The only thing that seemed to unseal his ears was the Cui family's affairs. He said to Su Ning'an, "It's been a long time. Why hasn't there been any news from the capital yet?"
Su Ning'an said, "It should be soon. Mother said it will be in the next two days. Okay, stop reading and let's go to the dining hall for lunch."

After Qi Lianli settled the newcomers, he carefully looked over the imperial edict and documents.

"Madam Su, Lord Qi is waiting in the front hall. He said there's news from the capital."
Xiao Lingyu put down his chopsticks and said, "You guys eat first, I'll be right back."
Seeing this, Su Ningwen put down his chopsticks and followed.
Lu Yuan ordered, "Add another set of bowls and chopsticks. Butler, please follow. Now that we've finished discussing this, please invite Master Qi to come and have lunch with us."
