Yining and Ah Zhi were clever, managing to evade trouble again and again. However, who could guarantee that they could continue to avoid it smoothly? In case they fell into Chen Kexin’s trap, their small family would fall apart.
Ultimately, it came down to the fact that he had been too weak and indecisive in the past.
So, this time, he steeled himself and confronted his wife head-on.
Old Master Lu finished speaking, turned his back, and didn’t look at Old Madam Lu.
Old Madam Lu stood there, feeling a pang of pain in her heart.
After a while, she left, feeling utterly disoriented.
When she couldn’t hear any sounds from behind, Old Master Lu turned around. Not finding the familiar figure, he breathed a long sigh and walked over to the sofa to sit down.

Old Madam Lu, all alone on the hill, sat for a long time.
She thought about a lot of things.
Then, she made up her mind.
She made a call to the housekeeper to arrange for Chen Kexin’s study abroad procedures and other matters.
This time, she must send Kexin away.
Chen Kexin returned to her room without changing out of her wet clothes from the previous night and went straight to bed. When she woke up the next day, she had a high fever.
She felt feverish and lethargic, struggling even to get out of bed.
The servants called a doctor to attend to her, but she refused to take the medication.
With no other option, they went to inform Old Madam Lu about the situation.
Chen Kexin huddled under the covers, consumed by a self-destructive thought. Since she could never be with Lu Zhi in this lifetime, why not just end it all?
Old Madam Lu received the news and walked over to Chen Kexin, her steps faltering. She instructed the servants to bring Kexin’s dry clothes. She then personally helped her change and wiped her face clean.
As she looked at the pitiful Kexin, Old Madam Lu thought back to many years ago.
In that winter, Ah Zhi had been pushed into a pond by an unknown person. Nobody knew what happened except for Kexin, who found the nearly lifeless Ah Zhi and bravely jumped into the pond to rescue him. She was so small, yet she managed to pull Ah Zhi, who was much bigger, to safety.
Afterward, both children fell seriously ill.
Kexin had always been frail, and she had a dangerously high fever.
Because of that, she was incredibly fond of Kexin.
Whatever Kexin wanted, Old Madam Lu would do her best to provide…
How did such an obedient and sensible child turn into what she was now?
Old Madam Lu’s eyes reddened as she gently stroked Kexin’s hair. She said, “Xin’er, don’t blame Grandma for being harsh. Grandma is doing this for your own good.”
Kexin was in a state of obsession, and if she wasn’t sent away promptly, she was afraid she might commit even greater wrongdoings.
Old Madam Lu didn’t want this child to be ruined.
She quietly stayed by Chen Kexin’s side the whole night.
The next day, the housekeeper had made all the necessary arrangements, including buying an apartment abroad.
Once Chen Kexin went there, she could move in and start her studies.
Since Chen Kexin’s condition had improved somewhat, Old Madam Lu ordered for her to be sent abroad.
Before departing, Chen Kexin cried and made a fuss, refusing to board the plane.
But who could indulge her in this situation?
Plus, she was unwell and had no energy left to resist.
So, she was carried directly onto the plane.
As she watched Chen Kexin depart, Old Madam Lu felt deflated.
She turned around, got in a car, closed her eyes, and tiredly said, “Let’s go back to the old mansion. I’ll pack some things, and we’ll move to another estate.”

After the wedding, the two of them spent two days on the island before returning to the old mansion with Old Master Lu.
Old Master Lu had been in a bad mood.
They both tried to cheer him up.
At noon, the three of them had lunch together. Jiang Yining accompanied Old Master Lu to play chess, while Lu Zhi sat nearby.
As they became engrossed in the game, they heard a commotion from the living room and, almost instinctively, turned to look.
They saw Old Madam Lu, who walked in with a stern expression.
Old Master Lu put down the chess pieces in his hand and asked, “Why have you come back?”
“I’ve returned to pack my things. Don’t worry. I’ve already sent Kexin away, and I’ll leave on my own. I won’t be a bother to you,” Old Madam Lu said angrily. “Kexin has been sent away? When did this happen?” Old Master Lu asked.
Old Madam Lu snorted and didn’t reply, continuing to arrange her belongings with the help of her staff.
Old Master Lu didn’t step forward to stop her but clearly showed his upset.
He had driven away his wife for the sake of the younger generation, but he couldn’t help but feel reluctant. They had been together for over half a lifetime and had raised so many children. This kind of bond couldn’t be compared to anyone else.
Jiang Yining and Lu Zhi noticed Old Master Lu’s thoughts, but Lu Zhi didn’t say anything.
Jiang Yining understood that Lu Zhi was doing this for her, given that Old Madam Lu had caused so many problems recently, all aimed at her.
Now that Old Madam Lu was leaving, the entire Lu family, and even others, wouldn’t dare to trouble her anymore.
Jiang Yining looked at the grandfather and grandson in front of her and said softly, “Grandfather, the troublemaker is gone, so don’t let Grandma leave too. Her health isn’t good, and if she’s alone outside and something happens, we won’t be there. What should we do then?”
“Yining, it’s good that you’re understanding, but your grandfather won’t be so foolish. If she wants to go, let her go; no one should stop her,” Old Master Lu said firmly.
Jiang Yining still wanted to persuade him.
Lu Zhi held her hand and said, “Grandma can go and stay away for a few days. After some time, when everyone’s anger has subsided, we can bring her back.”
She was willing to bear this injustice herself, but he wasn’t willing to see his wife being mistreated.
This matter had to be resolved.
Grandmother was indeed an elder, and her affection for him was genuine.
But one should not consistently rely on age to mistreat the younger generation.
Lu Zhi wanted his grandmother to reflect on her wrongdoings.
So, they firmly decided not to interfere with Old Madam Lu.
“Listen to Ah Zhi,” Old Master Lu also said.
With both of them expressing the same sentiment, Jiang Yining couldn’t possibly intervene or make a strong effort to stop Old Madam Lu.
So…
When Old Madam Lu had packed up all her belongings and walked out.
The three of them were still leisurely playing chess.
Not a single person looked at her directly.
Old Master Lu even added nonchalantly, “While you’re staying outside, remember to take your medicine on time. If you need anything, feel free to inform the family, and we’ll have someone deliver it to you.”
Old Madam Lu, upon hearing this, stomped her foot in anger.
She must leave immediately!
Not a single second could be wasted!
