In a year of natural disasters, the young woman had billions of resources to build a paradise.

The window of the side room was half open, and Jiang Mianmian peeked through the crack.

As expected, it was Magistrate Ye.

People outside were also looking over.

Ye Hansheng paused, then struggled to pounce, her voice filled with excitement, "Miss Jiang! Miss Jiang, what are you doing here with my great-aunt?"

Jiang Mianmian felt it was inappropriate to stay inside any longer, so she got up and went outside. "Young magistrate, I didn't expect to meet you here."

"Do you know?"

Granny Zhao exclaimed in surprise, "Quickly, come in, everyone. The old lady is waiting."

She looked at Jiang Mianmian, "Miss Jiang, are you feeling better?"

"I feel much better, thank you, Granny."

Jiang Mianmian noticed that many people were watching her, but she didn't pay much attention and followed the others into the house.

The old lady pulled Ye Hansheng aside and asked how the two of them met.

Jiang Mianmian answered before he could, saying that they had met by chance in the county. Ye Hansheng then wisely shut his mouth and began to complain about his father.

Along the way, they were always trying to smooth things over, taking breaks every now and then, and so on.

After the grandmother and granddaughter finished chatting, the old lady asked her how she slept, "Why did you faint there?"

"To be honest, Madam, the ladies in the building and I are temporarily living in the mountains to the east. There are many caves there, which can provide shelter from the wind and rain."

Jiang Mianmian took the opportunity to say goodbye, "I was just too tired on the way back that made me dizzy. I've rested enough now, and I think..."

Before she could finish speaking, the old lady interrupted, "Don't rush off. Get well first."

"I'm fine now. I was just out for too long and I was afraid they would worry."

Jiang Mianmian bowed respectfully. "I hope you will understand, Madam. I will send you some more pills after I return home to let you know I am safe."

The old lady and Granny Zhao exchanged a glance and smiled, "How about this? It's not convenient for you all to live in those caves. Why don't you all move over here? Anyway, there are plenty of empty courtyards in the estate. And with your reminder, we've prepared plenty of food."

It's not convenient here, okay?

Jiang Mianmian thought to herself, and was about to speak again when she saw a man and a woman enter the courtyard.

The man walked quickly, and the woman held an umbrella for him from behind. Half of her body was soaked, and her head was hanging low.

Yet that face was still incredibly familiar! It was Seventeenth Sister!

Jiang Mianmian got up and ran outside.

She only knew that Seventeenth Sister had been redeemed, but she didn't know that it was the Ye family!

She grabbed the woman's arm, "Seventeenth Sister! It's me, Mianmian!"

The woman broke free, saying, "Miss Jiang, you've mistaken me for someone else. I'm not Seventeenth Sister, but Third Young Master's Concubine Lan."

The voice is the same, the appearance is the same, how could it not be Seventeen? Could it be that something is preventing her from acknowledging herself?

Jiang Mianmian's heart sank lower and lower. It was the Third Young Master again!

He wanted to see me last night, and now he's here with Seventeen Sister. What a coincidence!

She raised her head and looked coldly at the man in front of her. "Third Young Master, Ye Xiuyuan?"

“Miss Jiang, I knew you would recognize me.”

Ye Xiuyuan and Ye Hansheng look about five points alike, but Ye Xiuyuan's features are more prominent and strong.

He smiled slightly, his eyes practically brimming with greed.

"Oh dear, it's raining so hard, you three come inside quickly."

Seeing the three of them locked in a stalemate in the courtyard, Granny Zhao quickly pulled them all inside.

After a moment's thought of saying goodbye, Jiang Mianmian changed her mind and said with a smile, "Madam, it would be too much of a disturbance if all of us moved here. However, I really like this estate. I'll go back and tell them that I'll bring Jiu Niang along for a few days. Would you be happy to have us stay here?"

Judging from this, Ye Xiuyuan might have some scheme in mind. She didn't want to get involved, but Seventeenth Sister was here and refused to acknowledge her, so she couldn't leave her here alone. If she brought Ninth Sister over later, perhaps Seventeenth Sister would be willing to tell her the truth.

Whether she stays or leaves, we need to figure it out first, and it's best to go with her wishes.

"Of course you're welcome! Not just for a short stay, but you're welcome to stay for an extended period!"

Madam Ye was overjoyed and wanted to have a carriage and a thank-you gift prepared.

Jiang Mianmian politely declined, saying that as long as she could get the supplies by noon, she could get an electric mountain bike, which would be much faster than a horse-drawn carriage.

The two made their decision, and Ye Xiuyuan tried to strike up a conversation, but no one paid him any attention.

He slowly closed his mouth, still smiling.

But the hand hidden in her sleeve pulled Aunt Lan over and pinched her hard.

"hiss."

Aunt Lan was in pain.

Jiang Mianmian frowned and looked over. "Madam, Aunt Lan looks familiar. I wonder if I could speak with her alone for a few minutes?"

"There's nothing that can't be done..."

"No, no, no, I am terrified. I suddenly have a stomachache, so I'd better take my leave."

The two voices sounded at the same time.

As Aunt Lan finished speaking, she gave a hasty bow and ran off.

Madam Ye was speechless. Wasn't it said that this Aunt Lan was very domineering? Why does she look like a chick?

"I'll teach that Aunt Lan a lesson later."

Ye Xiuyuan looked very angry.

"You'd better not let her lose a single hair."

Jiang Mianmian issued a direct warning, then looked at Ye Hansheng, who had been silently watching the commotion, and asked, "Little magistrate, if there are any disturbances in your household, are you in charge?"

"Of course! Leave it to me!"

Ye Hansheng leaned closer and whispered, "I'll protect Aunt Lan for you, right?"

Jiang Mianmian gave him an approving look.

The group stayed in Madam Ye's room until lunchtime, after which Jiang Mianmian took her leave.

Madam Ye still sent Wei San to lead the way and take her back to the cave where she was temporarily staying.

Jiang Mianmian remembered that she had fainted when she arrived and didn't really know where Ye Family Village was, so she didn't refuse anymore.

After the two left the village, she learned that the village was also located on the east side of Fengshui County, and in a better location than the cave complex.

This area is very flat and has high ground, so the water definitely won't flood it.

Moreover, with its back against a cliff, as long as the gate is well-defended, there is no need to worry about refugees wandering around in the future.

After walking for about half an hour, Jiang Mianmian saw the familiar path. "Thank you, Brother Wei. It's alright to take me this far. I'll come over tomorrow at the latest."

"Okay, I'll come pick you up then."

After bidding farewell to Wei San, it was almost noon. Jiang Mianmian quickly found a place and tried to enter Peach Blossom Spring.

If the opening time is only one hour at noon, she will suffer a huge loss today!

Fortunately, she got in smoothly. A timer appeared in the lower right corner, and the countdown had just started with two hours remaining.

She quickly ran to that village, and the more she looked, the more familiar it seemed—

Aren't these villages like Tupo Village and Lijia Village?!

Not entirely. When she was collecting supplies, she couldn't take the complete houses; she could only take the things inside. Now, those houses have indeed appeared in Peach Blossom Spring one-to-one, but they have been restored and perfected, and the things inside have been placed back in their original positions before they were collected!

All the furniture and utensils looked like they had been repaired; they were almost 90% new!

You have to understand, in the outside world now, these houses are already flooded and ruined! Everything we didn't bring in is also useless!

Not only these two villages, but also many other villages that she wasn't very familiar with were reproduced one-to-one. These were probably the villages on the north and south sides of Fengshui County that she had collected.

"Huh huh huh~~"

"Ouch~~"

"Chi Chi Chi~~"

Jiang Mianmian was shocked. Were the surviving calves and chicks also there?
