As Yi Roujing sat down, an elderly middle-aged man came over to take her pulse, carrying a faint scent of medicine. Yi Roujing warmly greeted him.
"Minister Xu, rest assured, your daughter-in-law is very healthy, and the baby in her belly is perfectly stable," Mr. Chu said after examining her, softening his expression.
"That's great, that's great. Old Chu, we'll have a good drink tonight," Xu Zongyin said happily.
Ding Ancheng led Yi Roujing and the others to freshen up inside, change into clean clothes, and then came out feeling refreshed. The large round table in the living room was filled with dishes.
Mrs. Kang had prepared Peking duck, Kung Pao chicken, fried fish fillets, Beijing-style shredded pork, braised shark fin, exquisite tofu, and 'stir-fried but doesn't stick'. On the side was a pot, with many sliced meats, vegetables, dumplings, noodles, and sauces next to it.
Hot pot, eh? Yi Roujing's eyes lit up.
