Mu Wanting said with difficulty, "There are too many people, and I don't have enough medicinal herbs... I guess we'll have to ask everyone to go and look for them together."
Finally, Ma Dazhuang impatiently ordered those who were still able to move to follow Mu Wanting to find medicinal herbs, while several officials kept watch.
It's still raining, so it's not easy for everyone to find herbs. Zhang Caiyun was cursing at Mu Wanting from the side.
"It's rare to have a heavy rain and not have to travel, but she had to go through all this trouble, and even specifically asked me to come and find herbs! Mu Wanting is really lacking in virtue."

Mu Wanting acted as if it were perfectly natural, showing no remorse whatsoever for being a convict. In the past, she would have undoubtedly been whipped by Ma Dazhuang.
But now...
Ma Dazhuang was still counting on Mu Wanting, so he swallowed his grievances and sent people to look for her again.
The wives of the first and second wives were conscripted again.
Zhang Caiyun cursed and was whipped a few more times before finally quieting down.
