At the same time, the counselors in the Second Prince's Mansion were very excited and sat together to discuss countermeasures. It was really cause for celebration that the Crown Prince, who had always been cautious, actually revealed a flaw.

The counselor could hardly hide his excitement and said that if the young lady of the Marquis's Mansion had returned home directly last night, this matter would not have caused any waves, after all, she did not really go to play the piano. But she went back, and she went back to her parents' home. How great an injustice had she suffered?

A gleam of light flashed in the eyes of the second counselor, and he pretended to lament, saying that Lord Tao and his wife had arrived at the Marquis's Mansion early this morning. On one hand, a married girl was wronged, and on the other hand, the reputation of the Marquis's Mansion was about to be lost. It was really sad.

The third counselor said that the Crown Princess verbally threatened the Young Lady of Weiyuan Marquis's Mansion to play the piano for everyone's entertainment, which was a great humiliation to the Marquis's Mansion. The Young Lady resolutely left the table, which was to maintain the reputation of the Marquis's Mansion and also a silent resistance to the Crown Princess.

The several people tacitly agreed to start with the Crown Princess, impeaching her for abusing her power and despising meritorious officials, and then impeaching the Crown Prince for not managing his household properly.

The eyes of the Second Prince's advisers were shining, and they were getting more and more excited as they talked. They even talked about using the rumors to force Tang Gang to come forward. If Tang Gang dared to back down, they would use the old marquis's heroic performance in the past to mock his incompetence. How could he hold a seat in the court when he didn't even dare to protect the honor of his father?

It was expected that Tang Gang would definitely step forward with his neck stiff.

Although they cannot use such a small matter to bring down the prince, they can destroy his reputation. Moreover, it does not matter if the matter is small, they can let it spread, add fuel to the fire, and give the prince a reputation of being morally corrupt.

Let the veteran generals in the court see what their future emperor will look like.

"The core purpose is that the task of supervising the Ministry of Revenue must fall on the Second Prince!"

The Second Prince's wife soon learned of the counselor's plan and chuckled, "One is self-righteous, and the other is stupid and ignorant. If it weren't for Xin An's quick eyes and hands, the effect would be more than this."

The second prince laughed and said, "Not really. If she is really allowed to play the zither, it would be a case of both sides willing to fight and suffer. At most, the girl from the Tao family is crazy about showing off, which will make her already bad reputation even worse. It has nothing to do with the crown prince."

"If she fails to play, we can say that she left the table out of shame and anger, and it can also help her gain a good reputation. Speaking of which, the old Marquis Tang really has a keen eye and arranged for Tang Rong to marry the girl from the Xing family so early on. What a pity."

The Second Prince's wife nodded in agreement, "I don't know how capable he is yet, but he is definitely better than Tao Yiran."

"My husband is very concerned about Tao Yiran's reputation."

The second prince was embarrassed for a moment, and said helplessly, "It's all in the past, why bring it up? I've said it many times, I don't like women who don't love themselves. This prince will like anyone, cat or dog."

"We're childhood sweethearts, but you still don't trust me?"

The Second Prince's wife glanced at him and sighed, "Who made me, a shrew, treat you badly?"

"You feel so wronged that you can't be a soft and fragrant flower that can talk to you."

That tone, that expression, the second prince spread his hands and said, "That woman just farted, why do you still remember it? How can she compare with you?

Er stood up and helped the man sit down. "What does she, an outsider, know about the relationship between us? I am willing to be scolded and beaten by you. What does she care?"

"Who made me get used to being beaten by you since I was a child?"

"During the years when you were not in the capital, no one beat me up. I felt so miserable. You beat me up in my dreams."

That shameless look successfully amused the Second Prince's wife, and the corners of her lips rose, "Break the habit, and I'll have everyone in the palace line up to beat you up later."

"They dare!"

The second prince stepped forward and said, "Only you can beat me. Anyone else who dares to think so is guilty."

The Second Prince's wife laughed, and the Second Prince laughed too. It was obvious that the couple had a very good relationship.

At this time, the counselors in the Prince's Mansion had heard the news and were actively discussing how to respond. The Prince was even more furious with the Crown Princess, scolding her for being more of a hindrance than a help.

The Crown Princess was unwilling to be scolded and said that the Crown Prince had not objected to her bringing Tao Yiran to attend the Yueyue Banquet yesterday, so now that something went wrong he was blaming her?

The couple had a quarrel and parted on bad terms.

The wind today was stronger than usual, but it did not blow away the dark clouds overhead.

The storm was about to come. Xin An in Qiushi Courtyard was busy selecting fabrics to make new clothes. Tang Rong in Chunhua Courtyard lost his composure and smashed a whole set of tea cups. He hated himself for being too hasty and believing Tao Yiran's lies, which caused such a big mess.

He didn't care about his injuries at this moment. After sitting in the study for half an hour, he packed up and went to find Tang Gang. The father and son went into the study together.

After all, it was Tang Gang who had spent a lot of effort to cultivate him. If you calm down and think about it carefully, you can guess the general situation.

"The Second Prince will definitely make a big fuss about this matter. It is very likely that he will involve father and force father to point his gun at the Crown Prince."

"The Crown Prince has many spies and will definitely be on guard. I'm afraid that we should ask Father to make this matter a minor one first. If Father follows the Crown Prince's wishes, the Second Prince's people will use the reputation of the Marquisate to force Father."

"If we obey the Crown Prince, the reputation of the Marquisate will plummet; if we obey the Second Prince, we will definitely offend the Crown Prince. It is still unclear who will win or lose in this game of two. Either way, it will be disadvantageous to us."

"It seems that what my father-in-law said earlier was a bit exaggerated."

"There's no need for us to rush."

Lord Tao kept persuading people of the benefits of following the prince, saying that although the Marquis' Mansion did not seem to have much power, the old Marquis's influence was still there, and if they raised their arms and called out, someone would respond. With a little effort, Tang Rong would be able to stand out in front of the prince, which would be of great benefit to his official career and would bring decades of prosperity and wealth to the Marquis' Mansion.

The father and son were bewitched by his few words, and Tang Gang even almost sent a message to Xin Kuan, asking him to pay money to help the prince succeed.

Thinking about it now, it was really hasty. Even if the Marquis' Mansion had not had the merit of following the dragon, it could still have prospered for decades just based on the old man's achievements. Moreover, the emperor is in good health and looks like he will live a long life.

But nothing we say now will help. We can only think of ways to calm the matter down as quickly as possible, and it would be best not to cause any more trouble.

Tang Gang said: "Your grandmother is angry. The old lady is usually cheerful and doesn't want to care about anything, but in her heart, your grandfather's glory is above everything else. She will not allow us to retreat."

"I have already sent a letter to the tribe. Within three months, those outstanding men in the tribe will be here."

"For this purpose, I also wrote back and asked the tribe to send a few girls of the right age."

The old lady was getting angry and Tang Gang had no choice but to give in. However, he considered that once the clan members came, he would definitely spend money and effort to plan for their future, so he had to put in a lot of thought.

The official career is difficult, and even a marquis like him is walking on thin ice. If he wants to rely on his sons to become successful and protect his family, he will have to wait for many years.

The gap between what was put in and what was gained was too huge, so the only thing they could do was to start with the women in the tribe and send them to marry, which could be considered as making up for it.
