And after all these years, they still haven't been able to get married.
He's only been back in Beijing for a short time, and already a girl has fallen for him?
He became increasingly worried that Xie Tingzhou was making things difficult for him.
Therefore, when the old lady suggested that she look for a fortune teller for Xie Tingzhou, he agreed.
He thought that since Xie Tingzhou was interested in her, they should at least make it official.
The old lady's matchmaking was an opportunity to make the right choice.
The mother and son had just finished discussing this when Xie Tingzhou arrived.
He came to fulfill his promise and pay his respects to the old lady.
The old lady wiped away her tears, "I haven't seen you for so many years, and you've grown so tall. If I saw you on the street, I'm afraid I wouldn't recognize you."
After looking her over, she became pleased and looked very pleased, saying, "Just like your father, you will be successful in the future."
Xie Tingzhou smiled and said, "Is the old lady blaming her grandson for not visiting you?"
During all these years of violence and bloodshed, has the old lady ever worried about her grandson?
Have you ever brought him any food or bought him a new piece of clothing?
No.
The old lady was indeed trying to sow discord between Xie Tingzhou and Marquis Zhongyong.
As a result, Xie Tingzhou threw a straight punch at her and turned around to question her.
The old lady tried her best to suppress her guilt.
"Your words are utterly hurtful to your grandmother. How could she not worry about you?"
But you've been naughty since you were little. If I indulge you further, wouldn't you become even more unruly? Your grandmother has indeed not done things like adding clothes or bringing food.
But that's because I know that although your father is strict with you, he loves you very much in his heart and will never let you lack food or clothing.
Marquis Zhongyong hadn't noticed these things before, but after Xie Tingzhou mentioned it, he realized that over the years, his mother really hadn't given her eldest son anything.
Even he found the old lady's reasoning far-fetched, so he didn't stop Xie Tingzhou.
Xie Tingzhou continued, "The old lady must have given Xie Yunzhou a lot of financial support while he's away all these years."
Don't tell me you didn't know he faked his death back then. Liu is your lackey; she probably wouldn't dare hide this from you.
He looked at the old lady with a half-smile, showing her no intention of giving her any face.
"What, Xie Yunzhou is your grandson, but Xie Tingzhou isn't?"
The old lady's guilty conscience could no longer be concealed. "You, what nonsense are you talking about?"
I thought you would have improved over the years, but I never expected you to become even more outrageous. Now you don't even respect me, your grandmother.
Why didn't that bastard Mianmian tell her that Xie Tingzhou's mouth is even more annoying than before?
She clutched her chest and pointed at Xie Tingzhou, "You, you have disappointed Grandmother so much."
"The way Grandmother said that made it sound like she had some expectations of me in the past."
I remember when I was little, you often said that your grandson was unruly and unreasonable, unlikely to amount to anything, and not even a fraction as good as Xie Yunzhou. Your judgment of character was truly terrible.
He slowly stood up. “Father said you wanted to see me, and I have come as you wished. I wonder if Grandmother is satisfied?”
If there's nothing else, I'll head back to my post. The Martial Virtue Division has many matters to attend to."
Ye Zhen, standing outside the door, smiled.
The old lady said that Xie Tingzhou was useless and not as good as Xie Yunzhou. Now Xie Yunzhou died a terrible death, while Xie Tingzhou became a favorite of the emperor.
How ironic!
The old lady was so angry that her lips trembled. Then she saw Xie Tingzhou seem to remember something, stop, and turn to look at the old lady.
"No, back then you saw that Xie Yunzhou was a coward and knew that he couldn't overshadow the eldest grandson."
That's why they deliberately suggested he take the humanities route, actually to cover up his incompetence.
So it seems you don't lack judgment, you're just biased.
His tone was firm, not questioning. He took two steps closer, as if chatting casually, "Speaking of favoritism, there's something I don't understand. You only picked up Liu Shi halfway through your life."
Over the years, you've watched your father grieve over Xie Yunzhou's death, yet you've helped Liu Shi conceal it, not revealing a single word.
Could it be that Liu was your biological daughter, and your father was the one you adopted?
The old lady's face was deathly pale, and her chest heaved violently. Marquis Zhongyong was worried about his mother and was about to stop him when Xie Tingzhou asked him again, "Father, do you want to investigate whether you are really the old lady's son?"
