Guard Cheng Xian's expression caught Shu Yu's eye, and she immediately signaled to Wang Changdong with a glance.
The latter quickly echoed Shu Yu's words, saying, "Yes, Cheng Xian, we are all trying the taste of these snails. But since we are all inexperienced and haven't seen the world, we can't say whether there are better-tasting snails elsewhere. With your broad experience, perhaps you could offer some advice to Lady Lu."
The others also nodded in agreement and then crowded around Cheng Xian, nudging him forward.
Cheng Xian couldn't very well refuse, and found himself being pushed into the living room to take a seat. The table in front of him had been wiped clean by the quick-witted officers.
The wine jug had also been put away. Tasting the snails was fine, but drinking alcohol was not on the agenda.
