In her previous life, the old lady never returned to the capital, but in this life, Liu Shi has lost power, Xie Jinyao has been punished, and Xie Yunzhou's affairs are being spread in a bad way. The old lady will probably not sit idly by.
Marquis Zhongyong is a filial son. If the old lady supports Liu again, Marquis Zhongyong may well give Liu another chance.
But if Marquis Zhongyong saw that Lady Liu had taught all the children to be unruly and that the household was in complete disarray.

A slight struggle arose within Chaolu.
She was still young and had been overly protected by her two older brothers, so her thoughts were easily seen through.
Ye Zhen handed her a plate of pastries and coaxed her gently, "Zhao Lu, now we're in the same boat. Tell me, what is the young lady's secret?"
