Bai Ruozhu did not understand why the old man perceived her as a cunning person. Of course, Bai Ruozhu herself did not consider herself a saint, but she was genuinely wronged this time. She had only just found out that Yu Hongxiu was from Jiangnan, and she did not know that Bai Yibo was so ignorant as to consider crabs to be vile creatures. Otherwise, for the sake of their guests' reputation, she would have warned Bai Yibo.
Yu Hongxiu started to eat, but as no one else followed suit, she found it embarrassing to eat alone with Mr. Xie. Bai Ruozhu noticed Yu Hongxiu's awkwardness and laughed, "We are lucky today – we can learn from Mrs. Xie how to eat crab in the most authentic way."
With these words, Yu Hongxiu's crab eating turned into a demonstration for everyone else, allowing her to show off her genteel demeanor while explaining the process.
Yu Hongxiu gratefully responded to Bai Ruozhu with a smile and began explaining to everyone how to eat the crab.
