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

The more Murong Feng thought about it, the more confused his mind became. After walking around the yard for a few times, he entered an ear room nearby.

The ear room shares a wall with the inner room, and one can vaguely hear voices from the inner room.

Murong Wan kept crying, and Murong Shi patiently persuaded her without getting tired of it.

After listening for a long time without finding anything unusual, Murong Feng was about to sigh when he heard Murong Wan angrily questioning, "Mother clearly said before that she would help me marry Mr. Qian as his co-wife, and also said that if I wanted to commit suicide, father would definitely help me. I did what mother said, so why can't I marry Mr. Qian?"

"Mother had thought that Mr. Qian was not young, and his first wife must be not young either, and you, Wan'er, were young and lively. If you could marry Mr. Qian as his second wife, you would have a good life in the future. But mother just learned that Mr. Qian was deeply in love with his first wife, and he could not tolerate other women in his heart and eyes, not even willing to take a concubine. If you, Wan'er, were to follow Mr. Qian by force, and you were far away from Huadao without the support of your mother's family, you would be bullied and tortured to death."

"Wow...but my daughter likes Mr. Qian and wants to marry him!"

"Wan'er, be good. Mother will definitely find you a husband better than Mr. Qian."

"Where can I find one? All the men on the island are like my father, dark and ugly. There is no husband as good as Mr. Qian..."

Dark and ugly? Murong Feng couldn't bear to listen any longer and left the room angrily.

If Yan Muxi knew that Murong Wan fell in love with her cousin because of his looks and skin color, she would definitely drag the silly girl who had never seen the world out of the well to take a look. When she saw that the streets of Dafeng were full of men of the same appearance, she would wonder if she could just take one.

Yan Muxi was not belittling her cousin. Qian Haochuan's appearance could only be considered above average, which was okay among ordinary people, but compared with the handsome young men, he was really not good enough.

Qian Haochuan left the island, and Yan Muxi saw him off all the way to the dock. Seeing the servants carrying two large boxes onto the boat, Qian Haochuan asked in confusion, "What's in the boxes?"

Yan Muxi explained: "This is a gift from me to my sister-in-law and my future nephew. I don't know when we will meet again, so I can only give the gift in advance."

"Why spend money like this? Jinling City is rich and has everything it needs." Qian Haochuan said in an angry tone.

"It didn't cost much money, they are all rare and pleasing things. Cousin, please say hello to my sister-in-law on my behalf!"

"I know. Your sister-in-law misses you too and is looking forward to seeing you all day long."

Qian Haochuan did not lie. Qin was an orphan who was rescued by the Qian family when she was dying on the streets. Because she looked somewhat like Yan Muxi when she was young, she pretended to be Yan Muxi for three years.

One is real, the other is fake. They both know each other but have never met. They are very curious about what the other looks like and want to meet each other.

After seeing Qian Haochuan off, Yan Muxi, who now had a merchant ship, began to busy herself with organizing the caravan's affairs. At the same time, the chess game she had set up was also coming to an end.

On this day, Murong Tian, ​​who had drunk a little wine, just staggered into the alley where his home was located, when a masked man suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Clan leader, be careful!"

Hearing the shout, Murong Tianxia instinctively dodged, and the dagger flashing with cold light passed by his side and cut his arm.

As the pain hit, Murong Tian's mind became clear. Seeing the masked man opposite stabbing him with a knife again, he hurriedly stepped back to avoid it. However, he was too frightened and fell to the ground with a thump after taking two steps back.

The masked man rushed too fast and failed to stop, so he fell down, and the dagger in his hand stabbed into Murong Tian's shoulder and neck.

"Ah~" Murong Tian screamed in pain, but his will to survive was still there. He was trembling with pain all over, but he still held tightly to the masked man who was pressing on him, and opened his mouth to bite the other's neck.

At this time, the two tribesmen who had reminded Murong Tian from behind had run up and together they clamped down on the masked thief.

Murong Tian's body and mouth were covered in blood. He collapsed to the ground as if exhausted, feeling grateful for having survived the calamity.

After he was thankful, he was angry. As the eldest son of the Murong family, he had been pampered by people around him since he was a child. When had he ever been bullied like this? He would never let go of the person who plotted to murder him.

When suddenly faced with an assassination attempt, Murong Tian's first reaction was that the Qian family wanted to murder him, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.

The man who killed him was once a soldier on Huadao Island. He made a mistake and was expelled from the barracks. Now he works as a porter at the dock. Apart from his agility, he doesn't know any kung fu.

There are many capable people around the Qian family. It would be easy for them to get rid of him. There is no reason to find someone who has no time to attack him.

Murong Tian’s wife was a noisy person. When she saw Murong Tian being carried back covered in blood, she started to yell, “…In broad daylight, someone actually dared to commit murder in the street. I’m going to find Murong Feng and ask him how he became the Lord of Huacheng when he couldn’t even protect his own brother…”

"Come back, it's still early. You won't find anyone even if you go. Ah Feng is not in the City Lord's Mansion." Murong Tian scolded his wife in pain.

"Then I will go find my sister-in-law. She is generous and kind, and will definitely not allow her family to be bullied."

When Murong Tian heard his wife mention Murong family, his mind, which was confused by the pain, suddenly became much clearer.

Ever since Miss Qian took over the position of island master, Murong refused to see him again. After being rejected the first two times, he believed Murong's excuses, but after it happened so many times, he couldn't help but become suspicious.

He suspected that Murong saw that he had been defeated and did not want to be associated with him anymore, so he wanted to cut off ties with him.

The two of them have been in collusion for many years and each has leverage over the other. They are all in the same boat and no one would be in a good situation if the boat capsizes.

But if one of the annoying grasshoppers dies, the other one might be able to take the helm and fight for a way to survive on its own.

If the people who assassinated him this time were not members of the Qian family, then it could only be the Murong family.

Murong Tian was injured in his arms, shoulders and neck, but apart from the horrific bleeding, the injuries were not fatal.

After he recovered the next day, he sent someone to the City Lord's Mansion to request a meeting with Murong.

Murong Shi had guessed that Murong Tian was being watched by the Qian family, so how could she risk meeting him? But she did not dare to anger Murong Tian at this time, so she sent her personal maid and Murong Wan to visit Murong's old house.

Murong Tian was like a frightened bird that had lost his mind. He did not believe a single word of what Murong asked the maid to convey. In order to force Murong, he left Murong Wan alone and said some half-truthful words to her.

Murong Wan was spoiled growing up, and she was simple-minded and could not hide anything. As soon as she returned home, she ran to question Murong, "My uncle said that I am his daughter, what is going on?"

Murong was shocked when she heard this and quickly closed the door and sent the servants away.

When only the mother and daughter were left in the room, Murong angrily scolded her daughter, "Wan'er, you are going to be a marriageable girl soon. You are already grown up, why don't you have any brains?"
