Returning to Lin'an

When Mu Yangling raised her eyebrows and left, many villagers were sending her off at the entrance of the village. At first, they hated Mu Yangling and felt that if not for them, their families might not have died.

However, after the village chief announced those compensation measures, they were grateful to Mu Yangling again. They felt that no matter what, she had not abandoned them. Instead, she had given them enough to allow their family to survive in this chaotic world. In addition, their family had voluntarily protected the Zhu family in the first place, so the last bit of resentment dissipated.

Mu Yangling left Chen Ming and his wife behind to distribute the annual pension and supervise the matters in the fields. In order to prevent corruption and bribery from happening, not only did Mu Yangling give Chen Ming a warning before she left, but she also announced a supervision measure.
