The father and son reached a decision and immediately chose to split up.
Beitang Ang would seek out his old lover and illegitimate daughter, searching for a suitable candidate to serve as the link and bridge between their County King's Mansion and Meng Zhao. This was not troublesome, but they had to make certain no one was passing off fish eyes as pearls.
Fortunately, the Beitang Imperial Clan had secret arts for verifying the authenticity of one's bloodline. Whether she truly was Beitang Ang's daughter could not be settled by words alone; only validation through secret arts counted as accurate.
Of course, Beitang Ang also intended to properly cultivate a relationship with his daughter. Perhaps one day, he would have to rely on her to uphold his standing.
It had to be said, this was quite a tragedy.
In Beitang Ang's eyes, Beitang He was already an exceedingly outstanding heir. He had always trusted Beitang He and had consistently regarded him as his sole successor.
But when people were compared, one died; when goods were compared, one was thrown away. Compared with Meng Zhao, Beitang He was merely ordinary. The gap was simply too vast.
Between relying on a son and relying on a son-in-law, Beitang Ang felt that in the end, he would most likely have to rely on a son-in-law. Naturally, he needed to properly cultivate his relationship with his daughter.
Meanwhile, Beitang He headed directly to the Meng Family to seek Meng Zhao's help. Presumably, this was also what Meng Zhao wished for.
Beitang He could be considered an old friend of the Meng Family. Accompanied by several attendants and guards, he hurried all the way to the Meng Family. Without needing to announce himself, he was led into the manor by the Meng Family's armored soldiers.
