Master Yue saw the Second Young Master Lai return, and Lady Lai also arrived. His heart was relieved, and he continued standing silently.
"Old Master." Lady Lai called out to Lord Lai, startling him.
He looked at Lady Lai, finally willing to approach him.
"Why has the lady come?" Lord Lai asked, his voice softer than before.
Lady Lai said, "I have a few words to say to the Old Master today. Can the Old Master listen to me?"
Lord Lai slightly furrowed his brow, fearing Lady Lai might speak unpleasant words. But since she rarely sought him out, he pondered for a moment and eventually nodded in agreement: "Please speak, Lady."
Lady Lai said, "The Old Master repays kindness and wants to look after the benefactor's descendants, which is correct. However, everything requires timing. At this moment, keeping the Old Gu Family at the residence does not help them but harms them."
"Lady, what do you mean by this?" asked Lord Lai.
