At the gate of the marquis's mansion, Tang Rong's uncle Wei Liangcai and her aunt Zhang got out of the car with their son and two daughters. There were three more cars following behind them, and there were seven or eight attendants serving them. It was obvious from the look of it that they were going to live there permanently.

"The last time I came back was three years ago."

With the support of Tang Gang, Wei Liangcai was promoted to the fourth rank. He is now in Beijing to report on his work and await a new appointment from the court.

The Wei family had no place to live in the capital, and they used to live directly in the marquis's mansion, and this time was no exception.

Their son Wei Chuanzong couldn't hide the joy in his eyes, "Cousin should know we are here, right?"

Zhang was very pleased, "Your cousin is in the Ministry of Rites, so he must have gotten the news. Besides, he wrote to invite us, so he must know what's going on."

The whole family entered the house in great joy. Wang smiled and greeted Tao Yiran, "Brother and sister-in-law are here. They are really rare guests."

Zhang didn't like Wang. You should know that Tang Rong's biological mother had only been gone for two months when the Wei family wanted to send another girl from the Wei family to be Tang Rong's stepmother, on the grounds that Tang Rong was still young and needed care. The old marquis was still alive at that time and did not agree, and let the old lady make the decision and choose Wang.

What was taken into consideration was that Wang had a reputation for being virtuous, and the Wang family was not of high status, so they would be able to treat Tang Rong well.

This incident made the Wei family bear a grudge for a long time, and they were naturally dissatisfied with Wang, who was taking advantage of the situation. However, when Wang came into the family, she really felt sorry for Tang Rong and did not let the Wei family find fault with her.

"My master has come to Beijing to report on his work. He wants to stay in the Marquis' Mansion for a few days. Is that okay?"

Wang wanted to say no. He didn't even give any news before coming. What kind of place is a marquis's mansion? He just came without saying anything. And he thought the mistress of the mansion was surnamed Wei?

"If Big Brother and Big Sister-in-law are willing to stay for a few days, we welcome them. Please come in."

Zhang was slightly satisfied, "Are the Marquis and my nephew in the mansion?"

"I don't have a day off today, I..."

Before Wang could finish her words, Zhang interrupted her and said, "In that case, let's wash up first. It's not good to go see the old lady like this."

"Oh, that's unfortunate."

Wang said, "I'm sorry to bother you, brother and sister-in-law, because I didn't receive any news earlier and didn't prepare in advance. Look, we haven't even arranged for anyone to clean the place yet.

Wang didn't want to give the Wei family much face in the first place, and she felt even more annoyed when she saw that Zhang was still as annoying as ever. However, she still smiled and asked them to pay their respects to the old lady first.

Zhang thought that her family was invited by her nephew, so how could they not arrange accommodation in advance? It must be that Wang was a bad person who was obstructing them and didn't like the Wei family.

Thinking of this, she acted like the aunt of the prince of the Marquisate, "Of course we should go see the old lady first. We are not picky about where to stay. We can go to Ningcui Courtyard or Ningxiang Courtyard where we lived before."

Wang was very sorry, "Sister-in-law, you don't know. The old lady invited people from the Tang family to celebrate the New Year. They are supposed to arrive in a few days. The boys and girls from the family want to stay here permanently, so the old lady decided to give Ningcuiyuan and Ningxiangyuan to them."

As relatives, can the Wei family be more noble than the Tang family?

"Is there still this?"

Zhang was getting more and more unhappy. "Doesn't the mansion have little contact with the Tang family?"

"Sister-in-law, you are joking. We are all family, so how can we not keep in touch? In the past, all the sons of the family had to study and had no free time. Now that it is a critical time, we naturally have to come to the capital."

Wei Liangcai felt that there was no need to worry about where to live. As long as they could live in the Marquis' Mansion and let outsiders know their relationship with the Mansion, it didn't matter where they lived. If they had to ask for a place, they would be blocked by someone saying, "It's already a nuisance to live in the Marquis' Mansion. You can live anywhere."

Although Zhang was dissatisfied, she did not dare to refute him. She just said, "I remember there is a yard in the mansion where orchids are grown?"

Wang rolled her eyes in her heart. He came without saying hello. It was good enough that he could find a place to stay, and he even picked one.

"It's really unfortunate. The old lady's nephew will come to pay New Year's greetings at the end of the year and is already on his way, so Qinlan Garden will have a guest."

"Don't worry, sister-in-law. There is a yard in the northeast corner of the mansion. Although it is a bit far from the main courtyard and the old lady's Chunrong Hall, it is spacious. It was renovated two years ago. It will definitely not be unfair to my brother and his family."

Wei Liangcai nodded, "In that case, I'll trouble you to take care of it, Madam."

Zhang didn't care about all this. She was a glorious lady when she took office outside. Which lady didn't flatter her when she was in office? She was used to having the best of everything, not to mention that she was facing Wang, the second wife.

"I thought the Marquis's Mansion was quite large, but now it's not that spacious. If the new bride's family comes over, won't there be room for them?"

Wang smiled and said, "The eldest daughter-in-law's family is in the capital, and the second daughter-in-law's family also has a house in the capital. They won't all live in the Marquis' Mansion."

At this point, Wang looked as if she had forgotten something important. "Seeing that my eldest brother and his wife were so happy, I'll introduce them to them."

"This is the eldest brother's wife. Her maiden name is Tao. Her father was originally a prefect of the fourth rank. He is also waiting for an appointment from the court. Come and meet your uncle and aunt."

Tao Yiran, who had been silent the whole time, wanted to turn around and leave. At this moment, she had no good feelings towards the Wei family, especially Zhang, who looked difficult to get along with.

He came to ask for money and even wanted to pick on her. She, who prided herself on being noble, simply looked down on such behavior.

Especially since Zhang is short, ugly and mean, it's embarrassing to bring such a relative out.

"Uncle, aunt."

Even though she had called someone, Zhang looked at her as if she were a commodity, which made Tao Yiran even more unhappy. Even Wang, the serious mother-in-law, didn't look at her so critically, so what right did this person who came to ask for money have?

Zhang didn't like Tao Yiran at first sight, thinking she was enchanting and alluring. But the moment her son Wei Chuanzong saw Tao Yiran, his eyes lit up and he thought she was as beautiful as a fairy.

Wei Liangcai felt very embarrassed and forced a smile, "Let's go pay our respects to the old lady first. Please lead the way, madam."

After walking a few steps, Tao Yiran covered her stomach and groaned. Wang stopped and asked, "What's wrong? Is your stomach uncomfortable?"

Tao Yiran looked apologetic and said, "It just hurt a little, it's nothing serious."

Wang saw through her trick and said, "If you feel uncomfortable, go back and rest immediately. Ask the court doctor to check you out. Don't be careless."

As soon as Wang said this, Tao Yiran obediently said goodbye and went back with the help of the maid.

Wang said to Zhang: "Don't mind it, sister-in-law. She is pregnant with our marquis's grandson, so she must be raised with great care."

"Yes?"

There are so many winter clothes that I don’t notice it.

"Yes, almost three months."

Wang smiled and said, "Brother and sister-in-law came at the right time. Not only is the eldest brother's wife pregnant, but his two concubines are also pregnant. One of them is about to give birth. You can also meet your nephew and grandson."

"Why, a concubine has to be born before the wife of the principal wife?"

Zhang thought this was wrong, but Wang smiled and said, "All matters concerning offspring are God's will."
