When the people of the Ji Family in the inn learned that Ji Youyuan was unharmed, they left Ji Youbo and Ji Youlin in Ji Youran's room to watch over him.

Xiao Er came upstairs to inform them that the meals were ready and asked if they still needed them.
Grandmother Ji pondered for a moment. "No need. I noticed a few beggars outside; they seem to have not eaten for days. Could you, Xiao Er, give those meals to them?"
Xiao Er was taken aback. "But ma'am..."
If you're not going to eat it, you could give it to me! Do those beggars outside even deserve such fine food? he thought.
"We will still pay for it," Grandmother Ji added.
She had just finished speaking when she saw an unfamiliar man walk over and bow politely. "Madam Ji, my Master invites you and your little grandchild for a visit."
