"It's nothing important, just invited me for dinner, and we talked about family matters," Wu Lang said. "Besides me, there were no other people, just a few brothers from the Shen family nearby."
Lian Manman felt more at ease hearing Wu Lang say this.
"It's good if there's nothing serious," Lian Shouxin and Lady Zhang both said.
Wu Lang then had someone bring in several boxes.
"Sixth Master brought back some things and gave us a share," Wu Lang said.
"Sixth Master is too gracious," Lian Shouxin replied. They had already exchanged gifts for the Double Ninth Festival with the Shen family, and Shen Liu's share was evidently an additional gift.
Lian Manman had someone open the boxes, and the family looked at the gifts Shen Liu had sent. Besides some specialties from the Border Town they had talked about before, there were several pieces of top-quality silver-mouse and gray-mouse pelts.
