The banquet at Rui'an King's Residence was of high standards, and the food and wine were delightful.
Duanhua spoke softly to Su Rong, "You may not understand how many people in the capital want to curry favor with Mr. Shen. His wife usually declines such ordinary feasts pleading ill-health. Your influence must be substantial, as Mrs. Shen attended today's banquet because of you."
Su Rong also whispered in her ear, "It's not my influence, but that of my paternal uncle. He and Uncle Shen have a deep friendship from the past, and that is why my elder brother and I receive hospitality from the Shen Residence."
Duanhua murmured, "After today, no one would dare to impeach you."
