Chapter 68: I'm Coveting My Brother's Sister

Tang Mo liked Ershan very much and said that he liked the strength in Ershan. For this reason, he asked Ershan to learn martial arts from the guards in the mansion. Ershan learned very hard, but he didn't know whether he would disappoint Tang Mo's expectations in the end.

"Young Madam, Madam is back. Please come over."

The maid came to pass on the message. Xin An stood up and led the people out of the door before she ran into Tang Rong. Before her uncle could say anything, Tang Rong spoke first, "Sister-in-law wants to go see mother?"

"Big brother too?"

Tang Rong nodded, "I heard that my mother is back, and I want to go and talk to her."

"Why didn't you go with your sister-in-law? Is she feeling better now?"

"I'm much better now. I can go and pay my respects to my mother tomorrow."

Xin An smiled. Tao Yiran had been claiming to be sick and not going to pay his respects for several days since he entered the house. This kind of thing would be criticized no matter where he was. Tang Rong was at a rising stage and attached great importance to his reputation outside. How could he allow Tao Yiran to stay at the gate of Chunhua Courtyard?

It seems that today's quarrel was about this matter.

"Did your sister-in-law go to deliver food to your second brother today?"

Tang Rong wanted to say a few more words to Xin An. In his eyes, Xin An was originally going to marry him, and from what he knew, Xin An was very fond of him before she got married. At this moment, he had a strange thought in his heart. A person's happiness could not just disappear. Maybe Xin An still had him in her heart, but she had no choice but to accept Tang Mo because things were already a foregone conclusion.

Especially since she and Tang Mo still sleep in separate rooms, it proves that Xin An still has him in her heart.

He felt inexplicably happy in his heart and wanted to tease Xin An. This would not only disgust Tang Mo, but might also make Xin An's heart lean towards him more.

He wanted the Tao family's help in officialdom, and he also wanted the Xin family's money.

"It's normal for my second brother to feel uncomfortable on his first day at the Northern Army. He was used to being free in the mansion before, so he needs some time to adapt to being confined in one place."

Xin An sighed, "It was because I didn't understand the situation clearly. I thought the Beiya Army didn't provide food, and I almost made a fool of myself."

Tang Rong stopped and looked worried, "Did your second brother blame you?"

Goosebumps quickly appeared on Xin An's skin. He clenched his fists tightly. He felt that Tang Rong's expression at the moment was very annoying. He gritted his teeth and swallowed his anger, forcing a smile, "I didn't give him a chance to blame me. I came back quickly when I saw that the situation was not right."

Tang Rong looked relieved but still worried. "On the day of our wedding... I was ultimately sorry to you. I don't know how I can make up for this debt. If you encounter difficulties in the future, come to me. As long as I can help, I will not refuse."

Xin An thinks Tang Rong is sick and likes to covet his brother's sister-in-law. It was Tao Yiran before, is it her turn now?

Do you feel that you are not bad again?

She did not answer, fearing that what she said would damage her image. She just smiled slightly, but Tang Rong thought she agreed, and he was in an especially good mood for a moment.

Wang was a little surprised to see the two of them, so Xin An explained first, "I ran into my eldest brother when I went out this morning. He said he wanted to talk to mother. I ran into him again when I went out just now. It seems that what my eldest brother said is something important. Should I avoid him?"

Wang understood. After thinking about it for many days, she decided to make up for it and put on a show.

"We are all family, not outsiders, just sit down."

Xin An sat aside. Tang Rong lifted his robe and knelt down towards Wang. "Father hurt my second brother's heart in order to protect me. I was also very upset. I did something stupid in a hurry. I regretted it when I went back. I came here to apologize to my mother."

"Mother, my second brother is my biological brother. I hope everything goes well for him and I have no intention of competing with him. We are the only two brothers in this mansion. We should support each other and move forward and backward together. When I have established a firm foothold in the Ministry of Rites, I will definitely make plans for my second brother and give him a better future."

Wang asked him to stand up. "Mother knows that you are a filial son. Mother was also angry at that time. Your father's affairs have nothing to do with you. You grew up under mother's care. We are not biological mother and son, but we are better than biological mother and son. How could mother be angry with her son?"

Tang Rong stood up and said, "My mother is kind and understanding. It is a blessing for her son to be cared for by her."

"Yiran is feeling much better now. She always complained that I wasn't filial enough because I didn't come to pay my respects to my mother. Today, I said I will come to pay my respects to my mother tomorrow."

Wang said, "Mother knows that she is weak. I heard that she was like this when she was at her mother's home. How can mother blame her? Tell her not to worry about paying respects, take care of herself, and give birth to a child for you soon. This is the greatest filial piety to mother."

Tao Yiran didn't want to come and greet her, and she didn't want to see her yet, so it would be best if she didn't show up.

"Xueyu is being taken care of. A doctor will come to check her pulse every half a month. The baby in her belly is your blood after all. You should send someone to send her some things occasionally so that she can have some thoughts."

If Wang hadn't mentioned it, Tang Rong would have almost forgotten about it. He quickly bowed and said, "Thank you for your reminder, mother. I will do it."

"Ah."

Wang warned, "Don't let your wife know about this. She is not in good health and should not worry about it."

Tang Rong felt that Wang was overthinking it, because he didn't notice Tao Yiran's suspicion at all. Apart from feeling uncomfortable that day, she was as normal as ever afterwards. He originally wanted to comfort her, but gave up when he saw her attitude.

Having said everything that needed to be said, Tang Rong said goodbye and left. Before leaving, he nodded to Xin An, and his back looked very dashing.

Xin An felt so sick that the tea in his hand didn't smell good anymore. He turned his body slightly and asked, "Mother asked someone to call me here. Is there something wrong?"

Wang wanted to tell her about Liao Zhi, the commander of the Northern Army. "I'm afraid it's not easy to make friends with this person. The Liao family was originally a family of military generals, but the first two generations did not produce any outstanding generals until Liao Zhi's generation."

"Old Master Liao died suddenly two years ago, and Liao Zhi's father also died a month later. Since then, Liao Zhi has been the head of the Liao family. His second uncle and third uncle's families also obey him. The Liao family has many sons, and they have been promoted quickly in the past two years. It is said that Liao Zhi is deeply trusted and relied upon by the emperor."

Xin An frowned, "If that's the case, there's no way my father didn't know the news, so why did he choose to offend him directly?"

How could the emperor's favorite minister be compared to someone like Tang Gang who was protected by his ancestors?

Wang had little chance to know about court affairs on weekdays. Although Xin An had one more life of experience, her previous life was centered around Tang Rong. She would only take the trouble to inquire about what Tang Rong needed. She didn't even leave the mansion on weekdays. In addition, it had been too long, so she really had no memory of the Liao family for a while.

The two mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, who knew almost nothing about the court affairs, looked at each other with wide eyes. Finally, Wang made a conclusion, "The biggest reason is that your father wants to protect his son's reputation. There was talk outside for a while before that Tang Rong was just a show-off. How could your father, who loves his son so much, let his reputation be damaged?"

It's somewhat ironic to call him 'beloved son' all the time.
