Mu Nianzhi's words got stuck in his throat.
Lady Lai looked utterly incredulous until Feng Zao handed a silver note to Mu Nianzhi, causing her to tear up and kowtow in gratitude.
"Who needs your fake sympathy..."
Feng Luochen really wanted to refuse Dugu Wu's filthy money, but his words trailed off halfway.
He remembered, he was broke.
This was not the time to act tough; rescuing people was more important.
Dugu Wu was really a fool with too much money, just handing over five thousand taels like that.
Feng Luochen suppressed his anger, helped Lady Lai and the other villagers, and said,
"Quickly leave."
Lady Lai and the villagers dared not linger longer, quickly rushing away with the ox cart.
Feng Luochen sighed in relief, but Dongfang Yong felt mixed emotions.
Since when had Dugu Wu become so benevolent, even lending a hand to help the villagers?
"What are you standing around for, return to the camp."
