Ye Zhen understood.
This was indeed a feasible approach for the old lady and Madam Liu.
In their eyes, Xie Tingzhou was the heir of the Marquis of Zhongyong, their grandson and stepson. Since ancient times, marriages have been arranged by parents and matchmakers.
They used the pretext of doing what was best for Xie Tingzhou to arrange a marriage for him, a reason that even the Marquis of Zhongyong did not refuse.
So how can she break this deadlock?
Just as he was thinking this, the old bachelor asked, "What about the grandson?"
Madam Wang gave him a reproachful look, "That's why I asked you to tell me that I know a little about every famous noblewoman in the capital."

Mrs. Wang, sitting at home: Mother-in-law, are you being polite?
Madam Wang had a good relationship with her daughter-in-law and felt no guilt about betraying her.

Madam Wang snorted, "If they dare to treat Ting-ge'er like that, I will take Granny Cui and your aunt to scratch her old face to pieces."
Xie Tingzhou knew that she was not just saying that.
When he learned that his friend had escaped death but was disfigured and was having a major falling out with his stepmother, he rushed to help. What he saw was Old Madam Wang protecting his friend behind her and slapping the old lady of the Marquis's mansion across the face.
She resented the old lady of the Marquis's mansion for not protecting her eldest grandson and even spoke up for Liu.
This caused a great deal of discussion, but the old lady didn't care. She went to the Marquis of Zhongyong's house again and forced him to take his friend to the border.
He was also around ten years old at the time and envied that kind of protection.
