The bride's side having someone at the head table is a sign of respect. Mrs. Pei's refusal was due to habitual thinking, not a purposeful attempt to belittle or suppress.
Upon hearing this, Mr. Pei tugged at his wife's hand under the table.
Mrs. Pei shot her husband a sidelong glance and responded coldly, "What are you tugging me for?"
The room fell into a quiet hush for a few seconds at these words.
Jiang Xianmei hesitated a bit, but finally acquiesced, "Okay, that can be arranged."
She knew how difficult her niece, Yuzhu, had had it. Besides, Xiaopei really cared about Yuzhu, and not being able to sit at the head table wasn't a huge deal.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuzhu felt somewhat upset. She had initially wanted to stand up and protest, but then decided against it, weighing the situation.
This was Mrs. Pei's problem; it had nothing to do with Pei Jingchuan, and it wouldn't do to involve him in this.
