Ran Yan knelt down to offer tea to Duke Song and Lady Dugu, and before this, Chan'er opened a box containing a brocade handkerchief in front of Lady Dugu. Although the Grand Lady was an elder, Lady Dugu was Ran Yan's mother-in-law and should be the first to inspect it.
Lady Dugu looked down briefly, about to nod, but then she paused, looked again, and only then nodded her head.
Chan'er then presented the box to the Grand Lady. The Grand Lady was more composed, showing no change in expression. After inspecting it, she spoke indifferently, "Proceed with the tea ceremony, I have been feeling somewhat tired lately and cannot stay long."
