Lu Xinghe's grandfather and the patriarch of the Lu family. He is nearly sixty years old. He initially refused to split the family but eventually agreed due to pressure from his sons and daughters-in-law. He insists that Yun Cuihe's family (the third son's family) should receive a share in the separation, arguing that the third son was a capable scholar who brought tax exemptions to the family and that Yun Cuihe raised his three grandchildren alone. He is described as emotional and fair-minded.
