The idler slinked away in defeat, causing the surrounding people to burst into laughter, praising Song Ci for her discerning eyes that no demon could escape.
Song Ci said, "You flatter me, fellow villagers. I don't have any special insight; I just have a quick temper and can't stand those people causing trouble on purpose. Our Prime Minister's Mansion doesn't bother to use small acts of charity to gain a good reputation. We genuinely want to do our small part to bring some joy to everyone."
"Madam, you don't need to say more, we understand."
Song Ci exchanged a few more polite pleasantries and then left, surrounded by her servants.
Not far away, a man dressed as a commoner passed a small package of roast pork, two buns, a red egg, and some candies to a maid standing by the carriage.
The maid got on the carriage and handed the items to Wan Chun, who was sitting inside.
