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

Xin An was a little surprised to meet Mrs. Zhang at General Zhang's house.

Although the two had known each other for several months, he had never thought of her as the granddaughter-in-law of General Zhang.

When Old Madam Zhang learned that they knew each other, she asked Madam Zhang to take Xin An to talk. As soon as they left the courtyard, Xin An said, "I have known Madam Zhang for so long, but I didn't know that you were the granddaughter-in-law of Zhang's grandfather."

Madam Zhang tilted her head and looked at me as if to say, "Why are you so stupid?"

"You've been in Beijing for so long, haven't you sorted out the relationships among the various families?"

Xin An said she had figured it out, "but the relationships here are so complicated that I can't figure it out without a few years of effort."

Madam Zhang thought about it and felt that what she said made sense. These were things that had to be learned since childhood. "The old man and the old marquis of the Marquis' Mansion were comrades in arms in the past. They had a very good relationship. It was only in recent years that the Marquis' Mansion had less contact with each other after the Emperor Wen's death."

Xin An smiled apologetically. It turned out that others knew everything, but she herself couldn't figure out the relationship here. It was obvious that she had lived in vain in her previous life.

"Let me ask you, didn't your prince's uncle come here with two girls? Are they planning to find a husband in the capital?"

People say that he is a big mouth and he is very curious.

"No, they all went back."

"gone back?"

Madam Zhang thought there would be some fun after the New Year. "I heard that Madam Wei took the two girls from the Wei family to various houses, selling them like merchandise. Why did she go back?"

Xin An rubbed his forehead silently. It had been a long time since he heard someone speak so directly.

"Young Madam must have misunderstood. He was just visiting an old friend of Uncle Wei's. He didn't want to look for relatives in the capital, so he left yesterday and was in a hurry to take up his new post."

Madam Zhang obviously didn't believe it, but she was not stupid. Besides, she was so well-informed, how could she have misunderstood?

"He is such a good guy."

His eyes fell on Xin An's face, "Too smooth."

"what?"

Xin An thought it was funny, "He's a nice guy, right? How can a nice guy be so smooth?"

Madam Zhang advised earnestly, "How can you get first-hand information like this? You have to tell us what you know in order to exchange."

"I don't believe you know nothing."

Mrs. Zhang Shao said that it had been a long time since she heard the bad news.

The two sat down in the garden. The sun was shining brightly today, making people feel warm. Xin An said that she really didn't know much about what was going on outside. "I'm not a young lady, so I don't know many people."

"I seldom go out on weekdays, and I'm only familiar with a few people, so naturally I don't know much about interesting things."

Madam Zhang did not ask her any more questions. You know, she hadn't sat down with anyone to talk about interesting things for a long time. She was feeling very anxious and didn't care whether Xin An was willing or not. She immediately told her about the news she had heard, such as Zhu You from the Duke of Xiangguo's Mansion had returned, and he went to the Huang family to find Huang Wei every day, saying that everything had changed.

"Have you heard? I heard that Zhu You suffered a lot of hardships on the farm and lost a lot of weight. He was not brought back until the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month."

"Did you not send a message to Tao Yiran?"

Xin An shook his head, "I don't know. My sister-in-law hasn't left the house since she became pregnant. She rarely leaves the mansion gate, let alone the courtyard gate. She's taking care of the baby."

"Didn't you say that Zhu You said he has changed and he won't be thinking about my sister-in-law anymore?"

"Then the Marquis' Mansion is your world, isn't it?"

Madam Zhang clicked her tongue twice, "I heard that you were helping the housekeeper, which is above Tao Yiran. You are really smooth."

Xin An didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "My helping the housekeeper has nothing to do with whether she goes out or not."

"Besides, there are elders above me, so the world will never be mine."

Madam Zhang said, "You can't fool me." "I trust other people, but I don't trust you. You are your mother-in-law's biological daughter-in-law."

Xin An asked with a smile, "Can't it be that I have the ability to be a housekeeper?"

"See, admit it, you're just smooth."

There was no more room for conversation that day, so Xin An could only change the subject and ask her to tell two more interesting stories. Soon, Mrs. Zhang Shao discovered that although Xin An didn't know any new and interesting stories, she was a good listener. Not only did she listen attentively, she also agreed with them, which made her in a good mood.

When leaving the Zhang family, Madam Zhang was reluctant to leave and said that she would go to the Marquis' Mansion to talk to her when she was free. What could Xin An do?

I can only welcome it.

After leaving Zhang's house, the group went to Liu's house. Tang Gang also asked General Liu to take care of Tang Mo, which made Tang Mo feel that the old man really wanted to support him and perhaps he could trust him again.

On the eighth day of the first lunar month, the court was opened and the Marquis' Mansion returned to the days before the New Year. Tang Gang went to court early in the morning, Tang Mo also went out to work, Xin An continued to sleep until he woke up naturally, and the four brothers Tang Nan did not return to the academy until after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. From today on, they had to concentrate on reviewing their lessons in their rooms. Tang Quan'er and her two sisters were also detained by Zhao in the yard to meditate.

Everyone in the mansion has something to do, except Tang Rong.

It wasn't noticeable a few days ago when everyone was in the mansion, but now he was the only one doing nothing. His injury had healed, and he was becoming very impatient.

He planned to ask Cai Quan to urge those people who had received the money but had not done their job, and he also planned to contact the people he bribed to cause trouble years ago. He didn't see any results, so he would not pay the rest of the money, and he would have to return the money he had paid before.

Before he started eating, Qing Mo came up to him and lowered his voice, "Sir, today Steward Wei Chun said he saw a white tiger ornament from Madam's dowry in the pawnshop."

Wei Chun was also Tang Rong's biological mother's maid, and was responsible for managing several shops outside the mansion for Tang Rong.

Tang Rong was still in shock for a moment, Qing Mo continued, "Manager Wei Chun said that after his inquiries, there was more than one dowry from the lady in the pawnshop. He thought that the prince had encountered difficulties, so he came here today to ask about it."

Tang Rong stood up suddenly, "Where is he?"

"forecourt."

Tang Rong walked out quickly. Looking at his leaving back, Aunt Cai suddenly felt a little panicked. But then she thought that she had already made up for it and it should not be noticeable. She comforted herself and then turned around to get busy.

In the front yard, Manager Wei Chun told Tang Rong what he had discovered when he saw him. The reason was that he found a hairpin on the head of the wife of a merchant he had dealings with that looked familiar, so he pretended to ask casually and found out that it was from a pawn shop.

He went to the pawnshop on the pretext of exchanging treasures, and as expected, he got his wife's dowry. "The white jade tiger descending the mountain is one of the Wei family's heirlooms. It has been passed down for four generations. The master took it out and gave it to his wife as a dowry. The yellow stripes on the tiger's back are naturally formed. I can't be mistaken."

"There is also a two-handled beauty shrugging bottle. The lady picture on it was specially drawn by a scholar and fired by a craftsman. There is no other one in the world that is exactly the same."

"According to the pawnshop owner, it was a man in his 37s or 38s who pawned it. He said the owner was having a hard time and wanted to supplement his family income. He didn't say which family it was."
