Could it be that all the previous praise was fake, and that his wife really did, as Ye Zhen said, arrange the marriage with the Ye family just to cover up Xie Yunzhou's preferences?
After a long silence, he ordered, "Just leave one old woman by the lady's side; everyone else shall return to the capital tomorrow."
Since this is a time for quiet contemplation and recuperation, the diet should be light, with pickled vegetables and radishes being the best for the stomach.
Perhaps only through experiencing it herself can she truly reflect on it.
She should also know that the Marquis of Zhongyong, who holds military power, is not someone she can easily deceive.
Whether the mother and son had committed marriage fraud, the Marquis of Zhongyong did not inquire further about the matter with his wife.
He was almost certain that what Ye Zhen said was true, so his wife had lied just now.
If you ask him again, you'll only get lies.
He even thought that Xie Yunzhou's faked death three years ago was due to his wife's help; otherwise, he wouldn't have been completely unaware of it.
He was disappointed in Lady Hou, and also in Xie Yunzhou.
“My son Yunzhou died three years ago. Although this person looks somewhat similar to him, he is not Xie Yunzhou. Take him out and get rid of him.”
The attendants were shocked, but they didn't dare to bury him casually. They were thinking about finding a good place for the second young master on the estate.
Then the Marquis of Zhongyong gave another order, "Send the scar-removing cream that His Majesty gave back to the young mistress and tell her that the events of the past few days on the estate need not be mentioned again."
He will no longer investigate the true cause of Yunzhou's death.
In the heart of the Marquis of Zhongyong, his son's act of faking his death three years ago was like that of a deserter on the battlefield.
A deserter is not worth wasting time on.
Moreover, when he decided to fake his death three years ago, he had already abandoned his father. He grieved for three years because of this, but they watched him suffer without saying a word.
Then, remembering that Ye Zhen and his servant relied on fantasy to satisfy their cravings, he added a sentence.
"Everyone has had a hard time traveling these days. There are plenty of game in the mountains at this time of year. Let's hunt more to reward the soldiers tonight, and also send some to the young mistress."
This was his way of making amends to Ye Zhen.
But that's all.
The attendant hesitated, "Should we try to reverse those rumors?"
"Ignore it."
No matter how much you do, it will only make things worse to those who care, and it will only add to the hype. It's better to just keep denying it. In time, people will get bored and it will fade away on its own.
Upon receiving the scar removal cream, Ye Zhen knew that the Marquis of Zhongyong believed her and was one step closer to revenge.
Ye Zhen was very happy and expressed his gratitude sincerely, even personally seeing the person to the door.
But when she returned, she saw Xie Tingzhou sitting lazily in her room.
Xie Tingzhou cut to the chase, "You killed the magistrate."
