Although Wang was upset, her son was there to persuade her. She also wanted to consider her dignity as a mother. She was afraid that her son would feel bad too, so she quickly wiped away her tears, drank some tea to suppress the bitterness in her heart, took a deep breath, and changed the subject, "How are you and Xin An?"

The two of them go in and out together, live in the same room and sleep in the same bed, but they haven't consummated their marriage yet. Although the old mother doesn't say it, she is very anxious in her heart.

Tang Mo touched his nose awkwardly, "It's okay, let it be."

They knew each other too well, and both had their own issues on their mind. He was a little afraid to go any further, fearing that the current harmonious situation would be ruined.

Wang didn't urge him, it was just a matter of time. She took another deep breath and began to adjust her state, thinking that she should find an appropriate time to fight with Tang Gang again, so as to vent her inner frustration.

The night slowly fell. Tang Gang, who had finally settled his troubles, was now being scolded in Chunrong Hall. The same old rhetoric sounded somewhat annoying to him.

Tang Rong is his eldest son, who was born with great expectations. He has been smart and clever since childhood, and is outstanding in appearance, manners and talent. He dares to say that such a son will be the most beloved younger generation no matter which family he is in.

Tang Mo was born late, was not the eldest, and was not as smart and considerate as the eldest son. When he grew up, he was inferior to the eldest son in every way. As a father, it was normal for him to have some favoritism.

But no matter how much he favored his eldest son, he never treated his second son harshly. Didn't he allow his second son to have good food and drink until today?

Now the couple is living in harmony, and there is also a father-in-law who is partial to him. What is there to be dissatisfied about?

In short, he didn't listen to a word the old lady said. He stood up and bowed, "Mother, I have been busy with the affairs of the court recently. I am overwhelmed and can't take care of the affairs of the mansion for the time being. I hope mother will take care of me."

"My son has important things to deal with, so I'm sorry to disturb my mother's rest."

The old lady raised her eyes with disappointment in them, and her tightly pursed lips also showed the disappointment she couldn't express, "You can't listen to what I say."

Tang Gang frowned slightly, "Mother, I am really tired."

Gan Lu stepped forward to smooth things over, "Old lady, let the Marquis have a rest. He has been busy these past few days and must be tired."

"Wait a few days until the Marquis is free to talk about it?"

The old lady closed her eyes. Tang Gang bowed again and left quickly. The old lady also stood up slowly without saying another word. However, she felt extremely heavy in her heart. The wind direction in the mansion had changed, but Tang Gang, who claimed to be the head of the family, was completely unaware of it.

I don’t know how big of a mistake I will make.

Unfortunately, Tang Gang could not understand the old lady's painstaking efforts. He just felt dizzy and angry, but he could not find a place to vent.

It just so happened that at this time he met Tang Mo, who had just appeased Wang and was about to go out.

Tang Gang looked at him coldly, thinking that he was going to complain to the old lady. Even if it wasn't him, it would be Wang or Xin An. He couldn't afford to offend one of the two women, and he couldn't afford to offend the other. All his anger naturally went to Tang Mo, "Your grandmother is old, don't bother her with trivial matters."

Tang Mo was speechless. What was he doing?

"Father, I came to mother's place after returning home. What happened to grandmother?"

"Didn't you go and talk nonsense to your grandmother?"

He originally wanted to strike a blow to scare Tang Mo, Wang Shi and Xin An, and they would stop. Unfortunately, Tang Mo was also angry at the moment. He was not good at forbearance, so he chose to retort directly, "In my father's eyes, am I someone who only goes to my grandmother to complain?"

"Father believes that my eldest brother is a banished immortal from heaven, but don't think that your son is the mud in the gutter. I am not as despicable as you think."

"presumptuous!"

Tang Gang was furious, "Is this how you talk to your father?"

Tang Mo refused to give in. "As soon as the father saw his son, he was sure that his son had done something dirty behind his back, and he couldn't even let his son refute it."

There was a hint of sarcasm in his eyes. "Didn't father tell everyone about his son's excellence a few days ago? He made people outside think that father valued his son very much."

"Why, is my son not outstanding now?"

He didn't tell anyone, because a little spark really burned in his heart, thinking that his father would see that he was working hard to make progress.

How ironic.

Tang Gang's face turned pale and blue. He looked up and saw Wang coming out and standing at the door staring at him.

Tang Mo didn't want her mother to bother arguing for him anymore, so he chose to go on his own. "It's understandable that my father feels bad for my eldest brother's injury, but this is not a reason for you to wrongly accuse someone."

"It was like this once, and it was like this twice. What did I do to displease my father so much?"

"Father, there is no such thing as a third time. If you wrongly accuse me again, I will have to make it clear since I have taken the blame. Then, please don't blame me for not thinking of brotherhood."

Tang Gang clenched his fists. Even if he was really wronged, he was his father. How could this rebellious son dare to talk to him like that?

"Father has been tired these days, so he should rest early."

Tang Mo left, and Wang walked down the stairs slowly. She faced Tang Gang with a cold look in her eyes, "I know you haven't had a good time these past two days, so I didn't talk to you about your accusation against the second brother, but you shouldn't continue to accuse him without knowing the truth."

"You come from your mother, right? Did your mother say that you are partial?"

Tang Gang did not answer. Wang showed a sarcastic look on her face, "You know that mother has heard rumors outside and believes that the eldest son's wife is unlucky. Tomorrow she will take her to Nandu Temple to burn incense and ask the Bodhisattva to bless them and their husband."

"And he is worried that the outside world will confirm the rumors, so he wants to take the second son's wife with him. My Lord, if you want to say who is really wronged, aren't the second son and his wife the most wronged?"

"Mother knows everything, but for the sake of the peace of the mansion and to comfort me, she was afraid that I would lose my mind and do something foolish, so she told you."

"This is the truth of the matter. I hope this is the last time that the Marquis wrongly accuses the Second Brother."

After saying that, she turned around, not paying any attention to Tang Gang's frustration and fatigue. Of course, she knew Tang Gang's current situation. The son she was so proud of almost died, all her plans were disrupted and it was a mess. The family was still in chaos, and anyone would feel uncomfortable.

But wasn't this his own fault?

The moon was bright and the stars were sparse. Tang Mo was walking on the road in a restless mood. He stopped and walked towards the small garden. He sat down in front of the stone table, wanting to adjust his mood before returning.

Lai Lai was standing not far away, sighing silently in his heart. He had followed the young master since he was a child, so he naturally knew how much the young master wanted the recognition of the Marquis. But no matter how hard he tried, the Marquis didn't even have him in his eyes.

The sound of cicadas had disappeared in autumn, and only insects in the grass could occasionally make sounds. A very light sound of footsteps came from behind. Lai Lai turned around and hurriedly said, "Greetings, Madam Young Master."
