3724 City Lord Election

There would be an election for a new City Lord in three month’s time, and he was determined to win.

After Du Fan and Luo Yu took the keys, they went to the small house in the center of the lake. The two of them went inside and took a look around. They saw that everything inside was well decorated, so all that was missing were servants and maids. Du Fan said to Luo Yu: “Master hasn’t arrived yet, let’s go to the slave market first and pick out a few servants and bring them back.”

“Yes, let’s do that.” Luo Yu responded and went to the slave market with him.

The small house in the middle of the lake had always been closed and no one had ever heard of staying there. Now that the door was open, and there were people organising things inside, everyone became curious.

Other than the two men making arrangements, they didn’t see anyone else arriving until evening the next day. A carriage pulled up slowly next to the main entrance of the small house in the middle of the lake. A group of men and women went inside but no one could see the faces of those people clearly.

“Master, what do you think of this place?” Du Fan asked Feng Jiu with a smile. Feng Jiu nodded and said with a smile: “It is very quiet and elegant, it’s quite good.”

“We went to the slave market yesterday and bought a few servants, as well as a cook for the kitchen. Everything has been arranged.” Du Fan looked at Feng Jiu and said: “Master, are you tired from your journey? I’ll take you to the main courtyard to rest first.”

“Mmm.”

Feng Jiu responded and followed Du Fan to the courtyard in the back. As they walked, she looked at the surroundings inside. The courtyards were lined with green trees and flowers were blooming. It was really beautiful. The courtyards, pavilions, rockeries and lakes were all beautiful.

At nightfall

“I heard someone has moved into the small house in the middle of the lake in the Southern District?” The Northern District City Lord asked his steward.

“Yes, the preparations were made yesterday and the people moved in today. But no one knows who those people are, no one has been able to find out.”

The steward replied. He was also secretly surprised. Their City Lord had discussed buying the small house in the middle of the lake from the Southern City Lord but he had refused to sell it. Why did it suddenly change hands? Who was so capable? Who was actually able to buy the small house in the middle of the lake?

“Oh? No one knows who lives there?” The Northern District City Lord said in surprise. He looked thoughtful, and then said: “Someone who can live there must not be ordinary people. I think there will be some movement in a little while. By that time, we will naturally know their background.”

At the same time, other people were also discussing the matter. But after hearing that no one was able to find out who those people were, they didn’t bother about the matter anymore. They felt that even if they didn’t know now, they would find out sooner or later. By then, naturally everyone would know.

However, what they hadn’t expected was that after Feng Jiu and the others had moved in, they lived in seclusion and kept a low profile. Gradually, everyone forgot that there were people living in the small house in the middle of the lake…

A few months later, Feng Jiu’s belly was getting bigger and bigger. Since this was her first pregnancy, and she was also pregnant with twins, she didn’t dare to just lie down and not move about. Instead, she would do simple exercises every morning and walk around the small house in the middle of the lake so that she would have an easier labour later on.

On this day, Leng Hua came to Feng Jiu, who was resting in the pavilion, and said: “Master, the five-year election for the City Lord has started today. Qi Kang has gone. He plans to take over the position of the Eastern District City Lord. Does Master want to go and have a look?”
