Han Yuling and Li Sheng returned to the front hall. At this grand engagement banquet, Lord Tan and Wang Danlu had finally achieved their wish and tied the knot. Friends and family gathered together to share the joy. Lord Tan and Wang Danlu sat in the seats of honor, raising their cups and toasting one another. Their happiness was infectious, and the entire hall was filled with laughter and cheer.
However, seeing them drink too much, Liu Ye'er and Wang Xiaoyan, the younger generation of the brides, began to worry. They repeatedly urged Lord Tan and Wang Danlu not to drink anymore. Looking worriedly at Lord Tan and Wang Danlu, who were already a bit tipsy, Liu Ye'er said anxiously, "Uncle Tan, Mother, you cannot drink any more. You're already drunk." But Lord Tan replied happily, "I am happy! A fortune of gold is easy to find, but a true companion is hard to meet." Wang Danlu also smiled and said, "I've finally tasted sweetness after all that bitterness, so I'm willing even if it drinks me to death."
At this moment, Han Yuling appeared. She pulled Wang Danlu up and said softly, "Even happiness should have its limits. Stop drinking and go back." Although Wang Danlu was somewhat reluctant, she knew Han Yuling cared about her, so she offered no resistance and was led into the room.
