Patriarch Wang said, "Send the child to Taiyuan, do not bring her back to the Wang Family. In a few days, Ma Feng from Daizhou will arrive, and then you can give the child to him."
Wang Geng and Wang Cheng looked bewildered.
Patriarch Wang then showed them what it means to leverage strength against strength.
It's both to appease Ms. Wang and to clear Ms. Cui's name. Ms. Cui spared no effort in striking against the Ma Family, and within a few days, rumors spread throughout the Taiyuan area.
Rumors had it that Sixth Lady Wang was bullied in the Ma Family, while her aunt Ms. Cui was deceived by the Ma Family and hadn't noticed her niece suffering in their care. Ms. Cui felt guilty and sad, so she sent people to bring Sixth Lady Wang out and take her to the capital for treatment, while she returned to her family seeking reinforcements, determined to make the Ma Family pay the price.
Ms. Wang acknowledged this version of events.
