Wu Dong also wanted to report these things to Marquis Zhongyong, but he dared not ask his master questions like Xing Ze did.
It was clear that Xie Tingzhou was not displeased, and he boldly probed, "It's not necessarily not her biological mother."
As Fu Jiang said, if the old lady wanted to harm the Marquis, the Marquis would not have been on guard in the past.
The old lady succeeded; she didn't actually do anything, which shows that she still had some lingering affection for the Marquis.
This does not completely rule out the possibility of a mother-son relationship between them.
But in the end, the old lady chose to help Fu Jiang, so Wu Dong felt that "Fu Jiang must be a close relative of the old lady."
Even if it wasn't her son, it must have been someone she cared about very much.
Xie Tingzhou did not comment after listening. Whether it was true or not was no longer important; the old lady would eventually take action against Marquis Zhongyong.
This is abandoning the bond between mother and child.
Just as he was about to instruct the two to continue keeping watch, his ears twitched slightly; Ye Zhen had returned.
He quickly gave Xing Ze a wink. Xing Ze, whose skill was inferior to his, didn't hear the commotion, but he understood Xie Tingzhou's intention.
In the dead of night, the young mistress was still here. Her master must have used some trickery to deceive her. Xing Ze, who had seen the Marquis's ugly side, could easily guess what excuse she could make up.
If they were here, the master's lies would be exposed, and how could they keep the young mistress from spending more time with him?
Xing Ze pretended to glance at the bed, then quickly pulled Wu Dong toward the back window, saying, "The Marquis seems to be waking up, let's hurry."
Wu Dong was pulled out of the back window by him before he realized, "Why didn't we use the door?"
Xing Ze thought to himself, "Wouldn't going through the door mean I'd run into the young mistress?"
He made up a story: "I was worried that if the Marquis knew we had seen him in his sickbed state, he would lose face, so in his anxiety, he habitually climbed out the window."
That reason is plausible, but, "The Marquis has woken up, and I have to report to him."
Why is he running after it?
How could Xing Ze let him go back and ruin Xie Tingzhou's plans? He put his arm around Xie Tingzhou's shoulder and said, "Oh, Uncle Wu Dong, with my master here, he will pass on the message."
The Marquis is so distressed that he has fallen ill, and this is the time when he needs comforting. At this moment, besides my master, who can comfort him?
"The most important thing is that the Marquis is healthy. Let's put those other trivial matters aside for now. Come on, let's go and settle things with that grandson, Fu Jiang."
Wu Dong was also acting on the orders of the Marquis of Zhongyong to personally keep an eye on the old lady and Fu Jiang. When he thought that the two of them dared to conspire to harm his lord, he was furious and followed Xing Ze.
Xing Ze, who had successfully fooled his master, looked dejected, unsure whether helping his master in this way was the right or wrong thing to do.
