Marquis Zhongyong snorted, "If you dare to bring my future daughter-in-law to me, I dare to give you all my savings."
Xie Tingzhou then smiled.
Then you won't be able to keep your secret stash.
Marquis Zhongyong was baffled by his laughter and didn't want to pay him any more attention. He planned to ask the old lady to cancel the matchmaking.
Xie Tingzhou asked, "When will we meet?"
"You already have someone you like."
It's something that can't be brought to light. What's the point of looking at each other? Doesn't throwing a banquet cost money?
Xie Tingzhou, with the air of a playboy, said, "Having someone you like doesn't stop you from looking around. What if you find someone even better?"
No one is better than his girl.
But if we don't hold a banquet, how can we give the old lady and Madam Liu the opportunity to cause trouble?
Judging from the old lady's reaction today, it's possible that none of the children born to Madam Liu were actually the old man's.
Wouldn't that mean the dignified Marquis of Loyalty and Valor would have no descendants?
Although he often stood up for his friend and suffered indignation at the hands of the Marquis of Zhongyong, the Marquis of Zhongyong was muddle-headed in his family affairs but had made contributions to the country and the people. As father and son, he did not want to see him end up in such a miserable state.
If a girl takes a liking to Marquis Zhongyong, he wouldn't mind giving her a push from behind.
Ye Zhen returned to the house, also wondering about Xie Yunzhou's background.
In wealthy and powerful families, the eldest grandson is usually favored. The old lady didn't care about the eldest grandson; instead, she treasured Xie Yunzhou.
He also doted on Xie Jinyao, and as soon as he returned to the capital, he sent many things to Xie Jinyao.
She was willing to cover for Liu, so she must have known that Xie Jinyao's true identity was...
The more Ye Zhen thought about it, the more unsettling it became. The more he thought about these things, the more suspicious he felt, especially regarding the old lady.
Xie Tingzhou must have realized it too, which is why he deliberately said those things today to alert the old lady and make her panic.
She asked, "Haven't we heard anything from the horse farm yet?"
at the same time.
The old lady instructed the servant, "You go there yourself and tell him to keep a low profile recently and not to expose himself."
Also, don't go to the horse farm yet, lest someone with ulterior motives notice.
She always felt that Xie Tingzhou knew something when he said those things today.
What if he sends someone to keep an eye on the horse farm? That would be troublesome.
Unfortunately, she gave her instructions too late.
In Ye Zhen's room, Wan Xing said, "The people who were keeping watch saw the man in the portrait today."
While having someone keep an eye on Xie Jinyao, Ye Zhen drew a portrait of Liu's man and showed it to the group.
Ye Zhen asked, "Have you found out his identity?"
Wanxing nodded. "Xing Ze investigated personally. The other party's surname is Fu, given name Jiang, and he is the magistrate of Qingzhou. He only came to the capital recently. Judging from the time, he should have set off around the same time as the old lady."
Inside the Martial Virtue Division, Xing Ze also reported this matter to Xie Tingzhou.
Xie Tingzhou's brows furrowed slightly.
The old lady has been in Qingzhou for years, and both of them came to the capital from Qingzhou at the same time.
"I'm afraid they set off in groups."
He got up and flipped through the list of officials from other places, found Fu Jiang's page, and frowned. "This person has actually served as an official in Qingzhou for many years."
In Dayuan, county magistrates usually have to be transferred every three years, but this person has remained in the same place for many years.
Fearing that someone had powerful backing, he closed the register and ordered, "Investigate."
On his way back to his residence that night, he ran into Marquis Zhongyong and asked him, "Do you know Fu Jiang?"
