The Huo family was going bald with worries, they knew that if the old lady didn't sleep then sooner or later she might end up meeting an unfortunate accident. Huo Ci was also on the end of his wits, his grandmother was the only one who could control that good concubine, Tao of his father, he was afraid that if something happened to his grandmother then concubine Tao who was suppressed by the collective efforts of his grandmother and mother, will finally be able to take full control over the matter of the inner courtyard.
As his father's son, Huo Ci was naturally not interested in his father's harem matters but because this involved his mother's safety and pride, he couldn't sit still and watch his grandmother succumb in his good ' half brother ' and ' Aunt Tao ' ' s scheme.
He knew that whatever happened back then was more or less linked to that Shu son, but he had no evidence. He could only watch Huo Ting put on a filial act silently.
