"This is from your grandfather, keep it."
The man's eyes carried a calm acceptance after a surprise, as if it was naturally meant to be hers, just given to her earlier.
"Thank you, grandfather and grandmother!"
She could feel everyone's gaze fixed on that box, shifting from Old Master Lu's hand to hers.
Ye Wan received it and opened the box.
An antique bronze key.
It looked as if it had some years to it, the bronze color of the key exuding a timeless simplicity.
"This is the key to access the Lu householder's seal."
In the pin-drop silence, Old Madam Lu spoke kindly, "The box for the householder's seal is with Chuanchuan. Ever since the old master passed the position of the householder to him that year, the seal was handed to him as well. But the key to the box has always been with the old master."
"Today, it's given to you!"
