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

In the palace, after coming out of the Queen Mother's Palace, Wang led Xin An to pay respects to the Queen. Concubine Jin also came out with them. When they reached the fork in the road, Concubine Jin stopped and said to Xin An, "I really like the Huaijiang Silver Flower Tea you gave me. If you have free time, you might as well visit the Second Prince's Mansion often."

Xin An, who had never sent her tea before, was as clear as a mirror. She smiled and said, "Because the Second Prince's Concubine is pregnant, I don't want to disturb her rashly. I went to the Xu family to visit Aunt Xu yesterday. Aunt Xu said that the Second Prince's Concubine's pregnancy is stable, and asked me to go and talk when I have time. I was thinking of sending someone to deliver the visiting card early tomorrow morning."

Concubine Jin smiled and patted her hands. "We are all young people. It's rare that we can talk to each other. We should visit each other more often."

"Go ahead, the Queen should be done with her work by now."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law respectfully saw Concubine Jin off, then looked at each other, and then followed the guidance of the palace servants to pay their respects to the Queen.

When the queen saw the three big beads presented by Xin An, her eyes lit up and she asked where they came from.

"To answer your Majesty, they came from overseas. Those curly-haired, blue-eyed people exchanged these three beads and a box of gems for brocade, tea and porcelain. Gems are common and have been inlaid on your mother-in-law's head, but these three beads are extremely rare. Only someone as noble as your Majesty can match them."

The headpiece Wang was wearing today was the one Xin An gave her. The Queen praised it highly, "It is indeed gorgeous and unparalleled. Your filial piety is commendable."

At this time, the queen had already decided where to inlay the beads, and she liked Xin An very much. "I often hear Yaoyao mention you, saying that you have a good temper, are smart but not ostentatious, and are very steady at a young age. I have wanted to meet you for a long time."

"The herbs your father sent have been used at Qianjintang. You deserve your reputation for kindness and kindness."

Xin An bowed slightly, "Father often said that merchants can travel smoothly from north to south to make money and live a prosperous life, all because the country has a wise ruler and the people are peaceful. You know, in troubled times, many merchants died in foreign lands in order to support their families. Father dare not forget the kindness of the court for a day."

"Your Majesty is kind and virtuous. It is a blessing to follow in your footsteps."

The queen smiled at Wang and said, "You have a good daughter-in-law."

Wang didn't know that Xin An had hooked up with Qian Jin Tang, but that didn't stop her from praising Xin An. "This child is filial and kind. It's a great blessing for my son to marry her."

"Your Majesty, you may not know that my son is not as steady as his brother. I have spoiled him since he was a child. He is neither good at literature nor martial arts. I thought that this would be his life. I just hoped that he would live a stable life and not get into trouble. I didn't expect that he would start to make progress after getting married."

"A few days ago, he was praised and promoted by the emperor. I am happy but also worried, fearing that he will fail to do his job well and fail to live up to the emperor's grace."

The queen smiled and said, "It is said that after you get married and start a family, you will naturally settle down. What's more, you have such a good wife, shouldn't you cherish her?"

Even the Queen thought that Tang Mo was lucky to have gotten such a wife by accident. This girl from the Xin family had been arranged to marry into the Marquis' Mansion a long time ago. Presumably, the Xin family had put a lot of thought into helping her gain a foothold in the Marquis' Mansion, which could be seen from her meticulous adherence to the rules.

She has money and intelligence. It's not surprising that Tang Mo, an unmotivated man, has become what he is today after falling into her hands.

"Your son's future is still to come."

Wang hurriedly smiled and thanked them, and then talked about the blessings of the emperor and the queen.

As expected, the Queen invited her to dinner. Xin An felt that this trip was worth it in her life. She had already dined with the three most powerful people in the dynasty. She would write a letter to her father later. When she went out, she gave herself her status and face, so she had to brag about it.

When they left the palace, the queen gave them many gifts. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law thanked her respectfully, and they returned with a full load.

After jumping around in the mansion for half a day, Zhang got to know some of the situation in the mansion and learned about Tang Rong's misfortunes in the past six months. After her proposal to invite a master to perform a ritual was rejected by Tang Rong, Zhang felt that all the misfortunes were caused by Tang Mo at Tang Rong's suggestion.

And he commented: There is no difference between a son born to a stepmother and a son of a concubine. Their ambitions are as high as the sky, but their lives are as fragile as paper.

Fortunately, she was not stupid enough to go against Wang directly. Instead, after a detailed discussion with Tang Rong, she focused on the two girls she brought with her. They were both old enough to get engaged, and if they had powerful in-laws, it would be a help to Tang Rong.

So the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had just returned to the mansion, and before they sat down to talk about what happened in the palace today, Zhang came and asked if the mansion would hold a banquet at the end of the year.

Wang understood what she meant. She just wanted to choose a son-in-law for herself, but she didn't want to be chosen.

"Normally, we should hold a banquet at the end of the year and invite relatives and friends to our house. Now people from our clan are coming. The boys and girls who come won't go back. So we have to introduce them to other families so that it will be convenient for them to travel in the future."

Zhang agreed, "That's right. Relatives have come from so far away, so we have to hold a banquet to liven it up and show that we value them."

Wang looked like she was making a lot of sense, and then she changed the subject, "I just don't know when they will arrive, and we're busy at the end of the year, so I discussed with the old lady and decided to hold the banquet in the early spring of next year. At that time, the flowers will be in full bloom, the sky will be clear, and it will be the spring season, so it's a good time to hold a banquet."

"Next spring?"

Zhang said on the spot that it was impossible, as the day lily would be cold by next year.

Xin An also saw what Zhang meant, and smiled and said, "The Xin residence has been renovated, and flowers and plants have been replanted. I would like to hold a small banquet at the Xin residence in the spring of next year, and invite the ladies I know to have tea and chat together."

Wang thought it was a good idea. "You young people have something to say when you get together. I've also seen your house. It's in a good location and spacious. It's also decent for entertaining guests. If you're short of manpower, you can just transfer people from your mansion there."

"Then I will have to lend the mansion's chef to me."

"Just call over whoever you like."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were talking affectionately and deliberately ignored Zhang, but Zhang was not the kind of person who could be ignored, and asked if there were many banquets to attend next.

Wang said, "There are many invitations coming, and we can choose two when the time comes."

"Wouldn't it be bad if I didn't go after someone sent me an invitation?"

She was anxious to take her two daughters out to meet someone, just in case they were chosen by a wealthy and powerful family.

Wang said, "Sister-in-law, you don't know that the Marquis's family will not accept any invitation. If you just go along with them, people who don't know will think that our Marquis's family has fallen into decline."

Xin An suddenly had an idea, and instantly dug a big hole for Zhang and Tang Rong. "Mother, I heard that my uncle also has classmates and friends in Beijing, and some of them are high-ranking officials? Those people should be very happy to know that my uncle and aunt have come to the capital, right?"

"It's rare for my uncle and aunt to come to the capital. Now that they are finally here, we naturally have to visit them. It will also help my uncle's career. If we don't visit them now, won't people think that my uncle and aunt look down on us?"
