Zuzi ultimately didn't have this dinner.
Food without Spiritual Energy was, really, unpalatable to the Ancestor.
She went to the new room that Gu Qiusha had personally arranged for her—said to be her brother Xi Qingfeng's bedroom.
The room was very tidy, with few pieces of furniture but very clean, a kind of no-nonsense, minimalist style.

She laid out the Jade Pendant, pen, and belt she had secretly obtained from Bao Gucheng in a row.
