"No, no, we've already eaten so much and are quite full. We've never had such delicious meals before; we accidentally overate without realizing it," said Mrs. Wang with some embarrassment. She had intended to eat less, not wanting to take too much advantage of someone else's kindness, but the meals were so tasty that she ended up eating more than planned.
Cheng Zi and Huzi were also a bit embarrassed. They were not thoughtless children; just as their mother had said, the food was too good, and they couldn't help themselves, instinctively rubbing their stomachs while looking down.
Seeing that Mrs. Wang and the two children were indeed full, Su Wenyue didn't say anything more to avoid making them feel more uneasy. Old Man Liu, perhaps because he had drunk some wine, seemed quite at ease, chatting away about everything under the sun with Master Su and demonstrating unexpected insight into affairs, even those concerning the Imperial Court.
