Great, I will definitely study hard!"

Zi'er first prepared a clean pond for Zhan Miao and Zhan Qingning, and then let the two of them walk in carefully.

Zhan Miao is a little afraid of water. She had been kidnapped from the water before.

Almost as soon as she stepped on it, her whole body began to tremble.

She screamed in fear: "No, Zi'er, take me up quickly, I'm scared, I can't even walk!"

Zi'er immediately reached out and picked her up, and she fell into her arms and cried loudly.

She choked with sobs, feeling wronged. "Zi'er, I'm a coward. Will I never be able to swim in my life?"

Zi'er soothed her gently, "No, you're just scared temporarily. Once you've been in the water for a while, you'll be able to overcome the fear in your heart!"

Zhan Miao hugged her neck tightly, full of resentment and struggle.

Can she really overcome it?

Thinking of this, she urged with a stern face: "Zi'er, put me down first, I want to try again!"

Zi'er looked at her in surprise: "Is it possible?"

Zhan Miao clenched his fists tightly. "Since I told my mother that I want to learn to swim, I can't give up halfway. Besides, I have to go to the beach. I don't want to just stand on the shore and watch them playing and surfing in the water!"

Zi'er nodded and put her back into the water.

Zhan Miao froze on the spot. After taking a few breaths, he forced himself to take a small step forward.

Not far away, Zhan Qingning was waving at her: "Miaomei, come to me quickly and move forward!"

Zhan Miao felt his body was light and his feet landed in the water, almost unable to stand.

But when she saw Zhan Qingning right in front of her, she immediately closed her eyes, took a few quick steps, and rushed into her arms.
