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

"Urgent news has arrived from the capital. War has broken out in the northwest."

Tang Mo, who had a drink at noon and continued drinking at night, was called away by Tang Gang, who gave him the letter he had just received. "General Yuan found that the Northwest Army had already lost its morale after arriving in the Northwest. If he had been given half a year, he might have been able to turn the tide. Unfortunately..."

"Langri sent troops to the border half a month ago, but the Northwest Army was unable to stop them. The soldiers threw away their armor and fled without a fight..."

Tang Mo was half sober at this moment. He read the letter quickly and asked, "When will father leave?"

The Emperor has ordered the national treasury to allocate funds, but spring came too early this year, and the ice in several places thawed too quickly, causing the water level to rise. The old-fashioned construction of dams requires a lot of money, and there is also the need for disaster relief and spring farming, etc. The national treasury is a little stretched to support the war.

Tang Gang took out another letter, which was from an aide in the palace. It said that the Ministry of Revenue claimed that the treasury was empty after only allocating money a few times. However, after so many years of recuperation, they usually claimed that the country was rich and the people were strong, but when it came to spending money, they said that there was no money. The emperor ordered a thorough investigation of the treasury and implicated a bunch of people.

"We didn't borrow money from the national treasury, did we?"

The letter said that in addition to investigating corruption, they were also investigating the powerful families who had borrowed money from the national treasury in recent years. Tang Mo returned the letter to him, and Tang Gang took it and said, "No."

"Your grandfather wouldn't allow it."

Tang Mo breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately you came to Huaijiang. If you were in the capital, I'm afraid the emperor would have arranged for you to come and collect the money. You have enough status and you didn't borrow money, so you are the perfect person."

"If that's the case, I don't know how many people I'll offend."

Then he sighed again, this task would most likely fall to Liao Zhi.

Tang Gang is the best at seeking good fortune and avoiding danger. "I'm afraid it's not a good idea for me to go back to Beijing this time. You go back. I'll stay here to raise more money."

Tang Mo's mouth twitched, his eyes sneered, "You are such a good father. You pushed me out without any hesitation."

Tang Gang glanced at him and said, "You have a low official position and cannot be the head of the Marquis' Mansion. How can you be qualified to collect the debt?"

This was simply a murderous remark. Tang Mo snorted coldly, "But I can help Liao Zhi with this matter. How do you know that the emperor won't ask me to go?"

Tang Gang was speechless, because this was really possible.

But Tang Mo's presence would definitely cause the least damage to the Marquis' Mansion than if he personally took action. "It's settled. You will set off in three days and return to the capital with three million taels."

"You will start preparing tomorrow and make sure the silver is returned safely."

Tang Mo had no choice but to leave. After leaving the house, he took a long time to calm down before smiling again and going to the front yard to drink.

Someone from the clan was very relaxed in Xin'an. After most of the guests had left, they went back to their rooms to rest. At this time, she didn't know that Tang Mo was going back to the capital, and was still thinking about where to go in the next few days.

It was already the next morning when she got the news. Tang Mo was very upset when he talked about this matter. "How could I not know that his choice was right? The capital is in such a mess right now. He will definitely be caught in a vortex once he goes back. In comparison, I should have gone back first."

"But he pushed me forward without any hesitation. At that moment, my heart was chilled."

Xin An didn't expect the situation to change so quickly, so he poured some water to his mouth and said, "Drink some water to calm your anger."

"Don't think too much about it. He has more experience than you anyway. He made the most correct choice at the first opportunity without considering your opinion."

"When faced with big things, how can we care about these things?"

The tea flowed down his throat and into his lungs. Tang Mo sighed. Xin An said, "Father, father, son. Most fathers will maintain their dignity in front of their descendants. They are used to giving orders without explaining. This is why many people have bad relationships with their fathers. When they become fathers themselves, most of them will follow their fathers' path."

“To understand a father is to be a father.”

Tang Mo did not admit it and said that he would definitely be a tolerant father in the future and would never be partial and would be a loving father.

"A loving father and a strict mother often lead to loyalty and filial piety, while a strict father and a loving mother often lead to bad children."

Xin An smiled and patted his shoulder, "Why, I'll be the strict mother?"

Tang Mo's mood inexplicably improved a lot. He happily talked about his ideas on parenting, which made Xin An want to laugh.

The two of them packed up and took the gifts to the front yard to meet their new bride. Xin Huan was in high spirits today, and he carefully supported his wife as he stepped over the threshold, looking like he was content with having a wife.

After the tea, Zhou Yutan respectfully presented her embroidery work. Xin An received a pair of socks and a pair of embroidered handkerchiefs. The lotus embroidery was very exquisite. "My sister-in-law has such excellent embroidery skills."

"I was just killing time at home. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, sister."

Zhou Yutan had all the cautiousness and timidity of a new bride. Xin An tried to make his smile look more friendly and amiable. "We are a family now. Don't be reserved. If this boy dares to bully you in the future, write to the capital and I will scold him in a letter."

"Sister, how could I bully my own wife?"

Xin Huan refused, and Zhou Yutan blushed. After the family talked for a while, Mrs. Xin asked Xing Huan to accompany Zhou Yutan back to rest. "You were exhausted yesterday. I'm afraid you didn't rest well at night. Sleep a little longer."

Zhou Yutan's ears were so red that they seemed to bleed. Xin Huan laughed so foolishly, and then carefully helped his wife back.

"Why are you leaving so soon?"

Mrs. Xin was reluctant to let her son-in-law go after learning that he was leaving. "Can't he stay for another half a month?"

Xin An told her that something happened in Beijing, "He has to go back, but I can stay a few more days."

Madam Xin sighed for a long time, and finally asked her to go back as well, "Since there is something going on, you should go back and take care of the trivial matters for him after his death, so that he can work without distractions. How can he do it alone?"

Xin An held her arm and said, "I told him, but he refused. He said that it was rare for me to come back, and I didn't know when I would come back next time, so he asked me to stay and spend more time with you and dad."

"There is my eldest aunt who takes care of everything in the mansion, and there are people serving in the courtyard. If he is really busy, he will definitely go out early and come back late, so he won't need me so much."

Mrs. Xin said that husband and wife should work together on all matters, big or small. "Even if you can't help him, as long as you are there, he will feel at ease."

Xin An smiled helplessly and said, "Mom, please don't chase me away. I still have a long time to help him, but how long can I accompany my parents?"

"Mom, do you not want your daughter anymore now that you have a wife?"

"You kid."

Madam Xin raised her hand high and gently hit her, "Your father and I are not old, and we can still go to the capital to see you. You can also come back in the future, and we will have many opportunities to meet."

Xin An smiled and said nothing, just leaning on her shoulder. Some things are easy to say, not to mention that the capital is thousands of miles away from the Huaijiang River. Even if they are in the same city, how many married girls can go back to their parents' home at will?

In the future she will have children, will have more trivial matters to deal with, and will have countless reasons to hold her back.

Gradually, their parents’ age will no longer be enough to support them in long journeys.

"I don't care, let him go back by himself, no one can drive me away."
