Tao Yiran had expected this to happen, and she only regretted that she should not have believed those people's flattery. But now that things have come to this, she only needs this cheap mother-in-law in front of her to pick her up high and put her down gently.

Wang looked at her coldly, and was glad that she had planned to change the wedding courtyard two days before the wedding, planning to have Xin An as her daughter-in-law. If her wife was Tao Yiran, she would probably regret it to death.

"Improper consideration?"

Wang raised her voice, "Not to mention that you come from an official family and have been surrounded by books since childhood, even girls from ordinary families know that they should behave differently after getting married."

"Don't you know why unmarried girls and boys sing and play for fun?"

"You know it's inappropriate but still want to get close to it. You are trampling on the reputation of the Marquisate."

Tao Yiran had never been so severely blamed before. She felt very wronged and her eyes were filled with tears. Wang Shi didn't buy her tricks. "You are the wife of the prince of the Marquis's Mansion. You have status and dignity. Don't learn those unpresentable behaviors."

"You choose your own path, so you should know what you should and shouldn't do."

"I order you to stay indoors for half a month and reflect on yourself. Go down."

Tao Yiran turned around politely, staggered a bit, and then walked out the door in embarrassment. Wang picked up the teacup and took a sip, with the corners of her lips slightly raised.

Soon Xin An arrived and sat down to drink tea calmly. Wang asked the waiters to leave and asked, "You said something happened today. What was it?"

Xin An did not hide anything and told Mrs. Tao about her plan, and also let Wang know that "Nan Feng bribed a maid next to my sister-in-law."

Wang raised an eyebrow, "Reliable?"

People who can serve closely are the most difficult to bribe, and Wang was worried that she would be bitten back by the other party.

Xin An said: "Whether or not it is reliable is just a matter of how much benefit is given. The eldest sister-in-law is frugal, so her maid is naturally not well-off either."

Wang nodded, "It seems that you are using it easily, Nanfeng."

That was the concubine she had prepared for Tang Mo earlier. Tang Mo had never accepted her. Unexpectedly, it fell into Xin An's hands. It was not in vain that she had spent so much time and effort on Nan Feng.

"It's my mother's fault for teaching me well. Madam Tao is a bit scheming. If her plan succeeds, it will kill three birds with one stone. Fortunately, my sister-in-law is timid and didn't act after being scared by me. I'm afraid Madam Tao will not give up."

Wang sneered, "I will handle this matter. If she dares to take action, mother will treat you to a good show."

Judging from her own experience, she had long guessed that the Tao family would definitely take action and had made preparations early on.

"Thank you for your hard work, mother."

"You and I are like mother and daughter, no need to be polite. You are tired today, so go and rest early."

Xin An stood up and said, "I asked Aunt Wang to stew some bird's nest and keep it warm. I'll bring it to mother later. After mother has used it, she can rest early."

"Did your grandmother send it to you?"

"Aunt Wang has already sent it over."

Wang was becoming more and more satisfied with Xin An. "You are very thorough. Mother is relieved. Go ahead."

Xin Anfu bowed and turned to leave. What Wang said was right. She was indeed tired today. Her back ached and she felt exhausted all over.

When they got back to Qiushi Courtyard, Aunt Wang immediately brought up some bird's nests. "You must not have eaten enough at the banquet today. There are some porridge and side dishes in the kitchen. You can have some later."

He took off his shoes and leaned on the beauty couch. He took the bowl and took a bite. He felt hungry at first, but after taking a bite of the bird's nest, he felt hungry. After eating it in a few bites, he asked Aunt Wang to give Nanfeng five taels of silver. Aunt Wang didn't ask and directly took the silver and gave it to Nanfeng. Nanfeng took the silver and later met Xin An. Xin An smiled and said, "You did a good job today. You can't relax in the future, but don't be too hasty. Take it slowly."

Nan Feng nodded, "I know that if the young lady takes a fancy to me, Nan Feng will not let her down."

Xin An smiled and said, "I believe you. You've been tired all day, so go have dinner."

Aunt Wang smiled and said that she had stewed Tremella soup today. "It's just right to drink it warm. Miss Nanfeng, have a bowl first to fill your stomach. The food will have to wait for a while."

"Thank you, aunt."

After resting for a short while, there was a commotion next door. Chunlu hurried in, "Madam, the eldest Madam next door fainted."

Xin An smiled, and it was unclear whether he was really dizzy or pretending. He became more and more skilled in playing the role of a delicate and weak person. "Tell the kitchen to prepare a hangover soup for the second young master, and wait for him to drink it when he comes back."

Soon the gate of Qiushiyuan was closed. Xin An didn't know when Tang Mo came back that night. When he opened his eyes, Tang Mo was about to go out to work again.

"woke up?"

Xin An woke up and asked, "When did you come back last night?"

"You came back late." Tang Mo smiled and walked over to sit on the edge of the bed. "You were asleep when I came back, so I slept next to you in case I disturbed you. I drank the hangover soup and a bowl of porridge just now. My stomach feels much better now."

Xin An found it funny, so she asked him if he had stomach problems.

Tang Mo continued, "I will be back for dinner tonight. I have a day off tomorrow. There will be a Cuju match tomorrow. Let's go watch it together."

"sure."

Xin An was very happy. "How about I take a good rest today and go out to play all day tomorrow?"

Tang Mo agreed, and when he saw that the time was almost up, he stood up and said, "I'll come back and tell mother. You can take a rest. Mother just sent someone to say that you don't need to go to pay respects today. You can go to grandma's place later."

"You were tired yesterday, so take a rest. I'm leaving now."

Seeing him walk with a breeze, although I haven't asked him about yesterday's banquet, I can tell that it must have been good.

"The Second Young Master came back with the Crown Prince last night. They were both very drunk. The Second Young Master was able to walk on his own, but the Crown Prince was carried into Chunhua Courtyard."

Chunyang helped Xin An dress up and told her about Tang Mo's return last night. "He went to rest after eating the hangover soup. Aunt Wang had someone prepare bird's nest porridge early in the morning, and the second young master had two bowls."

"The Second Young Master was very happy when he came back last night."

Xin An was dressed relatively simply today. She wore the everlasting flower that Wang had given her earlier on her head. She did not wear too many jewelry. She stroked her hair gently and said, "I'm going to wash my hair this afternoon."

Chunyang said he had made a new shampoo, "added some medicinal herbs, and said that after washing, the hair would be black and shiny."

After breakfast, Chunlu said that the doctor next door had been called in again. "It's really strange. The doctor has come several times and only prescribed a prescription once, and it was still some tonic medicine. This time, he didn't prescribe any prescription at all. He said to continue taking the tonic medicine he had taken before and to rest more."

"How can I rest if I don't even go out?"

Chun Yang laughed and said, "How could I have avoided what happened yesterday without getting sick?"

"Speaking of the truth."

The two girls were always cautious in front of Xin An. Xin An raised his eyes and said, "From now on, just say these words in the room. Don't say a word when you go out."

The two nodded honestly, "We know."
