Old Madam Lu’s nose tingled, and her eyes reddened.
Tears immediately welled up in her eyes and almost rolled out.
“I’m not going back. None of them are willing to see me. Why should I go back?” Old Madam Lu said in frustration, “Why don’t you just let me die outside? They’ll definitely be delighted for sure.”
She had worked hard for the Lu family all her life.
In the end, she found herself in such a miserable situation, which was truly heart-wrenching!
Jiang Yining had expected her to have such a reaction. “Can’t accept the defeat? We made a bet. At your age, can’t you bear even this? Aren’t you afraid of losing face?”
Jiang Yining sneered, looked outside, and stretched.
“Fine, if you want to be unreasonable, 1 can’t tie you up and bring you back to the Lu family with me. I can’t do anything to you. I’m going out now, shouting to everyone that Old Madam of the Lu family, despite her age, doesn’t keep her word.”
Jiang Yining said and was about to leave.
The maid quickly stopped her and tried to persuade Old Madam Lu.
“Old Madam, aren’t you known for your integrity? Even if you don’t like Young Mistress, you should still keep your promise.”
Old Madam Lu felt a burning frustration inside.
However, she didn’t want Jiang Yining, whom she looked down on to think poorly of her.
“So be it! Suxin, come with me to my room and pack our things.”
“Yes.”
The maid tried to please Jiang Yining and said, “Young Mistress, please wait a little longer.”
“Sure.”
Jiang Yining nodded.
Old Madam Lu and her maid returned to the bedroom.
The tears that she had been holding back for so long finally couldn’t be held back anymore and rolled down.
She sat at the head of the bed and said angrily, “What kind of karma is this? I raised this family of ingrates!”
Su Xin saw this and said while packing up, “Old Madam, it’s not that I’m biased or speaking for others. You were indeed in the wrong in this matter. Think about it, Old Master has been with you for almost a lifetime. Has he ever wronged you? Each time, it’s you who held him tightly in your hands. This time, he couldn’t protect you anymore, especially after what Kexin did, embarrassing our Lu family.”
“Also, Second Young Master and Young Master All Zhi were raised by you and are the closest to you. Whenever you felt even a bit unwell, they would be more anxious than anyone.”
“They are all your closest people. Logically speaking, no matter who goes against you, they should stand by your side immediately to protect you.”
“But now, neither of them is willing to take you back home. Do you still think it’s just their fault?”
Old Madam Lu wiped her tears silently.
Suxin finished packing and brought a warm towel.
She handed it to her.
“Old Madam, 1 am your dowry maid and have followed you for my entire life. Let me say something from the bottom of my heart. No matter how much you love Kexin, you can’t let her surpass the people of our Lu family. They are your true family.”
“This time Young Mistress has suffered a great grievance, but she is willing to take the initiative to invite you back. She also wants the entire Lu family to live in harmony, that’s why she showed weakness to you. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have mentioned this matter, and others wouldn’t blame her.”
Old Madam Lu said with a nasal tone, “She’s deliberately trying to act kind to impress Ah Zhi.”
“No matter what Young Mistress’s purpose is. Just the way she handled things was admirable. In this aspect, Kexin is far inferior to her,” Su Xin said.
One causes embarrassment to the Lu family, while the other thinks of the overall well-being of the Lu family.
The contrast was too obvious.
No wonder everyone in the Lu family had a complete turnaround in their attitude toward Jiang Yining after this incident.
Old Madam Lu understood what Suxin meant.
She couldn’t utter a single negative word about Jiang Yining anymore.
Su Xin saw the change in Old Madam’s expression and knew that she had heard her words.
She smiled and said, “Alright, stop crying. Let’s go home first. Old Madam, when you go back this time, you can’t throw a tantrum and get angry with Old Master again. Let’s get through this hurdle first, and we can discuss the future later.”
Old Madam Lu nodded.
Jiang Yining waited in the living room for a long time.
Just as she was speculating that Old Madam Lu had changed her mind and was unwilling to go back with her…
But then, Old Madam Lu and the maid walked out.
“Young Mistress, sorry to keep you waiting. I’m old and my hands and feet are not agile, so it’s slow to pack things.”
“It’s okay. I don’t have anything to do today.”
Jiang Yining stepped forward and offered to help with the luggage.
Suxin shook her head. “Young Mistress, you can’t do that. Let me handle it.”
“You’re getting old. It’s not convenient for you to carry so many things. I’m young and in good health. 1 won’t be tired even if I carry a few pieces of luggage.” Jiang Yining said, “Besides, Grandma left because she was angry with me. I have to show my filial piety to make her not mad at me.”
She said this in a somewhat chilly tone as if deliberately provoking.
However, Su Xin knew she was joking.
Old Madam Lu glared at her angrily. She held the maid’s hand and said, “Suxin, don’t mind her. She loves to show off, just let her be.”
Su Xin smiled helplessly.
Old Madam seemed to become more childish as she aged.
She had to go along with it.
Jiang Yining didn’t mind Old Madam Lu’s cold words.
She remained calm and composed, keeping pace.
The three of them took a car back to the Lu family’s residence.
As soon as they got off, the housekeeper was dumbfounded to see Old Madam Lu.
After a few seconds of being stunned, he said, “Old Madam, you’re back?”
Old Madam Lu said irritable, “Yes, I’m back. You all seem to wish 1 never come home again, don’t you?”
The housekeeper was speechless.
This temper is really something.
Old Madam Lu didn’t want to argue with the housekeeper.
She was even more unwilling to stand in the courtyard and be surrounded by so many people.
With a straight face, she returned to her courtyard with Suxin.
Jiang Yining had completed her mission. She smiled and said to the housekeeper, “Take good care of Old Madam. Also, give Grandpa a call and let him know.”
The housekeeper was speechless.
Young Mistress actually brought Old Madam back without informing Old Master in advance?
That takes some nerve!
However, what’s even more miraculous is that Old Madam agreed!
This was even more challenging than getting Old Master’s approval.
The housekeeper admired Jiang Yining even more.
Jiang Yining didn’t explain further.
She left the residence leisurely..
