"I just bullied a kid and made him cry. That annoying kid cried so miserably!" Yan Muxi was full of pride.

Qian Chongguang liked to see her carefree and happy appearance, and couldn't help but laugh with her eyes closed, "You, you will always be a child who never grows up."

Yan Muxi glanced at him and said unhappily, "It's better if you don't grow up! You can be carefree all the time, but others have to worry about you."

Qian Chongguang heard the hidden meaning in Yan Muxi's words, put away the smile on his face, and said helplessly: "Is Lao Zhuang gossiping in front of you again?"

Lao Zhuangtou was an attendant of Qian Chongguang who had followed him for many years. Because his penis was damaged when he was young and he could not move, he never got married and had always been by Qian Chongguang's side to take care of him.

"What do you mean by gossip? Grandpa Zhuang was only telling the truth. Grandpa, you were worried and couldn't sleep the whole night. Could it be that you think you've been spending too much time with the three of us?" Yan Muxi asked with a frown.

Qian Chongguang sighed, "Grandpa is fine! He just had a bad dream a few days ago, so he has to worry for a few days. After a while, when the shadow of the dream fades, he will be able to eat and sleep well naturally."

"Grandpa is just worrying for nothing. He doesn't know what his own daughter is like! With mother's personality, she would only worry for a while even if the sky fell, and when she turns around and is comforted by others, she will forget everything about her dear daughter and dear father... As long as Yan Yongchen is fine, mother will be fine and nothing will happen to her. Grandpa, please don't waste your body anymore, okay~" Yan Muxi's tone was filled with helpless coquettishness.

Qian Chongguang had only one daughter in his life, Qian Manman. He treated her as the apple of his eye since she was a child. His love and concern for his daughter were engraved in his bones. He also wanted to let go, but unfortunately he couldn't do it at all.

Not wanting to talk about the heart-wrenching matter again, Qian Chongguang changed the subject, "Does Grandpa need to help with the Murong family's situation?"

If the ungrateful descendants of the Murong family want to pick up the bowl to eat, or put down the chopsticks to curse their mothers, they have to ask whether their parents who provide them with food and clothing agree.

Yan Muxi smiled indifferently, "It's just a small matter, it's not worth bothering Grandpa. Grandpa, just stay at home with An'an and Kangkang, and leave the outside to me. Your granddaughter is young, but she has experienced a lot, and she won't be bullied easily."

It seemed that Yan Muxi's big words were too early. She handed the task of building the workshop to Qiuzhu. In the afternoon, Qiuzhu went outside the city with Murong Feng to look at land, but was forcefully driven away by Murong Tian and his men. The two sides argued and almost got into a fight.

In the east wing study, Qiuzhu drank a large pot of cold tea before she calmed down her anger.

"Miss, you don't know how irritating they are. They insisted that the Murong family had long been eyeing that piece of land, and that we were rudely snatching away their livelihood. They also said that our Qian family wanted to monopolize the business on the island and didn't allow them to build ships and go out to sea. We treated them as slaves to make money..."

Yan Muxi waited for Qiu Zhu to finish speaking before asking in detail, "How many people did Murong Tian bring to cause trouble today? In addition to the Murong family, are there any outsiders on the island? What is their attitude towards Murong Feng?"

"There are probably about a hundred people, including young men and elderly people. I was afraid that things would get out of hand, so I held back and did not take action. These hundred people looked like the indigenous people of the island, and I couldn't tell whether there were outsiders or not. They followed Murong Tian's orders and were polite to Murong Feng, but they were far less respectful to Murong Tian." Qiu Zhu said truthfully.

Yan Muxi frowned and thought for a moment, then asked Yin Xia, "Where's Shunzi?"

Yin Xia shook her head, "Miss asked him to keep an eye on Murong Tian, ​​but he hasn't come back yet!"

Qiu Zhu thought for a moment, "When I came back just now, I heard Murong Tian shouting that he wanted to open the ancestral hall. Murong Feng didn't go back to the City Lord's Mansion. Maybe he went to the Murong Family Ancestral Hall for training."

Yan Muxi stood up and said, "Let's go and see what the Murong family's ancestral hall looks like."

The Murong family's ancestral hall was only separated from the city lord's mansion by a street. The master and his servants came out from the back door and walked for half a minute to the street where the ancestral hall was located.

The Murong family ancestral hall was not very big, and many clansmen gathered inside and outside the courtyard. Dong Yu stepped forward to clear the way, "Make way, everyone, make way!"

Everyone looked over when they heard the sound, and when they saw the girl in the lead, who was wearing a goose yellow dress, they all showed expressions of amazement.

Not to mention their facial features, most of the women on the island have dark or yellowish skin. When you suddenly see Yan Muxi, who has black hair, thin eyebrows, and skin as white as cream, you feel as if she is a fairy descending to earth.

Everyone made way for her until Yan Muxi stepped onto the steps of the ancestral hall. Someone then reminded her loudly, "The ancestral hall is an important place for the family. Women are not allowed to enter."

Yan Muxi paused, turned around and looked at the Murong clan members below her, and said calmly, "Since it is the clan rule, I will abide by it." She instructed Dong Yu, "Then please ask Murong City Lord and Murong Clan Chief to come out and talk!"

Dongyu was also a woman, so naturally she couldn't enter the ancestral hall. She took a deep breath and used some of her internal strength to shout loudly towards the door, "Murong Feng~Murong Tian~Miss ordered you to come out and talk."

His voice was already loud, and after using his internal energy, it became even louder, and could be heard within a two-mile radius.

Inside the ancestral hall, Murong Feng was being attacked by Murong Tian, ​​who accused Murong Feng of not distinguishing between relatives and strangers and of disregarding the interests of the family and Huadao to flatter outsiders.

Hearing the loud noise outside, Murong Tian shivered at the sound pressure and his accusations came to an abrupt end.

Murong Feng was the first to react and hurriedly stood up and walked out. Several elders of the Murong clan looked at each other and followed him out of the ancestral hall one after another.

"Miss." Murong Feng bowed.

Murong Tian, ​​who was following behind, saw Yan Muxi for the first time. His eyes suddenly widened and he was stunned.

He had only heard Murong say that the young lady of the Qian family was arrogant and looked down on others, and he never expected that she was such a stunning beauty.

"What are you looking at? If you dare to look again, I'll dig out your eyeballs and feed them to the dogs!" Dong Yu stood in front of Yan Muxi and glared at Murong Tian who was not far away.

When Murong Tian came to his senses, he realized that all the clansmen in the yard were staring at him, and his face turned red with embarrassment.

He pretended to be calm and glared at Dong Yu, "This is the important place of the Murong family's ancestral hall. A little servant is not allowed to act presumptuously."

Dong Yu sneered disdainfully, "He is clearly a pervert, and he won't let anyone say anything!"

"Dongyu, don't be rude to Patriarch Murong, please step back!" Following the clear and soft female voice, Dongyu stepped aside.

Yan Muxi smiled at Murong Tian and said, "My maid has been spoiled. I hope Patriarch Murong will not blame her."

Murong Tian was scolded by the maid in front of the whole family. He was furious, but when he saw the beautiful girl smiling sweetly in front of him, he could not vent his anger at all. He just said, "It's just a small matter. How can I blame you?"

"Patriarch Murong is indeed magnanimous." Yan Muxi put away the smile on his face and sighed softly.

"I want to build a workshop on the island. I'm sure everyone here has heard about it. Building a workshop to increase the income of Flower Island is a good thing that benefits both the people and ourselves. I didn't expect that the land I chose would collide with the Murong clan leader. Not only did some misunderstandings occur, but it also caused a dispute between the Murong clan leader and the Murong City Lord. Regardless of who came first or who was close, for the sake of everyone's harmony, I reluctantly gave up the land and gave it to the Murong clan leader."

Yan Muxi took the blueprint from Qiuzhu and said, "I have chosen another piece of land. Chief Murong, please take a look. Is this piece of land also something you value?"
