After the house was confiscated, I relied on billions of dollars in supplies to become a group favor

Day two.

The emperor's decree to grant amnesty to the world and to do good deeds and accumulate virtue has been passed down.

All prisoners in the prison, except for the most heinous crimes, can return to freedom and return to their families to become ordinary people and continue to live their lives. This pardon order naturally includes this group of exiled prisoners in Yuecheng.

According to the laws of the current dynasty, exiled prisoners are not allowed to leave the place of exile for life unless they receive a pardon or receive special merit.

With this pardon, all the exiled prisoners were no longer prisoners of the imperial court, but resumed their status as civilians. They no longer had to be subject to labor punishment and could live their own lives as ordinary citizens, or Choose to return to the capital.

The news of the emperor's pardon order also reached the palace of Yuecheng City Lord, thousands of miles away, a few days later.

Due to the special nature of Yue City, the emperor's orders could not be issued directly, but through the city lord's palace, leaving the decision-making power to the city lord's palace.

This pardon order is not good news for Yuecheng City Lord's Mansion. The City Lord can also choose not to issue it and treat it as nothing happened.

But the city lord is an open-minded person who loves the people. He doesn't care if the promulgation of this decree will cause the exiled prisoners to leave Yue City. In his opinion, if Yue City cannot retain these people, it can only mean that Yue City has not received the benefits. People's hearts and minds cannot be changed by forcing people to stay.

The city lord was a little surprised when he received the news of the pardon order.

He rubbed the imperial edict in his hand and asked his servants to quickly write the pardon order into an official document and post it. Then he thought of something and immediately ordered everyone to call the entire Mu family into the house.

He had learned that the reason why the Mu family was ransacked and exiled was because of a false accusation against Mu Yunxiao, and the city lord did not believe that Mu Yunxiao would do something that was not beneficial to his family, country, or himself.

The city lord could vaguely guess that if this pardon order were to be issued, the whole family would probably return to the capital, especially Mu Yunxiao and Ruan He.

A shallow pond cannot hold a swimming dragon!

After all, Yuecheng is a small place, and the capital is where they should go, not to mention that there are still huge grievances waiting to be redressed.

The Mu family is quite sincere, they are kind to their city lord's mansion, and they are also the old man's savior.

After spending these days together, the city lord and the old man, father and son, have naturally developed a deep friendship with the Mu family. After parting ways, the city lord wanted to call someone over to inquire.

Not long after, the Mu family had arrived at the city lord's mansion. They still didn't know what the city lord's intention was in calling him here, but they stood aside generously.

Ruan He and Mu Yunxiao thought of a place in a tacit understanding. The two of them suddenly looked at each other and had a vague premonition in their hearts. They just waited quietly for the city lord to announce the news.

The city lord did not hesitate and handed the pardon letter that had been sent thousands of miles to Mu Yunxiao, asking him to look at it carefully.

The pardon letter was passed around in the hands of several members of the Mu family. There was no excessive surprise as expected. Everyone had different expressions, but without exception they were silent for a moment.

Mu Yunxiao and Ruan He, who had expected this, naturally looked calm and understanding.

Mrs. Mutai, Aunt Zong and Third Uncle Mu Zhengyuan all showed thoughtful and deep expressions.

If they had just arrived in Yue City, then this pardon document would be nothing more than a blessing from heaven. But now that they have settled down in Yue City safely and lived a happy life, such a pardon document would be nothing more than a gift to them. Just the opportunity to return to Beijing, not much has changed. The city lord's calm eyes swept over the Mu family, and his usually serious and steady temper could not help showing a little bit of sadness, but he said directly: "I know you have reasons for having to return to Beijing, and I won't If you stop me, you can go back if you want. I will open the city gate at any time to welcome your family back."

There was silence among them for a moment. Mrs. Mutai stroked the precious pardon document in her hand with emotion. Her mood was complicated, and there were twinkling tears in the corners of her eyes.

After a long time, he sighed and said: "Xiao'er, my grandmother is old and useless. I'll leave this important matter to you and Xiaohe to make the decision."

Perhaps the life in Yuecheng was too stable and happy, and perhaps her old age had diluted Mrs. Mutai's original desire to restore the glory of the Mu family and clear away the grievances of treason.

Whether she is returning to Beijing or staying in Yuecheng, she, as an elderly elder, is willing to accompany the juniors.

Regarding the matter of returning to Beijing, Mu Yunxiao and Ruan He had confessed their feelings and reached a unified opinion a few days ago.

Ruan He's clear eyes turned slightly to the side, and he looked at Mu Yunxiao and smiled.

We saw in each other's eyes the sincerity that I will be where you are.

Ruan He looked at Mrs. Mutai and said solemnly: "Grandma, Yun Xiao and I have discussed this matter before, and we have decided to return to Beijing. However, considering that you are old, you can stay here temporarily... …”

"and many more……"

Before she could finish her words, there was already the sound of hurried and heavy footsteps outside.

The old man walked in at a brisk pace. He seemed to have arrived in a hurry, and the thick cloth coat on his body was not put on the front and back.

"father."

The city lord was listening to them talking, and Chad saw his father rushing in in a hurry, paused slightly, and called out, with some surprise in his eyes.

The old man had always been quick-tempered and impatient. When he heard the news, he rushed in in a hurry. He hadn't thought about what to say. When he walked in front of Mrs. Mutai, the words in his heart were stuck in his throat. Showing a different twist than before, he stood there and paused for a while facing everyone's gaze.

As soon as he heard that the Mu family was leaving Yuecheng and returning to Beijing, his heart skipped a beat and his whole body felt as if thunder had struck him. He couldn't sit still and hurried over.

In full view of everyone, the old man, with a shameless face, walked up to Mrs. Mutai without any hesitation and asked directly:

"You...can you not leave?"

While Mrs. Mutai was stunned, the old man was afraid that she would directly reject him, so he simply took her hand and repeated with a choked voice: "Can you stay with me?"

In just a moment, the old man's old eyes were filled with tears, and the tears shone with sincerity. On the contrary, Mrs. Mutai was quite at a loss, so embarrassed that she didn't know what to say.

Ruan He vaguely understood something, blinked his clear eyes, raised the corners of his lips unconsciously, and covered his mouth to suppress a smile.

She had long seen that the old man and her grandmother had a deep relationship, but she didn't expect that such a relationship had secretly developed. (End of chapter)
