Regarding this point, Grandpa Yun had really thought about it. "As for where we will live in the future? Should we return to the capital? Grandfather hasn't thought about it yet, but he knows that if the war has subsided outside, it won't affect us where we want to live. But if the outside world is still in chaos, whether we want to go out or not will depend on our mood, right?"
Yun Ruoxi nodded. "It's best if Grandfather thinks this way. I'm afraid he won't understand!"
"Grandfather is already so old. Even if he was an official in the capital, he has already reached the height of the Duke of Ying. It is already the pinnacle of life. Our Xiao and Yun families have never had the intention of rebellion, nor do we want to be the 95th Supreme. The Three Palaces and Five Marquises are already the highest level."
Yun Ruoxi: "Grandfather, don't worry. Even if you change your mind in the future and want to take over the world, Xixi has plenty of ways to do it."
"Oh, our Xixi is really amazing. If grandpa really wants to be the overlord of this world in the future, he will have to rely on our Xixi's support."
Yun Ruoxi nodded vigorously. "Okay, as long as Grandfather wants, I will help him. But speaking from experience, being the emperor is not very interesting. Not only is it thankless, but you are also constrained by various forces in the court. Life is too boring and restrictive."
"Hahaha, Xixi is right. It is indeed like that. From now on, as long as our Yun family and Xiao family can live a stable life, nothing else matters."
Yun Ruoxi: "Grandfather, Peach Blossom Island and Supply Island have been found. It will take quite a while to sort out the matters on these two islands. I will go back to Peach Blossom Village now. With the teleportation array, I can go back quickly."
"Okay, it's definitely more convenient now that we have the teleportation array. We even don't need a helicopter anymore."
Yun Ruoxi looked around and saw that after three days, the foundation of the City Lord's Mansion on the top of the mountain had been built, and the walls of some houses had been built.
As expected, with more people, work can be done faster, and the framework of the guards' dormitories at the foot of the mountain has also been built.
Seeing that there was nothing she could help with, Yun Ruoxi took the documents and went back to Taohua Village.
Regarding the location of the teleportation array, Yun Ruoxi built it directly on the embroidered building where Yun Ruoxi lived.
The first thing Yun Ruoxi did after returning to the Xiao family was to go to the bathroom to take a shower.
After a lot of trouble outside these days, Yun Ruoxi had no time to wash up properly. She felt sticky and uncomfortable.
After taking a shower, I didn't see the document, but instead saw Xiao Jingrui lying on the bed waiting for me.
Yun Ruoxi: "My husband is back? How is the village doing lately?"
Xiao Jingrui put down the book in his hand, raised his head, and looked at Yun Ruoxi with scorching eyes. "The matter of Taohua Village has been almost dealt with. The Xiao family and the Duke of Ying will send 20 guards to patrol the village entrance every day, and the rest of the people will all be provided by the people of Taohua Village. But fortunately, since Taohua Village built a city wall at the gate, there are no more refugees harassing us."
Yun Ruoxi wiped her hair with a towel as she walked towards the bed. "Have Fangcao's family been found last time? Fangcao's husband is still being held captive by the people of Taohua Village. I don't believe Fangcao can be so calm and hold on for so long without showing up."
Xiao Jingrui naturally took the towel from Yun Ruoxi's hand and gently wiped her hair.
"The guards we sent out earlier said they've found traces of Fangcao's family, but they haven't alerted them yet. Our people are still watching them from the dark. If they make any unusual movements or attempt to attack Taohua Village, we'll be informed immediately."
Yun Ruoxi was slightly surprised. "Since you've found the person, why didn't you take action? Is there a reason?"
Xiao Jingrui nodded and said in a cold voice: "Because the people we sent out brought back news that Fangcao's family was actually colluding with the people from the second branch. The last time the men from Fangcao dared to attack the people from Taohua Village, it was because they listened to the instigation of the people from the second branch."
Yun Ruoxi's expression changed. "So that's how it is. I was wondering why the Fangcao family seemed to have stood up. They knew that the Duke of Yingguo was behind us, yet they still dared to attack us so easily. It's obvious that there is a master behind the scenes giving them advice."
Xiao Jingrui: "That's right, so I asked the guards to hide among the refugees and keep an eye on Fangcao's family and the people from the second house every day, to see what they were planning to do."
Yun Ruoxi: "The people from the second branch are really haunting us. I originally thought that they would die in the flood and epidemic when Yongzhou was hit by the flood. I didn't expect that the people from the second branch were so lucky. They actually survived and were able to escape directly to Qiongzhou and find our location."
Xiao Jingrui said, "It's not difficult to find our location. However, the people from the second branch of the Xiao family are clearly exiled prisoners, but they are mixed in with the refugees and have not registered with the government. I guess they want to use this drought to directly get rid of the title of the second branch of the Xiao family and re-register their household."
"It's not impossible. After all, after we settled in Qiongzhou, the second branch reported that they had been separated from the group due to a flood in Yongzhou. Their fate is unknown. After a long time, everyone would think that the second branch died in the flood and epidemic in Yongzhou. This is indeed a good opportunity to escape."
Xiao Jingrui: "It's simply a foolish dream for the people from the Second House to have such thoughts. We will not give them such an opportunity. We have already sent people to report the case to the local authorities. I'm afraid the officials have already arrested the people from the Second House."
Yun Ruoxi hadn't expected Xiao Jingrui to act so quickly. "So, if the government arrests the people from the second house, which village will they be assigned to? What if they're assigned to Taohua Village?"
Xiao Jingrui: "Madam, don't worry. Big brother has already sent someone to inform the people from the court. They will not be assigned to Taohua Village, but only to other villages. The rest of the matter has nothing to do with us. If the people from the second house want to escape, forget it."
Seeing that Yun Ruoxi's hair was almost dry, Xiao Jingrui used his internal energy to dry her hair directly.
Yun Ruoxi felt warm all over, and when she touched her hair, it was dry. She knew that Xiao Jingrui had used his internal force.
"It's just blow-drying my hair. Why would I need to use my internal energy to do that? What a waste!"
Xiao Jingrui put his arm around Yun Ruoxi's shoulders and said softly, "As long as it's done for Madam, it's not a waste."
Yun Ruoxi's face flushed slightly, and she gently pushed Xiao Jingrui's chest with her hand. "What kind of lewd words are you saying in broad daylight? Aren't you afraid that the servants will hear it?"
Xiao Jingrui didn't flinch at all, instead he tightened his arms around her, "You are my legally married wife, what do you have to be afraid of?"
