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

Unlike the rapidly heating up relationship between Tang Mo and Xin An, the atmosphere in Chunhua Courtyard was not harmonious at the moment. Firstly, Tang Rong locked the two boxes of valuables he had obtained in his study and did not give them to Tao Yiran. He also gave silver to Qing Mo on the spot for him to use to gather information.

In Tao Yiran's eyes, this was a sign of lack of trust in her, and she was inevitably sad.

Second, Aunt Cai was still in prison. Tang Rong quickly learned the whole story. He suppressed his dissatisfaction and asked Tao Yiran the reason. Tao Yiran said that Aunt Cai was vulgar. Tang Rong took a deep breath and said:

"Aunt Cai's voice was a little loud. You just found out today. I asked you about it that day, but you didn't want to take care of the matter and pushed it to Aunt Cai. But today you punished her for no reason and said such words. How do you want the people below to think? How are you going to convince them in the future?"

When he questioned her, Tao Yiran's eyes immediately turned red. "Are you blaming me?"

"I know Aunt Cai is your wet nurse, so I rely on her in everything and leave all matters in the courtyard to her. But after spending more time with her, I found that she has problems. If she is simply rude and ignorant, it would be fine. She also deducts the monthly wages of the people below her. She pretends to obey but secretly disobeys, and she always says that she raised the prince."

"The prince is the prince of the Marquisate, and she is a servant of the Marquisate. How dare she say that she raised the prince? If this gets out, the entire Marquisate will become a joke. I will punish her. As for my words, I said them in a hurry after Aunt Liu yelled at me for my punishment. If you think I did something wrong, I will apologize to Aunt Cai in person."

She sat there with her eyes downcast and tears wiped away, feeling extremely wronged. Aunt Liu stepped forward and told her about all the things Aunt Cai had done, including the withholding of wages from the servants. "All the servants in the courtyard have to give 20% of their wages to Aunt Cai every month, just because she always said arrogantly that she raised the prince and the prince listened to her, and the servants thought it was the prince's intention."

Tang Rong frowned and asked Qing Mo to call a few maids to ask. The maids shrank back and admitted the fact. Tang Rong took a deep breath and felt a little guilty towards Tao Yiran. Aunt Liu led her people out, with a slight smile on her lips. It was worth it that she had been holding Aunt Cai's braids for so long, and it was worth it that she gave advice to the young lady. From tomorrow on, she would be the aunt in charge of Chunhua Courtyard.

Tao Yiran cried for a while, said some soft words, and then worriedly grabbed Tang Rong's hand, "I am not in good health and cannot share your worries. If Aunt Cai is reliable, I would not do this. You can say it so confidently in front of me, which shows that you think so deep down. You think of yourself as your mother, how can I ignore it?"

These words successfully made Tang Rong give up on Aunt Cai. Perhaps he also disliked Aunt Cai's ignorance and vulgarity. If word got out that she was breastfed like this, how could he keep his dignity?

He also realized that Aunt Cai was too careless.

A quarrel that could have broken out was extinguished by Aunt Liu's evidence and Tao Yiran's tears. Aunt Cai, who was still waiting for Tang Rong to rescue her, finally got the news that Rong would be discharged from the house for retirement.

"You always have to keep an eye on things outside. Aunt is the person I trust the most. I don't trust anyone else to handle this matter except Aunt."

Aunt Cai couldn't believe her ears. This meant that they were going to kick her out of the house. "My Lord, but the young lady can't tolerate me?"

Tang Rong shook his head. "Mother is in charge of all matters in the mansion. Chunhua Courtyard didn't have any problems. Don't worry, aunt. Your husband and son are still working in their original positions. You should also ask them to pay more attention to what's happening outside."

"Well, pack up and leave early tomorrow morning."

What else is there that Aunt Cai doesn't understand? It's that Tao Yiran and Aunt Liu can't tolerate her, and the prince wants to drive her away after believing their slander. She has been devoted to the prince all these years, but she didn't expect such a result.

Years of experience in serving Tang Rong told her that kneeling and begging was useless. Tang Rong was easily influenced, so she had to retreat in order to advance. She took a deep breath and said, "Since the prince has made a decision, I will obey it. I will do my best to keep an eye on the things outside, and I will let my son come to the mansion to report if anything happens."

Tang Rong nodded in satisfaction and gave Aunt Cai fifty taels of silver to settle the matter. "Aunt, please try not to let anyone know about our relationship, so as to avoid obstacles in finding out the news."

Aunt Cai calmed down and her mind worked quickly. She understood what Tang Rong meant but she didn't blame him. All her hatred was directed at Tao Yiran.

People can leave temporarily, but they can never leave so easily. She lowered her eyes and shed two tears. "I have been serving the prince since he was born. Sometimes I can't help but have thoughts that I shouldn't have. It's better for me to leave. Although I am reluctant, I know my identity. This day will come."

"There are just two things I would like to ask for your help, Your Highness."

Tang Rong nodded, "You go ahead."

"Xueyu is still at the farm. She is pregnant with the prince's child. I am worried about leaving her alone at the farm. I would like to ask the prince to allow me to go and take care of her from time to time."

Tang Rong's heart moved. Xueyu was born in a poor family. Even if she gave birth to a son, he would be a concubine's eldest son and it would be difficult for him to achieve great things. But Tao Yiran was frail and it was unknown what would happen to her in the future. The issue of offspring was particularly important. He was not completely indifferent to Xueyu's child.

Thinking that she was someone who was on his side, Tang Rong's dissatisfaction with Aunt Cai eased a little, "Aunt is still very thoughtful. In this case, I will ask you to take care of it for me."

In this way, Aunt Cai had someone to rely on again. She was very proud and respectful. "And there is Yingyue. I can see how much the girl loves the prince. She secretly cried several times when the prince was injured. It was only because of the young lady that I dared not visit and serve him often. The young lady is too weak and I am afraid she can't serve the prince well. Besides, I can feel more at ease if the prince has a considerate person around him."

"I dare to ask the prince to give that girl a name."

Tang Rong thought again of Yingyue's attentiveness and consideration when she served him, and thought that since she was just a concubine, Tao Yiran should not say anything. And according to the rules, Tao Yiran should have taken the initiative to mention this matter after entering the house to show her magnanimity. Thinking of this, he felt that Tao Yiran was really incompetent.

In the end, Tang Rong nodded to both proposals. Aunt Cai knelt down and kowtowed, "Now that the prince has someone to serve him, I have nothing to worry about. I hope the prince will take care of himself."

Tang Rong nodded with deep feeling, "Aunt, take care of yourself too."

Tao Yiran was particularly gentle that night, because she saw Tang Rong's preference for her from this incident. Just a few words from her made him give up the wet nurse who had taken care of him since he was a child. Even Aunt Liu said, "The prince really cares about you, but I'm afraid he has some grudges in his heart. Please comfort him."

She knew exactly what comfort meant.
