Zhang had endless questions to ask, and she was eager to find fault in Wang's words to prove that all stepmothers were vicious and allow Tang Rong to be more united with the Wei family.

However, although Wang did not have any great abilities, she was always considerate in saving her reputation, and Zhang did not catch any mistakes.

Zhang also asked when Tang Gang and Tang Rong would be back and whether anyone had been sent to invite them. It seemed as if Tang Gang would have to come back to see her immediately if she came to show her status.

Wang suppressed her annoyance and said, "It's busy at the end of the year, the Marquis will be back a little late. I will send someone to give him a message later. The eldest child was injured in an accident some time ago. He hasn't been on duty recently and is recovering in the mansion. You can go see him later."

Upon hearing that Tang Rong was injured, Zhang immediately began to ask why and how he got injured, and whether the mansion didn't arrange guards. She seemed to think that Wang, her stepmother, was incompetent.

Wang really wanted to scold Zhang. If it weren't for the patience she had acquired over the years, she would have slapped her in the face. She was like a chatterbox, talking nonstop as soon as she entered the room.

"You can ask the Marquis for the details later, Big Brother and Big Sister-in-law."

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that she was unhappy, so Wei Liang gave Zhang a warning glare and then remained silent until they arrived at Chunrong Hall.

The old lady didn't like the Wei family because they were too utilitarian. Tang Gang had only lost his wife two months that year, but the Wei family was so eager to marry into the Marquis's Mansion again, and they tried every means to make Tang Gang submit, without considering Tang Gang's reputation at all.

Zhang had a different attitude towards the old lady. She was all smiles and very flattering. "The old lady is still as healthy as she was three years ago. I just saw the prince's wife. She is really outstanding. I heard that she is pregnant. You are so lucky. In a few months, your great-grandson will be born. I don't know how lively your family will be."

The old lady smiled politely and courteously, her eyes just swept over one of the girls, and Zhang immediately pulled the two girls forward, "Old lady, these are my two daughters, Wei Xiang and Wei Qing. I hope you will take good care of them from now on."

"Why don't you pay your respects to the old lady?"

The two girls greeted each other. The old lady was a little confused. "I heard from you that these two girls are going to stay in the mansion from now on?"

Zhang smiled and said, "We received a letter from the prince some time ago, saying that he would take the two cousins ​​to the capital, also for the future of these two girls."

"It's rare that their cousin cares about us, so we brought these two girls here to let them have some experience."

The old lady almost couldn't hold back the smile on her face, and Wang sneered in her heart. The father and son were exactly the same, both of them had their eyes on a woman, how shameless.

The Tang family is fine, as they are close relatives so it’s understandable, but what about the Wei family?

Xin An, who had been watching the show, knew it would be like this. With all the members of the Tang family here, there was no way Tang Rong could sit still. He was planning to sell his two cousins ​​for a good price to pave the way for himself.

The Wei family, which relied on nepotism to make their fortune, was not a good family. As far as she knew, they did not treat Tang Rong's biological mother very well. She also happened to hear from Aunt Cai that when Tang Rong's mother was pregnant, the Wei family sent two girls, saying that they could keep her company and relieve her boredom. She could guess what the Wei family was up to.

This is what happened to a marquis. If Tang Gang was a prince, wouldn't all the women in the Wei family be sent to him for him to choose?

The old lady did not continue what Zhang said. She just asked them if they were tired on the way and whether Wang had prepared the courtyard for the Wei family. Wang said, "We didn't get the news earlier, so we didn't prepare anything. Fortunately, the things prepared for Ningcui Courtyard and Ningxiang Courtyard are all new and can be used as soon as we move in."

"It should be ready by now. Why don't I take my brother and sister-in-law over there and settle them down first?"

The old lady nodded, "Okay."

The old lady sighed as Wang took the group away. Xin An did not shy away from saying, "Grandmother, did my aunt mean to keep the two cousins ​​in the capital to find a marriage partner, or was it my eldest brother's idea?"

How interesting.

If it was a girl from the Wang family who was sent over, it would be understandable. After all, the mistress of the house is still my aunt, so what does the girl from the Wei family count as?

Their own aunt had passed away a long time ago. Could they still expect Tao Yiran to run errands for them?

The old lady looked at her, "What do you think?"

"Not suitable."

Xin An sat down at the side. "My eldest brother is a man and is not suitable to be a matchmaker. My eldest sister-in-law is inconvenient to go out because of her health. After all, my mother is a layer away from me. How can she arrange a marriage for the girl from the Wei family? In the end, it still depends on my grandmother."

"In my opinion, it's better not to touch it. Just marry well. If things don't go well, you can blame your grandmother. She's old enough to just relax. Why should she worry about this?"

The old lady agreed with her words. What was more important was that the Tang family had sent three girls this time. The girls of the Tang family were under the legitimate management of the Marquis' Mansion, but what about the girls of the Wei family? To be realistic, people had forgotten about them after they left, and Mrs. Wei had passed away for a long time.

Besides, the two girls of the Wei family are not without parents.

"Ganlu, send someone to tell the Marquis to come to Chunrong Hall first when he returns."

Then he looked at Xin An and said, "Will you have lunch here at grandma's place?"

"Yes, I used to come to my grandmother's house for free meals, and now I have to come here to eat charcoal."

The charcoal in the old lady's yard was rewarded by the palace. It has a faint fragrance when burning. It is good charcoal that cannot be bought outside. "If it weren't for the inappropriate rules, I would have wanted to move in with my grandmother."

The old lady was amused and asked Ganlu to prepare two more dishes that Xinan liked.

In Chunhua Courtyard, Tao Yiran endured the psychological discomfort and came to Tang Rong and told him that people from the Wei family had come. Tang Rong was not happy about it. When he asked his cousin from his uncle's family to come, he was still in the Ministry of Rites and Tao Yiran was not pregnant yet. Now that he was lying down and Tao Yiran didn't go out, what was the point of her coming?

"Prepare some hot water. I want to take a shower."

Regardless of whether it was useful or not, the most important thing right now was not to let his uncle's family know about his predicament. "Tell the people below to keep their mouths shut. Anyone who dares to talk nonsense will be sold directly."

Tao Yiran could still do this. After all, she didn't want outsiders to know that she married a man who only had one bed.

Aunt Cai was still concerned about Tang Rong's injury and did not recommend him to take a bath. Tao Yiran hoped that he would take a bath twice more. "Let the court doctor serve you. If there is anything wrong, come and treat it immediately. Being refreshed will also help the wound to heal."

"Change all the bedding and use some refreshing incense. My aunt and her family will definitely come later, so we need to be more energetic."

In short, don't embarrass yourself.

As Tao Yiran got active, the people below started to get busy, and the yard finally became a little more lively.

After settling the Wei family, Wang returned to Chunrong Hall with a rage. Xin An greeted her with a smile, "Mother, you're back just in time. Aunt Ganlu just said she's going to set up dinner."

The old lady glanced at Wang's face and said, "It's no big deal if we haven't had dinner yet. If you have anything to say, let's talk after dinner."
