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

Xin Kuan was the happiest person when he was given a meal by the emperor, but the Yao family was the most surprised. The Yao family was also considered to be the emperor's confidants, but they had never received such an honor before.

The angriest person was Tang Gang. Xin Kuan's attitude during his visit to Beijing made him realize clearly that the Xin family's dependence on the Marquis' Mansion was decreasing. He had lost control over Xin Kuan and was too embarrassed to tell others that up to now, except for the day when Xin Kuan just arrived in Beijing, he had not been able to talk or eat with Xin Kuan.

But he couldn't get angry because he still had to count on Xin Kuan's help after arriving at Huaijiang.

Finally, the time came for him to look at Xin Kuan's expression.

On this day, Xin An and Xin Huan had just returned from shopping for gifts. Before they reached Qiushi Courtyard, they saw a lady coming towards them from afar. When the lady got closer, they realized who it was: Tao Yiran's cousin, the great-niece of the old lady of the Tao family.

This man was Tao Yiran's lackey in his previous life. He helped Tao Yiran to hook up with Tang Rong, thus helping her man get a lot of benefits from Tang Rong.

"Are you the second young master's wife of this mansion?"

"Who are you?"

Almost the moment she opened her mouth, Xin An had already arranged her death.

"I am my cousin, the cousin of the wife of the prince. My husband's surname is Mu. You can call me Madam Mu."

Xin An raised his eyebrows, "So she is my sister-in-law's cousin. She is as beautiful as my sister-in-law."

"I was thinking that everyone in the family will be leaving the hospital in a few days, and I am worried about leaving my sister-in-law at home. Now that Madam Mu is here, it is just right. In the future, you must come to the house often to accompany my sister-in-law and relieve her boredom."

"That's natural."

Mrs. Mu Shao had just arrived in the capital, and she only knew that her cousin had married into the Marquis's family and became the Crown Prince's wife, and would be the Marquis's wife in the future. As a cousin, she had to rise up with the tide. In the past few months, she had been taking advantage of this to bully others in her husband's family. Now that she was in the capital, she naturally wanted to get closer to her cousin.

"Excuse me."

Xin An went straight back to Qiushi Garden, and Nanfeng came to report, "Mr. Xu sent something in today, and it has already reached the hands of the eldest young lady."

Nanfeng felt that the girl next door was really arrogant, openly having sex with a man outsider with a big belly.

Xin An's lips curled slightly, "After we leave, you guard the door of Chunhua Courtyard, and when the time is right, find a way to reveal this matter to Madam Tao without leaving any trace."

"The most important thing is to tell this matter to the husband of today's Madam Mu, and spread the news bit by bit before we come back."

She wanted to completely put an end to Tao Yiran's situation and make the child in her belly lose the possibility of competing. The two people from the Mu family would just be extras in this matter.

Nanfeng began to get excited again. She could foresee how lively Chunhua Court would be in the future and how unscrupulous the eldest young lady would be.

By mid-March, Xin Kuan had dealt with all matters in the capital and announced that he could set off back to Huaijiang.

At this time, Tang Gang also led his family to Huaijiang to visit his relatives. When the news came out, people said all kinds of things. Most of them were envious of Xin An for making such a big fuss just to return to her parents' home.

"We are leaving now. If you have any problems, go find your aunt or your mother. Be careful."

Wang gave Tao Yiran the routine instructions and also told Aunt Liu to take good care of her.

"Don't worry, mother. Your daughter-in-law will take good care of herself and the baby in her belly. I just hope that your grandmother, father, mother, and siblings can have a safe journey and return safely."

Tao Yiran couldn't hide her excitement. Wang could understand. She nodded and got into the car. The motorcade set off in a mighty manner. Tao Yiran turned around and walked back in. Her steps were much lighter. "Aunt, I've been feeling a little uneasy these past two days. I plan to go to Nandu Temple to burn incense tomorrow."

Zhao subconsciously looked at her belly, and then she found that she was wearing a skirt, which covered her not-so-big belly, making her look like she wasn't pregnant. "You need me to send some people to take care of you. You are pregnant now, so try not to go out too much. Don't be careless."

Otherwise, she didn't look uneasy at all, which made Zhao feel uneasy.

"I will be careful. I am going there first to seek peace of mind and second to pray to the Buddha to bless my grandmother and her trip."

She insisted on going, and Zhao had no choice but to nod. Aunt Liu was so upset that her mouth was about to burst with bile. Ever since the Spring Festival Banquet in the mansion, the young lady has been feeling amorous, and with the bewitching sound of the harp, now there is a cousin who seems to be out of touch. She is teetering on the edge of death.

Originally, she was supposed to accompany the supervision, but when it got dark she started to have diarrhea, which was so severe that she had to squat on the toilet and couldn't stand up. Her legs were weak and she felt dizzy and had severe abdominal pain. She felt better at dawn, but she couldn't get up. She could only listen to the footsteps and the cheerful sound of Baoqin slowly disappearing in the yard. At this moment, she understood everything, and turbid tears rolled down the corners of her eyes.

After all, mud cannot be propped up against a wall.

"Tell me, what are the rules for getting those salt merchants to pay?"

The convoy to Huaijiang changed boats after a day of sailing. Tang Gang and Xin Kuan sat opposite each other on the deck. "Is it easy?"

Xin Kuan shook his head. "Salt merchants are rich, but no matter how rich they are, money doesn't come from the wind. There is no war right now, and there are no natural or man-made disasters. It's difficult to just ask people to take money like this."

Even the emperor knows that it is not easy to get money from salt merchants. They will not open the door easily. Anyone who opens the door can get the money. It is better not to do this business.

"You can't even take the lead?"

Tang Gang even hoped that Xin Kuan would give the one million taels himself, but Xin Kuan was no fool. "You really can't count on me for this matter. I can only say a few good words for you. The Salt Chamber of Commerce is not under my control, and I can't risk being excluded by the other families. The Marquis can just walk away, but the Xin family is going to live in Huaijiang for a long time."

"According to the relationship between our two families, if I had the money, I would pay it and save you the trouble. But you know, although I am not in dire straits now, I am not well off. The Northwest Salt Road has severely damaged my vitality."

He already had the confidence to say no to Tang Gang, so naturally he would not do whatever Tang Gang said like before.

Tang Gang was blocked from speaking and was furious. People from the Ministry of Revenue also came with him, so he didn't dare to have a quarrel with Xin Kuan in front of outsiders and could only swallow his anger.

At this time, Tang Mo was also talking about this matter with Xin An. He had learned more details than Tang Gang and knew how cunning the salt merchants were. His father-in-law looked like an honest man, but in fact he was an old fox.

Xin An let out a long breath, feeling the river breeze, and looked sideways at Tang Mo. "It's extremely difficult to get those people to pay. It's not that I can get them to give up just because I'm a high-ranking official. I can only find another way. If I only rely on my father, he will most likely not be able to pay."
