Although Patriarch Wang hadn't asked Mrs.Wang how she intended to resolve the matter, he was certainly not foolish. He could infer from Mrs.Wang's attitude towards Wang Ji and his wife that it was impossible for them to live under the same roof.
If they continued to live here, it wouldn't be surprising if someone actually got killed.
Patriarch Wang sighed and instructed Wang Ji to bring his mother back from the temple in the suburbs.
Then he went to see Mrs.Wang and plainly said, "I initially planned to return to Taiyuan in two days, but seeing Rong'er like this, I wouldn't mind staying a bit longer. How do you intend to resolve this issue?"
Mrs.Wang dared to act out a play to deceive others, but she didn't dare play games with the Patriarch. With a brief thought, she bent her knees and replied, "Patriarch, our family hasn't returned to Taiyuan for a long time, and we wish to go back with you."
