After being exiled with her husband and children, she returned with great power to rule the world

Without the pursuit of the Shenyue Hero Couple, Murong Ling'er and her group were like birds escaping from a cage, and soon arrived at the post station outside Haicheng.

The anxiety I had felt along the way was finally relieved after I stepped into this relatively safe place.

After not seeing each other for several months, the two groups formed a sharp contrast. One group was in a miserable state, not only were their clothes ragged, but their faces were full of fatigue and weathering, as if they had experienced the most cruel ordeal in the world.

Murong Ling'er, on the other hand, was plump and fair, looked energetic, with neat hair and clean clothes.

This strong contrast instantly made the atmosphere extremely awkward, as if a thick layer of frost was spreading between the two.

"cough!"

Chifeng coughed lightly, the sound seemed particularly abrupt in the silence, breaking the suffocating silence. Under the gazes of all kinds of surprise, jealousy, envy and doubt, he walked towards the officials' room with his head held high.

Every step felt like walking on cotton, empty and heavy, because those gazes were like sharp blades, stabbing straight at him.

Murong Ling'er asked for a room upstairs as usual and took Murong Chen straight upstairs!

She moved lightly and walked gracefully, but she could feel the complicated gazes behind her, like thorns in her back. However, her expression did not change, and she still maintained her nobility and composure, as if nothing in the world could disturb her mood.

The rest of the people were short of money and had to share a room with others.

This time, neither Huo Shuixian nor Chu Yinyin uttered a word of complaint.

Huo Shuixian pursed her lips, a hint of uneasiness flashed in her eyes. She quietly looked at the people around her who had different expressions.

Chu Yinyin lowered her head, her fingers unconsciously twisting the corners of her clothes, her heart full of anxiety.

Of course, it was not that Huo Shuixian had a change of heart, but she was afraid of being targeted by others. After all, not all people in this group were good people. There were many who were jealous of them. Those jealous eyes seemed to contain ferocious beasts, ready to pounce on them and tear them to pieces at any time.

Even the way the officers looked at them just now was a little strange, mixed with greed, jealousy and a hint of subtle malice.

None of them were stupid. If they continued to make trouble at this moment, and someone took the opportunity to cause trouble, they would not end up well.

As soon as he entered the room, Murong Chen breathed a sigh of relief. The uneasy feeling he had just felt was truly unsettling. He sat down on a chair, patted his chest, and muttered, "I was so scared! Those eyes looked like they wanted to eat us up."

He really couldn't understand how these people could change so much in just a few months.

His mother had really done these people a favor in the past, but the looks they gave them just now were really unfriendly.

That look was like a shadow in the darkness, constantly circling in his mind, causing an inexplicable chill to surge in his heart.

"Mom, I'm a little worried." Murong Chen frowned, his little hands clenched into fists, and the uneasy emotion flooded his heart like a surging tide.

"Don't be afraid, with mother here, they dare not do anything wrong." Murong Ling'er gently embraced Murong Chen in her arms, her eyes full of determination, like a towering mountain, giving people an endless sense of security.

Murong Ling'er knew in her heart that their special treatment would inevitably cause dissatisfaction among others.

She noticed the looks of those people and knew the reasons for their imbalance.

Although they were all exiled, their fates were so different. The Huo and Chu families, as serious criminals, actually lived better than anyone else during their exile.

Along the way, the Huo and Chu families seemed to be blessed by fate. They had no deep bloodstains left by heavy shackles, nor had they been whipped by officials.

Not only that, they were even able to move freely in the team and occasionally joke with each other. Their relaxed appearance was incompatible with the depressing atmosphere around them.

The officials treated them like distinguished guests from afar, without scolding or beating them. Their attitude was completely different from that towards other exiles. It can be said that they did not live like exiles at all, but more like a group of free travelers who had accidentally strayed into the exile group.

However, Murong Ling'er knew that not everyone was dissatisfied with them. Most people were reasonable. Those kind-hearted people could see the efforts they made silently behind the scenes and understood that they were using their wisdom and courage to buy everyone a chance to breathe.

However, there are always some people who are blinded by the haze of jealousy, like lonely souls lost in the darkness, who only see the superficial injustice but ignore the hardships behind it.

Thinking of this, Murong Ling'er continued, "While you have some free time now, why not gather all your little playmates together for a get-together? Even in these hard times, we need some warm moments. Don't let this cruel reality turn people's hearts into ice."

As he was speaking, there was a knock on the door. The knock was hesitant and cautious, as if testing the reaction of those in the house.

"Sister Murong, Boss, can we come in?"

Outside the door stood a row of skinny children, their clothes were tattered, patched up like leaves trembling in the wind, their little faces were dirty, only their eyes still shone with a lively light, but at this moment, their eyes were full of uneasiness.

They hadn't seen each other for several months, and their hearts were as nervous as a little rabbit in their chests. They didn't know whether their godmother's attitude towards them would change after going through so much.

What they experienced in the past few months was like a nightmare, making them fragile and sensitive.

Several people looked at each other, the uneasiness in their eyes seemed to be contagious, their knuckles turned white from the force of holding each other's hands, their lips trembled slightly, but they didn't dare to make too much sound.

"Great! You're here. I was thinking of looking for you!" Murong Chen opened the door with a smile on his face. That smile was like the sunshine penetrating the dark clouds, instantly illuminating the children's dark world.

His eyes were full of surprise, and he thought what a coincidence. He was just about to call them over, but he didn't expect that they would come over as if they had heard the call from his heart. This wonderful tacit understanding made him feel warm in his heart.

"Boss!" Lin Dong jumped in like a cannonball and gave Murong Chen a big hug. His arms tightly wrapped around Murong Chen, with such strength that it seemed as if he wanted to incorporate all the longing he had felt in the past few months into it.

His eyes sparkled with tears of excitement, and his voice was filled with tears: "Boss, I thought I would never see you again. Those days were so hard to endure."

"Boss! It's great to see you!"

The others also looked at Murong Chen with smiles. Their smiles contained the joy of reunion after a long separation, the nostalgia for the good old days, and the peace of mind of finding support in the midst of suffering. Their eyes were full of anticipation, as if they had seen a ray of light in the darkness, and they longed to get comfort and strength from Murong Chen.

"Come in quickly, don't stand outside. I brought you some delicious food."

Murong Chen greeted his friends warmly. He really cared about these people. Today at the market, he carefully selected each item, and all that came to his mind were the cute faces of his friends.

He spent most of the money on preparing things for his friends, keeping only a very small portion for himself.

Those packages contained sweet pastries, fresh fruits, and some small toys, each of which was filled with his love.

When the children heard this, they instantly became excited, their eyes widened as big as bells, and there was a glint of surprise in their eyes.

The light was like the brightest star in the night sky, dispelling the haze on their faces.
