Su Muyao couldn't help but curse the bandit leader in her heart from beginning to end.

Meanwhile, those whose legs had been broken were slowly crawling back into the village.

One of the children was playing on the slope when he happened to see his uncles and elders slowly climbing back up from a distance.

She burst into tears immediately and then turned back to find her mother.

After the villagers received the news, they rushed down the slope.

Then they discovered their husbands climbing back.

Everyone carried their husbands home on their backs.

When these men saw the few people standing in the open space in the village, they all trembled.

Most of the men quickly pushed their wives away and then lay down on the ground.

He kept pleading with Su Muyao and the others, "We were really wrong. Please, everyone, forgive us and let our family members go."

"Yes, you look like righteous people, we really deserve to die."

Even if it costs us our lives, we just hope that you gentlemen won't involve innocent people.

By this time, the others in the village had a general idea of ​​what had happened.

Everyone knew perfectly well that their husbands and the other villagers had been beaten so badly because there must be someone among them who was skilled in martial arts.

At this moment, the villagers all knelt down on the ground.

They had long anticipated this day would come, and they had advised the man to stay away from this troublesome place.

But they had no money, no food, and nowhere to go, so things remained like this.

Su Muyao closed her eyes briefly as she looked at the children who had become so thin.

But he addressed these people, saying, "What you have done is a heinous crime."

Now that his legs have been broken, he will never be able to stand up again.

But you deserve what you got.

Logically speaking, I should send people like you to the authorities.

But with both legs broken, there was no point in sending them to the authorities.

I will let you off the hook, but even so I still have a few words to say. You risked your lives for the boss.

What you consider to be loyalty has no idea that they've hidden all those boxes of stuff away.

Look at your mothers, children, and wives—aren't they all skin and bones?

Anyone who is willing to go out and find a job can support their entire family.

They might even save some money for the children so they can go to school.

But look at what you've done! You've committed murder and robbery—aren't you afraid of the retribution that will fall on your own children?"

After Su Muyao finished speaking, the men burst into tears.

They never even had time to look at the things they brought back before their boss told them to keep them safe.

It was always the same, but when they asked their boss for some money, he always said he hadn't had time to replace the goods yet.

Year after year, each family was only given one or two taels of silver during the Lunar New Year.

You also have to plead poverty in front of them, saying that you have to support so many people in the village, and you can't make much money from selling those few things each time.

Looking back now, they really were foolish.

Just like the young girl in front of him said, he is a man who can support his family even if he has to do some manual labor.

And if you commit murder and robbery, don't the family members of those who were killed want revenge?

What will happen to my family and children then?

Su Muyao looked at these people with a regretful expression.

He couldn't help but nod. Since that was the case, there was no need for him to go through the trouble of sending these people to the authorities.

Just then, one of the men looked at his wife and children.

He said directly, "You should leave now. I should atone for the heinous things I have done."

Immediately afterwards, in front of everyone, the man slammed his head against a nearby rock.

The woman from that household quickly covered her child's eyes.

She cried uncontrollably.

Even if her husband had done many bad things, including murder, she was still grateful.

She knew he was a bad person, but he was still her husband, and he was very good to her and the children.

I simply can't bring myself to hate him.

The others stared blankly for a moment at the person who had already crashed into the rock.

But they had no reason to act as decisively as that person.

Su Muyao didn't care what the men were thinking. Instead, she waved her hand and took out a box of silver ingots from her spatial storage.

The bandit leader had stored all the treasures in his study into his spatial storage, so he took out a box of silver ingots from his storage space.

When the villagers saw the little girl in front of them suddenly raise her hand and a large box appear out of thin air, they all took a step back.

Immediately after everyone realized what was happening, they all knelt down and sincerely worshipped Su Muyao.

Su Muyao then spoke, "I am the eldest princess of Emperor Qingfeng."

Even the Grand Preceptor of the Great Dynasty was passing through this place when he saw them killing each other. As an official of the court, how could I stand idly by?

So they broke all their legs so that they would never be able to do such evil again.

But his family members were innocent; each was given one ingot of silver and told to leave and find another place to live.

Otherwise, sooner or later, those who seek revenge will come to this place.

Only then did those who knelt down realize that this was the lucky star of the great dynasty.

Two days ago, the emperor issued an edict to announce to the world that the young princess had been officially named the eldest princess.

Moreover, she was the only princess of their great dynasty.

I had heard before that the little princess was a deity descended to earth, and now that I see her extraordinary abilities, she truly is a deity descended to earth!

They didn't believe it at first, thinking it was just a rumor.

When the young princess told them to come forward and take the silver, they each took a silver ingot.

After seeing that they had taken almost all of it, Su Muyao turned and left.

Right after Su Muyao left, these women went to help their husbands leave this place of trouble.

But in order to have an explanation when their enemies came looking for them in the future, they all decided to stay and guard the village together.

Naturally, the family members were unwilling, even though their own children and husbands had already become quite a handful, they were still willing to serve them.

But these men were unwilling to burden their families, especially the princess who had given them a chance to survive.

Finally, after threatening their own family members, the men got them to leave.

Those others who had to leave their homes have already spoken.

If they were to be taken away, they would have no choice but to commit suicide, thus ending their lives with sin.

From then on, these men began their lives of crawling in this dilapidated village.
