"I sought out the Virtuous King tonight, and he has agreed to visit the Elder Princess's Residence tomorrow to speak with Princess Chang and find out what she truly intends," Marquis Zhongyuan said with a frown. "After that, I'll tell you, and we can discuss what to do next. You should not leave the mansion anymore; if there's anything, I will come to find you."
Lingxiao looked at Marquis Zhongyuan's graying hair and said, "You should not intervene in this matter; I know what to do."
"You are my son; how could I not get involved in your affairs?" Marquis Zhongyuan glared at him and said, "Do as you're told, and wait until after the Virtuous King has had his talk."
Lingxiao nodded in agreement.
Marquis Zhongyuan then asked, "Is there anything missing in your quarters? I still have some paintings and porcelain in my storeroom; I've had my people select them, and you can take them back with you later."
"Maybe in a few days," Lingxiao demurred.
