Su Yunjin went to the Lu Residence, but unfortunately, both Madam Lu and Huan Brother were not there. Only the matriarch of the Lu family, Old Lady Lu, was present. Upon hearing that Su Yunjin had arrived, Old Lady Lu quickly instructed the maids and servants to invite Su Yunjin to the inner hall for a meeting. Su Yunjin took out the Jade Pendant and explained the reason for returning it.
To her surprise, Old Lady Lu had no intention of accepting the return of the Jade Pendant. Instead, she smiled and said, "Madam Gu, since Huan Brother has already given the Jade Pendant to Miss Gu, how could there be any reason to take it back? Madam Gu, just accept this Jade Pendant; consider it a toy for the child."
Old Lady Lu was a wise woman, growing more shrewd with age. The Jade Pendant she had given Huan Brother was not cheap, but not overly valuable either. At the time of her marriage, she had a whole chest full of dowry items, and this Jade Pendant was merely one piece among them.
