Months later, Hui Niang fell asleep while talking with Lu Mingshu.
As she spoke, her voice trailed off into silence.
Lu Mingshu turned her head to look, only to find Hui Niang had stopped breathing.
The end of Hui Niang's life was both expected and sudden.
Lu Mingshu buried her beside Elder Lu and Lu Qingyi, just like a true member of the Lu family.
Of the old acquaintances from her childhood, only Ah Sheng remained. Ah Sheng was over seventy now and had become a grandfather. His son was mediocre, but his grandson was very promising.
After meeting the child, Lu Mingshu decided to keep him in Green Jade Valley.
While she was there, she could teach him herself, and even when she was gone, Xie Zhanghui would be there—a talent like him would be a waste not to utilize properly.
This time back, Lu Mingshu planned to stay a while longer, to spend more time with her master.
