The festive and cozy atmosphere of Small Year's Eve was spent amidst hustle and anxiety. Not only did Liu Yang Village not have a good Small Year celebration, but Emperor Huian, Chu Heng, and the Minister of the Imperial Astronomical Bureau, who had been urgently summoned to the palace, were also restless.
After reading Mo Yan's letter, Xiao Ruiyuan took the snow disaster mentioned very seriously. Naturally, Mo Yan did not mention in her letter that she had a Xuetuan which knew of the future. Instead, she only wrote about the several houses in the village that had been crushed and the several greenhouses that had collapsed, and also mentioned the snow disaster from the year before last, which had left many people dead from cold and hunger, skillfully conveying her concern about the heavy snowfall.
