Cui Yihuan bowed and said, "My lord, tomorrow is the execution of Lady Shu. May I go to witness the execution?"
Marquis Zhongyong has never restricted Cui Yihuan's freedom, so there's no need to come and ask him such questions.
But when she arrived, Marquis Zhongyong knew that Cui Yihuan must have something else to ask him.
He said, "Go if you want, but be careful."
Although the emperor did not reveal the truth of what happened back then, he only said that the daughter of the disgraced official killed the old marquis's wife while he was fighting and took his place.
However, Shu Liuniang did not conceal her crimes, such as murdering Lou Tinglan, and she had previously intended to murder Xie Tingzhou.
The people outside are now cursing Shu Liuniang, and many people will surely gather to watch her execution tomorrow.
In the past, stampedes caused by crowds gathering to watch executions were common, hence his warning.
Cui Yihuan thanked him, and seeing that he had nothing more to say, she took the initiative to say, "Many things have happened in the manor recently, and now the wicked have received their due punishment."
I was thinking, perhaps we should hold a celebratory event to bring good fortune and ensure that things will get better for everyone in the future.”
The Marquis of Loyalty and Valor looked at her and asked, "What do you intend to do?"
Cui Yi smiled and said, "The Marquis's son and the young mistress's birthdays are not at this time, so I thought of the son's marriage."
I've heard that Madam Wang is very fond of the young master. Could you please ask Madam Wang to take a look at the young master's features?
If a suitable one is found, then it will be settled, and the family can then hold the wedding.
After going around in circles, it turned out to be Tingzhou's wedding.
But Cui Yihuan is not his real concubine; their relationship is just a transaction. She will leave in the future, so why should she interfere in Xie Tingzhou's marriage?
Marquis Zhongyong couldn't help but think of the letter Wu Dong had given him, in which he mentioned Cui Yihuan's hatred for Shu Liuniang these days.
Recalling Cui Yihuan's words in her dream, the Marquis of Zhongyong's eyes flickered slightly. "I'm too lazy to bother with his affairs."
It's none of our business.
Cui Yihuan was surprised by his attitude and felt somewhat dissatisfied. "My lord, the young master is not young anymore. Aren't you worried about his marriage?"
How can a father neglect his son? Other children the same age as Tingzhou are already starting their early education.
How exactly did Xie Bang act as a father?
Marquis Zhongyong remained calm and said, "What's the use of me being anxious? If he doesn't want to marry me, can I force him to?"
Even if I force him to marry, I can't force him to live a good life with that girl.
Alright, you don't need to worry about this anymore. If he's happy being alone, I don't think there's anything wrong with that.
Look at me, I was forced to marry Lady Liu, and look what happened to me."
My son won't be as foolish as you.
No, my son is definitely more fortunate than you.
Cui Yihuan was furious.
That bastard Xie Bang not only failed to handle his own marriage and became disillusioned with women, but he also abandoned his own son.
She even compared her Tingzhou to his experience.
Ptooey!
The words of an old senile man don't count; her remaining years in Tingzhou will surely be a thousand times, ten thousand times happier than Xie Bang's.
If she hadn't noticed that her son had feelings for Ye Zhen, she wouldn't have bothered to say these things to this scoundrel.
She didn't mind Ye Zhen's background. After knowing him for so long, she knew he was a good person. He had been tricked into entering the Marquis's mansion by Madam Liu and was still a virgin.
She supports them as long as they genuinely like each other.
However, the fact that the two are the elder brother and younger sister-in-law has not been made public yet, probably because they are worried about worldly opinions, and also because they are afraid that Xie Bang, that bastard, will not agree.
Then the parents have no choice but to plan for their children.
Otherwise, if they keep seeing each other privately, it's hard to guarantee that they won't be discovered. If bad news gets out, it won't look good if they get married again.
She didn't want her child to be talked about behind their back in the future.
Originally, he thought that Xie Bang, the father, and his son would have a good talk. Perhaps Tingzhou would gain his father's favor or be forced by Xie Bang to get married, and then he would tell Xie Bang his secrets.
Who would have thought that Xie Bang, that good-for-nothing old geezer, would not care at all about his son's marriage.
"Your Excellency helped me escape from the Cui family, which is a great kindness to me. I wish to repay Your Excellency."
The young master is the Marquis's only child, which is why I was concerned about his marriage, hoping to ease the Marquis's burden. I never imagined I had been meddling.
She found a reason to show her concern for Xie Tingzhou and continued to harp on that topic.
"But the young master is handsome and elegant. What if a girl truly loves him and wants to spend her life with him? If the Marquis doesn't care about this, wouldn't he be ruining the young master's future?"
When he gets old, he will have no close companions and no children, and his old age will be very lonely.
Or perhaps one day the heir apparent will suddenly have a change of heart and want to get married, and without proper guidance, he might do something shocking or unconventional, which would only add to the Marquis's worries.
Cui Yihuan knew she had said too much and that it would easily arouse suspicion.
But since it concerned her son's important matter, she couldn't worry about it.
After her rebirth, she thought revenge would be a difficult path, but with Ye Zhen and Ting Zhou ahead of her, it was much easier than she had imagined.
She didn't even have to lift a finger, yet her enemies got their comeuppance.
Now, her only wish is for her son to be happy.
But she never dreamed that the Marquis of Zhongyong would respond with a sneer, "You're overthinking it. His disfigured face is enough to scare away most girls. You think a girl would be sincere towards him?"
Enraged, Cui Yihuan stomped her foot on the feet of the Marquis of Zhongyong.
That bastard Xie Bang, his son is already unfortunate enough to be disfigured, how dare he say such things about him.
"Ah, there's a bug!"
She screamed and stomped down again.
I'll crush you, you old bastard, and stomp you to death.
Marquis Zhongyong gasped in pain, but a knowing look was hidden in his eyes.
He seemed to have confirmed something.
At the same time, she wondered if Cui Yihuan's eagerness to talk to her about Tingzhou's marriage meant that Tingzhou's affair with that married woman had been discovered.
We need to ask Tingzhou about this later; this matter really can't be delayed any longer.
Unaware that the Marquis of Zhongyong was deliberately testing her, Cui Yihuan hurriedly stepped back.
"My lord, please forgive me. I saw some insects crawling on your feet and, out of concern, I instinctively tried to stomp them to death for you. I accidentally hurt you. I didn't mean to."
Before Marquis Zhongyong could react, she turned and left, saying, "It was my fault for meddling. I will go back and reflect on my actions."
Xie Bang is such an unreliable bastard, there's no point in her coming to him.
Watching the departing figure in a flurry of activity, the Marquis of Loyalty and Valor shook his foot.
How angry must she be to use such force on him? His toes must be swollen.
But the more this is the case, the more problems arise.
Marquis Zhongyong went to Xie Tingzhou's room and asked, "How did you and Ye Zhen know that Tinglan was suffocated by Shu Liuniang?"
The play in the palace was a scheme orchestrated by Xie Tingzhou and Ye Zhen. When Ye Zhen revealed the truth about Tinglan's murder in the palace, he subconsciously felt that Xie Tingzhou had uncovered it.
Seeing Cui Yihuan's reaction just now, he had a different idea.
Xie Tingzhou didn't hide it from him; he told Marquis Zhongyong about Cui Yihuan pretending to be a ghost to scare the old lady.
Why didn't you mention it in your letter?
Wu Dong didn't know either, otherwise he would have written to inform him.
Xie Tingzhou showed no remorse whatsoever, "It's not too late for you to know now."
