"Madam, the vegetables are ready."

Chunyang put some boiled vegetables on a plate and brought it to Xinan. Xinan looked at the color and smelled the aroma. After a comparison, he found that what Manager Yang sent was indeed outstanding. Even if it was not as good as seasonal vegetables, it was already the best greenhouse vegetables in Beijing.

"Are there any more baskets like this?"

Manager Yang said that the farm had been prepared and had compiled about a hundred of them.

"Tomorrow you will deliver 100 kilograms directly to Wanyuan Store on Yinghui Street. Bring me 50 baskets and deliver them together. I will have someone take you to see Fang Da, the chief steward of Wanyuan Store. You can discuss the amount of your deliveries with Steward Fang directly."

Nanfeng was responsible for taking him there, and as soon as the others left, Xin An told Chunyang to go to the Xin residence and ask Aunt Wang to prepare New Year gifts for the people below, "Just like before, don't be stingy, prepare something decent and practical."

Chunyang said, "Don't worry, Madam. Aunt Wang may not be as good as Aunt Cuiping in preparing New Year gifts for dignitaries, but when it comes to preparing gifts for the lower-class people, Aunt Wang has never made a mistake."

"go quickly."

Xin An stood up and asked Chunlu to divide the vegetables that Manager Yang brought today into three portions, one to take back and the other two to be sent to the front yard and Chunrong Hall.

In the front yard, Zhang, who did not go out for the banquet today, was making up stories about Tang Mo in front of the old lady and Wang, saying that he was disrespectful to his elders and showing off his verbal prowess.

Wang, who already knew the inside story, didn't hesitate, "I already know the reason for this matter. If I hadn't said anything, why would you care about the dowry of the second son's wife?"

"The dowry is hers. She can spend it however she likes. It's not a big deal. I, as the mother-in-law, didn't ask about it. Why should the sister-in-law interfere? If someone doesn't know, they might think it was me who ordered it. Wouldn't that add to the misunderstanding?"

Wang knew about this and naturally told the old lady about it. The old lady didn't like Zhang in the first place, and now she disliked her even more.

Zhang is thick-skinned and wants to defend Tang Rong. "Now that I have come to this, I won't hide anything. My nephew's mother passed away early, and there is no one to help him with many things. There is one thing I, as his aunt, have to say a few words."

These words immediately offended the old lady and Wang. Did Tang Rong, who grew up under their noses, suffer injustice?

Zhang said, "When the old marquis was still alive, the Xin family was arranged to marry. The Xin family has also been protected by the marquis's mansion for many years. According to the rules, a portion of the dowry of a married girl must be taken out, and this portion is to be used on her husband. Although the marriage has changed, the dowry cannot disappear."

"The Xin family should have a clear idea of ​​who this mansion will rely on in the future."

Wang was simply amazed. She had seen shameless people before, but this was the first time she had seen someone so shameless. "Is this what the boss meant?"

"That's what I meant."

Zhang also knew to get Tang Rong out of the way, "I'm her aunt, I can't stand watching him being bullied and wronged."

"Boss doesn't know?"

"I don't know."

Wang looked coldly, "In that case, what identity do you have to interfere in the affairs of the Marquis' Mansion?"

"There are still his grandmother and father in this mansion. At worst, there is still me, his stepmother. It is not your turn as an aunt to make decisions. What's more, what you are talking about concerns the reputation of my mansion."

"Why, you want people outside to say that he, Tang Rong, took possession of his sister-in-law on his wedding day, and you also want to impose on him a reputation of wanting to take possession of his sister-in-law's dowry. Do you think he is not bad enough and that our Marquis' Mansion has a good reputation?"

She stood up angrily and said, "As his stepmother, I must ask him in person. If he really doesn't know, I ask you, the Wei family, to move out of the Marquis' Mansion immediately and stop having any contact with him."

I have never seen such tough Wang and Zhang. They were always polite to each other when they met before. Now they want to drive her away?

His eyes instantly turned to the old lady. The old lady raised her hand to call Wang, but before she could even call out, she became dizzy and could not stand. Gan Lu immediately stepped forward, asked someone to bring water and ordered someone to call the palace doctor. In a blink of an eye, the old lady was helped into the inner room, and then sat down with a look of disgust on her face, "Go send her away, don't let her come again."

The troublemaker from the Wei family is still not quiet even after arriving at the Marquis' Mansion. It's really out of character.

When Wang said she wanted to find Tang Rong, she didn't mean to scare Zhang, but went straight to Chunhua Courtyard. At this time, the two sisters of the Wei family were still here talking to Tao Yiran on their mother's orders. When they learned that Wang had arrived, they stood up and soon heard Wang's voice questioning Tang Rong.

"I was busy greeting your uncle when he came, but how have I let him down?"

"Let me ask you, was it your idea to want Xin An's dowry?"

Tang Rong was originally in good spirits and was reading a book, thinking about how to make use of his uncle. Who knew that Wang would rush in front of him, making him unable to recover for a while. Wang slapped the table, frightening him and said, "Tell me, is it true or not?"

"What did mother say?"

Tang Rong sat up straight, "I don't know what mother is talking about."

"You do not know?"

Wang had long wanted to scold him severely, so how could she miss the chance? "Didn't you mean that your aunt would openly ask for Xin An's dowry?"

"Tang Rong, you have been taught by famous teachers since childhood. Where have your sense of propriety, righteousness, and integrity gone?"

"We won't talk about what happened in the past anymore. Everything was to your liking. Now you are still thinking about Xin An's dowry. Is this something you can think about?"

"We don't want people, but we can't be short of money? Is that what you think?"

Tang Rong's face flushed, his heart tightened, and he understood what happened in an instant. "Whether mother believes it or not, I have never had such thoughts from the beginning to the end. Aunt asked me a question, and I have already made it clear that I would not have such thoughts. If I really thought so, and asked my aunt to ask for it for me, who would I be as Tang Rong? I don't want any reputation at all?"

"Even if I am a shameless person, don't I have a wife? Doesn't my wife have a dowry? Do I need to worry about my brother and sister-in-law's dowry?"

He really didn't lie. Zhang asked him to ask for the dowry, but why would he do such a thing? Without Tang Mo and Xin An, all the dowry belonged to him. Why would he go to the trouble of asking for some?

But he didn't expect that his aunt was more of a hindrance than a help.

Wang snorted coldly, "Not only did your aunt scold Xin An in person and hinted that she should hand over her dowry, she even mentioned it openly in front of me and your grandmother just now. I don't know who will believe a word you say."

"From the time I came into your family until you became an adult, tell me if I have done anything wrong to you. Has your second brother ever done anything to hurt you? Why can't you let him go and make him a laughing stock?"

At this moment, Tang Rong felt that even if he had a mouth full of mouths, he still couldn't explain it. "Mother, I really don't have such an idea. I don't know why Aunt wants to do this. I will explain it to Aunt later."

"Don't say that either."

Wang said bluntly, "The Marquis's Mansion is too small to accommodate your aunt. Before the New Year comes, you should hurry back so that you can go back to the Wei Family to show off your power."

After saying that, he turned around and left. When he went out, he saw the two Wei sisters who stepped back in fear, and then he left without looking back.

The two sisters were worried. Were they going to be kicked out of the mansion?
