"Father, mother."

Xin An stepped forward and saluted, "I heard that grandma is ill, is it serious?"

Wang said, "Your grandmother is still asleep. The court doctor treated her promptly and she is fine. She just needs to rest more in the future."

Xin An nodded, glanced at Ganlu, and said, "Aunt Ganlu is also worried and confused. I'm afraid she feels very regretful. Father and mother should not blame her. If grandmother wakes up and knows about this, she will be sad again."

Wang didn't want to do anything to Gan Lu. After all, she was someone close to the old lady, so she had to be polite to her in the past. Today, the old lady was in a critical condition, so she scolded her. When Xin An mentioned it, she was relieved, "Get up, clean up in the afternoon, you will have to serve the old lady when she wakes up."

Xin An helped her up and said, "Aunt, go wash your face and tidy up, otherwise grandma will be worried when she wakes up."

"Thank you, Madam Second Young Master."

Ganlu stepped back, and at this moment he seemed to have aged several years in an instant.

Wang said to Tang Gang, "I will stay here, and you should go to Chunhua Courtyard to take a look."

There was a night of violent storms and Tang Rong fell ill as he wished. When Qing Mo went to deliver water this morning, his lips were burned purple, which shows that he is also a ruthless person.

Tang Gang took a deep breath. He was really overwhelmed now. The rumors outside had not been dealt with yet, and the situation in the mansion was like this. With internal and external troubles, even breathing was difficult for him.

Xin An looked at his leaving back and quickly adjusted her plan in her mind. It would be impossible to go out on the day off. It would be better to set the opening date of the herbal medicine restaurant on that day. Now that Tang Rong is ill and Tang Gang cannot take care of both internal and external affairs, this is a chance for her and Tang Mo.

After doing so many things behind the scenes, it's time to show some good performance in public.

"Mother, everyone in the mansion should be punished again. Although my eldest brother was the one who indulged himself in this matter, if it weren't for the Tao family's servants' loose mouths, it wouldn't have been leaked."

"It's better not to let outsiders know that my father and grandmother fainted one after another."

Wang nodded, "You are right. Although the Marquis's Mansion is fine, we cannot neglect it."

Xin An added: "Things in the mansion are easy to handle, but we still need to find a way to quell the rumors outside. My eldest brother and grandmother are both ill, and I see that my father doesn't look very well either. I don't think I can take care of both. I'm afraid my husband will have to worry more."

"This matter should not be delayed any further. I will immediately send someone to the Beiya Army to ask my husband to come back."

Wang immediately understood her thoughts and nodded after a little thought.

Before Tang Mo returned home, the old lady woke up and stared at the mosquito net above her head with her eyes open. Gan Lu brought her some water and tried to persuade her to use some, but she remained unmoved.

Wang stepped forward, but stopped while Ganlu retreated to the side. Wang slowly sat on the edge of the bed and tried to persuade the old lady gently, but the old lady remained unmoved. Wang sighed in her heart. She knew Tang Gang and the old lady very well. She could not accept that Tang Rong was like this and would definitely push the blame on Tao Yiran.

Tang Gang walked in. Wang stood up and made way for him. Tang Gang sat down. "Don't worry, mother. You know the eldest brother's character and manners. This must be a trap set by the Tao family. He also said that he felt a little groggy when he entered the house. After all, he is still young and has not experienced anything."

As expected, the old lady reacted as soon as these words came out, and she tightly grasped Tang Gang's hand, "The daughter of the Tao family can't stay any longer. She was so shameless in her mother's home that she dragged the eldest child to do stupid things. If she comes back, will there be any good?"

"What a good child the eldest is. Everyone in the capital says that the prince of our mansion is outstanding. How many families envy him..."

The old lady talked about Tang Rong's former brilliance, the glory of the Marquis' Mansion at that time, and how hateful Tao Yiran was. Tang Gang agreed with all of them. You know, during the years when Tang Rong was outstanding, he felt proud every time he went out, but in recent months...

"The eldest brother is kindhearted. I asked him to deal with the girl from the Tao family a long time ago, but he couldn't bear it. Now that such a scandal has happened again, I was just angry and punished him."

When he thought of Tang Rong lying unconscious on the bed, he felt guilty and regretful, and he hated the servants in Chunhuayuan for not serving their master wholeheartedly.

"How's the boss?"

Tang Gang didn't dare to hide it, but he didn't dare to say that he had a high fever. He just said that he caught a cold. The old lady blamed Tang Gang with tears, "The child still has injuries on his body, why are you punishing him?"

"Hasn't he suffered enough these days?"

"People outside are plotting against him, and you, as his father, treat him like this. How upset must he be?"

As she was about to get up to see Tang Rong, Tang Gang persuaded her to lie down again. The old lady really felt sorry for Tang Rong, "You can't keep the girl of the Tao family. You have to find a way to deal with this matter as soon as possible."

Tang Gang nodded. Seeing that the mother and son were about to discuss the next steps, Wang turned her head to look at Xin An and winked at her. Xin An nodded slightly and retreated quietly. She stood in front of the chrysanthemums with a heavy heart.

"What's the matter? Why are you calling me back so anxiously?"

Tang Mo strode in, and only after asking did he see Xin An's expression clearly. He leaned forward and lowered his voice, "Have you been wronged?"

"No."

Xin An took a deep breath and told Tang Mo the general situation, "Go in and take a look."

Tang Mo went straight to the old lady's room, "Grandma is feeling better now."

"The grandson was terrified to learn that his grandmother had fainted."

He knelt in front of the bed and grabbed the old lady's hand. "The doctor said you feel uncomfortable somewhere. Can you take medicine?"

The old lady forced a smile and said, "It's not a big deal, why did you come back and delay your work?"

"Grandma is much more important than my job. If I don't come back to see how she is doing, I will miss her even if I am on duty."

The old lady was relieved, "Grandma is fine."

At this time, the medicine was boiled and sent over. Tang Mo took it and fed it to the old lady carefully. After the old lady fell asleep again, he got up and said to Tang Gang: "Father's body is not very good to begin with. He should not work too hard. I heard that my eldest brother is also sick. Maybe he won't get better in a few days. It's not a good idea to ignore the rumors outside."

"Although I have some resentment towards my eldest brother, it is related to the reputation of the Marquisate anyway. If father trusts me, I will find a way to quell the rumors outside as soon as possible."

Tang Gang raised his eyes and motioned for Tang Mo to talk outside the house.

"what do you think?"

"deny."

Tang Mo meant that the rumors outside were nothing but groundless, and no one had seen it with their own eyes. "Even if they saw it, as long as Big Brother and Sister-in-law don't admit it, there is a reason to say it. With Big Brother's reputation outside, it is very likely that those people outside believe that he was spread rumors by someone with ulterior motives."

"As long as father spreads the word that he will get to the bottom of this, those gossipers will surely stop talking. Then he can invite a few people to the teahouse and sit down with them. If he hears someone talking about this, he will refute it vigorously. I believe it won't be difficult to refute it successfully."

"It's impossible to make everyone believe this, but we should do our best to salvage what we can."

Tang Gang thought he had a way to completely calm the matter down, which made him a little disappointed. He also thought that it was impossible for Tang Rong to completely clear himself of the matter, so he had to minimize the losses. "We must find out who spread the rumors and punish them severely."

Tang Mo sneered in his heart, "If Big Brother didn't do it, of course we have to investigate."

"Father, we only need to stop the rumors outside and let people outside know the attitude of the Marquis' Mansion. It is not advisable to investigate further."

"If we investigate too deeply, it will only make the matter worse and the result will be counterproductive."
