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

Mrs. Mu was very happy with Tao Yiran's indifferent attitude, and she praised him without asking for any money. Tao Yiran was not in the mood.

To Tao Yiran, Master Xu was just the most inconspicuous fish in the fish pond. He was just there to amuse herself and kill time. He lowered his eyes and gently stroked her pregnant belly, waiting for her to give birth to the child and gain a firm foothold in the Marquis' Mansion. From then on, she could have as many fish as she wanted.

As for Tang Rong, it’s best if he doesn’t come back and get in the way.

She could not forget the sight of him covered in filth.

Mrs. Mu left with a smile on her face. She felt that with this cousin, she no longer had to worry about anything. Who knew how many more surprises this cousin could bring her in the future?

Aunt Liu, who was lying in the servant's room, had a numb look on her face. But she was a dog that could never change its nature. Now, not only could she not leave the Marquis' Mansion, she could not go back to the Tao family to report the news, and she could not even leave the door of Chunhua Courtyard. The young lady of the Mu family was very cunning.

The melodious sound of the piano rang out again. Zhao in the front yard sighed again, and finally gritted her teeth and ordered the door to be closed, especially no one from the Mu family was allowed to visit.

When her brother's wife left, she was entrusted with the care of this huge mansion. She couldn't let anyone do something shameful. "Come with me to the Tao family to visit the old lady."

Mrs. Tao was very surprised by Zhao's visit. After visiting the old lady, Zhao talked about Tao Yiran, "My niece-in-law is a rare sensible and well-behaved person. I like her very much."

Li, who was serving on the side, twitched her lips slightly. It was hard for Mrs. Tang to say such a hypocritical thing.

Mrs. Tao forced a smile, "Has the child caused you no trouble recently?"

"Where can trouble come from when we're a family?"

Zhao smiled and said, "She is very filial. She goes to the temple every now and then to pray for the old lady and her group. When she is free, she will go out to banquets with the young lady of the Mu family. Speaking of the young lady of the Mu family, she is also polite and considerate. She knows that her cousin has no one to talk to, so she often comes to pick her up to go out for tea."

"That Madam Mu is quite capable. She made many friends soon after coming to the capital. She is also very kind to my niece-in-law. Look, she personally came to pick her up when she went out for a banquet the day before yesterday, and also personally sent her back. She was accompanied by the son of the Xu family and a son of the Bo family. She also has a wide range of friends."

Mrs. Tao and Mrs. Li understood everything in an instant. The other person's words seemed to be a compliment, but in fact they were scolding him. He came here to complain.

Zhao still had a smile on her face. "I came here today to see the old lady and to invite you to talk to my niece when you are free. Her husband is away, her mother-in-law is not at home, and Aunt Liu has suddenly fallen ill recently. As an aunt, I am a step away from her, so it is not convenient for me to talk to her about some things."

"Pregnant women tend to worry a lot, so they need someone around them at this time. If Madam Tao doesn't mind, you can stay at the mansion for a few more days."

This is to let Mrs. Tao go to Tao Yiran in person to educate her.

Mrs. Tao forced a smile, "Yier really has fallen into a blessed nest. Her mother-in-law is a rare good mother-in-law, and now your aunt is also so kind."

"Yesterday I was telling my wife here that she should work harder on the family matters. I will go to her house in a few days to accompany Yi'er. She is getting pregnant and I am worried."

"I'll go tomorrow, okay?"

Zhao smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

"You are so polite. It's hard for you to come here in person for this matter."

Zhao stood up and said, "I'm sorry to bother you today. I'll go back first. Please stay."

After seeing Zhao off, Madam Tao's face fell. Li said, "There have been rumors these past two days, saying that my sister often goes out despite being pregnant. It's really unpleasant."

"If you ask me, the Mu family's wife is not a good person. She always takes her sister out even though she knows that her period is advanced. If something goes wrong, can she still take responsibility?"

Madam Tao and the old lady of the Tao family had completely torn their faces apart. She was merciless in front of Li, her daughter-in-law. "How many women from the Tao family are good? Seeing that someone like the old lady could marry into an official family and become a respectable old lady in the end, wouldn't she follow suit?"

"I'm afraid you're not ashamed but proud of it. Your sister suffered a loss because she didn't grow up with me. She was taught by that old woman..."

He took a deep breath and warned Li, "I'm telling you, don't let your daughter get close to that old woman and learn some unpresentable tricks."

Ever since she fell out with the old lady, Mrs. Tao has gradually been getting along with her daughter-in-law. At least the two of them have similar perceptions and can tell the difference between good and bad.

Li's life has become much easier, and the Tao family has started to make progress without giving up gambling. Now they just hope that Tao Yiran will stop acting like a demon, be a good wife of the Crown Prince, and not bring disaster to the family.

"For now, let's go to the Marquis' Mansion. We also need to find a way to make Madam Mu calm down. My sister is simple-minded. If she is bewitched by Madam Mu and does something wrong, it will be shame for our Tao family."

Mrs. Tao knew the seriousness of the matter, so she went to the gate of the Marquis' Mansion the next day. Three days later, Aunt Liu recovered from her illness. During this time, Mrs. Mu came to the Marquis' Mansion again. As soon as she entered the door, she was scolded by Mrs. Tao, who told her, "If anything happens to the child in Yiran's belly, I will ask your Mu family for an explanation."

Madam Mu was ashamed, and someone followed Nan Feng who was secretly observing her with just a glance...

Soon it was the day when the Xin family was going to give the betrothal gifts to the Zhou family. The betrothal gifts were so much that people who were watching along the way were talking about it with relish. It was also on this day that Tang Gang received the emperor's decree. The emperor agreed with his proposal and asked him to do as he saw fit and raise the money as soon as possible to send it back.

At the same time, scholars were drawn from the Hanlin Academy to come to Huaijiang to help. The most important thing was that the emperor was willing to give it all for the money.

"Charity banquet?"

Tang Mo was shocked. Is the emperor crazy about money?

"I'm afraid the war has started in the northwest."

Tang Gang said: "This fundraising event only takes place once every ten years, and the emperor wants to make enough money in one go."

He couldn't even imagine how horrific the amount of donations would reach.

The next morning, storytellers were arranged to set up their performances in teahouses across the city, and the government office also drafted a notice and posted it.

"Donations are voluntary. Anyone who forces donations or seeks profit from them will be severely punished..."

"Accept supervision from the people, accept reports, and reward 1,000 taels of silver once the reports are confirmed..."

Those who could read and write read the notice aloud. The people had little interest in donating money. But when they read that a donation of more than 50,000 yuan would be recorded in a book written by a scholar of the Hanlin Academy and his name would be included in the list of philanthropists of the court, the people were shocked.

What kind of place is the Hanlin Academy? The scholars there write books and biographies themselves. What a great honor it is.

Or is it a list of famous philanthropists in the imperial court? It sounds incredible, like a history book, that will go down in history?

The point is...

"The Emperor is going to personally host a banquet at the end of the year to entertain these people?"

"Oh my god..."
