In a year of natural disasters, the young woman had billions of resources to build a paradise.

"!!!"

Master Yuan was so frightened that he slumped onto the stool, clutching his chest for a moment before exclaiming, "A fairy is indeed a fairy, her magic is boundless!"

Otherwise, how could they make things disappear and reappear out of thin air, and then vanish themselves so easily!

Moreover, although the fairy was ruthless, she was genuinely working for the people. When she went to the manor, the first contract that the girl made him sign contained many clauses that gave him a chance to reflect and make amends!

She talked about things like investigation, remediation, punishment, and standardization, and at the time she even used the word 'cooperation'!

Unfortunately, he looked down on the little girl at the time and refused outright. If he had agreed then, Pei'er might have been able to stand up by now!

He secretly regretted it, but was also glad that he hadn't offended the person too badly, and that he still had a chance to make amends.

Thinking of this, he quickly ordered people to procure the supplies needed for the porridge distribution, and also sent people to various shops in the city to buy as much rice and grain as possible. He also started spreading the word that the weather was going to be extremely cold, and if people wanted to survive, they should dig cellars and hide in them...

All in all, he didn't even bother to glance at Yuan Pei.

Yuan Pei held the bowl of medicine, but something about the taste seemed off. "Take it away, I'm not drinking it."

"How can you not drink?"

Madam Yuan walked in from outside and said earnestly, "Pei'er, the antidote is taking too long to arrive. How can you not take this medicine to nourish your body? Your father will be worried if he finds out."

"Then I'll drink it later. Why did Mother come over in person?"

Yuan Pei lowered his eyes and handed the bowl to the servant beside him.

A hint of displeasure flashed in Madam Yuan's eyes. This boy won't even drink his medicine, how is he supposed to die?

She took the medicine bowl, scooped up a spoonful, and held it to his lips. "Pei'er, be good, drink it now."

"Snapped!"

Yuan Pei raised his hand and knocked the spoon away, scattering shards of porcelain all over the floor.

"I said I'd drink it later."

"Alright, alright, it's Mother who's worried."

Madam Yuan's hands, hidden in her sleeves, bulged with veins, and she managed a weak smile.

She turned and walked out, saying, "Then Pei'er, get some rest. I won't bother you any longer."

She walked along, tears streaming down her face, looking pitiful and as if she had been bullied.

The maids and servants couldn't help but whisper among themselves.

Yuan Pei was already used to it, a sneer flashing across her lips. "She's only a few years older than me, and she still has the nerve to call herself her mother? She even dared to feed me with her hands, she's shameless!"

But women are always like this, shameless!

He needed to be taught a harsh lesson... Suddenly, a face flashed into his mind, abruptly stopping the thought.

He suddenly pulled the blanket over his head, "Go see if my dad's back yet, and how that woman is doing!"

"Yes."

The servant responded and left. Yuan Pei waited for a while, then drifted off to sleep.

In his dream, he stood up. Although he couldn't run or jump, he was dressed in a brocade robe, and you couldn't tell that he had ever been disabled!

Jiang Mianmian was looking for prosthetics in the warehouse. While stockpiling supplies, she adhered to the principle of having more than less. She had actually taken advantage of her time while completing her nursing duties to learn about the installation and maintenance of prosthetics and stockpiled all kinds of prosthetics.

Now it's perfect for Yuan Pei and Shu Ling to use.

She found a suitable prosthetic limb and tools, and with more than ten copies of the confession, she went to the place where slaves were imprisoned in Taoyuan and found the dozen or so fat men and vegetable vendors.

"You've all written confessions. If you want to live, you have to listen to me, understand?"

These people were all the lowest-ranking slaves, and they were all locked in iron cages.

In the short time that followed, they had already seen how the slaves of the first and fourth teams worked. Those who were dissatisfied had been electrocuted and were now very obedient, saying, "We will listen to whatever the fairy says."

Jiang Mianmian was satisfied. "Once your families pay the ransom, I will release you. Once you are out, the first thing you must do is make amends for the evil deeds you have committed. Return what you stole from anyone, and compensate double the amount of rice and grain for anyone you harmed. If anyone comes to complain, I will immediately arrest you and bring you back. Do you understand?"

Everyone nodded in unison.

"Second, after doing all that, we'll start organizing people to distribute porridge..."

"Third, dig cellars..."

Logically speaking, these people should be killed.

But they are capable of amassing wealth to this extent, and they have many more useful subordinates. Rather than letting them die easily, it's better to squeeze their value dry first, save more people, and then die after everything is running smoothly!

As for Granny Cai and Bian Si, there's no need to keep them around. They can be dealt with by Magistrate Ye and his men later.

After dealing with these two groups of people, Jiang Mianmian returned to the Yuan family and instructed Master Yuan to post the confession. If any commoners added to the list of crimes, he was to record them and then settle accounts with the corresponding pregnant master.

"Alright, have Yuan Pei wait for me tomorrow morning."

While Master Yuan was out busy, she returned to Taoyuan to wash up, indulging herself by spending merit points to sleep in the courtyard for the night.

The next morning, I heard a series of whooshing and laughing sounds coming from outside.

She opened the courtyard gate and saw the black dog Tao Qizhe leading groups of residents on a morning run. "Good morning."

Good morning, my benefactor!

Good morning, Miss Mianmian!

Good morning, Sister Mianmian!

Good morning, fairy sister!

They shouted all sorts of things, but their smiles were all the same.

A gentle breeze blew, the air was fresh, and Jiang Mianmian was in a good mood. After washing up, she went to see Magistrate Ye and handed him the confessions of Aunt Cai and the others. "How should these people be sentenced? Executed immediately?"

Magistrate Ye examined it carefully, his face growing increasingly grim. "Truly despicable!"

"You decide the verdict: beheading or make them do hard labor digging holes. I'm leaving."

Jiang Mianmian dumped this mess on him and slipped out of Peach Blossom Spring.

"Hey! Don't go! I need to talk to you about something!"

Magistrate Ye was left standing in the same spot, with Er Kang's help.

Master Yuan had been pacing around the door eight hundred times already, wondering, "Why isn't the person here yet?"

They said they'd come in the morning, and it's almost lunchtime now, but there's still no sign of them!

Just as he was sweating profusely with anxiety, a servant came to report from behind, "Master, Miss Mianmian has arrived! She suddenly appeared in the flower hall!"

"Ah, let's go, let's go in quickly."

Master Yuan casually pointed to a servant boy, "Go, quickly tell the young master to get ready!"

The group returned to the flower hall, where Jiang Mianmian was leisurely eating breakfast.

Steaming hot xiaolongbao, bursting with juice with every bite, the soup is fresh and the meat is delicious.

The sweet soy milk is so delicious that a sip leaves a lingering fragrance on your lips and teeth, and it's so sweet and refreshing.

There were also golden-fried dough sticks, sour and spicy pickled vegetables, and crisp and tender cucumbers.

Master Yuan, who had only had a bowl of thin porridge that morning, swallowed hard. "Miss Mianmian, where did you get so much food?"

The city has long since lost its various food stalls. Being able to survive on the family's grain and salted meat is already considered quite good. How could she still come up with so many creative ideas!

If only I had known, if only I had known, I would have reformed and followed this girl!

Maybe we can get a bite to eat!

"Want to eat?"

These things were of course stocked in the warehouse in advance. The warehouse can keep things fresh; they'll come out exactly the same way they came out! Jiang Mianmian ate two steamed buns with satisfaction, feeling that it was impossible to eat all of them, so she asked Master Yuan, "Why don't you have some too?"

"I won't eat it, but could you give me some to send to Pei'er?"

Master Yuan spoke hesitantly.
