My reborn husband and son are thinking about how to kill me every day.

The reconstruction project in Taoyuan Village is progressing smoothly, and the people sent out to inspect the area are constantly bringing back good news. Except for the Yaoguang County area, most areas are safe.

In a few places where villagers contracted the disease, Ji Yunshuang quickly dispatched troops to control it in time, preventing a large-scale spread.

Ji Yunshuang was in a good mood and felt completely relaxed.

After relaxing, she couldn't help but miss her sweet and gentle little daughter.

She was too busy the other day, dealing with those disgusting insects every day, and didn't have time to think about anything else.

Now that Ningxingzhou is basically safe, she can't help but wonder when she can go back and see the soft little girl.

The little girl hasn't cried since she hasn't seen me for so long!

Thinking of the little girl who was prone to crying, her smile grew even gentler. However, she hadn't expected that the little girl would come looking for her before she could even decide on a date to return.

When she saw the person, she was completely shocked.

"Mother!" Lu Yuzhu rushed into Ji Yunshuang's arms, wrapping her arms around her mother's neck and softly pleading, "Zhuzhu missed you so much, and was so worried about you. Please don't be angry with Third Uncle, okay!"

Lu Xumu, who had secretly brought Lu Yuzhu and Lu Yanqi to Ningxing Prefecture, had already been treated like a grandson by Lu Yinheng.

"Didn't you know there was a plague in Ningxing Prefecture? You brought your child here? It's such a long journey, what if they catch the plague?"

Lu Yinheng looked at his younger brother with a dark face and a serious expression.

He could understand if his fourth brother had done such a thing. But he never expected that it would be his third brother, whom he trusted more, who had done it.

Lu Xumu was so embarrassed by his older brother's scolding that he couldn't lift his head and kept apologizing.

On the other side, after hugging Ji Yunshuang and acting coquettishly for a while, Lu Yuzhu said, "Mother, please go and help Uncle San and say a good word to Father, okay? It was really me who begged Uncle San. He had no choice but to bring my brother and me here because of my fuss. Please help tell Father not to blame him, okay?"

Ji Yunshuang reached out and tapped her forehead in an annoyed tone, "You little rascal, you've been begging and flattering me for half the day just to get me to put in a good word for you? Are you that worried about your third uncle getting punished?"

Lu Yuzhu sighed like a little adult, "What can I do? He did it for me. I can't just ignore it!"

Ji Yunshuang was also a little angry at this moment, feeling that they had been too reckless.

Judging from the timeline, they had set off before the plague in Ningxing Prefecture was fully under control.

She simply couldn't bear the thought of them contracting the disease on their way here...

Fortunately, they arrived safely this time.

If not...

Thinking of the children whose lives were taken by insects, a sense of lingering fear rose in her heart.

"I'm not going to plead for him. You guys are going too far. Why don't you have your dad teach him a lesson so he won't dare to mess around again?"

Lu Yuzhu's face fell.

Her eyes darted around, and she quickly came up with another idea.

"Mom, is Dad working with you now? It's been so long since we ate together. Zhuzhu is so hungry. Shall we go and call Dad so we can eat together?"

Ji Yunshuang knew what she was up to the moment she saw her eyes darting around.

She poked her forehead, muttered "shrewd woman" under her breath, and then took her daughter to find Lu Yinheng.

Seeing Ji Yunshuang, Lu Xumu felt even more uneasy than when facing his elder brother. He knelt down on one knee in front of Ji Yunshuang and said, "Sister-in-law, it's all my fault. I have failed you in your guidance. Hit me!"

Lu Yinheng: "..."

He talked for ages, like a quail. Now he knows to kneel down and admit his mistake.

Ji Yunshuang guessed that Lu Yinheng had already explained a lot of reasons, so she didn't say anything more. She said, "Don't kneel anymore, get up and eat first! It's good that you know you were reckless, don't be so reckless next time."

Lu Xumu stood up.

Is there something you want to tell me?

Lu Xumu gave Ji Yunshuang a thumbs up, "Sister-in-law, you're amazing. Nothing can be hidden from you."

Ji Yunshuang smiled. Did she not even have this much discernment in judging people?

Back then, they gave him a prescription and money to open a shop in Hongdu and do business. Wasn't that because they valued his reliability?

Otherwise, she wouldn't dare hand over the money to him so easily.

Moreover, aside from not considering the plague and bringing his two children with him, he arranged everything else very well when he came to Ningzhou this time.

In addition to his household guards, he also hired a know-it-all to accompany him. They brought along many skilled men and took care of every aspect of the journey.

Overall, it's not bad.

Seeing her mother smile, Lu Yuzhu, being very perceptive, hugged her mother and started acting coquettishly again.

Ji Yunshuang sighed and took her hand, saying, "You must be exhausted from the journey! Let's go eat first, and we can talk about the rest later!"

To facilitate handling official business and staying informed, Ji Yunshuang did not stay at the military camp.

Aside from official business, she lived in a manor outside Ningcheng.

Lu Xumu brought the child to see her this time because Wan Shitong had asked around and knew that she often went to Taoyuan Village, so the group went directly to Taoyuan Village.

There were many food vendors around Taoyuan Village, but after thinking about it, Ji Yunshuang still brought them back to the manor.

Because Ji Yunshuang's return to the manor was unpredictable and she was often in a hurry, the servants in the manor prepared many easy-to-carry pastries and quick-to-cook foods every day.

After bringing the people back to the manor, Ji Yunshuang first had them take a bath.

After everyone finished bathing, the cook had already prepared the food.

The mountain resort was unaffected by the plague, and all kinds of crops yielded a bumper harvest. Furthermore, under Xia Biao's leadership, the resort also experimented with fish and shrimp farming.

The fish have only been raised for a short time and are not yet ready to be eaten.

But river shrimp reproduce very quickly, and we can catch them every day to cook.

Today, the resort's coarse grains were used to make crispy deep-fried river shrimp. The shrimp were coated in flour and fried, making them crispy and crunchy.

Lu Yuzhu loved this dish very much, and her eyes narrowed as she ate it. "Mom, it's so delicious."

Ji Yunshuang smiled and said, "They're raised on the estate. Once you've rested, the estate manager can accompany you to catch some."
