The next day.

The new magistrate of Changyang County took office, and Shen Yan's mission here was successfully completed. After handing over all matters, she set off back to Beijing three days later.

After the people got the news, they spontaneously formed a team to send each other off.

Both sides of the streets in the county town were crowded with people, many of whom came to wait before dawn.

Shen Yan sat in the carriage and waved goodbye to the people.

At this time, a middle-aged man rushed up, stuffed two old hens into the carriage, and said, "Princess, these are my two old hens that are still laying eggs. You can keep them and you can eat the eggs." You can also make soup and eat meat. I would like to thank the princess for saving my son’s life before.”

He left the old hen and ran away.

"Princess, thank you for saving my mother earlier. This is a wild rabbit I shot in the mountains. It's so cute. I gave it to you to keep for fun." A young man put down the rabbit and left.

"Princess, these are the ducks raised by my family. I give them to you to eat. Thank you for saving my seedlings." said an old man.

"Princess, this is my family's goose. Thank you, Princess, for redressing my husband-in-law's grievance. Without Princess, my husband would have died, leaving us orphans and widows. How would we survive? Princess, you must accept it." The middle-aged woman said.

"Princess, these are the newly harvested melons and beans. The black people can try them. Thank you for teaching my son how to read."

……

Hundreds of people rushed to give Shen Yan gifts. Shen Yan's eyes were warm and she was filled with emotion.

These things may not matter to wealthy people, but to the people in the countryside, these things can keep them alive and are their most precious things.

What she did for them was her duty and the effort of her hands.

And what they gave her back was what they valued most.

"Folks, I appreciate your thoughts, thank you very much." Shen Yan stood up and thanked her.

"But, I can't accept your things. This is the principle."

"See you all later."

After saying that, she told Yun Cheng, "Return the things to everyone. I'll leave first and you guys will follow."

As soon as she finished speaking, she turned around and got into the carriage, and the driver drove away as quickly as possible.

The people who were watching were shocked. This was the first time they saw someone rejecting a gift.

When they reacted, they immediately chased the carriage with gifts in their arms.

The carriage was traveling so fast that they lost sight of the carriage within a few steps.

Yun Cheng quickly returned the gifts to everyone, then turned around and chased after Shen Yan.

When the people saw that Shen Yan had not taken away any of their knowledge, endless respect and surrender surged from their hearts.

They all knelt down and shouted loudly, "Congratulations to the princess!"

At this time, Shen Yan had already arrived at the city gate. Seeing that no people were chasing her, she ordered the coachman to stop the carriage and wait for Yuncheng and the others.

The sounds of congratulations from thousands of people just reached her ears. She raised her lips and felt that all the hard work was worth it.

When Yuncheng and the others caught up, the carriage set off again.

Half a month later.

The carriage enters the Ghost Leaping Cliff. It is said that even ghosts will be frightened and jump off the cliff when they come here.

"Princess, it's getting dark. We have to find a place to rest and wait until dawn tomorrow before leaving. There happens to be an inn in front of us," Yuncheng said.

"Okay." Shen Yan said.

Everyone headed towards the inn.

Shen Yan got off the carriage and entered the inn.

"My dear guests, do you want to stay in the hotel or have a meal?" The waiter came up to us with a smile on his face.

"Eat and stay in a hotel." Yuncheng took out a piece of silver and said, "We'll cover this hotel."

"Okay, sir." The waiter's eyes lit up as he looked at the money.

"Here's the good food and rice from your store," Yuncheng said.

Yun Jin added, "Prepare hot water, my lady wants to take a bath."

"Okay, gentlemen, please wait a moment." The waiter turned and left.

Shen Yan looked around, she was checking the safety of the inn.

The inn has two floors, the first floor is for dining, and the second floor is for accommodation.

At this time, there were several guests eating on the first floor. They ate slowly and talked softly, without even looking at Shen Yan and the others.

There was another person at the counter, a woman.

Shen Yan called Yun Jin and gave her some instructions in her ear. Yun Jin nodded and immediately stepped forward to ask the woman.

"Sister, my lady Kuishui is here, do you have that?" Yun Jin asked.

The woman raised her head and smiled, "No, I'm really sorry."

"Are there any other girls in your store? Can you help me ask?" Yun Jin asked again.

"I am the only girl in our store." the woman replied.

"Thank you." Yun Jin returned to Shen Yan and shook his head at Shen Yan.

"Miss, I will take you upstairs to rest. The food will be ready soon and I will send it to your room." The woman came over and said to Shen Yan.
