"My daughter and grandchild owe their lives to you, and the Old Madam of the Luo Family has been longing to meet you in person to express her gratitude. Please excuse me, as I don't have anything worthy with me at the moment, but I've always held this bracelet dear. So, I hope you don't mind accepting it" said Madame Luo, as she took off a well-crafted bracelet from her wrist and slid it onto Lin Ziyin's wrist.
Lin Ziyin was somewhat at a loss. One of the cultural quirks of the ancient times was the routine gifting from the affluent people she encountered. Truth be told, she did not like secondhand items, even if they were of great value. She just wasn't fond of them.
However, facing Madame Luo's eager gaze, she simply couldn't muster up the courage to refuse.
"You should accept it," whispered Miss Luo into her ear.
"Thank you, Madame." Left with no choice, Lin Ziyin put up a brave face and accepted the gift.
