News of the elder Lu's passing spread quickly, with many prominent figures from the Imperial Capital rushing to offer their condolences.
The body was laid in state for three days, so the elder Lu's funeral was also set for three days later.
Lu Zhengyuan and Lu Xingye were responsible for the vigil, while Ge Weihong and Lu Sirong, having been exiled abroad, did not obtain Lu Xingye's permission and were unable to return to the country to attend the elder Lu's funeral.
Everything was managed by Lu Xingye, with the elder Lu's funeral conducted with great pomp and solemnity.
With his status now unlike days past, wearing the mantle of President of Shengxi, many important figures participated in the elder Lu's funeral to curry favor with him.
Yu Chiyin accompanied Lu Fengxuan to the memorial hall to offer their sympathy; the two met with Lu Xingye, but none exchanged more than necessary polite words.
