It would be fine if no one mentioned it normally, but now that it's been brought up again, it's even involved a scandal!
No matter how outrageous their usual antics are, as long as they're not brought into the open, it's all fine. But now that they've been exposed to the light of day, the outcome is entirely different.
Then, while Zhou Fushan was away from the mansion, that person arranged to meet his own son, the second young master of the Zhou family, his daughter, Aunt Hua, and his old lover, Lady Hou Zuoyu.
I forgot to mention earlier that because of her favored status, Consort Hua has been targeted by the former favorite concubine, Zuo Yu, ever since she was brought into the household.
Because she herself rose to power as a favored concubine, she was most afraid that her beauty would fade and the emperor's favor would wane, so she was naturally extra wary of any successor.
Yue Fuguang nodded and said, "That's true. If she can walk this path, others can too."
That's why he called them together to mediate. On one side was his old lover, on the other was his daughter, and standing by was his 'son' who was completely oblivious to the situation.

Judging by the time, he should have already succeeded in his research and handed the physical object to his father, Zhou Fushan, so that his father could report it to the imperial court. However, in order to give credit to his second son, Zhou Fushan gave the object to his most favored son.
Zhou Lao Er discovered the potential of this thing for use on the battlefield and told his own father about it.
His father was greatly impressed after seeing the item and also believed that if it were further improved, it would become a powerful weapon on the battlefield.
Thus, due to the machinations of Lady Hou (Zuo Yu), the eldest son of the Zhou family will be kicked out of the house by Zhou Fushan for forcing his stepmother, Concubine Hua, and the matter of reporting it will be forgotten by him.
