I relied on a system to prolong my life in ancient times.

Chapter 338 The First Banquet at Yue Ran Manor

Xiao Siyue completed the task as scheduled within a month.

The village has been completely transformed. Every path is lined with flowers and various interesting sculptures, making it a veritable paradise on earth. The elderly couple, Xiao Sining, and others are delighted to see the village gradually transform into what it is today.

Xiao Siyue also named the estate "Yueran Mountain Residence," hoping that people who come here can relieve their worries, relax, and be happy.

A few days later, the people Xiao Siyue was waiting for finally arrived: several of her close friends and four of her sisters-in-law.

Originally, I only planned to invite Lu Lanxing, Ye Mufan, and Mu Li, but then I thought of my sisters-in-law and invited them all as well.

Xiao Siyue recalled the letter she had written to her sisters-in-law. Her sisters-in-law either said they wanted to take care of the children or couldn't leave their husbands. In the letter, Xiao Siyue kept persuading them that it would only be a matter of two or three days at night, and that the children would be taken care of by the nanny and other people, so there would be no problem.

Xiao Siyue also wanted to subconsciously change their mindset: women are not born to live for others; they should cherish themselves, and no one is indispensable.

From the message brought by Xiao Sining, Xiao Siyue learned that she had persuaded several of her sisters-in-law.

This was a gathering of women, and Xiao Siyue didn't invite her brothers over; she'll invite them next time.

This was the day they were to arrive. Xiao Siyue had told the manager early in the morning to keep watch at the door and to report to her immediately if they arrived.

At the hour of Si (9-11 AM), the person in charge announced that the person had arrived.

Xiao Siyue got up, straightened her clothes, and went out to greet them.

“Sister-in-law, we really made the right choice in coming here. This estate is absolutely breathtaking, like a fairyland.” Xi Ningzhi looked at the winding path leading to the inner courtyard, with beautiful flowers blooming on both sides.

These flowers were bought by Xiao Siyue at a high price from elsewhere; they are all suitable for blooming in this season.

"Yes, Yue'er is such a clever girl. I can't wait to go in and see what it's like inside," Qu Yin chimed in with a smile.

Everyone else also showed excited and happy expressions.

"Sisters, you've finally arrived!" Xiao Siyue rushed out and found the group casually admiring the beautiful scenery.

"Yue'er" and "Siyue"

The group all looked at Xiao Siyue.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time, beautiful ladies, please follow me." Xiao Siyue said, making a princess-like invitation gesture, which made everyone burst into laughter.

"You're such a clever girl." Xi Ningzhi tapped Xiao Siyue's forehead with her finger, her face full of doting affection.

"Hehe, Third Sister-in-law." Xiao Siyue affectionately clung to Xi Ningzhi's arm.

"Yue'er, your pose is so beautiful, I want to learn it too." Mu Li immediately came over and took Xiao Siyue's hand.

“Okay, I’ll teach you right away.” Lu Lanxing and Ye Mufan also joined in the fun.

After joking around for a while, the three of them got back to the main topic.

Xiao Siyue led everyone to the main hall of the main courtyard.

Xiao Siyue knew that the group was coming, so she would definitely greet Old Master Xiao and his wife first.

"Granddaughter-in-law has met her grandparents,"

"Greetings, Grandpa Xiao, Grandma Xiao. May you be well." Mu Li and the other two bowed and greeted the two.

"Alright, get up now."

"Grandma, it's been so long since I've seen you and Grandpa. How have you been?" Qu Yin asked Old Lady Xiao first after sitting down.

"Your grandfather and I are very comfortable here. Yue'er will show you around and make sure you have a good time."

Old Mrs. Xiao looked at the several pretty girls below with a happy smile, her face full of affection.

"Oh, Grandma, we came all this way to Yue'er's estate for fun. Yue'er promised us it would be well worth the trip. If it's not fun, I'll give Yue'er a good scolding, won't I?"

"Grandma, look at Third Sister-in-law, why is she threatening people?" Xiao Siyue pretended to be angry and complained to Old Lady Xiao.

"Oh, I'm on your third sister-in-law's side. You said you'd take your sisters-in-law out for a good time. If they don't have enough fun, then they should be punished. Grandma will just comfort you then." Old Mrs. Xiao watched the two of them joking around and happily played along.

"Grandma, don't you love me anymore? I'm so sad!" Xiao Siyue pouted, looking like she was about to cry, which amused everyone.

"Oh, you're becoming more and more like a child. How could Grandma not love you? You're Grandma's little darling." These were the words Xiao Siyue had said to her before.

"Haha, Grandma, I'll take them away now. You and Grandpa are busy, just send someone to find me if you need anything." Xiao Siyue had had enough of her antics, so she said goodbye to the elderly couple.

"Alright, you all have fun. Don't worry about me and your grandfather, we have people to take care of us." Knowing that these girls had finally gotten a chance to travel, she couldn't possibly disturb them.

"I'll show you around the estate first, then we'll have lunch." It's still early, so we can take a look around the estate.

“Okay, I’ll do as you say. I’m also very interested in your courtyard.” Qu Yin nodded, and the others agreed with Xiao Siyue’s arrangement.

The group walked along winding paths lined with flowers, each place offering a different view that was always a feast for the eyes. Whether it was a mysterious landscape like a fairyland, a lifelike sculpture, a small house woven with flowers, or cute, fluffy little animals, the sights were endless.

Fourth Sister-in-law Jiang Yan wanted to pick up her paintbrush and paint everything here, but thinking that she wouldn't disturb everyone's interest, she decided to wait until tomorrow.

"Yue'er, how did you come up with that? You're so smart!" Mu Li grabbed Xiao Siyue's arm, so excited she almost jumped up.

"And that's not all, we haven't seen the biggest view of this estate yet," Xiao Siyue said with a mysterious smile.

"What? What else?" Lu Lanxing looked at Xiao Siyue curiously.

"Is Yue'er talking about a hot spring?" This is a hot spring resort, and they haven't seen a hot spring yet on their way here.

"Yes, Mu Fan is right. Let's go see the hot springs, have dinner there, and then soak in the hot springs." Xiao Siyue gave Ye Mu Fan a thumbs up.

"Come on, I want to try that hot spring you mentioned, see if it really relieves fatigue?" Xi Ningzhi couldn't wait. Taking care of two naughty kids these days has been exhausting.

Although the children are mostly cared for by the nanny, she is also exhausted, both mentally and physically.

"Hmm, Yue'er also said that soaking in hot springs can beautify the skin, so I should soak more often."
