Her aunt saw this, gave her a sly glare, and whispered a warning: "Don't say anything out of line later."
Zheng Mei pouted, "Okay."
Isn't Yu Yao just the commander's lover? What's so special about her?
I don't know what kind of spell they cast on Sister Dan, but they actually entrusted her with such an important matter as the New Year's Eve dinner.
She's not much older than me, how could she possibly do it well?
Everyone brought their own stools, put them in the yard, and sat down.
Yu Yao invited everyone to sit in the courtyard, while she and Lu Ze went inside to pour water for everyone.

Using coconut shells to hold partridge tea looks rustic and has a unique island feel. The women found it fascinating and held the bowls, looking at them with great interest.

She didn't believe Yu Yao could give a coherent explanation; this was a New Year's Eve dinner for over a thousand people.
Did they think that by using connections to become a person in charge, they could reap the benefits and gain both fame and fortune?
She deliberately wanted to see her make a fool of herself!
