The "others" Xin An mentioned were the Second Prince and General Xu.

Luo Qiwen smiled and said, "Others don't care about this achievement, they care about the people behind the scenes. Besides, the young lady is a woman who is about to give birth. It's not surprising that she panicked and asked for help everywhere when she heard that her husband was in danger. As for the rest, the Marquis will take care of it."

"The most important thing is that only when the prince has greater value will others take him seriously. The greater one's ability, the more secure his position will be."

"Besides, the Marquis's Mansion only has the Crown Prince, so the Marquis has no choice."

Compared to Xin An's accumulation of two lifetimes, Luo Qiwen was born to do this job. He calculated the good and bad of an event thoroughly and did not let go of any of it.

The two talked for a while before Luo Qiwen left. Wang came out from the back hall and said, "The second brother is a powerful strategist."

With Luo Qiwen's suggestion, Xin An asked people to invite Yan Shimao and Zhuang Shi as quickly as possible. At the same time, Wang Shi went to the Ministry of Works at the right time to invite Tang Gang back.

Seeing Yan Shimao and Zhuang Shi, Xin An quickly told them what happened. "I don't know exactly how dangerous it is, but how can someone who is willing to risk his life to open a mine be a good person? He only has fifty guards, which my father just gave him, and they haven't been used for a long time yet."

"I would like to ask you to bring some people to help him. When my father comes back later, I will also ask him to send everyone who can be used in the mansion over. I will also go to the palace to report to the emperor."

Yan Shimao was smart, and it was not the first time he met Xin An. He often heard his wife say how smart and thoughtful Xin An was, so he understood what Xin An meant almost instantly.

Tang Mo discovered that someone was mining privately, and there were many things involved. It was dangerous, but the credit was there. Xin An wanted to use this to give them credit, and at the same time wanted to use the affairs of their two families to protect Tang Mo and secure the credit.

Otherwise, they should have gone to the palace and told the emperor earlier. Telling them first was to encourage them to set off faster. By the time the emperor knew about it, they were already on the way and had already been credited, so they couldn't be called back.

"Don't worry, my second brother and I are not blood brothers, but we are as close as brothers. We will never leave him alone if he gets into trouble. I will go back and bring more people with me, and we will set off as soon as possible."

Zhuang Shi slowly came to his senses, "Sister-in-law, take care of yourself. We are leaving now."

He took Yan Shimao out of the house and asked Yan Shimao to explain some twists and turns to him. As soon as they walked out of the Marquis' Mansion, they met Tang Gang who had returned and greeted him. Tang Gang had been feeling bad recently and could only go to the Ministry of Works every day to find something to do to avoid feeling anxious.

I was called back again today, and my heart has been at the bottom of the valley for a long time, prepared for the worst.

"Father, why did you just come back?"

Seeing that Xin An took the initiative, and seeing her with red eyes and holding her belly, Tang Gang didn't know how to describe himself at this moment. Is the sky falling again?

"What happened?"

Could something have happened to the second child?

He didn't like the second son, but the eldest son's life or death was still unknown, so he had no choice. What should the marquis's mansion do without a male heir?

He staggered and nearly fell down. Xin An sobbed and couldn't speak. Wang also wiped her tears with the handkerchief smeared with onion juice. "I received news today that the second son is in danger now. Lord, you are his biological father. You have to save him."

"What happened?"

The sky really is about to fall in the Marquis’ Mansion.

Xin An sobbed, "My husband found clues about my eldest brother's disappearance, and he followed up to find out that someone was privately mining. The mine is not small, and I don't know if it has been discovered by those vicious people. What if a fight breaks out to save my eldest brother?"

"He only brought the fifty men his father gave him. We don't know how capable those fifty men are. What if they are not capable?"

"Father, please send someone to rescue him quickly. Ask the emperor to order him to come back. It's too dangerous, father..."

At this moment, she was not only weak and helpless but also short-sighted. She had lost all her comprehension and could only cry and make unreasonable demands.

Tang Gang's head was buzzing as he was still digesting what Xin An said, "You said that the second brother discovered that someone was privately mining?"

“It’s iron ore.”

Xin An wiped away tears and said, "I heard that a lot of people were lost recently. I don't know if they were caught to work in the mines. How dangerous, wuwuwu..."

Wang comforted her quietly, saying that this meant that the show was almost over and it was time to regain her senses and get down to business.

"The child was terrified. She was about to give birth when she suddenly received such news. She was so scared that her stomach ached for a long time."

Wang began to lay the groundwork, "Look, he's in a hurry to ask someone to rescue the second child."

Tang Gang......

"Stop crying and tell me everything. He is my son. How can I ignore him?"

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other and began their plan.

An hour later, Tang Gang knelt in the imperial study and presented Tang Mo's letter, "My daughter-in-law is going to give birth in the next two days. I was so scared when I heard about this that I almost had a miscarriage. In a panic, I asked someone to rescue her..."

He had to deal with the aftermath of Xin An asking the Yan family and the Zhuang family to rescue people, and he also had to strive for the credit for the Marquis' Mansion. If they, father and son, joined forces to take the credit, they could wipe out the Marquis' Mansion's decline in one fell swoop.

"I have already mobilized fifty guards to follow the Second Brother, and I mobilized another fifty before entering the palace. However, I did not dare to act rashly. I only asked those people to disguise themselves and find the Second Brother when they arrived, and wait for the news. When I entered the palace, I met General Xu, so I boldly asked General Xu to wait outside the Imperial Study and wait for the Emperor's orders."

The emperor looked at the letters in his hand. One was written by Tang Mo to Tang Gang, explaining that he had found out something and asking Tang Gang to tell him, the emperor, as soon as possible. The second was a letter from Tang Mo to Xin An. In the letter, he did not show any panic about being in danger, but only the determination to serve the court. The emperor was very pleased...

But when he thought about someone secretly mining an iron mine less than a thousand miles away from the capital, he could not hide his anger.

General Xu stood outside the door with his eyes downcast, not feeling at all calm. When Tang Gang saw him, he pulled him aside and secretly handed him a letter. After reading it, he wanted to leave the palace to discuss with the second prince, but Tang Gang pulled him to the imperial study and repeatedly told him to pretend he knew nothing.

Almost subconsciously, he thought of the cause and effect. It must be the news sent back by Tang Mo, which should have been given to him secretly. However, Tang Gang, the only adult male in the mansion, ignored everything else and asked the emperor to send troops to rescue people as soon as possible.

Fortunately, the letter was given to him. As long as the emperor asked him to lead the troops to deal with the matter, he would be able to find out the person behind the scenes. It would be great if the prince could be implicated.

Unauthorized mining is a serious matter, and General Xu's status makes him suitable for handling this matter. The emperor summoned him without hesitation and gave him full authority to handle the matter. He also brought an oral order, asking Tang Mo to cooperate fully.

As for the Yan family and the Zhuang family who had already gone there, they were also under his control.

General Xu took the order and left. The emperor then looked at Tang Gang and asked, "How many people did the old marquis leave for you?"
