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

"Ma'am, do you need sugar?"

His father was able to spend so much time looking for a stable sugar supply channel because of what Grandpa Tang said back then: sugar is as important as life on the battlefield, especially for the elite troops, who are extremely exhausted after the battle and it is difficult to recover in a short period of time. If they encounter another sneak attack, they are almost at the mercy of others. He accidentally discovered that drinking a bowl of thick sugar water after the battle would quickly restore their spirits, and after a short rest they would be able to fight again.

At that time, she secretly asked her father to buy a lot of sugar.

Could it be that the Xu family has the same goal?

Madam Xu nodded and did not hide anything. "Yes, we need a batch of sugar. The quantity is not small. I wonder if Madam Second Young Master can contact Boss Xin."

Xin An asked, "Since Madam said that someone was left in Huaijiang, why didn't you go and ask my father directly?"

"But my father doesn't have enough candy?"

His father was the most cautious. Whether buying salt or sugar, he would carefully check if the quantity was too large, not wanting to cause trouble. "My father would occasionally sell some sugar, but the quantity was not large, and there were only a few times in the year when sugar was sold. The most sugar was sold after the spring."

Madam Xu came to ask today because she had some reliable information, and she didn't expect Xin An to agree on the spot. "It's indeed not enough. I think the capital is too far away from the Huai River, and it would be too troublesome to send someone over to talk. It just so happens that the Second Young Master's wife is in front of me, so I want to use her way to make a connection. If it works, it's a good thing. If it's really difficult, then forget it. We can find other ways."

Xin An neither agreed nor refused. "It would be fine for anyone else, but since it was Madam Xu who asked for it herself, I will write back to Huaijiang to ask my father. I wonder how many you need?"

Madam Xu smiled and said the more the better, so Xin An would know. "It's inconvenient to communicate with each other, so please wait a little longer, Madam Xu."

"It doesn't matter."

It is true that the Xu family bought candy, and it is also true that they wanted to win over the Xin family for the Second Prince. Although the Xin family has the support of the Marquis' Mansion, there is no one in charge of the troops in the Marquis' Mansion, and the military power was handed over long ago. It is not right for them to still dominate the Xin family.

Of course, we still need to wait and see whether the Xin family is worth winning over.

Seeing that the two had almost finished their conversation, the Second Prince's Consort brought the topic back to the topic, "How is Tang Rong getting along with that girl from the Tao...Tao family?"

"Like lacquer or glue."

If Xin An didn't know that Tao Yiran had once hooked up with the Second Prince, she wouldn't understand what the Second Prince's wife wanted to know. If someone wanted to know, of course she would say it. The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

"My eldest brother is a gentleman. On the day of his wedding, he accidentally entered the wrong bridal chamber and ended up with my eldest sister-in-law... He took responsibility when he realized that the matter was irreversible. Actually, the two of them had met at banquets many times before. Although they didn't know each other, they were familiar with each other. Besides, they were equally good-looking and talented. My eldest sister-in-law's family background was much higher than mine. They were a perfect match."

Just this one sentence was enough for people to piece together the truth. At this moment, the Second Prince's wife looked at her as if she were a fool. "You have a very broad mind."

Seeing that she wanted to ask more questions, Madam Xu interrupted her. It was only the first time they met, so it was not convenient to ask too many private things. She smiled and said to Xin An, "I have delayed the Second Young Master's wife from viewing the courtyard today. Please don't spread what I said today."

Xin An stood up and said, "Madam, you are too polite. It is not appropriate to let others know that the deal has not been completed. Madam, don't worry."

"If Madam and the Second Prince's wife have nothing else to do, I will take my leave first."

Madam Xu stood up to see her off, and only glared at the Second Prince's wife after she left, "What will it take to change your impatience?"

"Wouldn't mother want to hear it too?"

The Second Prince's wife picked up a piece of fruit and said, "It's not uncommon for people in the capital to carry two sedan chairs into their homes in one day. But this is the only family that went wrong. The groom entered the bridal chamber and couldn't come out. Who would believe this?"

"Are all those maids and servants in the courtyard just for show?"

"It's understandable that the groom was drunk, but the bride was also drunk and couldn't even recognize the groom?"

After all, she has not yet taken a high position, nor has she experienced the precipitation of time. She did not hide her thoughts in front of her closest relatives. "It's not like we haven't met before. This must be intentional by Tao Yiran. Also, Tang Rong is more valuable than Tang Mo. The fact that she came to seduce the second prince shows that she is not a quiet person. Tang Rong was sent to her, so why should she be pushed away?"

She was sure that Tang Rong had accidentally taken the wrong path, and Tao Yiran had managed to keep him here. The matter was settled, and there was no possibility of reversal. "It turns out that a dog can't change its nature."

"Pay attention to your status." Madam Xu glared at her, "Don't say vulgar words."

"After all, this is the Marquis's business. After they get married, she shouldn't have so many thoughts. Tang Rong is an outstanding young man in the capital."

"As for the one from the Xin family, your father's people have inquired about her. She was helping with business in her mother's family. She is not stupid."

Madam Xu analyzed what Xin An had just said and came to the conclusion, "If she really didn't care, she wouldn't have said that. She said she was praising the couple's talent and beauty, but she was actually telling us that it was Tao Yiran who did it, and she was just compromising."

"There will definitely not be no grudges between the Xin family and the Tang family as before. The marriage exchange is an insult to the Xin family, and Tang Gang is not smooth or thorough in his dealings. Your father's staff has carefully analyzed that although the Xin family is still under the protection of the Tang family, they should be more inclined to Tang Mo."

"Most of Tang Mo's reputation is ruined because of Tang Rong. They say he likes to fight, but how many people have seen him fight? Thinking back carefully, I heard all about it from Tang Rong."

"They are all legitimate sons, Tang Mo will never accept this......"

The Second Prince's wife listened for a while and asked, "Mother, do you think the Xin family is worth winning over?"

Madam Xu sat down beside her. "A salt merchant, a sugar merchant, and the vice president of the Huaijiang Chamber of Commerce, he is indeed valuable."

They originally considered the wife of Liao Zhi, the general of Beiya Army, who was the richest man in Xuzhou. However, Liao Zhi was loyal to the emperor, and most of the Xu family's money went into Liao Zhi's stomach. If it were not for the huge financial support, would Liao Zhi be able to suppress his second uncle and third uncle and sit firmly on the seat of the head of the Liao family?

"Your father's people have searched around and found that the Xin family has the most valuable and most likely to succeed. As for the Tang family..."

“Nothing to fear.”

Although Mr. Tang's decisive retirement preserved the Tang family's honor, he had no outstanding sons after losing his military power, and with his shallow foundation, the family only lasted a few years.

"There's no rush for this matter. Whether or not you can get the candy depends entirely on the Xin family's attitude. Later, you can find reasons to talk to the Second Young Master's wife more and help raise her status. As a businessperson, she will understand what you mean."

The Second Prince's wife nodded. As long as the man was not coveting her, everything would be fine.

Xin An didn't think about it too deeply as she walked back, mainly because she didn't have the time to do so. There were always people looking at her curiously, and some of them even looked at her with pity, which made her feel a little curious.

Yan Wenhui and the others in the pavilion saw Xin An coming back, and stepped forward to ask with concern: "How is it? Why did the Second Prince's wife look for you?"

Xin An smiled helplessly, "Just... curious."
