Wu Bingji had also somewhat gathered his wits by this time, glancing at Tang San, then at Zhang Haoxuan, "I'll go see it. Tang San..." He paused at this point, ultimately unable to say the rest of what was on his mind.
But Tang San had already grasped what he wanted to say, speaking in a lowered voice, "You can try, try asking about it, although it might not yield any result. So, Elder Brother, you need to be prepared mentally." What Wu Bingji wanted to inquire about was clearly related to his own origins. He must have wanted to try finding out if his mother was still out there.
Cheng Zicheng had already let go of her hold on him the moment Tang San had stated that Wu Bingji shouldn't enter into a political marriage, and Wu Bingji said, "I understand, let's go now." Saying this, he turned and walked out first.
After paying his respects to his teacher with a slight bow, Tang San followed Wu Bingji out.
