Su Yi's assistant came to deliver a message. Su Xinyi learned that he'd taken the troops out to chase the Tatars, and was aware that he might not return for three or five days. She was naturally worried, but other than awaiting news, there was nothing else she could do.
In the evening, Su Xinyi decided to cook something simple for dinner, aiming to let everyone have a good rest. However, to her surprise, a banquet was delivered just after it got dark. It had been sent by Zhu Pengzu.
Su Xinyi looked at the lavish banquet spread across the table. As a woman, it wouldn't have been appropriate for her to attend the victory feast this evening. The fact that General Zhu, the commander-in-chief, had specifically ordered the banquet to be delivered was an act of goodwill towards her.
With a light laugh, Su Xinyi looked at everyone and said, "Let's eat. We can discuss things tomorrow after a good night's rest."
