"Uncle, my elder brother hasn't shown up either. Has something unexpected happened?" The one who spoke was the eldest son of the Bei Zhong family, the future head of the family. He was not Zhong Yizhan's biological son, but the eldest son of his second brother. His eldest son was the governor of the three northeastern provinces and had been serving in the province for many years. Originally, he was sent to be summoned back, but he did not show up at this time.
Shaking his head, he said, "That tyrant wants to deal with my Beiding Prefecture, so naturally he won't let your brother go. I hope he's safe. As for Wei Caitao, hmph."
He didn't really trust Wei Caitao, after all, Wei Caitao was the son-in-law of the Xiao Zhong family, not the Bei Zhong family.
"It's a pity that my aunt can't contribute to the family. My fourth cousin actually raised such a rebellious daughter. It's a misfortune for the family." The group felt a burning hatred when they thought of Sun Zhongshi being locked up in the inner quarters by Sun Yun. They wished they could tear Sun Yun to pieces.
“The Sun family is finished. I just hope the palace can play a role,” Zhong Yizhan said.
"It's been so long without any news. It seems that woman can no longer influence Emperor Mingde. She's truly useless."
One after another, neither of them had a good way to break the deadlock, and they all pinned their hopes on foreign aid. Zhong Yizhan felt sad and unwilling. The Zhong family had been passed down for generations, but in the end, they had lost to a peasant. He was really unwilling!
Meanwhile, Wei Caitao was being held in a house. "Wei Qing, how dare you betray your master! Let me out right now!" he angrily cursed.
Wei Qing stood at the door like a statue. "Master, the young master has ordered that you cannot go anywhere."
"You unfilial son! You unfilial son! Does he want to kill his father? Wei Qing, ask yourself, how have I treated you all this time? How could you betray your master with such a black heart?" Wei Caitao had been imprisoned here for several days, and he would curse him several times every day before he would stop.
Each time, Wei Qing would reply, "While the master is still alive, this servant obeys the master's orders and follows the eldest son's commands. This servant has not betrayed his master."
Wei Caitao was incredibly clever. During the time he was imprisoned by Wei Qing, he had already figured it out. When Wei Qing led his men to the Sun family on business, all of Yang Zhong's men died, while Wei Qing and his men were unharmed. At the time, he thought the Sun family was sowing discord, but he never expected that there was an inside traitor.
Moreover, the traitor was his son!
