"Lord Wei, Madam Wei, this is a secret letter from the court." Lord Li handed the letter to Wei Che.
Su Huaiyue was puzzled as to whether the secret letter sent by the court had anything to do with them?
She gestured for Wei Che to open the envelope. He quickly glanced through the contents of the secret letter, frowning.
"The imperial court has sent a letter asking us to assist in dealing with the famine in Dongzhou. It seems this isn't just a problem for the village."
Wei Che handed the letter to Su Huaiyue. After reading it carefully, she realized the seriousness of the problem.

"We may need more help. Lord Li may have some manpower that can be mobilized."

She knew that any delay could lead to a greater crisis, and she had to act decisively.
As the sky gradually darkened, people in the village hung up lanterns one after another. The warm light shone through the windows onto the ground, adding a bit of tranquility to the slightly tense atmosphere.
