Tang Mo arrived at the Liao family again an hour later. It took him some time to exchange the banknotes for silver.

"Ten thousand taels of silver, please count them."

There were several boxes placed together. Even though I had seen this before, I still gasped again when the lids were opened.

Ten thousand taels sounded light in the mouth, and when converted into silver notes they were just a few thin pieces of paper, which did not make much of a difference in his heart. But now that it was right in front of him, he realized how much ten thousand taels of silver really was. If he lived a simple life, he might not be able to spend it all in his lifetime.

"The total weight is 612 kilograms."

It was more than 600 kilograms, and he couldn't move it even with all his strength. Liao Zhi looked at the silver in front of him with complicated eyes, with guilt but more of anger.

Madam Liao asked the steward in the mansion to count the money on the spot, and then notified the people outside to collect the money. After today, the Liao family and those people will go their separate ways.

At this time, another ten people came, both men and women, saying they were from the other two branches of the Liao family. They stared at the silver. Some of them were shocked, as if they couldn't believe that Liao Zhi could really take out so much cash. Some of them glanced at Tang Mo and Xin An with dissatisfaction.

The two men exchanged glances, and Tang Mo immediately bowed to Liao Zhi, "In that case, my wife and I will not disturb you any more."

Mrs. Liao tried to persuade her to stay, but Xin An smiled and said, "I had a great chat with Sister Liao today. We couldn't finish talking. I wanted to talk for a while longer, but I'll tell her first. When Sister Xu is free, you can always make an appointment with me."

"That's fine too."

Mrs. Liao personally saw the two of them out. There was already a commotion at the door, with scolding and inquiries overlapping and it was very noisy. When they arrived at the door, Xin An refused to let Mrs. Liao see her off, and Tang Mo also asked her to stay. He put his arm around Xin An's shoulders and helped her out.

Lai Lai drove the carriage to the door outside. There were two burly guards, Deng Fang and Cao Gui, who looked tough, so no one stepped forward to get into trouble. They went down the stairs and got into the carriage directly. The carriage quickly left the alley where the Liao family was, turned into the main street, and headed towards the restaurant again.

Now that they are out, can they go back so easily?

People who can go to the Cuju field to hang out for half a day even in the scorching sun, shouldn’t they play until the evening when the weather is so nice today?

The two men entered the box and served their two masters. Later, Nanfeng Chunyang and the other two invited Deng Fang and Cao Gui to go downstairs to eat. The two men thought that they had to wait at the door until their masters finished eating before it was their turn to fill their stomachs. When they heard that they were going to eat, they just stood there without moving.

He came to say, "Our Second Young Master and Young Madam are law-abiding people. No one would come to cause trouble in broad daylight. Besides, we are in the lobby downstairs. We can just keep an eye on them while they eat."

"Let's go, this is our second young master's rule."

Deng Fang and Cao Gui were still a little self-righteous on their way to Qiushi Courtyard this morning, and felt that it was a waste of their talents to protect the Second Young Master with their skills;

They were even more unwilling to do so. After all, the other two were going to protect the prince. Everyone knew that following the prince would bring more prospects, while following the second young master would mean they would just have to eat and wait for death and take the blame when encountering troubles. It was depressing just thinking about it.

When several dishes were served on the table, some fish and some meat, which exceeded the standards of the entourage, the two frowned, "Did you order too much?"

Lailai immediately showed a look of regret, and Deng Fang subconsciously thought that he had really ordered too much, and he would have to pay for the extra money himself. When he got to the second young master, he hadn't made a penny yet and he was already sticking to him, which made him feel disappointed.

"I ordered according to the preferences of the three of us. I forgot to ask you what you wanted to eat. I'm really sorry, but it's not too late to order now. How about another chicken?"

In response to Lai Lai's words, Cao Gui asked, "Did the Second Young Master pay for all this?"

"if not?"

Lai Lai immediately introduced the rules to them, "Follow the young master out, the young master will go to the private room and we will sit in the lobby. You can eat whatever you want, as long as it's not too complicated. Of course, you can't drink alcohol."

"My lord, you may occasionally be interested in eating at a small restaurant. If you sit in the lobby, we can sit in the corner, or go to the shop next door to eat."

"The Master said that there is no reason for us to spend money if we go out with him."

He patted his purse and said, "I'm in charge of the money. Just order whatever you want to eat."

The two of them immediately showed an expression of being satisfied, and actually ordered a chicken. Lailai smiled and asked everyone to eat quickly, adding: "One more thing, you have to eat quickly. We can't wait for the young master to come out and then continue eating here. It's not appropriate."

"That's as it should be."

Both of them started eating, and thought about what the guards in the mansion said about the Second Young Master being generous and kind. They did not take it seriously at the time, but how many masters are kind?

It seems that I have really met them now, and suddenly I feel that it is not bad to follow the Second Young Master.

In the box, Tang Mo and Xin An ate for a while before slowing down their eating pace because they were hungry.

Since they were no longer hungry, they talked about the Liao family. Tang Mo moved next to Xin An and lowered his voice, "Liao Zhi was tricked. The person who tricked him must be someone from the second or third branch of the Liao family."

"This family is calculating against each other, it's really hard to guard against."

Xin An said: "I always thought I was miserable, but after going out for a while, I found that I wasn't that miserable."

"There are too many evil spirits in this capital."

There are even more people who seek fame and reputation and are not human beings.

"Go boating on the lake later?"

The topic changed so quickly that Xin An nodded with a smile, "The lakeside restaurant we ate at last time was pretty good. Let's go to the opera, then take a boat ride, and then come back after dinner."

"It's been arranged perfectly."

Both of them were in a good mood. There was nothing they could do about it; happiness needed to be compared. Even if they didn't intentionally want to compare, when they saw others looking gloomy and miserable, and then thought about themselves, they would feel that life was not so difficult.

While the two of them were having fun outside, Tang Rong in Chunhua Courtyard felt like he was holding his breath, unable to let it out or swallow it down, and felt very uncomfortable.

My father was actually drinking with Tang Mo under the moon in the garden?

Is dad still drunk?

Two people were sent to Tang Mo early this morning, which shows that they really treat Tang Mo differently.

"Didn't they say that father and Tang Mo had verbal confrontations many times and that they disliked each other?"

Qing Mo didn't know how to explain, so Aunt Cai spoke up, "After all, they are father and son, and with Madam mediating, how could they really become enemies?"

"It's a pity that the Madam passed away early, and the prince has no capable people around the Marquis."

This lady is not that lady. Tang Mo's eyes darkened slightly. "Aunt, what do you think I should do now?"

Aunt Cai was naturally devoted to him, but unfortunately she was short-sighted and could only think of asking Tang Rong to sell his looks and body. "I remember that Manager Zhang's daughter seemed to be sixteen years old."

Manager Zhang holds a very important position beside Tang Gang. If he can fully support Tang Rong, he will naturally have nothing to fear.

“This is the worst option.”

Manager Zhang loves his daughter dearly and will definitely not be willing to let her become someone else's concubine.

Moreover, Tang Rong would not easily touch the line of Manager Zhang, because it would easily backfire.

His eyes flickered slightly, it seemed that he had to find something for Tang Mo to do, so that he wouldn't have to think about competing with him all day.

Before he could even think of what to do, Aunt Cai gave him some bad news, "Today, there is an invitation in the palace. It is from the Second Prince's wife to the Second Young Master's wife."

"Invitation to the Moon Banquet?"

Tang Rong's heart tightened. In the past, Tang Mo had never had the opportunity to attend such a banquet.

Xinan......

Merchants are the best at scheming for personal gain, and it was he who made the mistake...
