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

Xin An is pregnant, and Wang, her mother-in-law, comes to see her every day to ask if she is feeling unwell or if there is anything she wants. Today, she specially brought a book to Xin An, saying that she found it in the study of the Marquis' Mansion and it is quite interesting. "The weather is hot, and it will be the dog days soon. Being pregnant will make you feel hotter than usual. It is not bad to read a few books to kill time."

"Thank you, mother."

Xin An was just about to ask why Tang Gang's attitude changed so quickly. Was there something she didn't know?

Wang was also a little puzzled by this. Tang Gang had always looked down on the Xin family. If the marriage arranged by the old marquis had not been irreversible, he would not have wanted to acknowledge them. His attitude towards the Xin family was almost the same as that towards his own servants. Even if there were some changes later, they were not much.

Tang Mo could guess the reason. "My father-in-law has a certain reputation among the merchants. Last year, several merchants used my father-in-law's name to get in touch with Manager Zhang. Manager Zhang, in his capacity as the chief manager of the Marquis's Mansion, helped to solve several problems and gained a lot of benefits. He gave those benefits to my father."

Xin An actually didn't know about this. "Did he ask directly or did Manager Zhang intercept him?"

"It's a direct request."

Tang Mo said that we should not underestimate the ability of Zhang Guanshi. In the mansion, he is the chief steward of the Marquis' Mansion, and outside, he can exercise 30% of Tang Gang's power. "As the so-called seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister, Zhang Guanshi is more respectable than those officials of lower ranks."

Xin An knew this, "You continue."

Tang Mo went on to say that many merchants who are in trouble now want to use Manager Zhang's approach. This is a common thing and was a trivial matter in the past.

But now many families are struggling to make ends meet, so this benefit is naturally not easy to come by. "Not only has the Marquis' Mansion not been affected by the arrears of the national treasury, but my father has also made contributions through charitable donations. The emperor has given many commendations in the court and also gave my father a lucrative job. In addition, the subsequent fundraising fell into the hands of Prince Jin's Mansion, so those people naturally became less hostile to my father. The marriages of the three sisters have all risen accordingly, and the students in the academy are being paid close attention to."

"There were more people trying to curry favor with father at the Shuihua banquet yesterday than ever before. Under such circumstances, the arrival of Second Uncle's family is a good thing for father. As they are trying to win him over, I guess he will be more polite to his father-in-law in the future."

The point is that he doesn't want him to continue to grow bigger. He wants to share the benefits in his hands. Even if he can't share them, he will take a bite and give it to his eldest son.

Wang didn't know that Tang Gang was using Manager Zhang to make money from merchants. She was so angry that she wanted to turn around and find Tang Gang to argue with him. However, Xin An looked normal and still had a smile on his face. "Manager Zhang's behavior is not strange. I believe that all the managers in the court would do such things. In the eyes of merchants, it is much easier to find a manager than to find the real boss, and it is easier to get along with him."

"It's said that it's easier to meet the King of Hell than to deal with the little devils. Father's actions are understandable, and it makes people unable to gossip. There's a huge gap between the Xin family and the Marquis' Mansion. It's a good thing that my second uncle's family can be treated so warmly by father."

"Everything complements each other, and no one party can monopolize the benefits. It just depends on each person's ability."

The Xin family cannot do without the Marquis' Mansion, at least in the past ten years. If they want to achieve their goals, they must rely on the Marquis' Mansion. In the past, they were far away and could only borrow a limited amount. Now that they are in the capital, they naturally cannot be polite.

On the contrary, they also had to give benefits to the Marquis' Mansion, even though Tang Gang never showed up once and never helped them directly during the process.

"I will discuss this with my second uncle. If the Xin family's business can be successfully expanded in the capital, my father will be given a separate share, even if it is in accordance with the rules for relatives."

Tang Mo also felt that it was reasonable. His old man was not a broad-minded person. He would say sour words if he couldn't get any benefits.

As they were talking, Ping Qiu came in and said that the young lady of the Pingshun Marquis's Mansion had sent someone to deliver an invitation, inviting Tao Yiran to go out and appreciate the lotus tomorrow.

Tang Mo and Xin An looked at each other and understood. Wang had not even read the invitation and asked Ping Qiu to deliver it to Tao Yiran. Tang Gang meant that Tao Yiran was not allowed to go out again. He also wanted Wang to reprimand Tao Yiran for her ostentation yesterday. Wang did not want to be the bad guy to avoid being accused of being mean. The main idea was to leave it alone.

A moment later, Ping Qiu called back and said Tao Yiran had accepted the invitation and "had sent someone to reply."

After sitting in Qiushi Courtyard for a while, he stood up and left, and turned around and asked Pingqiu to tell Ganlu about this. Didn't the old lady always want to control Tao Yiran, so he had to give her a chance.

After she left, Xin An and Tang Mo relaxed a lot. There were some things they didn't want Wang to worry about. Xin An said, "From now on, we just need to wait for the results. Ping Shunbo is more willing to put in the effort than we thought."

"How can a head full of bad water be good?"

The couple targeted the Earl of Pingshun because the young lady of the Earl of Pingshun wanted to embarrass her in the palace. Xin An then remembered that the Earl of Pingshun was stripped of his title in her previous life. A dignified earl kidnapped people for profit, from beautiful women in their early twenties to pretty children of seven or eight years old, just to use them to gain connections and bribe people, and killed many lives.

She wanted to use Pingshun Bo to pave the way for Tang Mo, but she had never thought of a logical reason. Moreover, this matter involved so many people that Tang Mo might not be able to bear the pressure alone. Tang Gang was not a person who would meddle in other people's affairs. It would be good for him to bring Pingshun Bo down, but the disadvantages would outweigh the advantages. Therefore, the couple had never come up with a good plan.

It was not until Lin Yao told her the story of the Prince of Nanguang that the introduction to the Marquis' Mansion against the Marquis of Pingshun's Mansion was laid, allowing the Marquis of Pingshun's own advisers to give him advice and suggestions. How could the Marquis of Pingshun give up the opportunity to curry favor with the Prince of Nanguang?

When the time is right, let Tang Gang know about this, and let him know that Pingshun Bo used the wife of the prince of the Marquis's mansion as a favor. He will definitely not tolerate this evil, and then the father and son will join forces...

"If we can get this done, we can accomplish whatever we want to do."

Tang Mo nodded and said that he had arranged people to keep a close eye on the Pingshun Marquis' Mansion these days, and he was determined to find evidence of the Marquis's crimes over the years. "Even if this matter is not good for us, I will not let them go. We are not good people, and we have not done anything good. This matter should be considered as a good deed for us."

Xin An squinted at him and said, "What are you talking about? We didn't do a good thing except for the matter of the two people next door. We have done a lot of good deeds. Didn't you help the people under you? Didn't you take care of the beggars in the streets under your jurisdiction?"

"I didn't do anything generous?"

"I put a lot of effort into Qianjin Hall."

"Yes, yes, yes." Tang Mo stepped forward and helped her sit down. "We also do good deeds without leaving a name. All we want is to have a clear conscience."
