The eldest sister was reborn and the younger sister traveled through time. I just want to survive.

More than 40 years ago, Qian Chongguang's merchant ship encountered strong winds and tsunamis at sea, and the merchant ship dropped anchor and accidentally drifted to Hua Island.

At that time, Huadao had a population of only a few thousand people. The people wore linen clothes and straw sandals and lived in mud brick and thatched houses. They were extremely poor and backward.

It would have been bad enough to be poor, but the island was also experiencing a plague, and most of the people on the island were sick. With no medical care or medicine, they could only wait to die.

The old island owner also contracted the plague, and regarded Qian Chongguang and his group who accidentally landed on the island as a life-saving straw. He promised that as long as Qian Chongguang could control the plague and save the lives of thousands of people on the island, he would give the entire Flower Island to Qian Chongguang.

For the old island owner, Qian Chongguang is the life-saving straw for the people on the island, and for Qian Chongguang, Huadao is also his salvation. If the merchant ship had not accidentally docked at Huadao, they would have probably died in the vast ocean.

Therefore, Qian Chongguang agreed without hesitation and promised the old island owner that he would do his best to control the epidemic and save the people on the island.

At that time, Lin Sheng had just been rescued by Qian Chongguang, and he was the ship's doctor. It happened that he had treated patients with similar plague when he was young, and he quickly formulated an effective prescription for treating the plague.

After the merchant ship was repaired, Qian Chongguang and his party docked at the nearest Chaoyang City and bought several boatloads of medicinal herbs to send back to the island.

With the help of medicine, the epidemic on the island was quickly brought under control, and most people survived, except for the elderly, weak and sick patients.

The old island owner gave the island owner's seal to Qian Chongguang as promised. Qian Chongguang was a businessman who would never do good deeds without early success. He had taken great pains and risked his life to save the people on the entire island. He felt that he should receive some reward, so he readily accepted the island owner's seal.

And if you think about it carefully, although Qian Chongguang owns an island, a poor and backward deserted island is not of much value to him. He can help the people on the island live a good life, and the people of Huadao will not lose out.

For decades, the Qian family's merchant ships would dock at Hua Island every half a month, exchanging food and cloth that were not available on Hua Island for handicrafts, and they would also send people to the island.

For example, innocent slaves like Lin Sheng who committed crimes, or lonely people who suffered various hardships. While helping the poor people, he also provided talents in different fields to the island.

Under Qian Chongguang's management, Huadao is no longer the poor island where people depended on the weather for food. The people on the island have not only learned to grow high-yield crops, but also learned to make various handicrafts using seafood.

It can be said that every family on Hua Island is rich and everyone is healthy, all thanks to the Qian family's support and management over the years. Now half of the people on the island are outsiders, and the poor people who survived with the help of the Qian family are all grateful to the Qian family for their kindness.

The current city lord Murong Feng is the nephew of the old island owner. The old island owner had no children, and after obtaining Qian Chongguang's consent, he passed the position of city lord to his nephew Murong Feng after his death.

Murong Feng's wife, Murong, was an outsider. She was originally the concubine's daughter of a criminal in Jiangnan, and she came to Huadao because of the favor of the Qian family.

But not everyone in the world is grateful, and there are many people who repay kindness with enmity.

In the Lilac Courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion, Murong Feng's muffled voice could be heard, "I told Madam to clean up the Magnolia Courtyard early in the morning. Why did Madam take the initiative to let Miss Qian move into the Sakura Courtyard?"

Murong said in a delicate voice: "I didn't hear it clearly! I thought that the one who came was just the daughter of the Qian family, not Mr. Qian. How could my daughter's family dominate the main courtyard? They are all young daughters, so it's more appropriate for them to be next to Wan'er's courtyard, and they can keep each other company."

"How can you compare Miss Qian with Wan'er?" Murong Feng was so angry that he blew his beard and glared.

Hearing her husband belittle her daughter, Murong's eyes turned red with anger, "Why can't we compare? Our Wan'er is the only daughter of the Huacheng City Lord's Mansion, how can she be compared with outsiders!"

Murong Feng couldn't stand his wife crying, so he sighed and coaxed her helplessly, "Madam, you know that Flower Island belongs to the Qian family, and we are just looking after it for the Qian family. To put it nicely, we are doing things for them, but to put it bluntly, it's a master-servant relationship. No matter how arrogant and willful you are, you must not lose your sense of propriety."

When did she lose her sense of propriety? Murong didn't take it seriously, but on the surface she looked aggrieved and obedient, "I've made a note of it. I know my identity and I won't provoke Miss Qian."

Murong felt that it was true that the Qian family had done her a favor, but one thing was for sure, Hua Island originally belonged to the Murong family, and it was only promised to the Qian family because of a word from the old island owner, so it did not count.

For example, if the old emperor gave away the imperial power with just one word, would the clan members and the people accept it? Of course they could not accept it.

By the same token, Murong Feng is the only heir of the Murong family and should be the owner of Huadao. As for the Qian family, they have made a lot of money from the people of Huadao over the years, and the grudges from the past should be settled.

In short, the City Lord's Mansion and Flower Island should belong to their Murong family. No matter who comes, no one can take away her honor as the City Lord's wife.

Back at the Magnolia Courtyard, Yan Muxi drank some pregnancy-preserving medicine and took a nap, and the discomfort in her body gradually subsided.

Seeing that it was getting dark outside, she asked Yin Xia, "How many servants did Murong assign to serve in our courtyard?"

Yin Xia placed the shredded chicken and meat porridge on the table beside her, and carefully helped Yan Muxi sit up from the bed. After Yan Muxi drank the porridge, she said truthfully: "There are a total of four maids and servants assigned to our courtyard. They are either stupid or too smart. None of them can be of great use."

The island is not like the Prince Rong's Mansion. It is not too few to assign four people to serve in a small courtyard, but it depends on the quality and who you are comparing with. Yan Muxi instructed Yin Xia, "When you are free tomorrow, go and find out how many people serve Murong, and also Murong Wan. Ask them all."

"I have already inquired about it. There are twelve maids and servants around Murong, and eight around Murong Wan." Yin Xia tried her best to suppress her temper, but there was still a hint of annoyance in her voice.

The behavior of the Murong couple clearly shows that they are bullying the young lady because she is weak and alone. They think that even if the young lady is bullied, she can't do anything to them. They don't even think about the fact that without the Qian family, can they live a rich life being served by others?

Yan Muxi wasn't too angry.

As for people! When the good life lasts too long, it is normal to forget one's roots. Just remind them. If the reminder is useless, there is no need to keep the ungrateful people.

The next day, Murong and his wife came to Magnolia Courtyard together early in the morning.

Yin Xia took the couple to the main hall and waited for them. After leaving them alone for half a quarter of an hour, Yan Muxi was helped out of the inner room by Yin Xia.

She sat down on the main chair and said lazily, "I'm tired from pregnancy. Sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."

Murong Feng bowed and said, "It's okay for us to wait a little longer. The young lady's health is very important."

Murong also agreed, "Yes, I just waited a little longer, it's okay."

Yan Muxi had a rough idea of ​​what was going on from the couple's completely different behaviors. Murong Feng had not yet forgotten his roots, and it was the Murong family who was restless.

During the waiting time, she asked Yinxia to observe the couple's performance in the inner room.

Murong Feng waited obediently, without showing any impatience, while Murong Shi twice suggested to come back at another time, obviously not wanting to be embarrassed by Yan Muxi. Moreover, the expression on Murong Shi's face when he spoke just now could not hide the dissatisfaction in his eyes at all.
