3252 Public Notice

Ever since the eldest branch of the Mu family paid that large compensation, life for everyone in their household, from masters to servants, became incredibly tight and difficult.

In the past, servants from the eldest branch would frequently receive generous rewards every few days.

Within the entire Mu family, the treatment of the servants in the eldest branch was, without a doubt, the best.

The patriarch and the first madam were known for their lavish spending.

Consequently, the servants of their eldest branch would walk with their heads held high and a confident stride whenever they moved about the Mu family estate.

However, ever since they gathered all that compensation and paid it to the Crown Princess,

The eldest branch's fortunes plummeted, never returning to their former state.

It was said that yesterday, the incredibly talented young master from the second branch returned home, and all the servants in the second branch were given meat and wine.

The monetary rewards were also substantial, with each person receiving anywhere from two to ten spirit coins.

This made the servants of the eldest branch incredibly envious.

Normally, others would envy their eldest branch, but now, the servants of the second and third branches, who wouldn't laugh at them directly, would secretly cover their mouths and snicker behind their backs.

Mo Lian smiled, taking his little wife's hand and leading her out. "They've already lost so many spirit coins and resources; how could they still have spare money to act like big spenders? Life naturally won't be easy."

"Hmph, for the old man's birthday this time, Mu Jingfeng definitely won't be able to offer a very good gift. That's why he's set his sights on us, wanting us to go home and boost their prestige."

Crown Prince Mo raised an eyebrow slightly, a faint smile playing on his lips, "What gift shall we give the old man?"

"We'll see then."

There were still about ten days until the old man's birthday, so what was the rush?

Crown Prince Mo smiled and nodded, "Hmm, then let's head back to the palace first."

The little one tugged at his sleeve. "Have the people sent to inquire about Jing Minyao returned yet?"

"Don't worry, I think they haven't returned to their clan territories yet. I'll ask again in a couple of days."

Qiaomu nodded, and thinking of the Pangu clan's treasure, she couldn't help but secretly calculate that she needed to find time to sneak into the Pangu clan's territory.

So, where would she find so much time to go back and bicker with the little people of the Mu family?

Before evening, Crown Prince Mo was invited to the Emperor's study to discuss important matters.

Soon after, Qiaomu received news that Zhang Heng, the Deputy Minister of Dali Temple, had achieved a great meritorious deed.

He and his team had killed two mutated corpse puppets in the cellar of a rice shop in the East Street market.

This incident had now spread throughout Longyan City, and everyone's expression changed when they talked about these monsters.

The Crown Prince then began to work diligently, instructing his subordinates to educate all the people of the capital about the dangers of the corpse puppets.

As soon as the official government notice was posted in the square, it caused a great uproar.

Fortunately, the Crown Prince had sent people to guard the public notice, specifically explaining to everyone that the risk of this corpse puppet disaster was currently still controllable.

Ignorance means that when danger arrives, you won't even know what's happening.

Since they now knew that the Mandate of Heaven was about to launch a large-scale operation, it was naturally necessary to widely spread awareness of its dangers, so that everyone would raise their vigilance.

Some well-informed families already knew about this matter, and now that they learned the court had issued a public notice, they were not surprised.

However, some ordinary common folk began to panic, living in constant dread.

But then they remembered that the current situation was still within the court's controllable range, which slightly calmed their unease.
