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

Aunt Cai took action, first stirring up public opinion in the mansion, and then bringing up Tao Yiran's pregnancy. Xin An did nothing other than suppressing the mouths of the servants in the mansion. If he wanted to destroy her, he had to make her crazy first.

Wang naturally also got the news, but she didn't say a word except sending someone to keep an eye on him. It was a busy year at the end of the year, and she was busy taking Xin An to the banquet.

Tang Mo's change and Xin An's generosity improved Wang's situation when she went out to attend banquets. As the saying goes, "one who receives favors will be grateful, and one who eats will be soft-hearted." After they drank the tea and ate the crabs, their relationship naturally became closer.

"I'm not afraid of you two laughing at me. It's hard to be a stepmother. I give her good things like water, and I try not to appear in front of her."

The young general of the Wu family in Beijing got married, and the house was full of guests. When Wang sat down to talk with the ladies she knew well, she also changed her usual attitude and began to complain, "I felt nervous when I heard that she felt uncomfortable in her stomach."

Wang had no particularly close wives in the capital over the years, mainly because she was too proud to talk about her own difficulties and seldom chatted about other people's affairs. People thought she was not a good person but was so arrogant, so they were not willing to interact with her and would not tell her any news.

Now that they heard her complaining, everyone became excited and found it very strange.

One lady couldn't help but ask, "These things happened one after another and there was no punishment at all?"

Tang Rong went out on business as if nothing had happened and even hosted a banquet outside. He was really shameless.

Wang smiled bitterly, "It's hard to tell right from wrong here. If we go into it, it will be embarrassing for everyone. Just curse a few times and don't do it again. Now you're pregnant, if you say something serious, you'll worry about the baby in your belly."

"You are too lenient, I think. But your identity is indeed difficult. It is different if it is not something that came out of your belly."

Wang picked up the teacup and said, "I just want to have a clear conscience and not ask for anything in return. As long as they live a good life, that's enough. This year has indeed been difficult, and I just hope that everything will be fine after the new year."

Everyone present knew the difficulties of the stepmother, and they could hear from Wang's tone that Tang Gang was partial. In short, knowing that others were not doing well, they naturally felt sympathy and liked them, and were willing to say a few good words. "Your second son is quite good. I heard that Commander Liao really appreciates him?"

"Oh, I'm thankful that kid doesn't cause me any trouble. I don't expect anything else. But I heard that your son got promoted again. How come he is so good at teaching children? You have to teach me some secrets."

The lady who was speaking smiled complacently. Her son had been promoted, so she was waiting for someone to congratulate her. Her face was full of smiles at the moment...

Wang had achieved her goal, and Xin An's progress was also very smooth. He first sat and listened to Lin Yao and others talking. They said that the streets were not peaceful as the year was coming to an end. Two young girls and several babies were lost. This kind of thing happened every year. Although it was not uncommon, they also sympathized with the families who lost their babies.

Soon, several people started talking about Tao Yiran. After Xin An laid the groundwork, he started to complain to Lin Yao and the others, "Ever since she got pregnant, I've even tied up my dog. I wish I could tie up its mouth, too, for fear that the neighbors would say something that would frighten them when they hear a dog barking."

"People in my yard can't speak too loudly."

"I had a stomachache yesterday, and the people below said that I had bumped into something, and that the yard we live in is not spacious enough and it's stuffy. Do you think I can't even keep my yard?"

Lin Yao and others expressed their sympathy for her. "One of them is a mischievous person, and the other is a hypocritical person. You two are living next door to them, so you are bound to suffer."

"I'm afraid this is just the beginning, and you don't know what's waiting for you in the future."

Xin An lamented, "Why is it so difficult for me?"

Not far away, the wife of the Duke of Xiangguo was crazily making up stories and complaining about Tao Yiran and Tang Rong. One of them harmed her son, and the other attacked her son. How could she let those two go?

"My son is just a little confused, but his mind is still clear. If that person hadn't said something in front of him, would he have thought about that girl?"

"That's just following the root. She wants to provoke any man she sees. What a shameless bitch. She thought everyone is like that shameless person, committing adultery with her in broad daylight?"

Those who relied on the Duke's Mansion for their status immediately agreed, talking excitedly. Xin An glanced at them from a distance, smiled and turned around...

After the wedding banquet, Tang Rong and Tao Yiran's reputation became even worse. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law returned home satisfied. After returning home, they were busy with the big and small matters in the house as usual, and watched coldly as Aunt Cai and Aunt Liu put on a big show.

The weather got cold quickly. My hands were already cold when I got up in the morning, and the wind was even colder.

As the weather gets colder, the herbal medicine shop's business gets better. In addition to some people who came on the opening day and became repeat customers, many merchants also regard the herbal medicine shop as their first choice for banquets. You should know that the herbal medicine shop is not only prestigious enough but also very easy to meet dignitaries. Through word of mouth, it has become a very respectable thing to host a banquet in the herbal medicine shop. Nowadays, if you want to book a private room, you need to make a reservation at least three days in advance.

"This herbal medicine shop is indeed worthy of its reputation. Thank you for your hospitality today, Lord Marquis. I'm sorry for the expense."

As the sky gradually darkened, the door of one of the private rooms in the herbal medicine shop opened, and several officials with rosy faces came out with smiles. Tang Gang walked among them and said with a smile: "It's cold in winter, and this herbal medicine will make you feel comfortable. If you like it, you can come often in the future."

"You are joking, my Lord. The medicinal food is good but it is very expensive. I cannot wait for your financial support, so how can I dare to say 'come often'?"

"Brother Wen is right. If it weren't for the Marquis's invitation, we wouldn't dare to step into the door of this herbal medicine shop."

Tang Gang was a little flattered, thinking that this herbal medicine shop really gave him face. "It's just a table of food. If you like it, please put it on my account."

Fang Da on the side almost rolled his eyes in his heart. He expected that there would be people eating for free before the shop opened. Although there seemed to be many powerful people in the capital, there were even more people who were left with empty shells after their families fell into poverty. These people wanted to show off their culture and wealth, so they would choose to eat for free by using their ancestors' reputation.

He was well prepared and had ways to deal with it, but he never expected that the first person to get a free meal would be Tang Gang.

I've brought people here to eat so many times, but I've never paid a penny.

"My Lord, are you going back?"

No matter how much he despised them in his heart, he had to put on a smile and walked forward. Tang Gang said, "I'll recognize these gentlemen. I'll entertain them well when they come next time. The expenses will be charged to this account."

Fang Da agreed with a smile, and several people flattered Tang Gang again. Tang Gang was very pleased and immediately said to Fang Da, "Reserve a private room for me, and don't arrange for anyone else in the future."

Fang Da almost couldn't hold it in, and forced a smile as he escorted the man out the door. The waiter stood at the door and bowed to see him off. He turned around and said with a bitter face, "Boss, do you want to tell the second young master's wife?"

Fangda glared at him, "Do your job, Madam Young knows what's going on."

The waiter said no more and hurried in to greet the customers. Fang Da sighed and went to the counter to put Tang Gang's bill down. Whether he could collect the money or not was one thing, but whether he could put it down or not was another.
