When Yan Feifan returned to Zuimo Court around 6:30 p.m., he discovered his sister, who was usually quick to come home after work, wasn't there.
He learned from Du Qiu that his sister and Su Ye had gone straight to Xinfeng Restaurant after work. They were going to discuss the preparations for Saturday's wedding banquet with their uncle and future aunt.
Yan Feifan complained, "As his only nephew and closest relative, I should be doing my part for his wedding, too. It's a big deal."
"How could my sister not have said a word to me about this?"
Du Qiu brought a pot of black-boned chicken and lotus root soup from the kitchen to the dining table and said, "Ziruo said that wedding banquets are just a lot of tedious chores."
"She also said you're not interested and have no experience, so you'd just get in the way. It would be better if you just acted as a good-luck charm on Saturday and greeted the guests."
