Song Qiao stood up immediately and walked outside, with Song Xi quickly following her.
Elder Mu thought for a moment and also stood up, intending to follow. However, just a few steps away from the door, Song Qiao stopped, turned her head back at him, smiled faintly, and spoke, "Grandfather, can I handle this matter myself and resolve it personally? She might have come because of Lu Jingchen, to find me."
Elder Mu was startled, weighed his options, and felt that it was indeed time to trust his granddaughter. He nodded, "Okay."
After Song Qiao and Song Xi had left, Elder Mu turned to Zhang Ma, who had been anxiously waiting, and ordered, "Call your son-in-law and tell him the truth about what happened."
Zhang Ma was taken aback, but then immediately understood the meaning of her master's words and nodded, "Yes, I will call the son-in-law right now."
