Matriarch Lu recalled how she had met Qiao Nian at the temple. Her expression grew gentler as she said softly, "Young Nian, if you hadn't reminded me last time, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to hold my eldest granddaughter's birthday banquet this time. You would probably be attending my funeral instead!"
Matriarch Lu coughed. Thinking of the results of the examination, she sighed slightly and continued, "Thank you for making such a beautiful blessing bag for my poor eldest granddaughter. To express our gratitude, we'd like to invite you to have a meal with us today."
"Alright, thank you, Madam Lu." Qiao Nian nodded.
After that, the group arrived at the Lu family's ancestral hall. This place was dedicated to the ancestors of the Lu family. Incense was burning in the ancestral hall, indicating that the Lu family's incense offerings would continue indefinitely into the future.
