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

After coming out of Xu's house and seeing that it was not too late, Xin An asked the driver to go to Wang's house. Mrs. Wang had specially sent someone to invite her, so she had to go out and take a look. As a result, by the time she returned to the Marquis' Mansion, it was already dark.

It always gets dark early in winter. Lanterns at the doors of shops have been lit up early. I don't know when more people appeared on the street. Xin An opened the curtain and asked, "Is there a night market tonight?"

Cao Gui, her bodyguard and coachman, said, "The court has stipulated that the curfew from yesterday to the end of the Lantern Festival will be postponed by one hour. It's not busy now. It will be busy after the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month. By then, the streets will be full of people. I heard that the court bought a lot of lanterns this year. When the time comes, several streets will be lit up one after another. That will be beautiful."

Xin An then remembered that the court was like this every year. In the past, she had heard about the hustle and bustle outside and wanted to go there, but Tang Rong said that there were only peddlers selling worthless trinkets, many kidnappers and thieves, and it was not safe, so she gave up the idea of ​​going out for a stroll. As a result, he later took Tao Yiran with him and bought her a lantern.

She had made a scene before, what did Tang Rong say?

Life is hard for my sister-in-law as a widow, so it's good to take her out to relax. She's not as busy as you are every day, and there's nothing for her to be sad about. As her eldest brother, I should take care of her more.

Now that I think about this, I want to go back and strangle Tang Rong to death.

A ring attracted her attention. Wanting to watch the fun, she asked Cao Gui to find a place to park. How could Cao Gui disobey the Goddess of Wealth? Not only did he park the car, he also personally escorted Xin An to watch the fun.

As they approached, they saw the fighting arena. On it were the words "Jingyong Martial Arts School" in black letters on a red background. Chunyang asked, "Is this the martial arts school that the Second Young Master often goes to?"

"Ershan, Ershan is on the ring."

Xin An stretched his neck to look, and indeed saw Ershan. He was wearing only a single layer of clothing in such a cold day. He seemed to have grown taller, and his eyes were fierce.

While Cao Gui was guarding against someone bumping into Xin An, he explained to Xin An, "Setting up a ring is a common way for martial arts schools to recruit disciples. Nowadays, each martial arts school still finds a place to set up a ring to show off their skills. Later, there will be more martial arts schools fighting each other, all wanting to be the top martial arts school in the capital. At that time, it was all about hard skills, and it was common for people to be injured or disabled."

"If you are outstanding, you might even be noticed by a wealthy family or the imperial court, and you will have a bright future."

Chunyang said that it was not worth risking one's life for an uncertain opportunity. Xin An said, "If you can get a future by showing your skills on stage, even if you get hurt, it's still a gain."

“You know, opportunities are hard to come by.”

For ordinary people, the least valuable thing is themselves. Many opportunities require risking their lives. As long as they can get the opportunity, what does getting injured and bleeding matter?

Cao Gui looked at Chunyang curiously, thinking that a maid was actually more naive than her master. Then he looked at what Chunyang was wearing, the outermost piece was brocade, which showed that if the master was rich, the maid would also benefit from it, and one had to follow the right master.

Xin An saw Er Shan fighting with someone. Although he couldn't tell what happened, he could see how fierce he was. He turned his head and asked Cao Gui, "What do you think of the shorter guy?"

Cao Gui looked at a few and came to a conclusion, "It can be seen that he has not been practicing for long, and it is not a virgin martial arts. His skills are also average, but he has a kind of ruthlessness that does not care about his life, which is rare."

"The guy who was fighting him was better at martial arts than him and paid much attention to his moves. If he had just let go and attacked the short guy, he would have lost within ten moves. But he was frightened by the guy's strength. The most important thing in a fight between the two sides is momentum. Maybe the short guy can win in the end."

Xin An smiled and waited until Ershan defeated the man before nodding with satisfaction. Chunyang and Chunlu were very surprised. One admired Cao Gui's accurate judgment, and the other was impressed by Ershan's strength.

"Let's go back."

Xin An turned around, thinking that Tang Mo's money was not wasted, and Ershan was still worth cultivating.

It was already late when they returned home. Tang Gang, who had returned earlier, was talking to the Wei family. Seeing Xin An coming back at this time, he didn't say anything. But Zhang spoke up, "Second daughter-in-law, are you just coming back after going out?"

"Yes."

The Wei family was a guest, so they had to be entertained. Wang arranged a dinner for the whole family to attend. Wang smiled and said that the meal was ready, and told her not to go back to Qiushi Courtyard, "It's a good time for the family to chat."

Xin An sat down. Zhang asked her what she had been doing outside. Wang was very dissatisfied. She had never asked about her daughter-in-law's activities outside, but this visitor asked about it, and she did not recognize her identity.

"Nothing much, I just made an appointment for tea."

"I saw you took some boxes with you."

Zhang wanted to get to the bottom of it. She already knew about the marriage exchange. She thought it was a good idea to exchange Xin An for Tao Yiran, but she couldn't exchange Xin An's dowry. She had seen the wealth of the salt merchants, and she knew without thinking that the Xin family must have a huge amount of property as a dowry, and part of that property must have been given to the Marquis' Mansion in the name of dowry. Even if the marriage was exchanged, the dowry should have been kept.

"My aunt only saw half of it. I was the one who brought those boxes to my mother."

Wang supported her daughter-in-law and said that was the case. Zhang smiled but didn't smile and ridiculed Wang, "I heard that the Xin family is rich, so I guess the dowry is quite a lot. You are so lucky, sister."

"What do you mean, sister-in-law?"

Wang looked at Xin An lovingly, then smiled at Zhang, "A woman's dowry belongs to her. This is clearly stated in the court law. The Marquis's Mansion has accumulated a small fortune over the years, and the Marquis trusts me. I can use whatever I want in the storehouse. There is really no need for me to stare at my daughter-in-law's dowry like those short-sighted people."

As he spoke, he looked at Tang Gang and said, "Don't you think so, Lord Marquis?"

Tang Gang was extremely disgusted with Zhang. She was ugly, short and fat, and her yellow teeth when she smiled were disgusting. But she had no awareness of her ugliness at all. She kept talking, and her voice sounded like a pig being slaughtered, extremely ugly.

Wang sat next to her, and she looked like a fairy against the background.

"Madam is right. Since you are the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion, you can use everything in the mansion as you like."

He still knows who to help at this time.

Zhang almost bit her yellow teeth to pieces, thinking back to when the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion was still a girl from their Wei family, she had encountered all kinds of inconveniences in getting whatever she wanted. She didn't even have the key to the Marquis' Mansion's storeroom. Everything she did had to depend on the old woman's mood. But now, as a concubine, she was enjoying a great blessing.

Tang Rong, who was forcing himself to come and chat, had a faint smile on his face. In his heart, he didn't like Zhang. She came from such a long distance to the Marquis' Mansion and only brought a few inexpensive gifts. That was fine, but she also spoke in such a disrespectful way, which was really embarrassing for him.

In his heart, he couldn't help but compare the Wei family with the Wang family. The Wang family didn't come very often, but every time they came, they brought enough gifts and spoke politely and nicely. When he thought that they lost to Tang Mo in this regard, he disliked the Wei family even more.

But thinking that he was still useful to the Wei family, he didn't say much and pretended to be deaf and dumb.
