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

Wang felt a little embarrassed. Although she didn't like Tao Yiran, Tao Yiran had already entered the gate of the Marquis' Mansion. Lady Changning was so ruthless, which showed that she didn't take the Marquis' Mansion seriously at all.

Seeing her unhappy expression, Lady Changning had no intention of settling the matter peacefully. "Madam Tang, I am a straightforward person and my words may not be pleasant to hear. Your vision in choosing a daughter-in-law is really not very good."

Wang, who was a little distracted, was about to refute subconsciously. She had lost all her dignity and face after today's trip. How could she, a marquis's wife, allow a baron's wife to point at her nose and scold her?

"Madam Ning, what are you talking about? Everyone in Kyoto knows my eldest daughter-in-law. She is talented, well-educated, pretty, and not ostentatious. She was indeed inappropriate in what happened yesterday, but she is okay in general."

When she said this, Lady Changning raised her eyebrows, "It seems that Madam Tang knows nothing?"

Wang frowned slightly, "Please tell me what Madam Ning means."

I feel more and more uncertain.

Seeing her expression, Lady Changning sneered, thinking that Wang might really not know. Since she didn't know, she would kindly tell her and use her own hands to deal with Tao Yiran and slap her daughter's face in public. She would never let Tao Yiran go easily.

"The girl from the Tao family used to be very popular in the capital. Everyone praised her for her knowledge, wisdom, and talent. Such a girl should be sought after by hundreds of families, but not many people wanted to marry her. Didn't Madam Tang have any doubts?"

Wang was suspicious, "Mrs. Tao said before that she had high standards, but she rejected them all."

Lady Changning laughed at Wang's stupidity. "It's only been a dozen years since your Tang family became prosperous. It's normal that you don't know some things."

Wang took a deep breath and suppressed her anger, "Please let Madam Ning know."

Madam Ning took a sip of tea before saying, "I am telling you this out of kindness because I see that you are confused. The old lady of the Tao family is not Mr. Tang's original wife. She was just Mr. Tao's mistress when he was away on a post. Yes, she is not even a mistress. She is just a bed warmer born to a concubine in a brothel."

Wang screamed and quickly covered her mouth, obviously shocked. She really didn't know about this.

"Isn't it said that the old lady's family is a prominent family from other places?"

Lady Changning asked sarcastically, "A prominent family?"

"A prostitute who was engaged in the flesh trade was lucky enough to get pregnant with a rich businessman's child. She was taken into his mansion as a concubine. Later, in order to curry favor with Mr. Tao, the rich businessman sent the concubine's daughter to warm his bed, and she ended up getting pregnant."

"It just so happened that Mrs. Tao had been married for many years but had not given birth to any children. She was also in poor health and was gradually dying. The bed-warmer inherited her mother's true skills and was very skilled. She changed her status and gave birth to a son, becoming the successor of the Tao family."

Wang was so shocked that her head was buzzing, "The old lady of the Tao family is this bed-warmer, and the son she gave birth to is the current Lord Tao?"

"Exactly."

The wife of the Marquis of Changning gave her a meaningful look. "A concubine's daughter of a merchant family was changed to a legitimate daughter and married into the Tao family. This was allowed by the Tao family. After all, the incense is too important. However, this matter is easier said than done. Naturally, they have to beautify and cover up a little bit for her. But there is no wall that is impenetrable. Naturally, there are people in the capital who know the inside story, but Weiyuan Marquis Mansion is not one of them."

As for Wang's family, which was already in decline, they knew even less about it.

Before Wang could come back to her senses, Lady Changning said, "There is another thing that Lady Tang also seems to be unaware of."

Wang's heart was beating fast, this was not enough, what else was going on with the Tao family?

The wife of the Marquis of Changning didn't care what she was thinking and said directly, "It is said that this humble concubine grew up in a brothel. I don't know who her biological father is. She has been taught how to seduce men since she was a child. Do you think such a person can raise a decent girl?"

"She became the wife of an official, so she naturally wouldn't allow anyone to mention her shameful birth. In order to control her son-in-law, she forcibly took her granddaughter to her side... and taught her personally."

These four words are particularly meaningful. "Have you not noticed that no noble family has ever invited the old lady of the Tao family to a banquet?"

"If it weren't for Tao Changci's ability and good political reputation in recent years, your mother-in-law wouldn't have had the opportunity to attend banquets of various families. After all, she entered the Tao family without knowing it, and she must be regretting it in her heart."

The lady of the Changning Marquis had a very sarcastic look on her face, looking at Wang as if she was laughing at a joke. "In short, Tao Yiran is just learning the ways of prostitutes in brothels. How many girls from noble families would risk their lives to learn the piano just to be in the limelight and hook up with men?"

"There is another one." As if Wang's provocation was not enough, Lady Changning told her another story, "Tao Yiran had previously hooked up with the Second Prince and was reprimanded by the Second Prince's wife. Many people also know about this."

"Mrs. Tang should go out more often."

"You should be feeling lucky right now."

After telling Tao Yiran's shameful secrets, Lady Changning felt a little relieved. If anyone dared to fall into her hands, he should be prepared to never be able to raise his head in front of others for the rest of his life.

Wang did not say anything for a long time, sweat soaking her back. Her first feeling after learning the inside story was not gloating, but fear. At this moment, she really wanted to kowtow to the Buddha. She had never been so grateful for her original plan.

She said that Tao Yiran's behavior was not like that of an official's daughter. She pretended to be sick and weak, and often shed tears and fainted. It turned out that it was... her family tradition.

"Madam Ning..., is everything you said true?"

“It’s really horrifying.”

Lady Changning did not answer directly, "You should know whether it is true or not."

"Whether someone has received a good upbringing or not, you can tell by looking at them a few more times."

Wang was almost knocked unconscious by the blows of a club. Lady Changning gave her some comfort at the end, "Although your second daughter-in-law is from a salt merchant family, she knows how to act and behave properly. This is what a legitimate daughter of a wealthy family should be like."

"Comparing the two, the difference is not even a little bit."

Wang let out a long breath and calmed herself down. At this moment, she had no desire to sit down any longer, for fear that Lady Changning would say something else that she would not be able to bear.

The Tao family's affairs no longer only involved Tang Rong, but also the entire Marquis' Mansion. She knew that if one suffered, all would suffer. She stood up slowly and said, "Thank you for telling me."

"I will go back today. I will invite Madam Ning to the opera another day."

The wife of the Earl of Changning did not try to persuade her to stay. She curled her lips slightly and said, "Madam Tang, you are going to leave."

Wang felt better when the sun shone on her body. As soon as she got in the car, sweat started to flow down her forehead. The maid beside her hurriedly wiped her sweat off. "Madam, relax. Fortunately, our second young master's wife is a good person. There is no need to worry."

Wang's mind was filled with what Lady Changning had said. The families in the capital have been passed down from generation to generation, so which family doesn't have some secrets that may not be exposed?

What the Tao family is doing is really...absurd!

If Tang Gang knew about this, wouldn’t he be so angry that he would die?

For some reason, I felt strangely happy.

"Let's go to Wang's house. I haven't been back for a while."

At this moment, she didn't want to go back to the Marquis' Mansion at all. The carriage turned around and headed towards Wang's house. On the way, Wang slowly adjusted her mood and thought about the next plan.
