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

For Tang Mo, Tang Rong's illness came at a very good time. If he handled it himself, he would definitely clear himself of all blame and push all the faults onto the Tao family. He might even gain sympathy from some people by playing the victim.

He is a person who is used to seeking benefits for himself.

"Father, I think it's inappropriate to break off relations with the Tao family. Uncle Tao is a fourth-rank official with a good political reputation. He hasn't done anything wrong, and the court won't touch him."

"Besides, he has been immersed in the officialdom for many years, so he always has a few close friends with vested interests. Now he is trapped in the capital because he has been exiled for many years and has no chance to cultivate his connections in the capital. As for his teachers and classmates, as long as he is given some time, he may be able to pick up these relationships."

"It's not that I want to destroy my father's prestige, but in terms of official strength, the Marquis's Mansion is no stronger than the Tao Family."

"If the Tao family fights hard, both sides will suffer in the end."

It is too wishful to think of abandoning the Tao family and finding a capable in-law family for Tang Rong.

Tang Gang naturally wanted to abandon the Tao family, and believed that with Tang Rong's outstanding Marquisate, it would not be difficult to find another powerful in-law. But what Tang Mo said made sense. If the Tao family fought back hard, what chances would the Marquisate have of winning?

Thinking of this, he was even more dissatisfied with Tang Rong's original marriage exchange. If he hadn't done so, Tao Yiran would have married Tang Mo, and even if something happened, the Marquis' Mansion would not have been so passive.

"I need to think about this matter first, so you go back to work first."

Tang Mo cupped his hands, "Yes."

His attitude had been made clear, and he had said everything that needed to be said. Naturally, there was no need to stay. As soon as he walked out of the courtyard, he met Wang. It should be said that Wang was waiting for him here on purpose. "Come back early in the afternoon. Mother has something to tell you."

Tang Mo stepped forward, "Mother, just tell me what you want to say. I already asked for leave before I came back."

Wang led him out of Chunrong Hall and waited until they reached the side hall where she was managing the affairs of the family before she spoke, "Mother wants to say that you are already a married man, so you need to think things through and stop dwelling on things that you have already obtained. Do you understand?"

"Mother, are you trying to tell me about my father and grandmother's attitude towards me?"

Tang Mo chuckled, "My son has let it go."

"My father is on guard against me. No matter how hard I try, his attitude towards me is always hot and cold. To put it bluntly, it all depends on his mood. As a son, you know that I can never compare to Tang Rong."

"As for grandma, I also understand. No matter what Tang Rong is like inside, he is not as good as the outstanding son he creates on the surface. He is also the eldest grandson in the family. It is normal for grandma to love him. I have nothing to complain about."

The more she spoke, the more upset Wang felt. "I can only blame my mother for being useless."

"Don't say that, mother."

Tang Mo helped her sit down, "It's not easy for mother to gain a foothold in the Marquis' Mansion. I understand. We mother and son should not say those polite words."

Wang was extremely frustrated about what happened today. "Tang Rong did such a ridiculous thing. Even though your father and grandmother fainted from anger, they still feel the most pain for him. Now that he is sick, your father will definitely not pursue him anymore, and your grandmother will only feel sorry for him for meeting the wrong person."

"I originally thought that your father and grandmother would be disappointed and severely punished for what he did."

Who would have thought that just because he was sick, the whole matter was pushed onto the Tao family, as if Tang Rong had done nothing wrong. They made up stories about him being kind and unaware of evil, and the biased mother and son chose to turn a blind eye.

She even suspected that Tang Rong was using a self-torture tactic, and it was extremely successful.

Tang Mo didn't have many regrets, but mainly didn't have many expectations. "No matter what the attitude of my father and grandmother is, it is a fact that his reputation outside is ruined. No matter how he explains or denies it afterwards, he can't be clean."

"What is the Ministry of Rites? What kind of people are those censors? My son thinks he will never be able to return to the Ministry of Rites."

Wang sighed, "If there is no Ministry of Rites, there are other places. Your father is most willing to spend money on him."

Tang Mo lowered his voice and formally told his mother what he was thinking, "Mother, I want the title of Marquis. I want to get this title."

He didn't give a reason, just said he wanted to. Wang was stunned for a moment, then she forced a smile, "My son has such ambition, mother should do her best to help him."

Although Tang Rong inherited the title she was still the old lady of the Marquis's Mansion, but how could she be as happy as having her own son inherit the title?

There was nothing much to discuss about this matter. The mother and son exchanged a few words and Wang changed the subject. "Mother came to you not only to comfort you, but also to ask you to find a chance to comfort your wife."

"What happened to Xin An?"

Tang Mo may not have realized it himself, but he now cares a lot about Xin An's affairs, no matter how big or small.

Wang sighed, "Tao Yiran is useless, so your grandmother has focused all her attention on Xin An. This is a good thing for her, but she heard everything your father and the old lady said today, and mother is worried that she will think too much."

In Wang's eyes, no matter how smart Xin An was, she was still a girl from a merchant family. She might have never experienced the ruthlessness in a large mansion and think that the people in the mansion were too cold and indifferent.

Tang Mo was relieved after hearing this. "Mother, don't worry. She has been doing business with her father-in-law since she was a child. She doesn't know everything. Father and grandmother only put the interests of the Marquisate first. She won't think too much about it."

"Son, just find another opportunity to talk to her."

Wang also thought of what Xin An had said to her at Nandu Temple, "Mother has forgotten it, that's good."

"Mothers are confused because they care too much."

Wang's expression relaxed a little, and she glanced at the sky outside. "With the situation in the mansion like this, you should go back to work."

If he stayed in the mansion, he might even upset Tang Gang.

Tang Mo smiled and said that since he had some free time, he would go to his uncle's house and his second uncle's house. "Xin An has opened a herbal medicine restaurant, and it's about to open. I'd like to invite my uncle and second uncle to come and show their support."

"By the way, please invite Brother Shimao and the others."

Wang only knew that Xin An wanted to open a grocery store, and she didn't ask anything else. "It went smoothly. I didn't ask her about it, so I didn't know about it."

"go well."

Tang Mo smiled and said, "The steward sent by my father-in-law is very capable, so she doesn't need to worry too much. You know her personality, she is not someone who likes to show off."

"It's a good thing that you have a steady temperament. You go and make the arrangements. The opening day should be lively and exciting. If you need any help from your mother, just ask."

Tang Mo nodded, and walked briskly back to Qiushi Courtyard, discussing the dinner with Xin An. Xin An counted on his fingers, "We need to keep one room for our family, one for Uncle Fang Da, and we can discuss the rest."

Tang Mo took out a pen and wrote down the names one by one. After counting all the people who could be invited, he found that only six or seven tables were used, and the restaurant had fifteen private rooms.

Xin An thought about it for a while and came up with an idea. "Leave two tables for my second uncle, one for him to entertain his friends, and one for Tang Yaoming to entertain his classmates. Similarly, leave two tables for my uncle, one for him and one for Wang Shi. In this way, we will have invited scholars."

"Mother, please sit with Second Aunt and Auntie. It will be more convenient."

Tang Mo smiled happily, thinking that Xin An opened a restaurant and his relatives took advantage of it. Xin An smiled and said, "Why don't you say that I rely on your relatives to do business?"

"No matter what others say, my restaurant will be the first choice for my second uncle and uncle to host banquets in the future."
