After offering incense, Zhi Wan burned paper money for her parents. Finally, she knelt before their graves and kowtowed.
When it was time to leave, she was reluctant to go, looking back every few steps.
Everyone accommodated her, walking very slowly.
Zhi Wan's trip was for the sole purpose of tending to her parents' graves. With her respects paid, it was naturally time to return to Yangzhou.
The group didn't return to Jurong but instead got directly onto the main road and set off for Yangzhou.
Just as they arrived outside their courtyard estate, they saw the Prefect of Yangzhou, Liang Qixian, waiting there.
"Mr. Lu, Miss Lu, you've finally returned." Seeing the two of them back, Liang Qixian stepped forward delightedly and bowed respectfully.
Lu Zhan said coolly, "Is there something you need, Mr. Liang?"
