The old lady was anxious. "How could he be so reckless, running to two different places in one day? Once people find out, they'll definitely guess what's going on."

The barbarian reassured him, "Don't worry, Lord Fu is always cautious in his actions, so no one should have noticed."

The old lady was still uneasy. "Has the Marquis returned?"

The servant replied, "He's back, but he only spoke a few words with the young master before leaving again, saying there was something going on in the camp."

When the Marquis of Zhongyong left home, he was careful not to let anyone know that he was going to the horse farm, so the servants in the old lady's courtyard could not find out his true whereabouts.

The old lady's son never played tricks on her, so she had no suspicions.

"Where is the Crown Prince?"

The old lady was most worried about Xie Tingzhou.

The children of the past, like their fathers, possessed the sincerity of warriors; to put it bluntly, they were single-minded and didn't think too much about the complexities of life.

After years of training on the border, the old lady found that he was still straightforward, but had become much more shrewd.

The servant stammered, "The young master went to the Mo Academy as soon as he returned to the manor, and I have no way of knowing what's going on inside."

The Mo Academy is guarded both inside and out, making it very difficult for outsiders to find out anything about what's going on inside.

Seeing the old lady's unease, the barbarian asked, "Should I sneak in and check the situation?"

The old lady thought for a moment and shook her head. "Wait a little longer."

She was aware of the defenses of the Mo Academy and worried that if the barbarian slaves went in, they might not be able to come out quietly.

If the barbarian slave's abilities are exposed, Xie Bang will likely suspect why she, as the mother, would conceal the maid's skills.

Sometimes, a lack of trust can lead to a lot of unnecessary trouble.

But she was still worried and instructed, "Be more alert these days and pay attention to their expressions and movements."

These three naturally refer to Marquis Zhongyong, Xie Tingzhou, and Ye Zhen.

The three people she was wary of, after finishing their own business, all rushed to the Marquis's residence.

Ye Zhen and Xie Tingzhou returned to their residence first.

When they parted, Xie Tingzhou told Ye Zhen, "The people from the manor won't arrive until around noon, so you don't need to get up too early."

Ye Zhen nodded, "Thank you for your help this evening, brother."

She originally intended for Zhuang Tou to discover the matter and then report it, but Xie Tingzhou left Fu Guang behind, instructing him to lead people to the tomb raiding site at dawn.

Ye Zhen knew this was a safer approach, so he thanked her.

Xie Tingzhou smiled and said, "We're all in the same boat, why be so formal?"

That strange feeling returned, and Ye Zhen suddenly dared not linger any longer. He curtsied and turned to return to his own courtyard.

Marquis Zhongyong didn't return until almost noon. He was a dutiful military officer. After finishing his personal matters, he went to the military camp and dealt with the affairs there before returning home to wash up and change his clothes.

Ye Zhen arrived right after we finished lunch.

“Father, a report came from the village that a grave nearby has been robbed. According to his description, the place should be Yunzhou.”

The Marquis of Zhongyong did not hide from Ye Zhen where he buried the body.

Ye Zhen looked somewhat uneasy, "But there wasn't anything valuable in that tomb, so how did it attract the attention of tomb robbers, and now the corpse is gone..."
