Lei Ce wasn't interested in who would inherit the Marquis of Zhongyong's estate, or whether Ye Zhen was generous or stingy. He interrupted his confidant, "Keep an eye on things tomorrow."

Ye Zhen's roast chickens were indeed for the Marquis of Zhongyong. Last time, he bought roast chickens to cover up the smell of blood, but Chen Qing reported that the Marquis thought they tasted pretty good.

She bought some today and personally delivered them to the Marquis of Zhongyong.

Marquis Zhongyong was looking at a map at his desk when he saw the roast chicken in her hand and smiled. "That's thoughtful of you."

Then he lowered his head and got back to work.

The emperor gave him the opportunity to leave the capital and secretly investigate the matter of the old lady and Fu Jiang, but he also wanted him to suppress bandits, so he needed to understand the situation around Lao Jun Mountain in advance.

“When I’m not in the capital, I’ll leave the household to you.”

If the old lady encounters any difficulties that you cannot handle, then have Tingzhou lend a hand. I will also give him instructions…”

After giving his instructions, seeing that Ye Zhen still showed no sign of leaving, the Marquis of Zhongyong raised his head again and asked, "Did you need something from me?"

Ye Zhen pursed his lips. "Father, I cannot accept the Marquis's estate."

Liu Shi and Xie Yunzhou are dead, Xie Jinyao has received her retribution, and the Marquis of Zhongyong now knows the old lady's true colors and will definitely investigate thoroughly.

She has finally avenged herself at the Marquis's residence. Originally, Ye Zhen wanted to use the power of the Marquis of Zhongyong to settle scores with the Ye family.

But the recent kindness shown by the Marquis of Zhongyong to Ye Zhen made her unable to bear deceiving and taking advantage of him any longer.

She intends to confess.

Just as she was about to speak, Xing Ze arrived. "Young Madam, several children have come to the manor, saying they have urgent business to discuss with you. One of them is injured, with a sword wound..."

Upon hearing about the sword wound, Ye Zhen could no longer speak to Marquis Zhongyong. Seeing her panic and worry, Marquis Zhongyong thought for a moment and followed her.
