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

Yan Muxi frowned and pretended to be angry, "Grandpa, don't damage my image in front of the younger generation. I was very likable when I was young, so I was not hated by dogs!"

"Yes, yes, I'm not disliked by the dog. It's just that I talk too much and am a bit annoying." Qian Chongguang curled his lips and smiled.

"Grandpa, I'm already a mother, why don't you save face?"

"Hahaha……"

The room was filled with joy and everyone had a bright smile on their face.

Yan Muxi looked at Kang Kang in his arms. The little guy had his eyes wide open, but still had no expression.

They are obviously twins, a boy and a girl, who were born only half a quarter of an hour apart. The elder sister is lively and smart, but the younger brother is like a little fool.

Although the old doctor Lin has confirmed several times that Kang Kang is not a fool, Yan Muxi is still worried that his son's brain is not working well.

I hope she is overthinking it and her son is not stupid, he just has a deep personality.

Before going to bed at night, Qiuzhu handed a box to Yan Muxi, which contained most of Yan Muxi's wealth.

Qiuzhu had always been in charge of Yan Muxi's property. Ever since she was neglected by Yu Wantai, she began to liquidate the farms, shops and jewelry in her hands. Silver and precious jewelry were easy to transfer, but farms and shops were not easy to sell.

In the past year, Qiuzhu has sold all her shops and farms and exchanged them for silver and money, which she put in a box.

The silver and money in the box, together with what Yan Muxi had transferred away before, totaled nearly 10 million taels of silver, which also included the profits from the Colosseum that Yu Wantai gave her.

Seeing Yan Muxi's eyes lowered and she kept silent, Qiuzhu thought she was complaining about the small amount of money, so she whispered, "The old master still has a lot of money! Not to mention the young lady, the young lady and the young master can spend it all in several lifetimes!"

"You have to know how to spend your money. Even if you have a lot of money, there will always be a time when it is not enough."

Qiu Zhu heard the hidden meaning in Yan Muxi's words and asked in confusion, "Could it be that Miss has other plans?"

Yan Muxi did not deny it. "I do have other plans, but I haven't decided yet. I'll tell you in detail later!"

"Young lady, young master and young lady have finally settled down, why do they want to take risks?"

Qiuzhu really didn't understand what her young lady was thinking. They had always wanted to live a relaxed life without the restraint of shackles, and now that it had finally come true, there was no reason to go back and wade into the muddy water.

"Safety?" Yan Muxi laughed to himself, "The safety and security we have now is only temporary. Who knows, it might be taken away from us someday."

No matter whether Emperor Yuanjing is in power or Yu Jinzhou is in power, she has to hide like a thief and never show up. In the future, An An and Kang Kang will have to be like her. It would be great if she could hide for the rest of her life, but the terrible thing is that she cannot.

If you want eternal peace, you still have to struggle. At least you have to be able to protect yourself when you are bullied and suppressed.

After the Lantern Festival, everyone except Qian Chongguang, who enjoyed playing with his grandchildren, began a busy year.

Yan Muxi hired a teacher from the city to teach Ci Sui, Xin Chao and others to read and write, while Dong Yu and Shun Zi were responsible for teaching them Kung Fu.

Qiuzhu and Yinxia helped Yan Muxi look after the baby, while Yan Muxi followed the little secret guards to practice martial arts.

It is said to be learning martial arts, but in fact it is just stretching arms and kicking legs to keep fit. Yan Muxi also tried to learn martial arts when he was young, but his bones were too poor, and he finally gave up after dislocating his arms several times.

Now that I’m old, it’s impossible for me to develop any great skills. I just hope that when I encounter danger, I can save my life and run fast enough.

That day, while Qian Chongguang was playing with the children, Yan Muxi told him about a plan she had been thinking about for a long time.

After listening to this, Qian Chongguang nodded in agreement. "Regulating the vendors on the island and establishing formal large-scale workshops will benefit the people. Xixi, if you are willing to do it, go ahead. If you are short of money, tell Grandpa. A lean camel is bigger than a horse. Grandpa still has a lot of money, enough for you to do it!"

"Grandpa, I'm serious." Yan Muxi said helplessly.

Grandpa's attitude clearly showed that he treated her actions as a child's game and he didn't think about the intricacies involved at all.

Due to geological and climatic reasons, food crops grown on the island are not abundant and farmers do not have to pay food taxes.

The City Lord's Mansion was able to have a large number of servants, and Murong Feng and his wife lived a luxurious life with fine clothes and delicious food, mainly relying on commercial taxes and tributes from the merchants below. Over the years, an inherent system of rules and regulations had been formed.

If she regulates the vendors on the island, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the Murong family, and then the other party will definitely jump out to make trouble. However, in order to facilitate future actions, she must remove the roadblock first.

Yan Muxi was just about to explain the reason to her grandfather when the gatekeeper came in to report that a guest had come to visit the old man.

After finding out that the visitor was a merchant from Huacheng, Yan Muxi also followed him to the front yard.

When the grandfather and grandson arrived at the main hall in the front yard, Murong Feng was talking to a man in his forties.

The man's surname was Qin. He used to be a clerk in the county government and was known as Qin Wenshu. He was also the one who was rescued by Qian Chongguang when he was in trouble.

After greeting and sitting down, Yan Muxi looked at Murong Feng, "City Lord Murong, you can go and do whatever you want. Grandpa and I will be here."

Qian Chongguang didn't understand what Yan Muxi meant for a moment, but he didn't refute it.

It was obvious that Murong Feng was trying to get rid of them, but he didn't seem to understand. "I have nothing to do, so I'll stay and talk to my son!"

Yan Muxi smiled and said, "My grandpa and Qin Wenshu haven't seen each other for a long time. They have some private conversations about the past that cannot be shared with others."

Having said that, no matter how thick-skinned Murong Cheng was, he couldn't stay and just bowed and said goodbye and left the house.

Qian Chongguang and Qin Wenshu were not very familiar with each other except for the fact that Qin Wenshu saved his life. Qin Wenshu rashly went to the City Lord's Mansion just to go through the motions of thanking him for his kindness.

After the polite words, Yan Muxi asked Qin Wenshu, "I heard that Qin Wenshu's workshop is quite big, and the annual income is not bad!"

Qin Wenshu said truthfully: "It's just to support the family. At least we don't have to worry about food and clothing, and our life is relatively rich."

"Qin Wenshu is too modest. The shipment volume of your workshop ranks among the best in Huacheng. How can the money you earn just be enough to support your family? Is there some hidden secret?" Yan Muxi suddenly looked outside the door. "Who's outside?"

After a while, an old woman came in through the curtain, and knelt down at the door trembling with fear. "I didn't mean it. I was just cleaning outside, and I didn't mean to eavesdrop on your conversation." This statement was tantamount to confessing one's mistake.

But! Yan Muxi didn't intend to punish him on the spot, and pretended to be displeased and scolded, "Can't you see there are guests? You don't even have the slightest bit of respect. Why don't you get out of here!"

The old woman kowtowed and crawled out of the house.

Not far away in the Sakura Garden, Mrs. Murong saw Murong Feng coming in and asked in dissatisfaction, "Why did my husband come back so soon? Zhenrong, that Qin and Mr. Qian are talking nonsense. Do we still have a chance to survive?"

Murong Feng took Murong's hand and said gently, "Madam, don't worry too much. We just increased the existing commercial tax by half. Mr. Qian is kind and will only reprimand her when he finds out. He won't be too harsh."

Murong shook off her grasping hand, "What if, what if the Qian wants to take away your position as city lord, will you shrink in your shell and continue to endure it? We, the Murong family, are the masters of this Flower Island. Why should we be manipulated and oppressed by others?"
