Chapter 33 Rescuing People, Winning Hearts



"Give him one pill every two hours until he wakes up."

Aunt Xu knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to Mu Wanting.

“Madam Mu, from now on you will be my and Brother Lu’s great benefactor. Our lives belong to you. We will do whatever you ask us to do.”

Mu Wanting's eyes lit up. This was the first person she had heard explicitly say that he wanted to pledge his loyalty to her since she was exiled.

Moreover, she could tell that Aunt Xu was not being insincere.

She helped Aunt Xu up and patted her hand.

"Auntie, please don't be so polite. We're all family."

Aunt Xu looked at her firmly and said, "I'm good at needlework and singing. I'll do my best whenever there's anything I can do to help you."

Mu Wanting grasped her hand in return.

"good."

Mu Wanting then checked for the next few people.

The injuries of the others were not as serious as those of Shen Yun'er and Shen Lu, and Mu Wanting treated them quickly.

This injury was fatal on the road to exile. Everyone was very grateful to Mu Wanting and genuinely wanted to help her with her work.

Mu Wanting accepted them all. In this treatment of her injuries, she gained a total of nine female farmhands and ten male farmhands.

The women are used for cooking, needlework, and knitting, while the men are used for rough work and making tools, which is exactly what they need right now!

Just as Mu Wanting was feeling happy, Zhang Caiyun lifted the carriage curtain and stormed in.

"Mu Wanting, I disagree with you asking the second wife's servants to do chores for you!"

Mu Wanting's eyes were filled with a faint mockery.

"In what capacity do you say this?"

Zhang Caiyun put her hands on her hips, her tone becoming a bit harsher.

"The mistress of the second wife!"

Mu Wanting couldn't help but laugh. The people she had saved earlier were also full of resentment. She looked at them.

"You come here to work for me, but can you be your own masters?"

They nodded: "Of course."

Zhang Caiyun was so angry she jumped up and down.

"All the people from the second wife's family are under my jurisdiction. You have no right to make your own decisions!"

Mu Wanting said, "Now everyone is a convict, there is no such thing as a mistress."

Zhang Caiyun retorted angrily, "Isn't it only natural that they eat my food, drink my water, and obey my orders?"

Aunt Xu was the first to lose her temper and started berating Zhang Caiyun.

"You shameless old hag, all the silver you have is from us. Isn't it your duty to provide us with food and lodging? Now it's all your credit."

Zhang Caiyun cursed and threatened to hit Aunt Xu, but Aunt Xu refused to give up and had been holding back for a long time, eager to teach Zhang Caiyun a lesson.

Su Yu lashed out at Zhang Caiyun with his whip, and Zhang Caiyun quieted down, glaring hatefully at Aunt Xu.

"Don't think you can rest easy just because you've found Mu Wanting as your backer. You'll starve to death if you follow her!"

Her eyes held a threatening glint.

“Xu Bifang, you can repent if you say something wrong, but you can never turn back if you follow the wrong person or go down the wrong path.”

Mu Wanting said, "You don't need to worry about that."

Just as Mu Wanting was about to leave, Zhang Caiyun's eyes darted around, and she suddenly changed her tune.

"Mu Wanting, it's not impossible for you to use someone from your second wife's side."

Mu Wanting waited to see what she would say.

Sure enough, Zhang Caiyun said.

"Fifty taels of silver per person per day, use it however you like."
