After exchanging a few pleasantries, Yan Muxi asked Murong Feng, "Is there any brokerage firm in the city that sells servants?"
"There is a pimping business in the city, but it only does hiring business, not buying and selling human beings. Miss, are you looking for a servant?"
Murong Feng felt something was wrong after asking this question. Miss Qian wanted to buy and sell servants right after she settled down in the City Lord's Mansion. Could it be that she was dissatisfied with the servants in the mansion for not doing their job seriously?
Yan Muxi added: "It's fine if you can hire me. I'm used to being served on weekdays. It's really not enough to have four servants serving in the yard."
Murong Feng frowned and hadn't reacted to Yan Muxi's words yet. Murong Shi spoke first, "We were worried that the young lady would not adapt to the new environment and that too many people would disturb her peace and quiet, so we didn't dare to send too many servants to Dingxiang Courtyard. We thought we would send more servants in two days. We didn't expect that the young lady would suffer injustice."
Yin Xia replied with a fake smile, "It turns out that my young lady misunderstood the good intentions of the City Lord's wife! But, before doing anything, the City Lord's wife should still ask others for their opinions first, instead of assuming it on her own. After all, others are not the worms in Madam Murong's stomach, and they don't know what Madam Murong is thinking."
These words left the Murong couple speechless. Murong's face turned red and white, and she managed to hold back her anger.
No matter how slow Murong Feng was, he realized that Yan Muxi and his servant were dissatisfied with their mistress's arrangement, which led to a misunderstanding.
Murong Feng was about to explain a few words on behalf of his wife, but Yan Muxi spoke again, "Madam City Lord, if you have nothing else to do, please leave first. I have something to discuss with City Lord Murong alone."
It was obvious that she was being ordered around like a servant. Murong stood there without moving, looking at Murong Feng with a look of grievance.
Murong Feng didn't dare to look her in the eye, and whispered, "Miss wants you to leave, so leave first!"
As if she couldn't believe what she heard, Murong opened her eyes wide in surprise, tears welling up in her eyes. She waited until Murong Feng looked at her before she turned around and left the room sadly.
Murong Feng followed Murong's back with his eyes, the heartache in his eyes almost overflowing.
Yan Muxi and Yin Xia looked at each other and saw amusement in each other's eyes.
Before Murong Feng could come back to his senses, Yan Muxi started to complain, "City Lord Murong is full of resentment. Is she blaming me for not doing the right thing?"
Murong Feng was startled and bowed to show his sincerity. "Young lady is the granddaughter of Mr. Qian, the benefactor of the Murong family and the whole Huadao. Murong Feng dare not question the young lady."
"It's not that I don't dare to question, right?" Yan Muxi paused, and then said, "If City Lord Murong feels that my personality is difficult to get along with, you can take your wife and daughter to find another place to live. I never like to force people."
Murong Feng was shocked, "What do you mean, young lady?"
"That's what City Lord Murong understood." Yan Muxi took the box beside him and took out the island owner's seal from it. "Grandpa has given Flower Island to me as a dowry. As the owner of Flower Island, I have the right to decide who lives in the City Lord's Mansion."
There was another half sentence she didn't say directly. Only the person who lives in the City Lord's Mansion is the City Lord of Huacheng. If Murong Feng was not stupid, he should know what to choose next.
With a thump, Murong Feng knelt on the ground. "I was blind and made a mistake. I will never do anything beyond the rules again."
"I hope City Lord Murong will keep his word. I hate troublesome people and troublesome things the most." Yan Muxi waved his hand and said, "Go down. I will ask someone to find City Lord Murong if I have something to say."
After Murong Feng left the yard, Yin Xia asked curiously, "Miss, do you think Murong Feng can control his wife and daughter?"
Yan Muxi curled her lips, "I think it's pretty bad. Let's just leave it like this for now. There are only three of us, so we shouldn't irritate me too much. Let's wait until the baby is born before we talk about it."
In the following days, Yinxia asked Shunzi to guard the yard tightly, and no one was allowed to enter except Doctor Lin.
Knowing that he would be turned away, Murong still came every day, and every time he came, he had a gloomy face, as if he had suffered a great injustice and was bullied.
Murong Wan had also come a few times. Perhaps because she was afraid of Yan Muxi's identity, the little girl changed her previous unruly and domineering appearance. She was not angry when being turned away, but became unusually docile and well-behaved.
Yan Muxi didn't ask or care about anything and just stayed in the yard to take care of her pregnancy.
After five months of pregnancy, her belly seemed to be filled with fairy air. It grew bigger every few days. Before the seventh month of pregnancy, she already had a big belly.
If there were any doubts about Dr. Lin's diagnosis before, they were all gone now, because she was indeed pregnant with two children.
When the Qian family's cargo ship docked every two weeks, Shunzi would go to inquire about the news in Dafeng.
The battle between Dafeng and North Vietnam remained stalemate. The North Vietnamese army failed to capture Dingzhou City and their troops were exhausted, so they retreated to Yancheng.
Yancheng is less than a hundred miles away from Dingzhou, and the two armies may go to war at any time, it is just a matter of time.
In the imperial city, the fourth prince was named Prince Xuan and his principal wife was the daughter of the Hua family. Not long after, Yu Jinzhou was also named Prince Shou and his principal wife was the daughter of the Minister of the Imperial Court and Horse Temple.
According to age arrangement, Yu Jinzhou is the elder brother, but it was the fourth prince who was granted marriage and crowned king first. Not to mention the meaning of the title, the identity of the queen who was granted marriage alone made a world of difference.
It goes without saying that the daughter of the Hua family is of noble status. The Minister of the Imperial Horse Temple was born into a poor family and has no family background. Moreover, he is only an official in charge of the horses in Dafeng, so he is of no help in the fight for the throne.
Just when the people were discussing that Prince Shou was out of favor and that Prince Xuan was gaining momentum and had a hope of competing for the crown prince position, an accident happened to the newly-elected Prince Xuan, a big one.
King Xuan was stabbed in the lung and had one of his arms cut off by a knife from Marquis Weiyuan. Although he survived with the concerted efforts of the Imperial Hospital, he was disabled.
Marquis Weiyuan attacked the prince in the street, but Emperor Yuanjing spared the three clans of his family because of his military merits. He only sentenced Marquis Weiyuan to immediate execution, stripped the title of Marquis of Weiyuan's mansion, demoted his family members and the sons of the family who had entered officialdom to the status of commoners, and confiscated the family's property.
When Yan Muxi heard the news, he sighed three times, "Ah~Ah~Ah~~~"
Another prince was killed. Now, besides the Crown Prince and Yu Jinzhou, there are only three princes left: the Fifth Prince, the Seventh Prince and the Eighth Prince.
The seventh and eighth princes are still little kids, the fifth prince has just turned sixteen, and his maternal uncle is a general stationed in the northern border. If he is right, the fifth prince will be the next to get into trouble.
When Yan Muxi was eight months pregnant, her belly was bigger than that of other people before giving birth. She had difficulty moving at first, and later she had difficulty breathing. She always felt like there was half a breath stuck in her chest and she couldn't breathe.
Doctor Lin said that there was a high chance that the twins would be born prematurely. While Yan Muxi was still able to move, she would ask Yinxia to support her as she walked around in circles in the yard every day, trying to make her body stronger and avoid a difficult delivery.
After Yan Muxi was nine months pregnant, Doctor Lin stopped allowing her to move too much, saying that bed rest could help the fetus stay in the mother's body longer.
Twins are not as big as single babies. Even if they are born full-term, they may be small and weak. The fetus needs to stay in the mother's body for a few more days so that it can be healthier and stronger after birth.
On the fifteenth day of the winter month, Yan Muxi started the operation half a month in advance.
When she woke up in the morning, she felt a slight tightening in her abdomen, and by noon, she could feel obvious contractions.
