The day after the morning meal.
Qin Liuxi came to Madam Lin's courtyard to administer acupuncture and ask about her health according to their arrangement. Upon entering, she received a warm welcome.
"Here she comes." Lin Qingtang stepped forward, wanting to assist her, but felt it might be rude, so he respectfully bowed instead, and then introduced the women beside him: "Junior Temple Master, due to last night's commotion, we haven't had a proper introduction. This is my mother, my eldest sister-in-law, and my second sister-in-law."
Qin Liuxi nodded and performed a Taoist ceremony: "Infinite Heavenly Venerate."
Since she was a female crown, everyone present was aware and felt more at ease. Having exchanged formal greetings, Mrs. Lin led Qin Liuxi to the Old Lady's sleeping quarters.
