Father, who is both a heir and a descendant, is still biased; the bound system has gone berserk.

Mu Qing and Mu Shan stepped forward. Mu Qing sneered, "Prefect Yuan, let me introduce myself. I am Mu Qing, one of the four personal guards of the Mu family patriarch."

Mu Shan also said, "I am Mu Shan, one of the four personal guards of the Mu family patriarch."

Yuan Liangyi's eyes widened, his facial muscles twitched, and suddenly, he opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"You, you all..." Yuan Liangyi was greatly shocked and couldn't say a word. He stiffly turned his head to look at Ying Yufu.

She... is actually the head of the Mu family!

That remarkable woman actually gave the position of head of the Mu family to Ying Yufu!

Excellent! Excellent is the Mu family! Excellent is Ying Yufu!

She really hid it well.

Not to mention Yuan Liangyi, even the Crown Prince was taken aback.

He was unaware that Lady Jin Guo had handed over the position of head of the Mu family to Ying Yu Fu.

"Hehe, Your Highness, your luck... is truly remarkable." Yuan Liangyi stared at the Crown Prince with a mocking yet sarcastic tone.

The crown prince chuckled and spread his hands, saying, "What can we do? If you're lucky, you can't stop it."

Hara Yoshiyuki finally fainted.

Ying Yufu couldn't help but chuckle as she looked at the Crown Prince's smug expression.

"Piglet!"

Suddenly, a piercing scream shattered the silence.

Everyone was startled and looked sharply toward the source of the sound.

Then a middle-aged woman with a weathered face embraced a young man, who fell to the ground with a knife stuck in his chest.

The boy's hand was still gripping the hilt of the knife.

The young man looked at the woman with a face full of guilt, "I'm sorry, Mother, I... have no face to live anymore."

"No! Ah—"

The woman cried out in heart-wrenching pain.

As soon as the woman's mournful cry rang out, two more couples nearby let out heart-wrenching cries.

Two girls, including the one named Xiuzhu, slit their own throats with a sharp shard that appeared out of nowhere.

[Host, the mission is only complete if these eighteen people are saved!] Little Madman reminded.

Ying Yufu couldn't help but gasp.

How innocent are these eighteen people?

"No one is allowed to die! No suicides are allowed!"

Ying Yufu shouted loudly, ordering the families of the young men and women, "Keep an eye on them, don't let them commit suicide again."

Without Ying Yufu needing to say more, after Zhuwa and the two girls took the lead in committing suicide, the other young men and girls' families were all terrified and turned pale.

They looked at their child with a mixture of fear and pleading.

Having calmed these people down, Ying Yufu strode forward and decisively spent 150 points from her spatial storage to buy three bottles of Life Essence Liquid.

"Uncles and aunties, don't cry, I can save them!"

After saying that, Ying Yufu gave the two bottles of life essence to the parents of the two girls and told them to feed it to them.

He then squatted down and personally fed the life essence to the young piglet on the ground.

With focused attention, she pulled the dagger from the young man's chest.

His wounds were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

At the same time, someone beside the two girls exclaimed, "They're healed! They're healed!"

The woman, who had been crying with despair on her face, stopped crying, stared wide-eyed at the wound on the young man's chest.

She was stunned.

"Piglet!" She helped the young man up.

The young piglet looked completely bewildered.

He looked down at his chest in disbelief, then at Ying Yufu.

The middle-aged woman suddenly knelt down and kowtowed fiercely to Ying Yufu, "Princess, you are the true goddess!"

The other people standing nearby were also filled with astonishment!

In a short while, the people knelt down in unison.

Their eyes were filled with reverence, but they only dared to stare at her feet, not daring to look directly at her face.

Ying Yufu had a bad feeling.

The next moment, the people shouted in unison, "Greetings, Goddess!"

"Greetings, Goddess!"

Ying Yufu: "..."

On the other side, the crown prince grabbed the young scholar's hand.

Sure enough, the boy had a dagger hidden in his hand.

The boy knelt down, his voice hoarse: "Your Highness, this humble subject has no face to live on. It's only a pity that I have stained your robes. If there is an afterlife..."

"I heard you're a scholar?" the prince asked.

The boy was taken aback. "Huh?"

"Your knowledge must be quite good, right?" the prince asked again.

The young man was stunned for a moment, then a bitter smile appeared on his lips: "Your Highness, my learning is really mediocre. I was only able to pass the county-level exam because of good luck. When the list was being compiled, I was at the very bottom."

"Scholar, don't be modest. Although you came in last place, all your knowledge came from eavesdropping on your teacher's lectures."

Even when you're writing, you're on the beach.

Without a book, without a pen, without a full meal, and with endless work every day, how could you possibly pass the imperial examination and become a scholar? If you're not a genius, then who is?

A middle-aged man said with a sigh.

"I've heard about this scholar's story. He's truly remarkable; he's a genius."

Mu Qing also said, her tone somewhat sour.

He studied diligently from a young age, even with famous teachers, but still failed to pass the imperial examination to become a scholar.

After arriving in Huizhou, he took advantage of the fact that no one knew him and pretended to be a scholar.

As soon as he arrived, he heard about the young scholar's deeds and was extremely envious.

The young scholar lowered his eyes. So what? Later, after he passed the county-level exam, he had no chance to study again and take the provincial-level exam.

He couldn't eavesdrop on a scholar's academic achievements.

"What is your name?" the prince asked.

"Your Highness, I am Yu Heng, a commoner," the young man said.

"A good name," the prince said.

"Yu Heng, would you like to come with me to the capital? I will send you to study at the academy."

"If you pass the imperial examination within three years and achieve the highest honors in all three levels, I promise you a position in the Grand Secretariat."

The common people didn't understand what a cabinet was, but they knew that with the Crown Prince's promise, the young scholar was about to rise to prominence.

As for what happened to him, no one mentioned it.

Yu Heng was stunned for a long time.

After a moment, he gave a bitter smile, "This humble subject... is afraid I will fail His Highness's kindness and great favor. In my next life, I will..."

"What next life?!" Ying Yufu walked over, looking displeased.

She looked at Yu Heng, and then at the other seventeen people.

"You are at the prime of your lives, with a long future ahead of you. You must not give up on yourselves because of the despicable behavior of those who treat you badly."

The Crown Prince nodded: "That's right. The best revenge against our enemies is for you to live and thrive."

Ying Yufu said, "You know the Mu family business, right? If you don't want to stay in your hometown anymore, you can go somewhere else."

The Mu family's businesses are everywhere. You can go wherever you want. As long as you have the ability to stay in the Mu family's businesses, you can change your name, change your identity, and start over.

Your family members may join you if they wish.

If you don't want your family to suffer for the rest of their lives because of your death, you should pull yourself together and give yourselves and your families a chance.

The atmosphere at the scene was completely quiet.

Everyone was looking at the eighteen people on the stage.
