Li and Lu were talking together when Lu Qiqi walked towards them.
"I clearly remember putting it under the table, how could it be gone!" Mrs. Li said anxiously.
For once, Madam Lu didn't choke up as she spoke. She said, "Think about it carefully again. Although it's not much, it belongs to the public after all. If it gets lost, we won't be able to explain ourselves!"

Lu Qiqi calculated that the lost incense powder was enough to make quite a few charcoal cakes.
