Reborn and married to uncle, husband and wife teamed up to abuse scum.

"You are the young lady of the Marquis's Mansion after all. You didn't fight back when someone bullied you. Who are you waiting for to help you?"

When Wang Shi found out what happened in Qianbi Garden, she rolled her eyes in anger. She didn't care that she was still in the Duke of Enguo's Mansion and started to scold Tao Yiran, "You should have slapped the Xu family member in the face for saying that. You have to wait for others to stand up for you in this kind of situation. Did you leave your mouth without a mouth?"

Tao Yiran said softly, "Mother, please calm down. It's just an insignificant person saying something insignificant. You don't need to take it to heart."

Wang was so angry that she laughed. People were pointing their fingers at her and scolding her, and the curse was directed at her lousy reputation. How could she say that it was unimportant?

And what about the notorious Prince of Nanguang?

"Do you know the Prince of Nanguang?"

"No."

Thinking that she was just a little cowardly and aloof, and had not done anything to cause any trouble today, she did not continue to criticize her. When she saw Madam Wu leading Madam Wu towards her, she immediately suppressed her anger and looked at the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Wu family with a smile.

Madam Wu came to apologize. The Wu family could not afford to offend the Marquis' Mansion. Although they wanted to severely punish their daughter-in-law who had caused trouble, the most important thing was to calm the Marquis' Mansion's anger.

She first exchanged a few words with Wang with a smile on her face before she told her how angry she was. "The Xu family has not been doing well these days, and I, the daughter-in-law, am very worried. Today, I lost my mind and ran to the young lady to talk nonsense. I regretted it immediately after I finished speaking. I hope that the lady and the young lady will not hold it against me because she knows she is wrong."

Wang forced a laugh, "I've heard some of those rumors outside, they're really ridiculous."

Seeing that there were some ladies and girls who might be passing by or wanted to join in the fun, Wang put on the airs of a lady of a marquisate and said:

"The Xu family's sons don't know what they are talking about, and Madam Xu is even more confused. Isn't the girl from the Mu family related to my daughter-in-law? We rarely interact with each other on weekdays. Not to mention my Marquis' Mansion, even the Tao family is not close to her. How could such a girl run to Mr. Xu and tell him all these lies and he believed them?"

"The problem is blamed on my mansion. The girl from the Mu family only asked for a few trivial things. How could my mansion not be able to handle it? Why did a pregnant woman who never left her house have to ask Mr. Xu, who she didn't even know, to do it?"

"Even if the Marquis is not here at that time, my daughter-in-law's father, Lord Tao, has a higher official position than Lord Xu. No matter how much he pleads, he will not be able to get the Xu family to help him. Madam Wu should go back and persuade your mother not to blame the wrong person."

"She had caused a lot of trouble before. If my master had not been unwell and needed to rest, I would have definitely come to her house to question her."

The position of the Marquisate was made clear in just a few words. She even admired Tao Yiran's methods. She could make those men die for her without giving them any benefits. If there was no substantial evidence, she would not be able to be so tough in her words today.

Madam Wu wished she could divorce her trouble-making daughter-in-law right now. The same goes for the Xu family. They knew they couldn't afford the Marquis' Mansion but still did these things. They thought that if those nobles could throw dirty water on the Marquis' Mansion, the Xu family could do it too?

Didn’t you see that those people who attacked the Marquis’ Mansion before are now chatting and drinking with Tang Gang?

Other people have family background, titles and interests connected with them, but what does your Xu family have?

This forced her to say a lot of nice things. Fortunately, Wang did not implicate her. She soon changed her expression and started talking to her affectionately.

Those who were watching the fun also came over. People are like this, the easier you are to talk to, the less people will take you seriously. If you are tough, she will be polite to you.

Tao Yiran, who seemed like an outsider, just said a few tolerant words in a bland manner. Wang, who had long since given up any expectations of her, simply ignored it and prepared to let Tang Gang worry about it.

"Why didn't you go today?"

Upon learning that Xin An was not feeling well, Lin Yao did not stay at the Shuihua Banquet for too long. After meeting everyone she needed to meet and saying everything she needed to say, she could not wait to come to the Marquis' Mansion. At this time, Xin An was preparing to have lunch.

"Sister Lin knew I was not feeling well and came to see me?"

Xin An smiled and invited her to sit down and eat together. "Today's dishes have a stronger flavor. Sister Lin, please see if you can accept it. If you don't like it, I will ask someone to make it."

Lin Yao had no time to eat or drink. She held Xin An's hand and lowered her voice, "Tell me the truth, are you pregnant?"

"I don't know if I'm crazy, but when I heard you were uncomfortable I started to guess this."

Xin An knew that she had been worried about this matter in recent months, so he pulled her to sit down and said, "The pregnancy is very early, I won't go out these days, and we will talk about it after the fetus is stable."

The guess was confirmed. Lin Yao's mind was complicated at the moment. It seemed that half of the strength in her body was gone. "How come you are so smooth? You can get it just by saying you want it?"

“Why is it so difficult for me?”

Xin An comforted her, "Your sister-in-law has already given birth to two children, so your mother-in-law shouldn't rush you. Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Why not urge me?"

Lin Yao said that her mother-in-law would take the opportunity to hint at her, both overtly and covertly. Although she was of a high social status, she had not given birth for a long time and even her mother was beginning to get anxious. Her mother had repeatedly mentioned the importance of a child. Yan Shimao kept comforting her, but she was experiencing induced labor and her good friends outside were also getting pregnant one after another. How could she not be anxious?

If she couldn't get pregnant, she would have to consider taking a concubine for Yan Shimao even if she was extremely reluctant. Her heart ached when she thought about it.

Xin An was filled with emotion again, wondering why women, regardless of their social status, had to face such a problem. "I'll ask Qin Bo to come and take a look at you now."

Lin Yao nodded and said that she had wanted to ask for help before, but it was not convenient to look for a doctor in a big way. If the news got out, people outside would probably say that she would have difficulty in having children.

Chunyang asked someone to run a trip, and Xin An took Lin Yao to have dinner together. Lin Yao had no appetite and didn't even want to tell Xin An about the interesting stories of the Shuihua Banquet.

"Being too nervous is not conducive to pregnancy. Don't think about it all the time."

Xin An picked up some food for her and said, "Be nice to yourself and don't team up with outsiders to bully and force yourself. Our health is the most important thing. Uncle Qin always says that medicine is three-quarters poison, and he even told me to take less tonic medicine. How big of a sin can it be if I can't get pregnant for a while?"

"It could be that fate has not arrived yet, or it could be that there is something wrong with the man."

Lin Yao, who was always proud, sighed, "We were living a good life, but you two got pregnant one after another. If you both gave birth, it would seem that I can't have children. What should I do if I can't have children forever?"

"Then I will introduce you to someone more powerful and a big backer."

Xin An joked to Lin Yao as she looked hopeful, "You can also ask the Goddess of Childbirth for help. If that doesn't work, I can pick up a little girl and raise her to borrow her blessings. There's an old saying that even if I'm destined to be childless, as long as she's destined to have siblings, there's a good chance that I'll have a child."

Lin Yao was amused by what she said, "I have already prayed for the big backer you mentioned, but I don't know if the backer has heard my prayer."
