Meng Ce told his mother he would be loyal to King Lan Ruozhu when he met the King during the earthquake. Still, he did not know if the entire Feng and Meng families would remain loyal to the king.
That was because Old Madam Feng did not completely control her family. Instead, Meng Ce's uncle had control over it. The current situation had yet to be determined, and whoever they pledged allegiance to would determine the family's future development.
Nonetheless, it was somewhat risky to choose sides now. Moreover, everyone still thought King Lan Ruozhu was still in poor health.
However, Old Madam Feng was firm and wanted her family loyal to King Lan Ruozhum. On the other hand, Meng Ce had grown accustomed to listening to his mother.
He was not obedient, but he trusted his mother's judgment. That was the case many times before.
