The couple had reached a decision. Wang Yongzhu said, "It's enough for just the two of us to go to Duke Weiguo Residence; mother and uncle should stay in our house to avoid the constraints of going in. We still don't know the full situation in Duke Weiguo Residence; if we get caught in a trap or fall into someone's scheme, it would be too late to regret."
Song Chongjin agreed, "That's only natural. Mother staying with us is the same as with Old Marquis, why go to that residence to be subjected to other people's whims? Besides, there are many wives and concubines in the backyard, and with so many people, we're not sure if we can handle it. Not to mention, uncle outside is our backup and can help in case of an emergency."
The couple had a well-discussed plan, but unfortunately, Old Granny Zhang jumped up when she heard, "No way, since you insist on going, I won't stop you; but I must come along too. If your uncle stays outside, he can still run errands if something happens."
