Relying on a shred of conscience, he softened his tone, "I've already sent someone to investigate. On such a grand day, the guests haven't even left yet, why are you crying like this?"
Mrs. Qin wiped her tears and sobbed, "You're right, even though I'm the lady of Qin Mansion, I shouldn't lose my composure during such times."
"Husband, have some tea first. Shen'er is not here today, and this cup of filial tea hasn't been served to you; I will offer it to you in his place. At least we cannot break the rules."
Seeing her reasoning, Qin Fu's temper calmed considerably.
This tea, according to custom, must be drunk.
Thus, he did not want to embarrass Mrs. Qin and accepted the cup.
