The flood disaster in the South of the River was severe, and many refugees began appearing in the Capital City.
Yan Wanqing had already been providing porridge and distributing food for over half a month in the name of the Empress, earning an excellent reputation among the populace.
Her mother, Sun Qinglian, was even more hands-on, commanding the posthouses under the Township Manor to shelter those poor souls without homes to return to. More than this, her image—clad in unassuming clothes that endeared her to the common folk—had already won hearts. In the eyes of the refugees and the populace, they revered her as a living Bodhisattva.
This time, the Township Manor had made a significant statement of its presence.
Plenty of ministers had already submitted memorials to the Emperor, praising the selfless and patriotic spirit of the Township Manor. Some had even called for the Emperor to bestow a decree of nobility upon the lady of the Township Manor.
