That night, Tang Mo and his wife almost collapsed the bed because of how they tossed and turned. How could they fall asleep without figuring out the secrets in the mansion?

His tossing and turning affected Xin An, who was so angry that she kicked him and said, "Why are you so curious? I will tell you when I should. If mother doesn't tell you, she must have her reasons."

Tang Mo turned sideways, "I don't believe you're not curious."

"I..."

Xin An closed his eyes and said, "I'm quite curious as well."

"but..."

She opened her eyes again and said, "He's asleep. I'll ask quietly later."

Tang Mo sighed deeply and said that he had been busy recently. Liao Zhi had been eyeing him and had given him a task. "It's not difficult, but it's not easy either. I want to do it well."

"Mrs. Liao must have told him about you, so he set his sights on me. This is my chance."

"That's a good thing."

Xin An told him to work hard and not to worry about the family matters. "I and my mother are here. What can't we do?"

"Too."

Tang Mo quietly moved back a bit, "You are more experienced than mother. You have been in charge of the mansion longer. In your previous life, you were ugly and lived longer."

He immediately closed his eyes and pretended to be dead. Xin An opened his eyes and said, "Your whole family is ugly."

Tang Mo moved closer to the bed, "Well, I'm the ugliest."

In the following days, Tang Mo almost never came back for dinner. Xin An knew what he was doing but didn't mind. However, Wang scolded Tang Mo again and again in front of her. Xin An smiled and said, "Men have to socialize when they are out. Besides, there is nothing to do at home. Let him be busy."

"I'm going to the Wang family to congratulate them tomorrow. Would you like to come with me, mother?"

Wang You was going to marry a daughter-in-law, and he sent an invitation early. Xin An wanted to go there a day early to send gifts and ask about the situation of the old soldiers in the Wang family.

"The food my grandmother gave me has been allocated, and it's time to put it down."

Wang was worried that Xin An would not be able to handle the situation smoothly, so she agreed and said, "There is no rush. We have to wait until the Wang family is done with their busy schedule."

With Wang in front to support her, Xin An felt much more relaxed. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law chatted for a while. They thought Xin An would be curious about the Tao family, but she never mentioned a word from beginning to end. Wang nodded secretly. She was a steady person.

A maid came over quickly and said, "Madam, there are a few people outside the door. They said they came from Huaijiang and came to seek refuge with Madam."

Xin An was stunned for a moment, then his face lit up with joy, "It must be Uncle Bai and the others. I'll go pick them up."

Seeing her leave in such a hurry, Wang smiled and shook her head, and asked Pingqiu to go and see who had come and make proper arrangements.

There was a carriage parked outside the gate of the Marquis' Mansion, and behind it were several carts covered with rain curtains, which were loaded with a lot of goods.

An old man in his fifties stroked his beard and looked at the door plaque, and said to the person next to him: "Look at the front of the mansion, how magnificent it is."

"You said our eldest girl should be doing well."

The person who spoke was Xin An's Uncle Bai, Qin Bai, a skinny old man. If Fang Da hadn't been there, he might not have been able to order the doorman of the Marquis' Mansion around.

Fang Da looked a little worried. He was from the capital, so he naturally knew how these nobles looked down on merchants. The eldest daughter had gone from being the Crown Prince's Consort to the Second Young Master's Wife for no reason, which had caused the Xin family to be secretly laughed at for a long time, and some people even made fun of them in person. Under such circumstances, he really couldn't imagine how well the eldest daughter could live in the Marquis's Mansion.

"Doctor Qin, Divine Doctor Qin, why don't you wear the decent clothes that Madam prepared for you?"

The mess came and it was a joke.

Qin Bai was exhausted after traveling all the way from Huaijiang River. He was a little unkempt, as he didn't care much about his clothes. However, he didn't care.

"I deal with medicinal herbs all day long. Not only would it be uncomfortable to wear nice clothes, but it would also be a waste. It's fine like this."

Fang Da wanted to say that it was fine in Huaijiang, but he would have to save face for the young lady in the Marquis' Mansion. Before he could finish his words, the thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl beside him spoke up, "Dad, Master is used to dressing like this, the young lady won't mind."

As they were talking, Xin An came over and said, "Uncle Da, Uncle Bo, how come you guys came so quickly?"

"Xiaoxiao is here too?"

Xin An was very happy to see his family. The three of them came forward to greet him. Xin An supported them and said, "It's been a long time since we last met. I missed you so much."

It has been a long time since we last met. In Xin An’s eyes, it has been at least five years.

Qin Bai walked up the stairs with a smile, "Young lady, please tell me something about this pedantic scholar who thinks I am not well dressed and wants to embarrass you."

Xin An said with a smile: "Uncle Fangda, please don't say anything about him. Uncle Bai doesn't rely on his clothes. Even if he wears a rag, many people still come to him to ask for help."

"That's right." Qin Bai turned his head and said proudly, "As long as I want, I can wear golden clothes."

Fangda was helpless and muttered, "How heavy is the golden robe? Aren't you afraid of being crushed by it?"

Xin An smiled happily, "Uncle Fangda, come in quickly."

At this time, Aunt Wang also came and asked her to arrange the goods and people. Fang Da then felt at ease and followed her into the house.

After entering the door, he began to look around carefully. Seeing that the servants in the mansion who were looking at him did not show any disdain or contempt, he felt relieved. As soon as he walked into the courtyard, he heard the voice of Manager Zhang from behind. He was a little out of breath after just coming back. Xin An stopped and asked, "Manager Zhang, is there anything wrong?"

Manager Zhang bowed and said, "Second Young Master Madam, I didn't know that Huaijiang's relatives had guests coming today. I'm sorry for the inconvenience."

"I didn't get any advance information."

Xin An introduced Fang Da and Qin Bai to him. Manager Zhang didn't know Fang Da, but Qin Bai's name sounded familiar to him. "I heard there's a genius doctor in Huaijiang named Sai Yan Wang, who is a guest of Xin's family. But what about this guy in front of you?"

The old man stood with his hands behind his back, looking like he was a bright boy. Fang Da added, "Before coming to the capital, Uncle Bo and the master had already become brothers of different surnames. Now he is no longer a guest of the Xin family."

Xin An tilted his head and blinked, "Uncle Bai, do you think I'm your father and elder brother?"

"Should I change my tune?"

Qin Bai is five years older than Xin Kuan. The couple has lived in the Xin family's villa for many years. Everyone in Huaijiang knows that he is a guest of the Xin family. His medical skills are so great that some people have tried to steal him away over the years. However, on the one hand, it is very expensive to support him and he is still spending more than earning. On the other hand, he has chosen Xin Kuan himself, so he has not been swayed.

"Did my father ask you for help?"

Qin Bai looked at her sideways, and then...

Xin An said that he couldn't describe that smile, it felt like Qin Bai had taken advantage of him.

Manager Zhang was even more respectful, and hurriedly said that he would arrange a guest room as soon as possible. Xin An stopped him and said, "Manager Zhang, there is no need to make arrangements. Uncle Fangda and Uncle Bo, no, Uncle Qin will stay in the capital for a longer time this time. The Xin family's house is almost renovated, and I will send someone to take them there later."

Manager Zhang felt a little regretful. Fang Da didn't care, but Qin Bai was different. If there was a miracle doctor in the mansion, it would be of great benefit to the Marquis's mansion.

Fang Da cupped his hands and said, "Manager Zhang, is the Marquis in the mansion?"

He brought the money that the Xin family gave to the Marquis' Mansion every year, which had to be handed over to Tang Gang in person.
