Tang Yan knew that if Su Muxi continued, she would say something rather impolite.

And she was willing to play the bad guy for Su Muxi.

The princess worked tirelessly and devoted herself to the task.

However, these people actually plotted to turn against the princess.

They're just taking advantage of the princess's soft heart and easygoing nature!

If she could, she would love to kill all these ungrateful people!

Looking at Tang Yan's sharp and sarcastic demeanor, Shao Jie's eyes revealed a look of doting affection.

Tang Yan mentioned him twice just now. Does this mean that Tang Yan has begun to accept him and no longer treats him as an outsider?

Thinking of this, Shao Jie suppressed the urge to smile and said loudly, "Miss Tang is right! If anyone doesn't want to live, say it now! This general is not as soft-hearted as Princess Yong'an. If anyone dares to continue causing trouble, they will die!"

Shao Hongzhuo couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Uncle and aunt really don't care about the occasion when they're showing affection!

After hearing Tang Yan's words, the people finally realized that they were not grateful to Su Muxi, but rather that they understood that 250,000 taels would be a considerable sum of money!

Because wealthy families don't need to divide the spoils, and families without any dead members don't need to divide the spoils either.

In this way, he would have at least a dozen taels of silver in his hands.

Most importantly, the soldiers of the Shuofeng Camp are right here. If they continue to cause trouble and really provoke that fierce General Shao, they might really lose their lives.

Moreover, they felt that what Tang Yan said made a lot of sense. Cao San had lost his family and was now disabled. He had no hope of living, so they certainly didn't want him to have a good life.

No one knows who started it, but someone actually punched Cao San.

As a result, this punch became the fuse, and anyone who harbored resentment would step forward and kick or punch Cao San a few times.

Su Muxi watched coldly, showing no intention of stopping them.

Until someone shouted, "Cao San is dead!"

Only then did everyone stop.

Su Muxi ignored him and shouted, "Everyone, disperse. Go back and think carefully about how to divide this money. Then just go to Magistrate Li."

The people hesitated and did not leave, after all, they had not seen any silver.

Seeing this, Shao Jie coldly surveyed the crowd and asked, "Would you like me to escort you away?"

Upon hearing this, the people finally left.

But the woman who had been holding the child earlier didn't leave.

"Your Highness, you just promised me one hundred taels of silver. You are the Princess of Yong'an, you can't go back on your word!"

The woman's eyes were filled with greed. Fearing that Su Muxi would change her mind, she secretly pinched the baby's leg again.

Hearing the baby's cries, Su Muxi sneered, "Don't worry, when it's time to divide the silver, you'll get one hundred taels. Just say it's what I promised you."

The woman was clearly not satisfied with this answer and wanted Su Muxi to give her the silver directly.

Seeing this, Tang Yan stepped forward and slapped the woman across the face. "The princess has already agreed to your request, what do you mean by not leaving?! If you find life difficult, I can send you on your way right now! As for this child, I can raise him for you!"

After saying that, he made a move to snatch the child away.

The woman hugged the child tightly and stepped back.

"I didn't mean anything by it. Since the Princess Consort agreed, I will trust her! Otherwise, even if I have to go to the capital, I will get this money back!"

Watching the woman run away, Bai Zhi stomped her feet in anger.

"Who is this person?! Talking like the princess owes her money!"

Tang Yan sneered, "She probably doesn't understand what those one hundred taels of silver mean to her!"

Bai Zhi asked curiously, "What does it mean?"

Tang Yan patiently said, "Think about it, if so many people are dividing up the silver, and that woman gets a hundred taels, the others will get less. So naturally, they won't be willing. If that woman is really left to raise a child alone, she might become the next Cao San."

"If that woman really gets one hundred taels of silver, and she's a woman with no men in her household, and everyone knows she has so much silver, what do you think her fate will be?"

Bai Zhi blinked and quickly realized what was going on.

People die for wealth, birds die for food; a house with so much silver will surely attract thieves.

If the thief only wanted money, the woman and child could survive. But if the thief was ruthless, the woman and child probably wouldn't make it.

After thinking it through, Bai Zhi felt no sympathy for the woman. "She deserved it! I just saw her pinch her own child! That child is really unlucky to have such a heartless mother!"

Su Muxi sighed silently in her heart.

The woman was raising a child alone, which suggests that her future life would be very difficult.

If the woman hadn't made such an exorbitant demand, she thought she would definitely have helped her.

But that woman shouldn't have been so greedy. The help others gave her was out of kindness, but she directly asked for one hundred taels, hoping that they would support her for the rest of her life!

When misfortune strikes, instead of trying to improve one's life, one blames others.

So, just as Bai Zhi said, if that woman really did encounter some misfortune afterward, then she deserved it!

Then Bai Zhi said, "Your Highness, your dowry is only 500,000 taels. Are you really going to give it all to these ungrateful and greedy commoners?"

The money that Tang Yan and Aunt Zhong used to buy medicine and grain on this trip was taken by Su Muxi from her dowry.

Ultimately, the undeserved disaster that befell Fukang County was indeed caused by the Su family. Whether it was to save Su Xing or to help the Su family restore their reputation, Su Muxi felt that this money should be spent.

However, she will not give back the 250,000 taels of silver she just promised to give to the disaster victims.

She has done everything she could; the rest is up to the accomplices to figure out.

After all, she wasn't the one who poisoned the people of Fukang County!

What do you think?

Su Muxi wanted to tease Bai Zhi, so she didn't immediately reveal what was on her mind.

After a moment of contemplation, Bai Zhi said with a serious expression, "I don't think the Princess Consort would do that."

Su Muxi raised an eyebrow in surprise.

Bai Zhi continued, "The current princess has changed. She is no longer blindly kind and only looks at the appearance of the person in front of her. She has become temperamental and resourceful. However, I think that the current princess has great kindness in her heart, which makes me admire her even more!"

Su Muxi blushed a little after Bai Zhi said that.

She was just a lowly female doctor before, and given her status, she naturally didn't encounter any major problems. Even if she did, she wouldn't have the ability to solve them.

Now that she has become the Princess of Yong'an, the things she encounters are naturally more significant than before, so there's nothing particularly good about it.

However, Bai Zhi was right about one thing: she would no longer be so kind as to judge people solely by their appearance.
