My Lord, and Su Huaiyue, they never intended to find food for everyone from the beginning, and they may have hidden other food."
Adjutant Cheng's face darkened upon hearing this. He turned to Su Huaiyue and asked, "Is this true, Madam Wei?"
Su Huaiyue quickly stepped forward and replied respectfully, "Adjutant Cheng, you know our family's situation. These steamed buns are indeed what Zhi'er didn't finish. Our Wei family has always been law-abiding. How could we hide food?"
