Jiang Jin smiled wordlessly. However, there was a touch of frost to her smile. She patted Gao Wen’s hand and said, “Let’s not talk about this anymore. Each family has its own difficulties. The doctor said you should stay in the hospital for two days for observation. I’ve already asked someone to inform Master Ye and Young Master Ye. You should take care of yourself.”

When Jiang Jin rose to her feet and was about to leave, Gao Wen hurriedly said, “Old Madam, I beg you not to make things difficult for the Young Madam. Don’t let them get a divorce. S-she… She’ll definitely change for the better.”

Jiang Jin did not say anything and turned around to walk out.

Gao Wen called out anxiously, “Old Madam!”

When Gao Wen saw there was no response from Jiang Jin, she gritted her teeth and said, “Old Madam, as long as you don’t make things difficult for the Young Madam, I won’t tell anyone that you secretly imprisoned the Young Madam at home.”

Jiang Jin stopped in her tracks but did not turn around.

Gao Wen’s attitude grew firmer as she said, “Old Madam, out of everyone, you must care about the Mu family’s reputation the most, right? Currently, Mu Chen is at the height of his power. I’m sure you don’t want his reputation to have even the slightest flaw, right? Old Madam, I’m a very discreet person. I won’t say anything as long as you promise to treat the Young Madam well…”

Nearing the end of her words, Gao Wen’s grew softer.

Jiang Jin turned around and glanced at Gao Wen. Her expression was unreadable as she asked, “Is Madam Ye threatening me?”

Gao Wen hastily shook her head. “No, no, no, that’s not what I mean.”

Jiang Jin’s smile turned cold. “It doesn’t matter what you mean. There’s something I’m curious about. I locked Song Ning in the room so how did Madam Ye get in? That’s my home, after all.”

With that, Jiang Jin left the room.

Gao Wen was stunned. When she recovered her senses, she fell limply against the bed.

‘What do I do? What about Xinxin?’

The Mu family was a place that devoured people whole without even leaving bones behind. Now that Jiang Jin said she wanted Mu Chen and Ye Xin to get a divorce, it meant that they planned to abandon Ye Xin. They could not tolerate the change in ‘Song Ning’. She did not know what she should do now.

‘Xinxin is right. Where’s she going to go if she leaves the Mu family? How’s she going to live?’

Gao Wen felt as though all her internal organs were burning as all these thoughts appeared in her mind.

…

Ye Xin sat in Ning Zhe’s study, crying. Tissue littered the floor. She kept saying through her tears, “Dad, I really didn’t mean to do that, but Grandma locked me up!”

Ning Zhe’s heart ached. He spent a lot of time comforting her before he said, “Don’t cry. It’ll be fine. The Old Madam was just momentarily angry. As long as you sincerely repent, she’ll definitely forgive you.”

Ning Zhe was very happy that his daughter had grown dependent on him during this period of time. After all, for more than ten years, he did not get to enjoy this kind of father-and-daughter relationship. Currently, his daughter no longer treated him as an outsider. She was no longer courteous with him in regard to money.

He was very happy. He did not expect that after scheming for so long to get Zhuang Ji, things would suddenly become so easy. His daughter easily agreed to let him send someone to help her. With this, it was only a matter of time before he achieved his goal.

After giving birth, Ning Xia was like a different person. She was no longer hostile like before. He was truly grateful to the baby. Hence, he asked, “What about the baby? How’s he? Was he frightened?”

Ye Xin stopped sobbing and angrily said, “Why wouldn’t he be okay? The entire family treats him like some precious and rare treasure!”

Ning Zhe could not help but frown. Although he was happy his daughter was acting spoiled with him and treated him like her father, her uncaring manner was not her at all.

Ning Xia had always been sensible since she was a child. The Zhuang family was a scholarly family, and Zhuang Ji had raised Ning Xia very meticulously. As a result, Ning Xia’s temperament had been very outstanding since she was young.. She was never as uncaring as she was now
