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

Tang Gang brought back several carriages of things when he returned to the capital. This was witnessed by many people, and everyone could guess with their toes how much benefit he had gained from Huaijiang. These people immediately became unhappy, and on the one hand, they were busy vying for the job of raising funds for charity in other places, on the other hand, they were preparing to step on the Marquis' Mansion.

The already angry Xu family directed their anger at Tao Yiran, the wife of the prince of the Marquisate, saying that she was immoral and seduced an unmarried man for favors even though she was pregnant, which was unreasonable.

When this matter was exposed, another young lady from the Mu family came out and said that she and Tao Yiran were relatives and that she had learned skills like a prostitute.

"It's unheard of that a dignified marquis' mansion wants to get things done by having a pregnant daughter-in-law come out to seduce an unmarried young man. The young lady of the Mu family is not a good person either. A woman often meets with unmarried young men in private and asks them to help her with this and that. The Mu family is really calculating. They want to get promoted instead of taking the right path, and send a daughter-in-law out to take the crooked path!"

The person who said this was Madam Xu, the mother of Mr. Xu. The young lady of the Mu family had repeatedly asked him for help under the name of Tao Yiran. Mr. Xu could only achieve something by using his family connections. Lord Xu soon found out about it and came to a conclusion after some investigation. Mr. Xu was punished with a family punishment and Madam Xu was almost angry to death.

Now that the opportunity has come, shouldn’t we say a few words?

A single stone stirs up a thousand ripples. Soon, Tao Yiran's behavior was mentioned again, and the old lady of the Tao family's background was widely publicized. Those families who suffered heavy losses wished that all the powerful people in the capital were as poor as themselves. They poured out all kinds of rumors, whether true or false, and even said that the son born by Tao Yiran was not Tang Rong's son at all. They also said that Tang Gang was corrupt in Huaijiang and was said to have hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, which was considered to be a sinister intention.

Wang was kind-hearted and told the whole thing to the sick Tang Gang. Tang Gang did not believe it and summoned his adviser. The adviser did not dare to hide the truth and caused Tang Gang, who was already empty inside, to faint on the spot.

Wang once again invited the imperial physician and acted exhausted. Xin An took this opportunity to let Nanfeng arrange people to take action and try to remove the Marquis' Mansion from the spotlight, especially that they and Wang must be completely unaware and still be victims.

But with so many families joining in the effort, Xin An couldn't turn the tide in a short time even if he had money. Tang Mo led his men to arrest many people who had deliberately spread rumors and took them to the government, suing them for falsely accusing Zhao Yao and demanding a thorough investigation and trial.

Tang Gang was too ill to get up, so Tang Mo took care of all the outside affairs. Seeing that he was running around to maintain the reputation of the Marquis' Mansion, some decent people also had some appreciation for him and had a better impression of him.

Xin An also started to go out and walked. When attending the banquet, he tried his best to defend Tang Gang and Tao Yiran, saying, "Even if there are some unpleasantness between my sister-in-law and me, it is also our family affair. I believe in my sister-in-law's personal morality and feel ashamed for those who deliberately framed and threw dirty water on me."

"A woman's reputation is so important. These people actually want to force my sister-in-law to death without any grudges. My little nephew is only half a month old. He hasn't even opened his eyes yet and his identity is being slandered and dirty water thrown on him. These people are so vicious to do this to a baby who is less than a month old just to vent their anger."

"As for those who slandered my father-in-law, they should also produce evidence. My father-in-law did not dare to slack off during the trip to Huaijiang. He felt unwell after only a few days in Huaijiang due to the long journey. Even so, he did not rest. I can't say that he worked very hard, but he didn't dare to be negligent. Just because my father brought back some extra gifts, they insisted that my father-in-law was ungrateful. Isn't that too arbitrary?"

"My Xin family is not that wealthy, but it is not to the point where my father-in-law needs to ask for donations."

She was filled with righteous indignation and took a tough stance. All the whispering people at the banquet stopped talking. Some thought she was stupid for not stepping on Tao Yiran at this time, making it impossible for her to recover. Some thought her behavior was what the women of the rich and powerful should do. It didn't matter how she behaved in normal times, but when faced with major issues, the interests of the entire family must be put first.

Some people even lament the Xin family's wealth. Who dares to say that they are unwilling to engage in corruption because they are too rich?

The couple joined forces, and the rumors in the city gradually changed. Some people said that Tao Yiran's affairs had something to do with other people in the Marquis' Mansion, and that they were not in the capital during those days. Some people said that the second branch of the Marquis' Mansion was really unlucky, and they didn't get any benefits but got involved in a lot of dirty water. The troublemaker was lying in bed, and the unlucky person had to come out to clean up the mess;

Some people even said that the couple from the second branch of the Marquis' Mansion were becoming more and more presentable. In addition, Xin An was the grandson's wife chosen by the old Marquis himself. For a while, many people said that the old Marquis had a unique vision and that the couple from the first branch of the Marquis' Mansion might not be able to support the Mansion.

Liao Zhi helped Tang Mo at the critical moment, and all his deputy commanders came forward to help Tang Mo catch people. As more and more people were caught, more and more truth came out of their mouths. Those who had taken action came to show their goodwill, hoping that Tang Mo would not pursue the matter.

Xin An received these people personally. Wang claimed to be sick and was lying in bed, which made the life of Xin An and his wife even more difficult.

Everyone in the mansion is either sick, in confinement after childbirth, or a guest. When things get tough, only the couple from the second house, who are usually not welcomed, come out to stand up. And they handle it well. Who can say that they are incompetent?

"Your Majesty, you can rest assured. The second son's wife has lost a lot of weight because of this matter. She has spent a lot of favors and money, and finally the matter has been settled."

Wang sat on the edge of Tang Gang's bed again. "I really didn't expect that the eldest daughter-in-law, that useless piece of mud, could still cause trouble with a big belly. I have already asked my eldest sister-in-law, and those rumors outside really didn't wrongly accuse her. The one from the Mu family came to our house frequently, and it was only after my eldest sister-in-law personally went to the Tao family and invited my mother-in-law to suppress it that it was suppressed. It's really beyond words."

Tang Gang's hands were shaking with anger, but Wang Shi didn't seem to notice. "This time, it's all thanks to the second son's wife. She was able to help at the critical moment and did her best to protect the reputation of the Marquis and the dignity of the Marquisate."

Even Wang didn't know that Xin An was secretly behind the whole thing. Although he didn't instigate the incident, it didn't stop her from going with the flow and stepping forward to resolve the matter.

This incident also won her and Tang Mo a lot of goodwill, and successfully made Tang Rong and Tao Yiran's reputation ruined again. Even Tang Rong's newborn son was not spared. For a child whose biological father is suspected from the moment he is born, this incident will become his lifelong shame.

Even the emperor got angry when he found out. If Tang Gang hadn't been ill, he would have definitely reprimanded him. However, he did not forget to praise Tang Mo.

"Thank you, Sister Xu, for helping me with this matter."

Xin An personally went to the Liao family to express his gratitude. After all, without Liao Zhi's help, the matter could not have been resolved so quickly and smoothly.

Mrs. Liao, who was pregnant, smiled and said, "Why should we be so polite? You brought me so many gifts when you came back from Huaijiang. I accepted them and I have to give you gifts in return."
