The only thing to do now was to sacrifice Ji Linghui alone.

Ji Linghui was the one who caused this trouble.
Why should the entire family be dragged down along with her?

She clenched her teeth and made the decision to head to the Grand Duke Mansion.

Ji Lingxiu was clear that she was not in a position to see Lu Liangwei.

Grand Duke Mansion.

Chu Jiu was accompanying the Dowager Duchess and chatting with her when the servants informed her that Ji Lingxiu wanted to see her.

Chu Jiu was surprised and turned to look at Lu Tingchen.


Lu Tingchen frowned.
“What do you mean by looking at me?”
Chu Jiu coughed gently.
“Nothing.
I’m just curious about why she would want to see me.”

“Mother, isn’t Third Miss Ji the youngest daughter of Duke Ji? What does she want with you?” Lu Xue asked curiously.

Even though she rarely left the house, both families lived nearby and she had seen Ji Lingxiu a couple of times before.

Chu Jiu shook her head.
“I have no idea either.” She paused and looked at Lu Tingchen’s handsome face, which was still able to attract unwanted attention, and continued casually, “You might have to ask your father this question instead.”

Lu Xue looked at Lu Tingchen.
“Father, do you know Third Miss Ji very well?”

Lu Tingchen met Chu Jiu’s unhappy gaze and quickly denied this.
“I don’t.
I don’t even remember what she looks like, how could I know her well?”


Lu Hetian put his cup of tea down when he saw this and gave his son a slightly condescending look.
Only his son, Lu Tingchen, would be so useless as to be so afraid of his wife!

Lu Tingchen sensed his father’s vaguely concealed condescending look and sniggered silently.
He was pretty confident to do so when he must have forgotten how much he was afraid of his wife too.

Ling Lihua glared at father and son when she saw them staring down at each other and turned to Chu Jiu.
“Do you need me to accompany you to see her, Jiu?”

Ji Lingxiu had chased after Lu Tingchen all the way to the frontier all those years ago.
Now that she was suddenly asking for Chu Jiu, could she still be hung up on Lu Tingchen?

It has been more than a decade.

Chu Jiu shook her head and stood up.
“It’s fine.
You should accompany Grandmother longer, Mother.
I’ll see her on my own.”
