For this banquet, Yueyao had been busy for quite some time. Yueyao was worried that she wouldn't be able to greet all the guests by herself on the day of the banquet, so she specially invited Zhuang Ruolan to come and help.
On the day of the banquet, Zhuang Ruolan arrived early.
Yueyao went out to welcome Zhuang Ruolan into the house and said apologetically, "Sister-in-law, today I am going to trouble you." If Mingzhu were not pregnant, Yueyao would certainly have asked Mingzhu to help. Since Mingzhu was not available, the most ideal person was naturally Zhuang Ruolan.
Zhuang Ruolan smiled and said, "You silly girl, I'm happy that you're willing to let me help you. There's no need to talk about trouble." Being invited to help receive guests meant that Yueyao didn't treat her as an outsider, seeing her as family.
Yueyao chatted with Zhuang Ruolan for a while, then a maid came in and reported, "Madam, Princess Wanhe has arrived."
