Xin An wanted to make friends with Yan Wenhui and gain a foothold in the circle of noble ladies in the capital.

Yan Wenhui wanted to help Liu Ming befriend Tang Mo, and she thought that although Xin An was a salt merchant's daughter, she was beautiful and had a good temperament, so it would be a good thing to make friends with her.

As a result, the two of them quickly became close and started to stroll around the night market together. Xin An, who originally thought there was nothing good to buy, soon made Tang Mo's hands full of bags. Liu Mingyuan's hands were not idle either. The two of them smiled bitterly at each other, resignedly followed behind and actively paid.

After Yan Wenhui bought two more items, she became curious. Did Liu Mingyuan have some money these days?

"Look at this, sis."

Xin An held up a purse embroidered with green bamboo and said, "It's really beautifully embroidered."

Being interrupted by her, Yan Wenhui stopped thinking and stroked the embroidered surface of the purse. "It's good. Buy it. You can use it yourself or give it to others."

She really wanted to ask Xin An about the inside story of the marriage exchange. After all, everyone has a gossipy heart. Unfortunately, the occasion was not right. "Sister-in-law, will you be free in a few days? I have an appointment with a few good sisters in the boudoir to watch an opera in three days. Do you want to come with us?"

"If it's convenient for you to take me with you, I would like to come. I haven't heard of the opera in Beijing yet." There was no reason for Xin An to refuse. "I don't know many people in Beijing. I am very grateful to you for taking me with you."

Yan Wenhui laughed, "It's settled then. I'll send someone to give you a letter tomorrow so you can go out with a clear conscience."

Xin An smiled and nodded. Yan Wenhui leaned closer and lowered her voice, "Sister-in-law should laugh more. Even a woman like me can lose consciousness when she laughs. Wouldn't Second Brother Tang feel weak in the knees?"

Xin An was stunned for a moment, then smiled even more brightly, but his ears were a little red.

When the bustle of the night market gradually faded, Yan Wenhui was reluctant to leave and was ready to go back. Xin An waved to her and was helped by Tang Mo to get into the car. On the way, Yan Wenhui said, "My brother said before that Tang Mo valued this wife very much. I didn't quite believe it. Today, I know that what he said is true. However, the sister of the Xin family is so beautiful, it is normal for the second brother Tang to like her."

Liu Mingyuan said that Tao Yiran was not bad either, and was a famous talented woman in Beijing. The key was that the Tao family was an official family, which was different after all.

"What do you know?"

Yan Wenhui didn't like Tao Yiran, saying that she was good at pretending. "The color of the clothes she wore was so pale that you couldn't tell the color. It was like mourning clothes. She was afraid that she wouldn't be able to show herself."

Tao Yiran liked to wear plain clothes. At every banquet, she stood out among the group of girls dressed in red and green. She attracted the attention of most of the gentlemen and made many girls angry.

Liu Mingyuan had no idea what the girls were thinking. As a man, he would naturally take a second look at talented girls. What's more, Tao Yiran was not only beautiful but also talented. He was afraid that saying too much would annoy his wife, so he hurriedly coaxed her by saying that his wife was prettier.

Yan Wenhui snorted and asked about his money, "Why do I think you are quite wealthy these days?"

Liu Mingyuan was nervous but smiled. "Second brother Tang paid for his wife. I can't let you pay for it yourself. You will lose face if you do that. I am just gritting my teeth and holding on. If you buy more, I really can't afford it."

Yan Wenhui did not pursue the matter and decided to go back and ask her brother.

At this moment, Tang Mo and Xin An had already returned to the mansion. As soon as they entered the house, Zhang, the steward beside Tang Gang, hurried over and said, "Second Young Master, the Marquis asked you to go see him when you come back."

Tang Mo said "hmm". Seeing that he was going in the wrong direction, Manager Zhang urged him again. Tang Mo said, "It's so dark now. I'm worried about Madam. I'll take her back to Qiushiyuan first before going over there."

If I tell him to go, he has to go immediately?

Not at all!

He reached out to support Xin An, "Be careful with your step, walk slowly."

It looked as if Xin An was almost unable to take care of herself.

Xin An held back his laughter. Suddenly his eyes rolled and he sprained his ankle after a cry of "ouch". "It hurts. I can't walk anymore."

If he hadn't seen the smile on her lips, Tang Mo would have believed it. He wanted to make some sarcastic remarks, but then he thought of Manager Zhang behind him, so he was afraid to speak with concern, "I told you to be careful with your feet, how come you sprained your ankle?"

"Is it serious?"

Xin An's face was full of pain, "I can't walk anymore."

Tang Mo took a deep breath, rolled his eyes, and resigned himself to his fate. He bent down and picked the man up by the waist. After walking a few steps, he gritted his teeth and whispered, "Eat less. Why don't I weigh you to death?"

Xin An couldn't help but smile widely. He felt good not having to walk by himself. "Be nicer. Who knows when my 'sprain' will heal?"

Tang Mo sighed, "I owe you. You used to be like the nun, but now you're pretending to be weak. Are you going crazy?"

You don’t look fat, why are you so heavy?

Xin An still smiled, "That's because you didn't experience it before, so you have to make up for it now, right?"

Tang Mo chuckled twice, "You have not experienced a lot, do you have to make up for it on me?"

"It's possible."

Tang Moren sighed and walked quickly. There was no other way. If he didn't walk faster, he would feel heavier.

After finally getting him into the house, he threw Xin An onto the bed, and then he collapsed on the side, gasping for breath. "You really need to eat less. You're as heavy as Tiedan."

Xin An turned over, laughing happily, took off his shoes and sat cross-legged on the bed, "Why don't you go see your old father?"

"Don't go."

Tang Mo grew braver, "My wife sprained her ankle and is crying in pain. Should I accompany her?"

What good could come from the old man seeing him at this time?

"It must be Second Uncle who came here to question me."

Xin An smiled and said, "You are right, but..."

"Father wants to see you, it would be unreasonable for you not to go, but there are rules about when to go."

Tang Mo suddenly realized something, and then he smiled evilly, "Yes, I am a good son. My father wants to see me, how can I not go?"

Xin An got out of bed and said, "I'll just take a shower and go to bed."

Tang Mo was so envious. She was a new daughter-in-law, and she was liked by her mother-in-law. Her father-in-law didn't dare to say anything to her. She could do whatever she wanted. "Next time, I want to be a woman."

"Okay, then we'll be sisters."

Thinking of the scene of himself putting flowers in his hair in front of the mirror, Tang Mo shuddered and thought it would be better to be a man.

Tang Gang couldn't wait for Tang Mo, so he sent someone to ask, only to find out that Xin An had sprained her ankle. Tang Mo was rubbing medicinal wine on her. He couldn't help feeling dissatisfied, and thinking that it was too late, he simply took a shower and went to bed.

In the middle of the night, when he was sleeping soundly, the inhuman Tang Mo came and shouted at the door, "Father, are you asleep? Your son is here."

"Father, father."

Tang Gang opened his eyes in the dark night. Wang got up and lit a candle. "I'm afraid the second boy has something urgent to do."

Tang Gang opened the door in his clothes, with a strong smell of waking up, "What's the matter?"

Tang Mo bowed and said, "Didn't father ask Manager Zhang to notify his son to come over? My wife sprained her ankle and it's swollen. She missed home and cried a lot. My son was busy giving her medicinal wine and coaxing her. It took a lot of effort to coax her to sleep. So, I hurried over."
