Zhao Hanzhang immediately stood up and said, "I will return with Uncle. I will go to pay respect to Fifth Uncle." She turned her head and whispered to Fu Tinghan, "My mother is here too. I’ll go fetch her back."
Fu Tinghan also stood up upon hearing this, "Then I’ll go with you all."
Zhao Hanzhang instructed Ting He, "Send someone to the barracks to bring Erlang back."
Ting He bowed and left.
Zhao Ming was silent for a moment before saying quietly, "You’re quite at ease, letting your mother return to Wu Castle alone."

Their attitude directly influenced the ladies of the castle, so every time Mrs. Wang returned to her hometown, she was depressed.
Zhao Hanzhang urged, "Then let’s hurry to pay respect to Fifth Uncle."
The implication was to quickly go to bring people back.
