Reborn and married to uncle, husband and wife teamed up to abuse scum.

The next morning, Xin An, who had packed up everything, gave Nanfeng five hundred taels of silver notes and asked her to start preparing to buy charcoal and food for the winter. Charcoal was in short supply and the price was high in winter, so she had to prepare early.

"First, you draw up a list, then go to the Wang family to see Mrs. Wang, and finally let Liu Chang be responsible for the purchase. If you don't have enough money, come back to me."

Tang Mo had almost decided to use Liu Chang, so that they would have their own people in the outer courtyard and purchasing.

After Nan Feng left, Xin An called Aunt Wang again and asked him to go find Manager Zhang, "Just tell him that we didn't buy much and it's the end of the year and we're busy, so we're bothering him with this little thing."

Aunt Wang agreed. Manager Zhang held considerable power in the mansion, and it would be a good idea not to give him such a lucrative job as purchasing. Besides, Xin An had asked her to give a gift to Manager Zhang last time, and she hadn't gone yet, so it was a good opportunity to do it together with today's matter.

After giving instructions for all the things to be done, Xin An went to Chunrong Hall, ready to pick up the old lady and go out to visit the flower and bird market to experience the bustle of the market.

An incense stick later, Manager Zhang received the gift from Aunt Wang and quickly declined it, "The Second Young Master's wife is the master of the mansion. If she needs anything, just send someone to get it. There's no need to be so polite."

Aunt Wang smiled and said, "It's not just for this matter, but also to thank Manager Zhang for taking care of me these days. My young mistress used to be in charge of business at home, so we are used to the give and take, so please don't be polite."

"Liu Chang is the son of Manager Liu. He did a good job last time helping to buy green beans. Madam Young thinks that Manager Zhang has to worry about many things in and outside the mansion, not to mention that Manager Zhang also has a lot of things to do at home. It's not good to tire you out. Let the subordinates do those insignificant things, so that you can save some time."

"It's almost the end of the year and everyone is busy. You're going to be exhausted."

Steward Zhang forced a smile, "It is a blessing for the Marquis' Mansion to have the Second Young Master's wife be so considerate to the master."

He understood that the masters of each academy all wanted to employ their own people.

Aunt Wang talked about Old Lady Zhang again. "I heard she's not very happy?"

Manager Zhang sighed and said that since the beginning of autumn, his mother had been feeling unwell every now and then, and seeing the Taifu had no effect. "Thanks to the Second Young Master's wife for sending some nourishing herbs, she is feeling better now."

"Old people have some problems."

Aunt Wang continued, "It's getting colder day by day. Winter is hard to endure. If you feel uncomfortable, you need to get treated as soon as possible. Doctor Qin is a good doctor. If Manager Zhang needs help and trusts him, just let him know. The Second Young Master's wife is generous and will definitely be willing to ask for Doctor Qin to come over."

Manager Zhang bowed and said, "Thank you very much."

"You're welcome. I'll go back first."

Manager Zhang sent Aunt Wang to the door, thinking that it was not his fault that he favored the Second Young Master. It was really because the Second Young Master's wife was too good at dealing with people. His mother would always talk about the Second Young Master's wife when she had nothing to do at home, saying that the tea she gave her was good or that the medicinal herbs she gave her were expensive. Whenever she saw him, she would always remind him to do his job well and to help the Second Young Master's wife when she needed help.

Even his mother was bribed.

On the other hand, the one from Chunhuayuan hasn’t received a single penny from her till now.

"Do you know what Tang Mo has been doing recently?"

In Chunhua Courtyard, Qing Mo stood in the shadows with his back bowed, and said, "It's just errands, practicing, attending banquets, and yes, occasionally visiting the Second Master's residence."

Tang Rong raised his eyes, "He is close to Second Uncle?"

Qing Mo felt that there was nothing to hide about this. "He comes more frequently than before. He goes two or three times a month. The last time the Second Young Master went, he brought his wife and the Second Young Master's wife with him."

"What kind of people does he meet on a daily basis?"

Qing Mo said it was still the same ones as before, "Bar Four, the Second Young Master has been less in contact with those people outside these past few months. Even the Second Young Master Yan from the Marquis Qin Mansion has a job now, so he is not often seen. Most of the time he is practicing martial arts. It is said that the Second Young Master's martial arts have improved a lot these days."

"Practice?"

Tang Rong knew about this a long time ago, but he just couldn't figure it out. When he was a kid, he was lazy all day long when he should have been practicing martial arts, but now that his bones have grown stronger, he starts to be diligent again. What's going on?

Is it possible...

Tang Rong's expression gradually became serious. "When did he start going to the martial arts gym?"

Qing Mo had no idea and only said that it was after he arrived at the Beiya Army. So Tang Rong suspected that Tang Mo wanted to follow the path of a military general. The Marquis' Mansion had accumulated experience, and if Liao Zhi promoted him, it was not impossible for Tang Mo to lead troops.

With a loud shout, those who came before my grandfather will surely support me, and then...

I'm afraid that as the crown prince, he will have to take the initiative to abdicate and let others take over.

It must be said that his self-proclaimed clever and complex ideas made him overestimate Tang Mo. He didn't realize that Tang Mo was just trying to stay healthy and didn't want to die early or embarrass himself.

"Keep staring at him."

Qing Mo bowed in response and asked, "Do we need someone to keep an eye on the Tao family?"

"The people inside passed on the news that the Tao family doesn't like the fact that the young lady lives in her parents' home. The young lady's health is not very good either. She has fainted twice."

He didn't dare to say more about whether he was really dizzy or just faking it.

Tang Rong's expression became even uglier. "Keep staring."

"Yes."

Qing Mo retreated, and just after walking a few steps, he saw Aunt Yue coming with a bowl of soup, "Brother Qing Mo, has the prince finished his work?"

How should Qing Mo respond to this?

It is said that the prince is in deep thought inside?

"Mrs. Yue, you should go and have a look yourself."

He smelled the flavor of angelica in the soup in the bowl. It was angelica stewed chicken. He thought that Aunt Yue was very good at making soup. She made different soups every day, which made his son fatter.

Tang Rong frowned when he smelled the chicken soup, "Take it away. There's no need to prepare these in the future. Just eat light food."

"The court doctor said that eating better will help the wound heal."

"Take it down."

Tang Rong cares a lot about his appearance and would never let outsiders see his greasy face. In a few days he will have to return to the Ministry of Rites and he doesn't have much time left.

Aunt Yue could only take away the chicken soup with angelica root. Tang Rong said, "Starting tomorrow, don't send any more soup or snacks. Keep the meals simple, with porridge and side dishes."

"How can the prince's body bear this?"

What else can a concubine do if she doesn't send some soup and snacks to make her existence felt?

Aunt Yue was a little flustered, "But the prince thinks that I did not do well?"

If it was usual, Tang Rong would have to say a few words of comfort, but at the moment he was in a bad mood, so he was unwilling to waste time on such trivial matters. "Go down, I want to be alone."

Aunt Yue left with tears in her eyes. As soon as she sat down in her room, Aunt Cai came over and asked, "How is it?"

Aunt Yue shook her head, "The prince was worried and didn't let me stay any longer."

Aunt Cai's face was full of impatience. She had never been able to find a chance to get the keys to those boxes. As the deadline set by Manager Zhang was getting closer, she became increasingly anxious.
