Mrs. Yan sniffed, then continued, "I'll make this decision. When An Ning comes back, let's have her serve tea to you and the sisters-in-law, officially settling this engagement!"
"Sister-in-law..." An Dafu had long sensed that Mrs. Yan was not quite herself today, but it was only now that he realized she wasn't just not quite herself—she was very unlike herself.
Mrs. Yan seemed somewhat possessed, staring at An Dafu, "Brother Erlai, can you help me find An Ning and bring her back, okay?"
"Sister-in-law, what is going on, at least tell me something. You just told me to find An Ning without a word, and I'm completely lost here!"
"If you don't go, then I'll have to go myself."
Mrs. Yan stood up, attempting to stagger out.
An Dafu was helpless and could only stop her, saying, "Alright, alright, Sister-in-law, you'd better hurry back to bed and rest. I'll go find her, okay? You can hardly walk yourself, where would you go to find her?"
Only then did Mrs. Yan relent.
