"Would you mind having dinner with this old dowager?" Dowager Yan looked over at Yan Mi.
The table was laid with a variety of delicacies, all of which were Yan Mi's favorites.
Yan Mi slightly lowered her eyes and simply said, "I dare not."

"Lady, try this. These 'Four Joys' meatballs are made with sea cucumber, crab, shrimp, and pork," an old woman behind her quickly stepped forward to break the stifling silence.
Yan Mi did take a small bite after all.
'Four Joys' meatballs symbolize reunion and peace. They're really not appropriate now.
Dowager Yan asked again, "Was everything proper at the Duke Wei Mansion this time?"
"Appropriate."
