Tang Mo was not surprised by Liao Zhi's attitude. Once something is done, it will leave clues. No one can be absolutely foolproof. He would find it strange if Liao Zhi, who was in charge of the Beiya Army, didn't know this at all.

He dared to take action because he knew that Liao Zhi would not interfere. Compared with his actions of sending his grandfather and father to death, beating Tang Rong was no big deal.

"Thank you for your advice. This is a rare opportunity and I will not miss it. I had no choice before, but I won't need it in the future."

Liao Zhi did not continue speaking. He just held the bowl and drank water. Suddenly, he missed his wife.

Tang Mo was also thinking about his wife, who was still running around outside in the freezing cold. He felt jealous when he thought of Xin An enjoying a good life in the mansion.

Seeing him laughing foolishly, Liao Zhi frowned slightly, "What are you laughing at?"

"I want to laugh when I think of my wife. I guess she is taking a nap on the beauty couch right now. Her life is so beautiful that it makes people envious."

Liao Zhi agreed with this point, "Your wife knows how to enjoy life."

He also taught his wife.

"As a woman, if you are lucky enough, you are born to enjoy happiness."

Tang Mo has experience in this area, and couldn't help but say a few more words here.

"A woman's honor and disgrace in life depends on her father and brother before she gets married, and on her husband after she gets married. If my wife is always running around and living a haggard life, I can only say that I am not good enough."

"If I have the leisure to enjoy myself, to look at flowers and choose jewelry, to beautify my skin and paint my nails, then it means that my house is safe and secure, and it means I still have something to use."

He looked at Liao Zhi meaningfully, hesitated for a moment and then continued, "I'm not saying anything too much, but the relationship between you and your sister-in-law is somewhat inappropriate. How can your beautiful wife be ordered around by subordinates? Let alone the brothers and nephews in the mansion, even if my father dares to embarrass my wife, I won't agree. You must get back at my wife that day, otherwise how can she survive in the mansion?"

"We are busy with work and are not at home all day. They have helped us solve so many problems at home. We should not let them down."

He had heard Xin An say more than once that Liao Zhi was a rude person, and that he threw all the big and small matters, both inside and outside the house, to his sister Xu. He said that his sister Xu had never had a good day since she got married into the mansion, and the whole family was keeping an eye on her, and she spent money and effort but still got nothing in return. It was like Liao Zhi got a mountain of gold and a capable subordinate for nothing.

But Liao Zhi couldn't directly support her when she was bullied in the mansion.

Liao Zhi frowned, he had never really thought about these issues. He always believed that men should be the breadwinners outside and women should be the homemakers, and once the courtyard door is closed, all the household affairs should be taken care of by the mistress of the house.

He ignored his wife's thoughts.

I thought he was going to be angry. After all, generals all have bad tempers. Tang Mo was prepared, but Liao Zhi said, "Tell me if you know anything later."

"what?"

"Aren't you angry?"

Liao Zhi raised his eyebrows, "Do I look like such an unreasonable person?"

"You two are allowed to be inseparable, but we are not allowed to live in harmony?"

Tang Mo laughed, "What you said is serious. I promise to be the first to tell you if I get any first-hand information later."

Liao Zhi nodded, and in a rare good mood, he began to give Tang Mo some advice. Tang Mo sat upright, afraid that he might miss something...

"You don't need to be nervous when you come with me to the banquet today. Just follow me. Do you still remember the rules I taught you yesterday?"

It was a rare day with clear skies and the wind was much milder. Xin An and Wang were going to lead the women of the clan to attend the banquet. Zhao had already dressed up with her three sons early in the morning. It was her first time attending a banquet hosted by dignitaries in Kyoto, so she would be lying if she wasn't nervous.

"Second sister-in-law, am I okay with this outfit?"

"Second sister-in-law, we don't know anyone, and we are a little scared."

"Aunt Cuiping taught us all the rules, and I memorized them at the time, for fear that I would forget them when I met someone else."

The three girls held onto Xin An's hand tightly, as if they wanted to hang on to him forever. Xin An smiled and comforted them, "Don't worry. The wives of the nobles are very proud and won't embarrass anyone. I'll take you to meet the people you know first. They're all easy to talk to. Then we can act accordingly."

"Don't wander around when you get there, and don't be alone. We are not ostentatious, but there is no need to be timid. You are now the daughters of the Marquis' Mansion, and many people are of lower status than you, so don't worry."

After some consolation, the three "children" finally felt relieved. Before getting in the car, Zhao gave some instructions again. She also had to go with Wang to meet people, and she was nervous, but she was the elder and still had to save face.

Today is the birthday of the old man in Prime Minister Ouyang's mansion. The old man Ouyang who picked the moon in the Second Prince's mansion is in very good spirits. It is said that there are always one or two days every month when he chases Prime Minister Ouyang with a stick and beats him, making it known that Prime Minister Ouyang is afraid of the old man.

The Ouyang Mansion was filled with joy today. When the carriage of the Marquis' Mansion arrived, the housekeeper trotted down the stairs to greet them with a cordial attitude. Then the housekeeper led the female members of the family to the inner courtyard.

The greenhouse was naturally full of people. After Wang led the guests in, the greenhouse instantly became crowded. After the greetings, Xin An took his three sons and retreated to the garden to make room for the next batch of guests.

"These are your three cousins?"

Lin Yao and the others arrived early. When they saw Xin An coming, their eyes fell on the three girls behind her. "It can be said that God is particularly fond of the Tang family. Look how pretty these three girls are. Now you can't go to the Marquis' Mansion casually."

Xin An asked with a smile, "What does this mean?"

"As a beauty in a mansion, wouldn't she feel ashamed if she went there?"

Xin An laughed, "Since Sister Lin said that, I will take it as a compliment."

He turned to the three girls and said, "Come and greet these beautiful young ladies."

The three sisters came forward with red faces to greet each other, and Xin An introduced them one by one, "Quan'er is polite, Fei'er is lively, Ke'er is cute and innocent. I hope you, the beautiful ladies, will take good care of them in the future."

Everyone present laughed, looked up at the three sisters carefully, asked a few questions, and then sent someone to find the girls from the Qinghou Mansion and introduced the three sisters to them, "Take these three sisters to walk around the garden."

"If it's cold, come back and warm yourself by the fire."

Next to where they sat were several large charcoal basins, covered with exquisite iron nets, so they didn't feel cold sitting around them.

At Xin An's signal, the three girls followed and talked. Lin Yao pulled Xin An aside and asked what was going on, "Do you want to stay in Beijing to get married?"

"maybe."

Xin An didn't want to say anything final, and smiled and said, "Five young men from the clan have come, all of them are handsome and well-proportioned, three of them have achieved academic honors, two are candidates for the imperial examination, and the oldest is only sixteen. This time they came to the capital to study and wait for their fate in two years."

"Among the five men there are the older brothers or younger brothers of these three sisters. They came here to take care of each other and to see if they can find a marriage partner in the capital."

"Their parents are reluctant to let them go, so they don't necessarily have to live in Beijing."
