The birthday banquet immediately descended into chaos, with shouts of anger and cries of defiance ringing incessantly.

Moreover, when disaster strikes, who wouldn't think for themselves?
The guards, the dignitaries, soon joined the mob looting the grain.
Meanwhile, Ruan Mian had already moved to another courtyard within the mansion.
