She found that children rarely scolded her, but just laughed at the scars on her face. Not many people cursed her for wanting to atone for her sins before dying.

Mu Jinan thought that this was already very lucky, and she suddenly felt that she could live a few more years.

Mu Ruan would never let her down when it came to money. He would give her a lot of silver every day so that she could count the gold for fun in the house.

As time went by, she could occasionally wear a veil and go out on the street, but she mostly sat in a carriage.

When Mu Jinan saw poor homeless children on the street, she would lend a helping hand and rent a house for them. Seeing that she was generous, others would not ask her about her background and would just let the children live in the house as long as she could make money.

Xuyang, Cha Heng and others were the beggars she rescued on the street. Mu Jinan also gave Cha Heng and others a lot of gold.

Mu Jinan was only eight years old at that time, a young girl. She sat in the yard watching the rooster and hen fight. She stood on a higher stool, with her hands on her waist, looking at the few people with dignity, and quickly summed up the truth:

"Roosters are strong and can fight. Hens are weak but can lay eggs. They are both useful. In troubled times, for us homeless children, all we want is to eat two eggs to fill our stomachs. So you have to learn to lay eggs for yourself!"

"If you have wine today, you can get drunk today. If you have chickens and ducks tomorrow, you are rich. Poor children should be independent early. Hard-working children should start their own careers early. Children no one wants should make plans. Being a slave or a beggar was your fate in the past. You should make plans for yourself when you grow up."

"It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. The money I give you is enough for you to go to school and have food and clothing. You can learn a craft, make a living as a businessman, or learn martial arts to protect yourself. Don't be lazy, and don't think of relying on others."

"You can raise these lambs, rabbits, and hens, and breed them, or you can slaughter them for meat during the New Year."

"You were originally called Goudan, Sangouzi, Muzhuangzi, and Xiaoyu. These names don't sound nice. I will name you Chaheng, Hanzhu, Shuangsong, Xuemei, Tingfeng, Guanyu, Suwu, Podong, and Xuyang... all of you have the same surname as me, Mu! You are mine!"

Cha Heng is a few years older than Mu Jinan. It was the first time he saw a little girl with such courage. At that time, Mu Jinan liked to wear white clothes. She said she was wearing mourning clothes for the soldiers who died in the battle.

She was dressed in flowing white, and she looked as cold and kind as the fairy in the New Year paintings that Cha Heng saw on the street.

Cha Heng immediately knelt down and said, "Yes, young master, we will live up to your expectations. When we return after completing our studies, we will be part of the Mu family army!"

The children, like playing house, bowed down at the feet of the little girl who gave them gold, clothes and mutton.

They looked at the sun, which was brighter than the red stars, under the scorching sun and said, "Yes, little master!"

Cha Heng was an ambitious person, and he began to use the money to invest in himself.

He wanted to become Mu Jinan's trusted confidant rather than a servant of Nangong Mansion, so he went to the escort agency to learn martial arts and to the academy to study.

Cha Heng also became a skilled painter and a businessman who was good at making money.

In order to avoid encountering the killer, Mu Jinan would occasionally visit them. She bought them clothes and delicious cakes, and all the children were looking forward to Mu Jinan's appearance.

In the chaotic world of war, children began to learn to live like adults.

Spy Shadow is a relatively sensible person. She listens to what her uncle says and she thinks Mu Jinan is a kind person.

Later she heard that her uncle had died on the front line, and she wanted to avenge her uncle and parents.

The spy asked Mu Jinan: "My uncle and parents died at the hands of Tu Helue, how can I take revenge?"

After experiencing the people scolding her, Mu Jinan understood a simple truth:

"We are children. We are no match for them in both wisdom and strength. If you seek revenge now, it will be like hitting a rock with an egg."

"Don't panic, don't be angry and rash in revenge. If the strong rooster is injured, won't the hen have a chance to turn the tables?"

"You have to make yourself stronger. You have to disappear from their sight first, make them think you are a coward, let them relax their guard, and then lurk around to gain their trust."

"The Platinum Nation has invaded our Great Sheng. In the future, they may form an alliance with other countries to attack us. We must be prepared for the danger before it happens."

"Yuhe couldn't beat my father, so he kidnapped me. We can't beat Tuhelue, but we can kill her daughter!"

"Revenge only counts who wins and who loses, the means used are not important! You should take revenge on the weakest root first!"

"When you have the same power and status as them, the killing knife will be the Yama Knife. They can only follow Yama. Then you can kill the King of Platinum."

At that time, Spy Shadow had just fallen from a rich lady into a quagmire. Although she was a few years older than Mu Jinan, she was not as mature as Mu Jinan, who had experienced many dangerous situations.

Spy Shadow didn't understand what he said, but she vaguely felt that Mu Jinan was right, so she nodded in a flattering manner:

"Yes, young master, I will listen to you. After the sixth day of the first lunar month, you will come and eat mutton with us."

Mu Jinan felt that the children all treated her as a relative, which was why they asked her to celebrate the New Year with them.

She and these children all shared the same suffering, and if they spent the New Year together, it would be more lively, so she agreed:

"Okay, I won't break my promise."

In the first month of the year, Mu Jinan came to the house through the tunnel and had dinner with them, but she always wore a veil.

A naughty little boy saw her eating mutton and lifting her veil to feed her mouth. He tore off Mu Jinan's veil, and the ferocious scar was wrapped around his frightened pupils like the evil spirits from hell he had heard of.

Xuyang fell to the ground, his hands shaking, and cried out in fear, "Ah, a monster."

When the other children saw Mu Jinan's face, they didn't dare to eat anymore. They hurriedly ran out of the house and hid behind the snowman to watch her secretly.

The leg of lamb in Mu Jinan's hand fell to the ground with the word "monster". Her self-esteem was shattered in the midst of joy, and her warm kindness was killed by the frost and snow.

They ate her food and spent her money, but just because of a few scars, they hated her?

The first time Cha Heng saw Mu Jinan's true face, he was a little scared, but more distressed. He covered Mu Jinan's face:

"My young master, these scars have faded a lot and will heal. It's Xuyang's fault. Don't be sad."

Spy Shadow went out, grabbed Xuyang from behind the snowman, and hit him in the face:

"You ungrateful little thing, have you forgotten that you snatched food from a dog on the road? Without your little master, you would have frozen to death and starved to death. How can you still curse me here?"

"My little mistress is the most beautiful woman in the world. If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will cut off your tongue!"

The surging protection was like a sharp blade that kept cutting Mu Jinan's dignity, and the heart-wrenching evil words pulled Mu Jinan's compassion into despair.

She knew that the people would never forgive her, that her sins had long been nailed to the head, and that she would never have any true friends or confidants.

Her lonely figure completely disappeared in trust.

Later, Xuyang realized that he was wrong and wanted to apologize to Mu Jinan. First, he heard that Mu Jinan was sick, then he heard that she didn't want to go out, and then he heard that she fell into Jinhu Lake.
