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

The matter between the Xu family and the Xin family had come to this point, so the Second Prince's wife no longer got involved. All she had to do was to establish a relationship with Xin An. She leaned against the soft pillow and listened to Xin An talk about the various local rituals of Huaijiang with a smile. Not to mention Xin An, even she felt a little greedy.

"My taste has become strange since I got pregnant. I always feel greedy. I can almost smell the aroma of that sour and spicy fish fillet you mentioned."

Xin An said she was greedy. The Second Prince's wife couldn't eat casually, but she could, so she planned to make arrangements tonight.

The Second Prince's wife was impressed by Xin An's changes. When she first saw her, she was tense all over. Even though she deliberately spoke lightly and smiled brightly, she could not hide the feeling of being old-fashioned.

Even now she still looks bright and cheerful, but her whole body seems more relaxed and light-hearted, and that old-fashioned feeling is gone.

"I heard that you and Mrs. Liao also did business together?"

Xin An sighed that there were no secrets in the capital. "Sister Xu and I have similar personalities. I have a shop and she has a source of goods, so we opened a grocery store together to earn some money for cosmetics and to kill time when we are bored."

"You all know how to do business. To be honest, I envy you. You are much more comfortable than me."

She looked dignified, but in fact she was not as free as Xin An.

Pregnant women are so sentimental. One moment they were in a good mood, and the next moment they began to sigh. Xin An smiled and said, "Everyone knows that the Second Prince loves you very much. You are the envy of many women. You are at ease in your heart. When your heart is at ease, everything is at ease. Sister Xu and I opened a shop because we are at ease. You are taking care of your baby in the mansion, watching the clouds roll and the flowers bloom and fall, which is also a kind of freedom."

"You know, such a peaceful and tranquil life requires very blessed people to have."

The Second Prince's wife laughed, "No wonder Lin Yao likes to talk to you. I'll find an opportunity to invite her to come over. How about we play a few cards? It's also a way to relax."

"Please set a time and send someone to call me. I haven't touched it for a long time, so my hands are unfamiliar."

"I'm lucky. There are two of us now. I'm lucky."

The Second Prince's Consort was in a better mood again. Before Xin An could continue speaking, a maid in palace dress stepped forward to remind her, "The Second Prince's Consort should go walk around in the courtyard."

Xin An could clearly see the helplessness in the Second Prince's wife's eyes. Xin An stood up and said goodbye with a smile. The Second Prince's wife was still reluctant to let her go, "Remember to come and sit again when you are free."

"Will do."

When she returned home, she let out a long sigh of relief and leaned on the beauty couch, "It's so hard for me."

The meeting with the Second Prince's wife lasted only two sticks of incense, but I felt weak. "Aunt, how come her expression changed so quickly? I was so nervous. I didn't feel this way the two times I met her before."

Cuiping said: "The baby in my belly is too important."

"Marrying into the royal family may seem glorious, but in fact, one has to be extremely cautious every day. You can see how many eyes have been watching her since the news of her pregnancy came out. Concubine Jin in the palace has been asking about her every day, and the Second Prince is even more caring. Madam Xu even visits her every one or two days. They all have great expectations for her belly, so how can she not be nervous, especially since it's her first child."

Let’s talk about the nanny today, who was the nanny beside Concubine Jin. “The imperial physician also goes there every day, which shows how careful he is.”

"The Emperor has no great-grandchildren yet."

These words were spoken in a low voice. Xin An raised her eyebrows, thinking that children in the royal family are not called children, but chips. She remembered that in her previous life, the Second Prince's wife gave birth to a girl.

"It's really not easy for women. I'm still the best."

The three pregnant women next door were able to give birth to sons. People like them who are second wives don’t have such big responsibilities and their lives are easier.

Cuiping suggested that she should go less often in the future, and Xin An nodded, "I know what I'm doing."

If she had followed the path of her previous life, she would have become the queen. How could the monarch and his subjects be too close? It was important to maintain a suitable distance.

"Rest for a while. Nanfeng just said that Madam Wei came to look for you. I'm afraid she will come again after she learned that you are back."

"Why did she come to me? We've already fallen out."

"Maybe they came here for the two Wei girls. I heard they made some jokes outside."

Xin An became interested, "What's the joke?"

Cuiping knew that she liked to hear these things, so she turned around and told Nanfeng to come in and talk. Nanfeng, who had heard the news, couldn't wait any longer and started telling her everything that had happened to Madam Wei in the past few days.

"She told everyone she met that she was a relative of the Marquis' Mansion, saying that her nephew was the Marquis's heir. She also had a loud voice. I heard that when she was talking to Madam Liu, her saliva flew all over her face, which made her feel disgusted. She was not welcomed by everyone after just a few days."

"The two girls from the Wei family played the zither at Madam Liu's banquet. They said it was just average, but Madam Zhang praised it to the skies."

"Now those people are laughing at her. Some people even say that our wife is dignified and prudent, and the Wang family also knows how to behave. They say that the Marquis is blessed."

Xin An took the bird's nest that Chun Yang brought, "If she comes to see me later, tell her that I'm tired and taking a rest. If she needs anything, she can go to the next door."

"understood."

Nanfeng said that he would never let the annoying Mrs. Zhang enter Qiushiyuan.

Xin An yawned and said, "I'll take a nap for a while."

Several people retreated quietly. The sky outside had become gloomy again. Tang Gang walked quickly on the road. It was freezing cold, and he was anxious to return home to warm up.

"My Lord, please wait a moment."

Minister Fang of the Ministry of Revenue quickly caught up with him and asked, "My Lord, are you going back to your residence?"

"It's going to snow, it's really freezing."

Tang Gang stamped his feet, "Is there something wrong, Minister Fang?"

The two walked side by side on the way out of the palace. Minister Fang smiled and said, "I heard that the Marquis's in-laws, the Xin family from Huaijiang, have obtained the salt permit for the Northwest Salt Road. I also heard that General Xu bought a large amount of sugar from Boss Xin. With these two big businesses in sugar and salt, the Xin family has a very important position among all the salt merchants."

"If I need anything in the future, I will ask for your help, my Lord."

As soon as the Xin family's 500,000 taels arrived at the Ministry of Revenue, the news was known. Everyone thought it was Tang Gang's work and they admired him very much. Having such a relative would save them a lot of trouble.

Although the imperial court is wealthy, there are many natural disasters and man-made disasters every year. It is impossible for the national treasury to allocate money every time. When encountering major disasters, the wealthy salt merchants have to play a big role. However, the salt merchants have always been in the same boat, and it is not easy to get them to return money. It is another matter to have their own people.

Tang Gang had no idea of ​​this, but fortunately he was experienced and calm, "It is our job to share the worries of the court, Minister Fang, you are too polite."

Minister Fang wanted to invite him to have a drink together, but Tang Gang politely declined. The first thing he did when he arrived at the Marquis' Mansion was to talk to Tang Mo.

Tang Mo came back early today. Liao Zhi was going to go out of the capital to recruit troops, so he planned to take Tang Mo to see the world. He gave him two days to arrange his affairs. "Come back in seven days after this trip."
