After the gift presentation, Lady Lu no longer kept her eyes on Lin Wanwan and instead engaged in conversation with others—mainly with her speaking and others chiming in.
In the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea, two more groups of people arrived at the antechamber, all being members of Qiantang's high society invited to the banquet.
The idle chatter continued, still centering on Lady Lu, while little Qingyu found these dull conversations sleep-inducing.
The little one was very well-behaved, clearly understanding the importance of maintaining decorum in public. Although she was restless, she didn't make any noise; she simply moved quietly from her spot to Lin Wanwan's side, nestling into her arms for a nap.
Both little Qingyu and her mother, Lin Wanwan, showed little interest in the brewed tea offered by the servants.
