Mu Jin glanced at Su Yi: "So, this is good news?"

Su Yi laughed and said, "Of course, I collected 1,000 shi of grain in one afternoon. If we eat it sparingly, it should be enough to feed the disaster victims outside the city for five or six days. In addition, I found more than 100 tents and more than 1,000 sets of winter clothes and quilts. Although it is not enough, it is better than nothing."

When Mu Jin heard that Su Yi had managed to collect so many supplies in just one afternoon, she couldn't help but feel a bit of admiration for him.

Mu Jin nodded. She had the extra winter clothes, cloth, and rice donated by the servants of the General's Mansion, plus the imperial court's supplies. It should be enough to last for more than half a month.

Seeing that Mu Jin seemed to be thinking, Su Yi said, "Ah Jin, are you really going out of the city in person tomorrow? Actually, I am also a person with nothing to do. It is enough for us men to go. There is no need for you women to go to that filthy place. The outside of the city is not as simple as you think. Don't be scared to tears when you get there."

Hearing Su Yi's words, Mu Jin's initial admiration for her vanished instantly with a single sentence from Su Yi.

Mu Jin glared at Su Yi with annoyance, stood up and said, "Have you had your fill? If you have, hurry back to your Prince Yi's mansion. I have many things to prepare for tonight, so please excuse me."

Su Yi glanced at Mu Jin with amusement. Mu Jin's expression seemed to say to him, "You're no longer of any use to me, so goodbye?"

Su Yi was thus driven out of the General's Mansion by Mu Jin. But no sooner had Su Yi left than the carriage from the Prince of Yun's Mansion arrived at the gate of the General's Mansion.

Su Yuntian lifted the carriage curtain and stepped down from the carriage amidst the fine snow. He wore a black cloak and matching brocade boots, his footsteps silent in the snow. He walked to the gate of the General's Mansion, picked up the bronze ring, and knocked on it forcefully.
