287: Beating the dog after closing the door

Su Xinyi ate the dry and hard cake she had brought with her, slowly swallowing it after soaking it in water.

There wasn't much food left in Yulin Guard City, so Xie Guan had some supplies distributed to Su Xinyi's servants. This group had no military supplies and had to rely on themselves to gather food along the way.

Because of this, Su Xinyi didn't want special treatment. She would eat what everyone else ate, and she could stomach it. She had even eaten wild grass before when she was in the mountains.

Su Qi found it difficult to swallow. He had never experienced such hardship, having grown up as a young master in the Qi Country Duke's Mansion, surrounded by luxury since childhood. Even the last time he escorted his sister back to Huaining County, the simplified meals they ate due to rushed travel were the worst he had ever had.
