Bai Xue prepared dinner and called out toward the West Room, "Dinner's ready!" She sat down and picked up her bowl, but noticed her younger daughter still hadn't come out. Normally, Bai Xue would have gone to call her, but today she was feeling frustrated, thinking her younger daughter's temper had been too big lately, so she didn't go to fetch her.
At the dinner table, Ye Ling only ate half a bowl before returning to the East Room, and Bai Hehua was also scared. She ate half a bowl without feeling full and put down her chopsticks, but unlike Ye Ling, she didn't dare to go back to her room directly; instead, she waited to clean up the table later.
Seeing her aunt's displeased face, and with Ye Qian not coming out, Bai Hehua cautiously asked, "Auntie, should I go call Ye Qian for dinner?"
