Chapter 64

That morning, Banggeng was set to be discharged from the hospital and return to the Siheyuan. Everyone in the compound was present, except for He Yuzhu. Second Uncle and Third Uncle kept a low profile, no longer stepping forward. Xu Damao, having lost his composure after discovering he had lost certain abilities, was utterly at a loss. With the three leaders of the second generation having lost their influence and no one left to mention them, Old Yi naturally became the new head of the compound. Banggeng’s return brought joy not only to Qin Huairu’s family but also to Old Yi, who felt genuinely relieved. Old Yi’s greatest wish was for the peace and tranquility of the entire compound. Even though Banggeng had committed such a mistake, Old Yi, while disapproving, viewed it as a childish error—something that could still be remedied. Therefore, upon learning of Banggeng’s impending return, Old Yi immediately began preparations.
