Ye Zhen guessed that they wanted to use this incident against her.
Therefore, Ye Zhen took the initiative to strike first.
It is true that Ye Wantang concealed Wang's affair, with the intention of making the world condemn Ye Zhen for being unfilial when it was mentioned later.
Outsiders won't delve into whether the Ye family actually informed Ye Zhen; they'll just parrot what others say and criticize Ye Zhen.
Unexpectedly, Ye Zhen blurted it out in public.
Ye Wantang wondered if Ye Zhen was doing this on purpose.
Then Ye Zhen said, "Is it because Mother knew I was injured and didn't want me to worry that she asked me to keep it a secret?"
Ye Zhen's face was filled with emotion. "I knew Mother still loved me. I'm going to see her now. Mother, Zhen'er is back..."
She abandoned Ye Wantang and ran towards the inner courtyard.
His steps were a little unsteady, whether from the injury or from rushing, it was hard to tell.
Among the onlookers, some couldn't help but say, "Ye Zhen was injured after rolling down the mountain, so why isn't the Ye family going to see her?"
Even Wang's health problems were kept from Ye Zhen. Was she really afraid of Ye Zhen's wrath?
But she is, after all, his own biological daughter. He abandoned her on the estate for over a decade, and now that they live in the capital, he has no contact with her. Isn't that a bit heartless?
Ye Wantang heard these words and felt anger and doubt in her eyes. She wondered if Ye Zhen was doing it on purpose or if he was genuinely worried about Wang Shi.
When she saw Ye Zhen showing concern and care for Wang Shi with eyes full of heartache, she became uncertain again.
Ever since she learned about her true parentage, she had Wang send people to the south to keep an eye on Ye Zhen. Every time those people replied, they said that Ye Zhen was fairly honest, but he longed to see his parents in the capital.
Later, Ye Zhen returned to the capital. Although she was introverted, she could tell that Ye Zhen cared a lot about her parents.
Right now, her worry and sadness seem genuine.
Ye Wantang snorted. Even if it was fake, it didn't matter. Once Ye Zhen left the General's Mansion today, she would have someone invite the imperial physician again.
When news spreads that Wang Shi and She Gu's conditions have worsened, people will be even more convinced that it is Ye Zhen's misfortune.
Because she came to the General's Mansion today.
Thinking this way, she felt that she was worrying too much. If Ye Zhen were really smart, he should have found a reason to avoid the General's Mansion at this juncture.
But not only did she come, she also foolishly let the people see her, clearly an outsider who knew nothing about the ways of the inner quarters.
It's likely that the one who truly reformed the Marquis's household was the Marquis Zhongyong, but it doesn't sound good for a man to manage household affairs, so Ye Zhen was put out as a puppet.
Once it's confirmed that Ye Zhen has a history of harming others, even the Marquis of Zhongyong will hesitate about whether or not to use Ye Zhen.
Even if Marquis Zhongyong doesn't care, all the nobles in the capital will still avoid Ye Zhen.
How can someone ostracized from the nobility manage a household? Without the protection of the Marquis of Loyalty and Valor, killing Ye Zhen would not be difficult for her.
Ye Wantang felt much more at ease after figuring all this out.
Therefore, when Ye Zhen suggested visiting She Gu, she only hesitated for a moment before agreeing.
Ye Zhen said, "Wantang, now that I'm in charge of the Marquis's mansion, I can hire some good doctors for Shegu."
Her tone was somewhat boastful, like a country bumpkin returning home in glory, eager to finally show off.
Ye Wantang felt contempt. After all, she grew up in the countryside and was used to being oppressed by the people in the village.
At the same time, she found her previous worries ridiculous; how could she have thought Ye Zhen was a threat?
It would be good to let her see Shegu; having her in close contact would make the claim of conflict more convincing.
She still needed a good reputation, so she went with Ye Zhen.
However, she didn't go closer, pretending to ask the maid Shegu about her situation at the door, so that Shegu wouldn't see her and reveal something with her fierce gaze.
However, they did not see that after Ye Zhen introduced herself to She Gu, she lightly tapped her fingernails on the edge of the bed, making faint sounds of varying lengths.
Upon hearing this, She Gu's eyes widened, and she looked at Ye Zhen in disbelief.
It's as if asking, "How do you know the general's transmission code?"
Ye Zhen understood her question and replied, "It was taught by my aunt."
In reality, her mother taught her to her master, and then her master taught her.
But now was not the time to go into details, so she asked again, "But someone is trying to harm you? Why would they harm you?"
But She Gu couldn't move, so she could only blink frantically. Ye Zhen noticed that she blinked a total of nine times.
Just as I was about to ask another question, Ye Wantang's voice rang out from behind me.
"Cousin Zhen, Shegu needs more rest to recover quickly. Come out after you've finished watching..."
