Old Lady Ning didn't see herself as an outsider at all, turning to Ning Ziping and saying, "Go, pour me a cup of water."
Mother Wang heard this and suddenly realized her own oversight—she hadn't even poured water yet. She quickly said, "That's my fault, I'll do it, I'll do it."
She turned, picked up the teapot from the tray, added tea leaves to it, and then used the thermos sitting on the floor to brew tea.
Old Lady Ning sat there calmly watching Mother Wang brew the tea, thinking to herself, "Now I've got leverage over her daughter. She's got no choice but to serve me carefully."
After the tea was poured, Mother Wang said, "Drink tea, drink tea. I was careless earlier, I hope you can be forgiving, in-law."
Old Lady Ning took a sip of tea before slowly saying, "You should know who Wei Liling is, right?"
Mother Wang's hand trembled while pouring tea for the others, nearly scalding herself.
