Wen'er and Wu'er, being used to the fine food from home, simply couldn't stomach such swine-like fare. They barely ate a few bites before they put down their chopsticks, refusing to eat more.
Cai Wei and Cai Fei didn't eat much either, setting down their chopsticks early.
After dinner, worried about her mother working all day without rest, Cai Wei stood up and moved to the outer room, asking her mother to go to the inner room for dinner, while she took her mother's place outside.
Standing by the table, she noticed that Nangong Yi ate very little, hardly touched his chopsticks, only held conversations with Mu Zhongqing and Manager Li, and occasionally spoke a few words with the Clan Leader. He virtually ignored the Great House of Mu.
Lady Li, seeing Cai Wei replacing Lady Du, couldn't help but think of her own daughter. The girl, probably traumatized earlier, hadn't returned since she ran out, truly worrisome!
