Xin An soon received the items sent by Gan Lu. They were all rare and precious. He was puzzled, "Why did grandma send me these valuable items?"

Gan Lu smiled and said, "When we were taking inventory of the storeroom today, the old lady saw these items and said that the Second Young Master's wife would definitely like them, so she asked them to be sent to her quickly."

Xin An looked at the treasures curiously, guessing that the old lady must have something to say, but she didn't say anything. She just curiously asked about the origins of the treasures. Gan Lu smiled and told her everything. At the end, she said: "The old lady wants to go to Nandu Temple to burn incense tomorrow, and asked the eldest and second young masters' wives to accompany her."

"If grandma wants to go, I will definitely accompany her."

Xin An understood what it meant immediately, "Please tell grandma that I will arrange for someone to go ahead and make arrangements. I will pick you up at Chunrong Hall tomorrow morning."

"Hey, Madam, take a rest first, we will go back."

Ganlu turned around with a smile, and just as she walked out of the door of Qiushiyuan, she met the maid beside Tao Yiran. The girl was called Baoqin, and she was really the one who held the zither for Tao Yiran. The zither was very important to Tao Yiran, so Baoqin was her personal maid.

After paying his respects to Ganlu, he did not go back to Chunhua Courtyard directly. Instead, he peeked around the door and got the news from the bragging of the maid from Qiushi Courtyard. He then ran back and told Tao Yiran about it.

Tao Yiran was preparing to burn incense tomorrow. When she heard about this, she stopped what she was doing and slowly sat down. Baoqin spoke up for her, "The old lady is too partial. She accompanied him to burn incense, but the second young lady got several rare items, but the young lady got nothing."

Tao Yiran raised her eyes and looked at Aunt Liu, "Aunt, does grandma have a misunderstanding about me?"

"Young Madam, don't think too much."

Aunt Liu said, "The Second Young Master's wife goes to Chunrong Hall every day to make the old lady like her very much, and she also gets a lot of benefits from it."

"It's normal to be partial when you get older, but they are just a few dead things, they are nothing."

Baoqin said, "The Second Young Master's wife is the most scheming. It has only been a short time and she has already visited the Second Prince's wife's residence. She is indeed a merchant girl and has no dignity at all."

Tao Yiran frowned slightly. Compared with the secrets of the Tao family, she didn't care at all about her and the second prince being exposed. Not to mention that Tang Rong had never asked about it, even if he asked, she could have just brushed it off in a few words. It was just that the prince of the royal family coveted her, and she was just too outstanding to be remembered, that's all.

Instead, it was Xin An who had to make her feel wary.

Baoqin was still complaining about the old lady's partiality. Tao Yiran, who didn't understand the old lady's painstaking efforts at all, only told her not to let Tang Rong know about it, worried that Tang Rong would think she was useless.

Aunt Liu, who always felt that something had been neglected by her, shook her head after thinking for a moment and became busy preparing things for Tao Yiran to take to burn incense tomorrow.

They didn't say anything, but Tang Rong could tell the truth through rumors. Qing Mo felt uneasy. Nanfeng asked him about the whereabouts of the prince several times. He suspected that the prince's accident was caused by the second young master.

But he did not know in advance that the Crown Prince was going to the Prince's Mansion, and he was sure that he had not told him, so he felt that it had nothing to do with the Second Young Master.

But he wouldn't say whether it mattered or not, he took the money.

Tang Rong's eyes were cold. "Secretly let someone spread the news that the old Prime Minister had a stroke. Also spread the news that the niece of the wife of the Minister of War had climbed into bed. I think the niece and aunt share the same husband, so I think they will be happy to hear about it."

This is to cover up the fact that he was bitten by a dog with more explosive news.

Qing Mo took the order and told him what happened just now. Tang Rong understood after just a moment's thought that this was his grandmother protecting him and Tao Yiran.

Aunt Yue was outside the door asking for a meeting, Qing Mo tactfully retreated. Aunt Yue's eyes were filled with tears when she saw Tang Rong. She was holding a book in her hand, and she smiled when she met Tang Rong's gaze. "I was worried that the prince would be bored, so I brought a book to read to him. Do you want to listen?"

Tang Rong nodded, "Thank you for your hard work."

Aunt Yue smiled and sat down on the edge of the bed, "I am happy to be able to study for the prince."

"I am lucky enough to be able to read, thanks to the grace of the prince and Aunt Cai. Being able to entertain the prince is the greatest use of my literacy."

Tang Rong thought of the kindness of Aunt Cai at this time. As soon as he lay down, this yard was somewhat out of his control. Tao Yiran's Aunt Liu was indeed a little stupid. Although Aunt Cai was a little less well-mannered, she was capable. If she were still alive, he would ask her to go to Chunrong Hall in person to thank his grandmother on his behalf to show courtesy.

"How is Aunt Cai?"

Aunt Yue shook her head, "I cannot leave Chunhua Courtyard, but I think Aunt is thinking about the prince."

Tang Rong said 'hmm', "You should study."

At this time in Qiushi Courtyard, Wang found Xin An and felt a little sorry for her. The previous grievances were still there, and now she had to make this trip for the sake of Tang Rong and Tao Yiran's face.

"Grandma is also very thoughtful. It doesn't matter to me."

Xin An comforted her, "I'm just going to burn incense, I'll be back in half a day, mother, don't worry."

"Grandmother also asked Aunt Ganlu to send several valuable items. I understand what she meant. Just think of it as me taking money from others to help them get rid of their misfortunes."

Wang took a deep breath, her expression still not very good, "No matter what, I still wronged you."

"No grievance, really."

I have done what I should do, so what’s the harm in being a good person?

But her trip would not be in vain. After all, her experience was truly sympathetic in the eyes of outsiders.

Wang felt sad for Tang Mo, but there were some things she couldn't tell her daughter-in-law. She could only ask someone to stop Tang Mo and bring him to her when he returned home.

Tang Mo said it didn't matter. "I wanted to test him before, but now there's no need. Ten fingers are not the same length. I have my mother who loves me and Xin An to help me. I think I'm much better than Tang Rong."

Being extremely disappointed, he no longer had any hope, and it was his destiny that he would not be favored by his father.

Wang wiped her tears, feeling that she owed Tang Mo a lot. After she gave birth to Tang Mo, Tang Rong was sick all day long, suffering from colds, high fever, headaches and diarrhea one after another. It was difficult for the stepmother, so she could only focus more on Tang Rong.

Later, Tang Gang kept saying to her that Tang Rong was pitiful and should study hard, but he didn't care much about Tang Mo. Whenever she saw Tang Mo's eyes longing for his father's love, she felt uncomfortable and struggled in her heart. Later, she found that as long as she was nice to Tang Rong, Tang Gang would give Tang Mo some care, so she treated Tang Rong even better.

Thinking back on it now, I feel really chilled. Until now, I still can't figure out what kind of father he was.

I also hate myself for being stupid. This child didn't come from my belly, so what's the point of being nice to him?

"Mom, I'm really fine. Why should I cry?"

Tang Mo was a little upset. He felt useless when his mother cried.

Wang wiped her tears and said, "I just feel aggrieved."
