Bai Tuantuan watched as Bai Han interrogated Chen Yuping and Li Rufeng, while the surrounding crowd occasionally cheered.

After the verdict was handed down, the people wept with joy.

For a moment, Bai Tuantuan felt as if something had exploded in her mind.

Qingming Festival brings confusion.

“This is the meaning of being an official, isn’t it?” Bai Tuantuan suddenly said. “Being respected by the people is a small matter; the sense of accomplishment that comes from solving their problems is incomparable.”

Bai Tuantuan sighed softly: "Can't you just be a good official and live a peaceful life? Why do you have to embezzle and accept bribes? Why do you have to exploit the people?"

"Because we don't have enough money," the spoon couldn't help but say from inside the space.

"Human desires are limitless. No matter how much money you give them, they will always feel it's not enough, not enough, and still not enough! The same goes for power."

Upon hearing this, Bai Tuantuan fell silent.

That's true.

"What are you thinking about?" Ning Nanxiao walked over, raised an eyebrow at Bai Tuantuan's dejected appearance, "The corrupt official has been beheaded, what's wrong, not happy?"

"Not really." Bai Tuantuan raised her head and looked at Ning Nanxiao, suddenly thinking of the master.

As the shadow of Yama, he actually wields considerable power and possesses great strength, yet he also harbors a desire to replace Yama.

Therefore, whether in heaven or on earth, or anywhere else, there will always be such greedy people.

"Tuantuan." Chen Luo called out to Bai Tuantuan, "What are you standing there for? Let's go back."

Bai Tuantuan turned to look at Bai Han: "Where is Grandfather?"

"Your grandfather still has things to attend to, so Nanxiao is here with him. Are you going with your maternal grandfather?" Chen Luo asked.

Bai Tuantuan thought for a moment and slowly shook her head: "Grandfather, you go back first, I'll send Da Niu and the others away first."

“Very well.” Chen Luo nodded. “Grandfather, please escort the Emperor back first.”

After watching Chen Luo and the others leave, Bai Tuantuan came to the side of the old lady and Da Niu and Er Niu.

The three of them saw Bai Tuantuan and Ning Nanxiao and were about to kneel down when they were stopped by the two.

"Thank you, young master, thank you, young lady!" Da Niu wiped away his tears. "San Niu's innocence has finally been preserved, and she will be able to be reborn into a good family in the future."

"Yes, you can."

Bai Tuantuan chuckled softly: "San Niu is kind-hearted, she'll definitely be happy in her next life, no..."

Bai Tuantuan frowned, did some quick calculations, and then suddenly looked at Ning Nanxiao: "Is San Niu not in the Path of Rebirth?"

Ning Nanxiao nodded: "Yes, at home."

"What are you talking about?" the old woman asked, looking at the two of them with suspicion. "What is the Path to Rebirth? And where is San Niu?"

Da Niu tugged at the old woman's clothes: "Mom, don't talk."

Bai Tuantuan took out three copper coins, tossed them, and after looking at the display of the three coins, immediately said, "Let's go back to the village."

After everyone boarded the carriage, Bai Tuantuan explained, "After people die, they enter the path of rebirth, drink Meng Po soup, and are reincarnated. But I just calculated that San Niu is not in the path of rebirth."

"Miss...?"

The old woman stammered, staring incredulously at the white ball in front of her. What was she saying?

Da Niu reacted quickly and said, "Don't worry, young lady. We won't spread a single word of what you told us today. It's just that we'll have to trouble you with my sister's matter."

"It's alright." Bai Tuantuan smiled. "We've already figured out she's at home, so maybe you'll be able to see her again."

Upon hearing this, the three of them gasped.

The three knew that Bai Tuantuan was a member of the Bai family, but how could she be involved in such mysterious matters?

They soon arrived at the village, and to keep a low profile, they got off the carriage and went to the old woman's house.

“I didn’t find it when I came last time. Judging from this aura, it must have found its home in the last few days.” Bai Tuantuan reached out and used her spiritual power to close the door, then lit the oil lamp.

This series of actions made Erniu swallow hard: "Brother, does the girl know acrobatics like us?"

Da Niu rolled his eyes: "Why don't you give it a try?"

Erniu quickly shook his head, "I can't!"

Bai Tuantuan walked to a corner of the yard and asked in confusion, "Did San Niu grow these flowers?"

The old woman nodded hurriedly: "Yes, that child has loved flowers and plants since she was little, and she takes care of all these flowers and plants."

"No wonder."

Bai Tuantuan pointed at the three people—the old lady, Da Niu, and Er Niu—with her finger: "Now!"

As Bai Tuantuan's voice faded, a figure suddenly appeared!

"San Niu!"

"Girl!"

The three of them cried out at the same time. The old woman looked at the person in front of her in disbelief, her daughter who looked just like she did when she was alive, and she couldn't stop her tears: "San Niu!"

"Grandma, don't come any closer." Bai Tuantuan stopped the three women who were about to rush over and said slowly, "Your yang energy is too strong and will burn her soul."

"Time is short. You two chat for a while, then I have to send San Niu away."

San Niu never expected to see her relatives again. She wanted to cry but couldn't. She could only kneel on the ground and keep kowtowing to her aunt, saying, "Mother, your daughter is unfilial, your daughter is unfilial!"

"Good child, get up quickly. This has nothing to do with you. It's all the fault of that damned Master Lin. But now it's all over. They've all gotten their comeuppance. Your injustice has been cleared. In your next life, you'll be reborn into a good family!"

San Niu shook her head: "Mother, if there is a next life, I still want to be your daughter..."

Erniu was already crying his eyes out: "Little sister, you can't be Mother's daughter anymore. If you don't mind, then be my daughter!"

Bai Tuantuan almost spat out her water.

He forced a smile as he looked at Erniu.

San Niu couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Second brother, you don't even have a wife, yet you're already thinking about having a daughter. Aren't you ashamed!"

The atmosphere among them immediately became much more relaxed.

The group reminisced about happy times from the past, their laughter ringing out occasionally, a truly heartwarming sound.

Bai Tuantuan thought for a moment and went straight to the kitchen.

She summoned the ladle and the iron pot, revealing their true forms.

"Meng Po soup".

Ning Nanxiao leaned against the doorway, raising an eyebrow.

Bai Tuantuan nodded: "I want to try the new Meng Po soup that I've learned."

As the sun set and darkness fell completely.

The Meng Po soup in Bai Tuantuan's hand also appeared.

"There has been some progress." The spoon transformed into human form, took a bite, and frowned.

The iron pot also transformed into a human form, chuckled, and turned to look at Ning Nanxiao: "I can only rely on you now."

Bai Tuantuan looked at the two of them strangely: "What does my brewing of Meng Po soup have to do with him? Even though he is the King of Hell, he doesn't know how to do that!"

As she spoke, Bai Tuantuan took out the Meng Po soup and handed it to San Niu.

San Niu paused for a moment, glanced reluctantly at her loved ones, and drank the Meng Po soup in one gulp.

"Is it good?"

Bai Tuantuan looked at San Niu with anticipation.

San Niu laughed: "It tastes good, but it's missing one flavor."

Bai Tuantuan was puzzled. After watching San Niu disappear, she was still confused. What was missing?

"Alright, that's enough. At least no ghosts will drink your Meng Po soup and vomit uncontrollably anymore," the spoon in the space said with a smile.

The iron pot chimed in, "Well, at least no ghost will choose to go to hell to be punished rather than drink your Meng Po soup."

Bai Tuantuan: ……

Thank you, but I wasn't comforted at all!
