The housekeeper didn't argue, followed his instructions to a tee and asked Old Madam Lu to return home.
Old Madam Lu had expected Lu Zhi's refusal to see her, so she said firmly, "Tell Ah Zhi that if he doesn't see me today, I'll wait here until he's willing to see me!"
"Old Madam, why are you doing this?"
"Just tell him what I told you. Don't worry about anything else!" Old Madam Lu replied sternly.
The housekeeper could only relay the message truthfully to the young master.
"The old madam is probably here today because of Chen Kexin," Jiang Yining said with understanding. "Why don't you meet with her? She's a frail old lady after all. If she falls ill from standing outside, it will be our fault."
"No need," Lu Zhi outright rejected her suggestion.
He didn't want to keep indulging the people around him, not even his grandmother.
