The heavy snow caused a disaster, and refugees entered the city. Whenever there's a disaster, the noble circle in the capital naturally donates and sets up porridge stalls to aid the victims.
The Prime Minister's Mansion was no exception and had prepared early.
Madam Song, upon hearing Song Ci's suggestion to use coarse rice instead of fine rice to make porridge, was initially apprehensive. But upon learning that the price of grain had increased significantly, even coarse rice had doubled in price, she felt somewhat relieved.
However, this relief vanished when she heard some mocking remarks, and her expression changed.
Madam Song accompanied Song Ci to the back gate of the porridge stall. They peeked through the door and heard those sarcastic comments from the refugees about which family used fine rice, and how the dignified Prime Minister's Mansion was so stingy, making her face darken.
She instinctively looked towards Song Ci.
Song Ci, however, just smiled and walked out.
