"Don't call me, Miss Qing'er, it's me, the King."
Upon hearing the man refer to himself as "this king," the group looked closely and realized it was Su Yi.
Su Yi had dined at the General's Mansion before, and all of Mu Jin's maids had seen him before. After bowing to Su Yi, everyone except Qing'er took their leave.

"I'll ask you one more time: where is Ah Jin now?"
