She was angry, but also uneasy.
"Alright, you can leave now. I'm not going to die."
She looked extremely dejected. "Although that child resents me, as his grandmother, I can't just ignore him."
I'll have someone keep an eye out for suitable candidates and find an opportunity to meet them. I won't talk to him about it, lest he get annoyed. You, as the father, can handle the communication.
She told him to leave, but then she held the Marquis of Zhongyong's hand and said earnestly, "Bang'er, your mother promised your father that she would protect the Marquis's mansion for him, but Tingzhou, that child..."
Sigh, you've never been afraid of causing great trouble since you were little. I heard that this time he directly burned and killed 50,000 prisoners. Your father was a general all his life and captured many prisoners, but have you ever seen him so extreme?
Even though they were enemy troops, it still meant 50,000 lives. That shows how hard-hearted he is. You saw how he treated your mother just now.
Your mother sees that he doesn't respect you much either; if this continues, he'll be rebelling against the Heavenly Gang.
He also killed all the prisoners in one go, bringing peace to the border. With the military generals having no place to use their talents, his mother worried that the higher-ups would abandon them after using them.

He did not agree with the old lady.
As a general, how could you deliberately give the enemy a chance to breathe just because you were worried that the emperor would suppress military officers? That would put the people on the border in danger.
Tingzhou's burning and killing of prisoners was indeed unexpected, but he approved of it and had always wanted to do it, but lacked the courage to do so.
Tingzhou did nothing wrong in this matter.
But the old lady's words also reminded him of the old Marquis's instructions to be filial to his mother.
Therefore, he did not argue with the old lady, but only comforted her with words such as not to be angry. He also had someone fetch a doctor to confirm that although the old lady was angry, she was not seriously ill. He then left under the pretext of having to attend to official business.
After leaving the old lady's courtyard, he went to the Ink Courtyard.
Xie Tingzhou hadn't even left the house when he was blocked in the courtyard by him. "Do you have any other evidence for what you just said?"
