“That’s right.” Granny Hu nodded in confirmation.
Bai Yujing said in a deep voice, "Huaiyu, you don't need to go. I'll go and explain to my father-in-law."
Jiang Huaiyu shook her head gently, her tone calm: "Never mind, let's go and see first. It's just a ritual; if it can exorcise evil, it can exorcise evil; if not, it's just for peace of mind. It won't affect me much."
