The person who took him away was his wet nurse.

While he was eavesdropping outside the door, the wet nurse also came over.

Because he often went to his mother's courtyard during that period, his wet nurse, who had been taking care of him, also came to his mother's courtyard when she wanted to find him.

I could also hear the conversation inside from the doorway.

Therefore, for his safety, when the wet nurse saw him about to rush in, fearing that he would be retaliated against by the Lady of the Marquis, she decisively took him away.

They secretly carried him to his yard and into his room before putting him down.

After putting him down, the first thing I did was to close the door tightly.

After he was put down, he wanted to rush out again, ignoring his wet nurse's attempts to stop him, and wanted to find his mother.

"Young master, please don't move," the nanny said, holding him tightly in her arms. Her face showed worry and anxiety.

"Let me go! I want to go find my mother!" He struggled incessantly in his wet nurse's arms, but because he was still young, he couldn't break free no matter what he did.

His face still bore traces of anger and grief.

"Young master, listen to what the wet nurse has to say."

"Going there now won't help; it will only harm you!" the wet nurse said earnestly, her face showing worry and her voice filled with seriousness.

"But, but where is my mother?" After hearing the wet nurse's words, he naturally knew that going there now would only lead to his death.

However, out of concern for his mother, he still wanted to go find her.

"Young master, if Madam finds out, she won't let you go."

“Right now, we have no power to fight against that woman. The only way to escape our current predicament is to hide ourselves,” the nanny continued, her face still showing a hint of seriousness.

She and the young master were one, and if something happened to the young master, she probably wouldn't fare well either.

"Furthermore, if the Marquis is also standing behind that woman, we can't afford to fight a losing battle!" the wet nurse added, her voice serious.

"So you're just going to ignore it?!" he retorted angrily, his voice tinged with helplessness and resentment.

“Young master, you are still too young. If any woman enters the Marquis’s mansion in the future, we will have no choice but to hide her.”

"Otherwise, we might end up like Madam," the wet nurse added, her face showing a hint of seriousness and fear.

Just then, as he was filled with anger, a voice suddenly came from outside the courtyard.

"Young Master!"

"Young Master!"

"Oh no! The lady has passed away!" The voice was filled with panic and confusion.

Upon hearing this, his face showed shock and grief!

Upon hearing this, the wet nurse subconsciously relaxed her grip.

At that moment, he forcefully shook off the wet nurse's hand, opened the door, and ran out into the yard.

His wet nurse followed closely behind him.

"Young Master, Madam has passed away," the servant called out again as he saw him, a trace of sorrow still on his face.

"Mother!" He then shook off the crowd and ran quickly toward his mother's courtyard.

When he ran to his mother's courtyard, there were already many servants kneeling and wailing outside the door.

Upon entering the room, they found Lady Hou still weeping sadly, her face etched with grief.

His father was also in the room at that moment, and he looked somewhat sad.

Then, he prepared to pounce on his mother.

However, he was stopped by the underground men.

After his father saw him come in, he ordered the servants not to let him get close to his mother.

Soon after, under his father's direction, his mother was placed in a coffin, and white silk was hung in the mansion.

During this time, he tried several times to expose the true nature of the Lady Hou, but each time he was stopped by the wet nurse who was always watching his condition.

After his mother's burial, he gradually calmed down.

Not long after, Lady Hou married into the Hou family.

After she married into the family, in order to prevent being plotted against by the Lady of the Marquis, he pretended to be sick in advance, attempting to get away with it.

Of course, in the end, they successfully fooled Lady Hou's eyes.

And so they kept up this act for twenty years.

Over the years, he pretended to be sick, but secretly he was developing his power!

Now the Marquis's mansion is finally under his control!

Thinking of this, the eldest son of the Marquis's mansion looked intently at the Marquis's wife in front of him.

"Since you already know, then I have nothing more to say."

"I only regret that I didn't discover your true nature back then, and that you deceived me."

"Otherwise, we wouldn't have ended up like this today," the Marquis said coldly, a hint of regret in his voice.

"It's all your fault for being heartless first. If you hadn't harmed my mother back then, things wouldn't be like this today."

The eldest son of the Marquis's mansion then spoke, his face showing a hint of indifference. His voice was even colder.

After speaking, the eldest son of the Marquis's mansion left the room.

As for Lady Hou, she will no longer exist tomorrow!

As she watched the departing figure of the eldest son of the Marquis's mansion, Lady Hou collapsed onto the bed with a face full of hatred and regret.

His face showed a hint of resentment!

But not long after, Lady Hou stopped breathing. In her final moments, her eyes blinked rapidly a few times before slowly closing.

After dealing with the Lady of the Marquis and the second son of the Marquis's mansion, the eldest son of the Marquis's mansion remained indifferent, his expression revealing a hint of loneliness.

Then I thought of the female protagonist who was currently under house arrest in the room.

They walked towards the courtyard where the female protagonist was.

His face carried a complex and cold expression.

They soon arrived at the house where the female protagonist was.

Upon arrival, the eldest son of the Marquis's mansion signaled to his subordinates, and then the main gate was opened from the outside, allowing him to enter.

Meanwhile, the female protagonist in the room looked flustered and anxious.

She didn't realize that she had already told the second son of the Marquis's family about the eldest son's feigned illness.

Through the words of the second young master of the Marquis's mansion, the Marquis's wife must have also learned about it.

The female protagonist was quite surprised that neither of them could defeat the eldest son of the Marquis's mansion despite their combined efforts.

She ultimately underestimated the strength of the eldest son of the Marquis's mansion.

As the female protagonist was still thinking about what to do next, she saw the door being opened from the outside.

Then, the eldest son of the Marquis's mansion walked in.

When the female protagonist saw the eldest son of the Marquis's mansion, she hurriedly went forward.

"Husband, you...you can stand up?!"

"That's wonderful!" The female lead then looked at the eldest son of the Marquis's mansion with feigned excitement, her voice tinged with a hint of exhilaration. A smile also appeared on her face.

"My lord, I was very worried about your safety when I was suddenly locked in the house. Now that you are well, I am relieved."

The female lead said with a worried expression. Her voice revealed her deep concern for the eldest son of the Marquis's mansion.

The eldest son of the Marquis's mansion, who had just entered, watched the female lead's performance with a somber expression. A cold glint flashed in his eyes.

Then, he forcefully shook off the woman who was grabbing his sleeve.

The female lead was also thrown to the ground!
