After calming down, Wang recalled carefully and instantly had a reasonable explanation for Tao Yiran's behavior. She was indeed the daughter of an official family, but she was brought up by an elder of very poor background, and all she learned was how to please and control men.

Tang Gang paced back and forth with his hands behind his back. He still didn't believe that the old lady of the Tao family had such a background. He still had a chance in his heart. Wang sat down beside him and didn't give him any chance of luck. She said:

"What well-educated new daughter-in-law would send someone to call her husband back home regardless of the occasion just because she feels a little uncomfortable? Can calling him back cure the disease or something?"

"Fainting all the time, either with a headache or heartache, aren't these ways of winning favor? Your Majesty should not be unfamiliar with them."

Being ridiculed, Tang Gang stopped and looked at her. He didn't care that he was only being ridiculed. He just felt that the sky was overcast at the moment, "This..."

He sighed. He had no choice but to believe it now because he knew that even if Lady Changning was dissatisfied, she would not speak so recklessly. "Why didn't you find out about this before? If you had known..."

At this moment, he was still trying to shirk responsibility. How could Wang let him succeed? She sneered, "How could a woman like me easily find out such news? Doesn't the Marquis travel all day long and have countless friends? Is there no one who is kind enough to tell you the news?"

"There is another thing. She tried to seduce the Second Prince but was warned by the Second Prince's wife. Your Majesty should think about it in the future."

Tang Gang was speechless, and Wang continued to sneer, "It has come to this point. She has to swallow it even though she knows it is shit. She is so disgusting but she still has to force a smile and say it tastes good. If I had known earlier, I would have let her stay sick so that she would not be embarrassed when she goes out."

"Mrs. Changning is very difficult to deal with and seems to hold a grudge. I wonder if she will spread this matter behind my back."

She felt an inexplicable sense of pleasure in her heart at this moment. The noble families cared the most about their face and had extremely high requirements for their eldest daughter-in-law. After all, she would be the mistress of the family in the future. People like her whose family was not prominent enough would easily run into obstacles when making friends outside. The real powerful people would not even take her seriously. If Tao Yiran's background were to be publicized, who knows how she would be ostracized.

She really wanted to know how Tang Gang would handle this matter for his good son. After all, once the news spread widely, Tang Rong would be covered in shit that he couldn't wash off.

Tang Gang already felt like he had eaten shit at this moment, and began to imagine the ridicule and mockery of his colleagues after the truth was exposed. Their Tang family did not have a deep foundation to begin with, and if news got out that they were marrying into such a family, how could they still maintain their dignity.

"Send someone to the Tao family tomorrow and tell them that you learned some inside information about the Tao family from your visit to the Earl of Changning today. They are shocked and very worried. If the news spreads widely, it will be bad for the two families. Ask them to comfort the wife of the Earl of Changning."

After hesitating for a moment, he said, "I'll ask Manager Zhang to go and talk to him in person."

Why should his mansion clean up the mess of the Tao family? If the news gets out and the Tao family can't suppress it, he can just find a new daughter-in-law. His son is as precious as jade and as green as pine, so he must marry a girl from a duke's or earl's mansion to be a good match for him. This time there is no marriage arranged by the old man weighing on his head.

Once the thought came to my mind, I couldn't suppress it. The anger in my heart suddenly disappeared, and my mind was full of thoughts about changing my daughter-in-law.

"Someone is coming."

This time he didn't even plan to sleep. The girl guarding the door pushed the door open and came in. Before she could answer, she heard Tang Gang say, "Go and see if the prince has come back. Ask him to come to the study."

Seeing some excitement between his eyebrows, Wang was curious, "Have you thought of a way to deal with it, Lord?"

Tang Gang didn't answer. He grabbed his clothes and put them on and prepared to go out. "Madam, please take a rest. There's no need to wait."

He walked to the door and stopped, turned sideways and looked back, "Don't let mother know about this, lest she gets anxious and angry."

After saying that, he turned and left. Wang was suspicious and no longer wanted to sleep. She called her confidant to whisper a few words in his ear before letting him leave.

Tang Rong came back tonight drunk, and after entering Chunhua Courtyard, he stayed directly in Aunt Yue's room. He was being intimate with Aunt Yue when Tang Gang's people came to call him, and they left the room after a while. He was not in a very good mood to begin with, and when he heard Tang Gang telling him the inside story, he felt like he was struck by lightning.

He had been to brothels and was polite to the women there, and even praised their talents. However, no matter how much he admired them, it was limited to the brothels. He would never bring them back home. He was the next Marquis of Weiyuan, and his reputation could not be damaged in the slightest.

Now his own father actually told him that the wife he had worked so hard to get was the daughter of an elder in his family who used to do this kind of business and was personally taught by such an elder. What’s more important is that his wife, who seemed flawless in his eyes, had actually hooked up with the second prince?

"Father, is the news wrong?"

The intestines are all emerald green at this moment.

Tang Gang could understand his thoughts at the moment, but...

"Even if your mother doesn't like you, she would never make up such a lie. Lady Changning is also unlikely to make up such a lie. I will send someone to quietly investigate tomorrow. Regardless of whether it is true or not, we can only deal with it as it is."

"Once dirty water is thrown on you, it can never be washed away."

"Now you should think about how to deal with this matter?"

At this moment, Tang Rong had no time to think about how to deal with the situation. He just felt like the sky had fallen. If this got out, he would be the laughing stock of the capital. No wonder the Second Prince looked at her like that when she met him at the Duke of Enguo's Mansion. He must have thought he was a joke.

And Tang Mo, if his mother knew, it meant that Tang Mo would definitely know, he...

Tang Gang sighed, "Now that things have come to this, it's only a matter of time before the girl from the Tao family stays with you. It might explode at any time. What a pity..."

They shouldn't have gone to the trouble of asking the imperial physician to see her and spread the news to the Tao family, directly confirming her frailty, and then letting her pass away quietly. It would have been much better.

Unfortunately, the opportunity has been lost and will never come back.

"You are the heir of my mansion, and you will inherit the future prosperity of my mansion. You should have a wife from a distinguished family who can help you rise to the top. My mansion was built by your grandfather through military merit, and we cannot allow it to be damaged in the slightest. Think about this carefully."

Tang Rong raised his eyes, his eyes were calm, then he lowered them, no one knew what he was thinking. There was silence in the study for a long time, and the father and son sat in silence.

Soon Wang learned the content of the secret conversation between the two. She nodded calmly, sent the man away and went to bed. The couple had slept in the same bed for nearly twenty years, but she had no idea that the man, who looked mediocre, was actually a cruel person.

He actually wanted to take risks for the sake of his eldest son. Who dares to say that he is not decisive?

As expected, love for one’s son is deep.
