Ms. Yan is considered to be in an awkward situation at this time; the two concubines of the main house are quite honest and do not interact with the second house. Naturally, they won't speak to her at the table.
And as for the second house's Aunt Wen and Lady Yin, one does not take Second Young Master to heart, and the other lacks courage, especially with Mrs. Kong watching intently from the side, making it even less likely for anyone to engage with her.
Ms. Yan is also not favored by Mrs. Gu Sr., which isolates her even more.
Even though Gu Er has been staying at her courtyard recently, it hasn't made others view her more favorably.
Ms. Yan is patient and calm, yet her heart was somewhat unsettled upon seeing Lin Youning today.
Throughout the meal, Ms. Yan didn't look elsewhere but frequently glanced at Lin Youning, who was sitting at the top.
After the meal, Mrs. Gu Sr. waved her hand, indicating her reluctance to see her youngest son, and asked everyone to go rest.
