Life went on as they returned to Mo Yujian's Wind Residence. While they were away, the whole Undead Empire had been turned upside down. Mo Yujian's father, Mo Shengnian, who had been confirmed to be secretly doing money laundering for years and abused his authority to add more taxes, suddenly got The Emperor's leniency and could take his authority back without much difficulty.
Mo Yujian's half-brothers, Mo Yuting and Mo Yunan also got the same treatment. Even though they didn't come out of the detention, news spread throughout the Empire that the Emperor had been especially lenient, if not for being imprisoned, then they could be said to be treated as guests under house arrest.
The citizens who had been waiting for the Mo Family's downfall were confused and indignant.
