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

Li swallowed hard and shrank back a little.

For some reason, she felt a little scared.

Ye Xiuyuan walked in unhurriedly, his eyes scanning everyone around him. "Ranran, have you all finished eating?"

The way they called each other so intimately made Jiang Ranran's lips curl up slightly, and the irritation in her heart finally calmed down a bit.

She bowed, about to complain, "Brother Ye, you..."

"Ranran! Aren't you going to introduce her to the Third Young Master?"

Jiang Jiman interrupted her.

Jiang Ranran was startled. Remembering what he had just said, that they still couldn't afford to make enemies with these stupid maids, she swallowed the rest of her sentence and instead introduced each member of the Jiang family to Ye Xiuyuan.

Ye Xiuyuan was completely unpretentious. “Uncle Jiang, Aunt Jiang, I have already heard about what happened in the retreating team from Ranran. Don’t worry, I will send someone to find Yu Tieniu and the others and I will definitely avenge you.”

"Really?"

Jiang Bocai and Jiang Zhongtian asked in unison.

It wasn't that they didn't trust him, but both of them were injured and they truly hated Yu Tieniu and his men.

If it weren't for them, how could all our food have been stolen? How could we have been starving and freezing in the army!

"Of course it's true."

Ye Xiuyuan waved to the person behind him.

The maid handed over a tray with several small medicine bottles on it.

He handed the medicine to Jiang Ranran, saying, "These are all top-quality wound medicines; please use them first."

"Ah, this."

Jiang Ranran glanced back at Jiang Jiman. "Give them the medicine directly? Does this mean they're not allowing a doctor to examine them?"

Jiang Jiman gently scolded, "Hurry up and thank the Third Young Master."

Seeing that he didn't mention it, Jiang Ranran could only bow and thank him.

Ye Xiuyuan added, "Then you should rest here for now. Once you've recovered, we can talk about other things."

Jiang Chuan and his group wondered if they could find a better place and improve the food and accommodations.

But Jiang Jiman didn't say anything, so they shut up on their own.

Jiang Ranran saw him off, feeling rather unhappy, but still said, "Thank you, Brother Ye."

Ye Xiuyuan gave a lukewarm "hmm" and left.

He was conflicted; judging from Mianmian's attitude today, she couldn't tolerate this younger sister.

If she finds out that I'm still with Jiang Ranran... wouldn't she be angry?

At this moment, Jiang Mianmian didn't care about him anymore, "Bang! I won again! Come on, let me win!"

"Oh dear, I'm not playing anymore, my eyes are being blocked!"

With her face covered in sticky notes, Old Madam Ye hugged Granny Zhao and pretended to cry, "How did you lose again!"

"Madam, you should rest now."

Granny Zhao lifted the paper strips covering your face. "This old servant stuck these on for you; your face is covered in them."

"..."

The old lady looked at Seventeenth Sister, whose face was covered with a sticker.

Looking at Jiu Niang, who only had a few stickers on her, she felt quite tired. "I'm too old to compete with you young people. Let's fight again tomorrow!"

"Are you going to stick notes on me again tomorrow?"

Jiang Mianmian looked up with her smooth, fair face and asked with a grin, "If it's about playing with coins, I'll have to go back to the cave to get them."

The old lady's eyes darted around, "Playing with silver! I'll provide the capital!"

She has plenty of money, so losing is no big deal. But being humiliated like that is truly shameful!

"Alright, but don't try to renege on your promise!"

After they made their decision, Jiang Mianmian and the other two returned to Qingzhu Residence.

Granny Zhao helped the old lady wash up, saying, "It's already past midnight, you've been playing too late."

"Mianmian, bring two decks of cards. You can try it tomorrow, and then you'll see."

The old lady laughed until her face ached. "Oh dear, Mianmian, if only she were my own granddaughter."

Those women from the second wife's family are so boring and noisy, it's really annoying.

Lying on the bed, she sat up again. "I wonder how many days Mianmian will stay. Go to the storeroom tomorrow morning and see if there are any good things left. We'll have a feast for the next few days and have some fun."

"Okay, it's all up to you."

Granny Zhao was both helpless and happy.

When she met Mianmian, the old lady seemed to have become several years younger, or even more than ten years younger!

It's rare for her to be happy, and if the old lady wants to play, then let her play.

The Ye family's young ladies also gathered together, picking out the hair clips Jiang Mianmian had given them, asking, "How do you put these in?"

"You're so clumsy! This is pinched, just squeeze it like this!"

"Wow, this is so beautiful! It's so sparkly!"

Another courtyard.

"Second brother, look at this thing, how do you play with it!"

Young Master Ye was only ten years old, holding a Rubik's Cube in his hand, crying out, "I can't solve it! Help me! Ah!"

Young Master Ye and Ye Xiuyuan are the same age, both seventeen, but he is still like a child, studying the Luban lock.

He took the Rubik's Cube from me. "Does it need to be the same color on every face? Let me try."

Madam Ye was annoyed by the noise. "What kind of nonsense is this that you've been studying all night? Have you finished your homework for today?"

"finished!"

The two answered in unison.

"Then go to sleep! Go back to your rooms!"

Madam Ye chased them away and pulled the Second Master onto the bed, saying, "Why are you reading a book?"

Master Ye held up what he was holding, "It's the booklet about the Luban lock, it's very interesting, if it could be used in..."

"Alright, alright, I think that girl sprinkled some kind of sleeping potion on these things."

The second wife threw the booklet away, saying, "They all look like they've lost their souls! What's so good about them!"

"Hey, don't break it! What if it's used for..."

"Are you endless?"

"How can you be so unreasonable? That stuff works! Jealous woman! You don't like the things my mother likes, and you don't like the people my mother likes, right? You kept that Jiang family around just to deliberately annoy my mother?"

"Your mother, your mother, your mother! Is that really your mother? You call her so affectionately, anyone who didn't know better would think you really crawled out of her belly... Ah!"

"Snapped!"

The second master slapped her hard, got up, picked up the booklet, and left, yelling, "Incomprehensible!"

"Where are you going?!"

"study!"

Only Madam Ye's mournful sobs remained inside the room.

The Ye family gradually returned to peace.

Jiang Mianmian and the other two originally had three rooms, but she was worried about them sleeping separately, so she gave some food to the old women and helped move the beds over.

The three of them slept in one room.

Hearing that the two were sleeping soundly, she tucked her pillow into the blanket and slipped into Peach Blossom Spring.

I spent a day at the Ye family's house, and my merit points increased slowly, only a few dozen so far.

She was a little anxious, but since she had promised the old lady, she couldn't leave in a hurry. She could take advantage of these few days to properly tidy up Taoyuan and the warehouse.

She didn't come in much during the day, and now she still has more than an hour left, enough time for her to do a lot of things.

This time she didn't drive, but slowly walked from her lodging to the village, and found that something seemed to have changed.
