It was almost noon when Murong Feng brought the craftsmen to Magnolia Garden.

"I thought City Lord Murong would not come today?" There was a little more sincerity in Yan Muxi's smile.

Shunzi had repeated to her the conversation between the Murong brothers. Murong Feng was able to fulfill his promise under the double pressure from his elder brother and his wife, so his character was trustworthy.

"How can I break my promise to my elder sister?" Murong Feng had a smile on his face, but his eyes were full of fatigue.

Yan Muxi didn't like procrastination, and she didn't have time to procrastinate, so she went straight to the point, "I heard that Chief Murong came to the City Lord's Mansion early in the morning to look for City Lord Murong. I wonder what he wanted to do?"

"It's just some trivial matters in the clan. Miss, please don't worry about it." Murong Feng tried to cover it up.

"Really? Why did I hear that Chief Murong also took a fancy to the piece of land outside the city that I chose?"

Facing Murong Feng's eyes widened in surprise, Yan Muxi curled her lips and smiled, "City Lord Murong, there is no need to be too surprised. I want to know what happened in the City Lord's Mansion. It's not difficult. In addition to what happened in the City Lord's Mansion, I also know a little about what happened outside. For example, about City Lord Murong and his wife, I wonder if City Lord Murong would be interested in finding out a little bit?"

Murong Feng suppressed his shock and was very curious about what Yan Muxi was talking about him and his wife. But no matter how curious he was, he couldn't ask directly.

After thinking for a while, he said, "I am a straightforward person. Miss Qian, you can speak frankly if you have anything to say."

Yan Muxi frowned, looking very embarrassed, "But I know this matter, it's not easy to say it directly, let's talk about it in a roundabout way! City Lord Murong only has one wife, the City Lord's wife, and he must love her very much."

Murong Feng nodded without hesitation, "Yes, my wife is gentle and kind, and she worked hard to give birth to a daughter for me. I should love and respect her."

"Oh~ Can the City Lord's wife love and respect City Lord Murong as much as he does?" Yan Muxi tried her best to hide the embarrassment on her face.

It was only because she was thick-skinned enough to point out to the man's wife in person that she was cheating on him, otherwise she would not have been able to say it out loud.

Murong Feng nodded affirmatively.

His wife's eyes were full of love every time she looked at him. She had served him carefully and tenderly for many years. How could she not love him? But when she saw the teasing in Yan Muxi's eyes, her full confidence was inexplicably gone.

His heart skipped a beat. Could it be that his wife had done something to wrong him? The thought only lasted for a moment, and he immediately rejected the suspicion in his heart.

His wife was born as a concubine's daughter in an official family. She was not loved by her parents and elders since childhood, and developed a delicate, weak and timid character. Later, she experienced family changes and suffered inhuman torture physically and mentally, which made her character even more delicate and timid.

After they got married, the wife said more than once that he was her only support and that she would follow him, live or die, and would never be separated from him for the rest of her life.

How could he have doubts about a woman who loved him so wholeheartedly? It was simply wrong.

Just by looking at Murong Feng's expression, Yan Muxi had already guessed what he was thinking.

Some things can only be mentioned briefly and when there is a chance in the future, let him see with his own eyes how the green hat is put on and how green it is, so that he can give up completely.

"I have only been in Hua Island for a short time, and I still need City Lord Murong's help in setting up the workshop." Yan Muxi changed the subject.

Murong Feng cupped his hands and clasped his fists, "Miss, you are too polite. It is Murong Feng's duty to help you resolve your worries."

"Okay, then it's settled! I want to build the workshop before June, but time is tight. I hope City Lord Murong can get started as soon as possible. You can directly withdraw the money from my maid Qiuzhu. You don't need to report everything to me."

Murong Feng nodded in agreement.

After finishing the business, Yan Muxi said, "Miss Wan'er has come to Magnolia Garden twice before, but because my child is too young to be in contact with people outside the garden, I didn't let Miss Wan'er in. Now that the child is older, he is not as spoiled as before. Whenever Miss Wan'er wants to come and play with me, City Lord Murong doesn't have to restrict her."

Murong Feng was delighted to hear that Yan Muxi was willing to be close to his daughter, and quickly responded, "Okay, Wan'er will be so happy when she finds out!"

"I'm happy too. Miss Wan'er's personality and looks are not like City Lord Murong. She is very cute and lovely. She is really likable!" Yan Muxi praised without any sincerity.

But Murong Feng didn't detect her indifference or her hidden meaning at all. He left the house happily, and went to tell his wife and daughter the good news as soon as possible.

In the afternoon, Murong Wan hurried to Yulanyuan.

Yan Muxi did not let her go to the bedroom to contact the child, and ordered the servants to take her to the side hall.

Seeing Yan Muxi, Murong Wan raised her chin and said nothing. After all, the scene of their first meeting was not very friendly, and she didn't know what to say.

Following the basic etiquette of hospitality, Yan Muxi was the first to greet him, "I haven't seen you for a few days. Miss Wan'er has grown a lot and is getting prettier."

"Of course, I will definitely get more beautiful as I grow older." Murong Wan said arrogantly. She wanted to suppress the envy in her eyes, but she couldn't.

How could there be such a beautiful woman in the world? She was beautiful in every way, even prettier than the woman in the painting.

Yan Muxi was also curious about Murong Wan's purpose in running into her yard several times, as she was spoiled and arrogant.

She was about to speak to test the waters, but Murong Wan twisted the handkerchief in her hand and spoke first, "I heard that you are Brother Qian's cousin. Do you have any news about Brother Qian? How is he doing recently?" She looked shy.

Brother Qian? Yan Muxi was stunned for a few seconds before realizing that the Brother Qian mentioned by Murong Wan might be cousin Haochuan.

Grandpa didn't want too many people to know about the existence of Hua Island, so the merchant ships going to and from Hua Island had always been managed by Manager Wu. Later, as the population of Hua Island increased and the demand for food and cloth also increased, Qian Haochuan would occasionally lead merchant ships to Hua Island.

Afraid of making a mistake, Yan Muxi still confirmed it, "The brother Qian that Miss Wan'er mentioned is my cousin Haochuan?"

Murong Wan raised her chin and said dissatisfiedly: "Why is it your cousin Haochuan? You are just cousins, and your last name is not Qian, so Brother Qian is not from your family."

Yan Muxi: “…”

I really want to say, if my cousin is not from my family, how can he be yours?

After thinking about it, she decided to give up. She was already a mother and couldn't argue with a child.

So he said, "My cousin is not from my family, but from my sister-in-law's family. This time, I am not wrong, am I?"

Qian Haochuan got married last year. His wife also comes from a merchant family. The couple has known each other since childhood and their friendship can be considered as childhood sweethearts.

"Nonsense, you lied to me!" Murong Wan suddenly stood up and pointed at Yan Muxi's nose.

"Why would I lie to you? Cousin Haochuan is almost thirty years old. If he hadn't been concerned about my sister-in-law's young age and waited a few more years, the two of them would have been married a long time ago... They grew up together as childhood sweethearts. Cousin Haochuan loves his sister-in-law so much that he promised to be together for the rest of their lives. Everyone else is envious...

Murong Wan ran out of Magnolia Garden crying, while Yan Muxi returned to the bedroom smiling.

Seeing An An joking with his grandpa, Yan Muxi's smile became even bigger.

She is not as cunning as her An Anxin! She dares to think about her cousin Haochuan. She will give Murong Wan a mirror one day so that she can see if she is worthy.

Seeing that Kang Kang was still asleep, Yan Muxi came close to her daughter and said, "An An, you're awake! Did you miss your mother?"

"Oh~Ah~" An An responded with a pout.

The mother and daughter's facial features are similar, and they look even more alike when they smile with their eyes curved.

Qian Chongguang's heart melted when he saw this, and he asked Yan Muxi with a smile, "Why are you so happy?"
