Mu Wanting smiled and subtly withdrew her hand: "No need."
She helped them because she didn't want to see corpses everywhere, and she didn't expect any reward.
However, neither Magistrate Qian nor Ding Shiming were willing to give up.
The county magistrate sent a painter to post Mu Wanting's portrait on the bulletin board and explained the whole story of how everyone was saved from the flood.
To be honest, Mu Wanting thought Magistrate Qian looked like a muddle-headed and corrupt official, but to her surprise, he wasn't greedy for credit at all.
Then, Mu Wanting and Shen Xinglan were welcomed into the county government office and treated to a delicious meal by Magistrate Qian.

Mu Wanting smiled and said, "After a major disaster, there should be a major epidemic, but you handled it very well this time. Even the corpses were properly buried, so this hidden danger is gone."
Magistrate Qian glanced at Ding Shiming, his eyes filled with admiration.

After taking a bath, Mu Wanting was so tired that she fell asleep.
Shen Xinglan did not fall asleep after taking a bath. These past few days, he had been sleeping with Mu Wanting in his arms.
He couldn't sleep without her by his side.
