In the vast Jiangyuan County, Shu Yu, this Village Chief, is considered a person of high social status. If she doesn't attend, others might speculate about her relationship with the Madam of the County Magistrate.

Ding Yuehua consoled Shu Yu, "Luckily, it isn't considered a very formal banquet. The venue is at the Peach Blossom Forest, and I guess we can just stroll around there, admire the flowers, and then go back. I'll accompany you, and we can find a corner to chat by ourselves."
The Peach Blossom Forest is where Third Lu works.
It's usually open for free to the public, but there are more private areas reserved for wealthy young men and women to enjoy alone.
The place Xiao Family selected should be of that kind.
