The Yan Family's Lunar New Year's Eve dinner was quite simple.
There were only five people, too few to finish a lavish meal, so they opted for simplicity.
Recently, Zhao Yuanzhen had been keeping a low profile, as if addicted to it. She even personally served duck soup to Yan's father and mother and reserved duck legs for Yan Jing and Yan Yu, only then starting on the duck wings herself.
Yan Yu was indifferent and calmly enjoyed his duck leg; however, Yan Jing was startled and felt a sense of foreboding.
These tactics were actually not very clever. She could have managed them more subtly, but to Yan's father and mother, it felt entirely different.
A daughter's filial piety towards her parents is natural, but a daughter-in-law showing respect... that was exceedingly rare. It was known that in this widely awakened era, most people did not even show filial piety towards their own parents, let alone their in-laws.
