The sun rose in the east, birds were singing among the trees, Xin An, who had a good night's sleep, was feeding her goldfish in the yard, Rouqiu was chasing a ball of string in the yard, Chunyang stepped forward and reported, "Madam, someone from Madam's side came and said that you don't have to go, Madam Tao is here."

The two of them agreed to talk about the Marquis' Mansion's assistance to the old soldiers this morning. Xin An was not in a hurry if he couldn't go, and he was not surprised by Madam Tao's arrival.

At this time, she didn't know the inside story. She just thought that although it was inappropriate for Tao Yiran to play the piano in public, it was not a capital crime. At most, she would be scolded. Little did she know that Lady Changning would directly lift the fig leaf of Tao family, turning a small matter into a crisis for Tao family.

"Grandmother is in Chunrong Hall?"

Chunyang said, "She said that the old lady had asked her sisters to continue to listen to the opera, and she has already left."

"Didn't you go to the opera yesterday?"

Chunyang didn't say anything. Xin An smiled and slapped the fish food in his hand. "In that case, let's take a good rest today."

"Invite Dr. Zhao here and ask her to help me with my facial and to relax my shoulders."

She had seen Dr. Zhao help the old lady loosen her back and used a kind of flower oil. Not only did it smell good, but the old lady said that after the loosening, her whole body felt comfortable and her skin was much smoother. "And dye it with nail polish."

She had never experienced these things in her previous life, so naturally she had to try them all now. The last time she saw the Second Prince's wife, her nails were painted very nicely, and she didn't know who had painted them for her.

"Go and ask Aunt Wang to come."

By the way, give the gifts that should be given.

In the main hall of the front yard, Mrs. Tao was wiping her tears in front of Wang, because housekeeper Zhang had arrived at the Tao's house at dawn. When Mr. and Mrs. Tao heard the news, they felt like the sky had fallen. The secret of their Tao family had been exposed, and they had no fig leaf left.

He immediately sent a visiting card to the Marquis of Changning's Mansion and increased the generous gift he had prepared yesterday by 50%. Then he came to the Marquis' Mansion, wanting to know more details.

Wang said, "Mrs. Changning loves her daughter dearly. She has said everything that should and shouldn't be said, and she will not let it go. I'm afraid only the Tao family can calm Mrs. Changning's anger. If possible, bring the eldest daughter-in-law with you to show your sincerity."

"But don't worry, the Marquis and I are the only ones who know about this matter in the Marquis' Mansion. After all, this also involves the reputation of the Marquis' Mansion."

It was made very clear that the Marquis' Mansion would not clean up the mess for the Tao family, and Wang did not lie, so she did not plan to tell Xin An and Tang Mo about this. Some things should be done by her as a mother, and there was no need to involve her son and daughter-in-law, and to avoid two young and unstable people from doing anything irreparable.

"Mother-in-law, I..."

Madam Tao didn't know what to say to save her face. She hesitated and finally sighed, "For the sake of our children's in-laws, please help us."

Wang's lips curled slightly, "Madam Tao, I sympathize with you on this matter, but the marriage between children is a good thing for two families, and interests come first. To be honest, this matter is not a big deal for the Marquis' Mansion."

Before Madam Tao could think of anything, Wang continued, "Strictly speaking, the marriage between your daughter and my son is somewhat improper. No matter how we try to cover it up, it will only be a lie. You should be very clear about the attitudes of the women at the Shuihua Banquet."

"This matter of the Tao family is a hidden danger. The present situation of our mansion is hard-won, and our reputation cannot be damaged. Lord Tao, please spend some time to think about it."

"This is also what my Lord meant."

He wanted to plot against the three of them, mother and two of them, and even had the nerve to make demands. It was good enough that she didn't take advantage of their misfortune at this time.

The original plan of Lord Tao and his wife at home was to have the Marquis' Mansion step in to take care of the matter thoroughly. Whether they were willing or not, the two families were now in the same boat and would prosper together. They were sure that the Marquis' Mansion would not ignore it.

Who knew that the Marquis' Mansion would just withdraw directly, which was contrary to expectations. Madam Tao's heart dropped to the bottom. If this matter got out and the Marquis' Mansion stabbed her in the back, the Tao family would have no chance of gaining a foothold in the capital.

Even if I have the nerve to stay in the capital, I'm afraid I won't be able to go out and see people.

Wang picked up the teacup and said, "Madam Tao, you should think of a solution as soon as possible. The sooner the better."

Mrs. Tao stood up and said that she had prepared a generous gift and would now take Tao Yiran to the Changning Marquis's Mansion to ask for the Marquis's forgiveness.

Today, Tao Yiran took the initiative to mention that she wanted to pay respects to the elders in the mansion, and she got up early. Unfortunately, the old lady and Wang were busy, so she gave up the matter.

She was not idle in the yard either. She began to deal with some trivial matters in the yard. She wrote a visiting card to visit her good friend and asked someone to bring fabric to make clothes for Tang Rong. It can be said that this was the first time she was so diligent since she got married.

Aunt Liu was praising her a lot and was even more delighted to see Madam Tao coming. However, before she could say anything, Madam Tao called Tao Yiran into the house and sent the servants away. Even Aunt Liu couldn't stand it.

An incense stick later, Tao Yiran, with red eyes, followed Madam Tao out the door and took away a few boxes. Chunlu asked someone but couldn't find out the reason, and because Doctor Zhao was there, she didn't tell Xin An.

"What is the Second Young Master's wife doing?"

Wang was somewhat worried that Tang Mo and Xin An were being aggressive and unstable, fearing that they had received news from other places. The people below replied, "The Second Young Master's wife invited Zhao the doctor to come to the mansion to dye the nail polish."

Wang smiled, "It's a good thing to love beauty."

The maidservant smiled and said, "It can be seen that the Second Young Master's wife likes to dress up. She dresses up beautifully, and we like her very much too."

Wang remembered that there was a set of velvet headgear in the storeroom, "Find it and send it to the Second Young Master's wife."

Xin An was very relaxed that day. Apart from arranging two things for Aunt Wang to do, she just let Doctor Zhao help her with facial massage and back loosening. Not only fingernails, but also toenails were dyed. It took her half a day to complete the whole process. She was very satisfied with her pink and tender nails. "How about Doctor Zhao come to help me dye my nails once every two weeks?"

In fact, Qingyang and the others also know how to dye their hair, but they are not as good as Doctor Zhao, and the colors are not bright enough.

With a long-term, stable and generous customer, Zhao Doctor naturally had no reason to refuse. "The Second Young Master's wife has very good skin, but she has been slightly sunburned. The sun is too strong to damage the skin, so she should avoid it."

"You need to avoid it."

These were posted while watching the game yesterday. "Is Doctor Zhao okay this afternoon?"

"No, does the Second Young Master's wife have any other instructions?"

Xin An tilted his head, "Qingyang, go ask mother if she wants to dye one too, or apply a facial mask?"

Qingyang went there quickly, and when he came back, Wang came with him. Seeing Xin An's radiant face after applying the facial mask, and her dyed nails, she smiled and said, "When your grandmother applied the facial mask, I wanted to try it. I have nothing to do in the afternoon, so I asked Zhao to apply it on me as well."
