The Lu Family Mansion was situated in the countryside, at least an hour's drive from the city.
The closer one got, the more luxury cars could be seen on the road, some with white cloth strips already hanging from their rearview mirrors—clearly all rushing to mourn at the Lu Family.
After driving through a village where every household lived in small Western-style buildings and past a stretch of lush green rice fields, Xiao Ming was stopped at the head of a bridge.
A middle-aged man with a black armband came forward, cupped his hands together, and said, "I'm sorry, but our Family Head has just passed away, and many matters are quite pressing. Today, we are only receiving members of the Lu Clan. If you are well-intentioned, please come back tomorrow.
"I apologize for any inconvenience, and I hope you can forgive any lack of courtesy."
