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

Xin An's words made Tao Yiran's eyes go dark and she almost fainted, but she couldn't say a word in reply. Xin An's smile became more and more charming. She felt extremely aggrieved when she heard these words. Her husband was taken away by her brother's wife, and she was accused by her brother's wife of being stingy and intolerant. The most hateful thing was that she was obviously the one who was wronged, but in the end, as long as Tao Yiran shed two tears, Tang Rong would definitely come to give her a cold look and say that she was narrow-minded.

Tang Mo advised her not to always think about the past and to look forward. In fact, Tang Mo treated her well, and she should consider Tang Mo's thoughts and Tang Mo's reputation, so she decided not to care about Tang Rong anymore. But some things really can't be let go just by saying so. Tao Yiran deserves to feel some of the frustration.

Aunt Liu supported Tao Yiran, wanting to say something but stopping herself. Tao Yiran's maid glared at Xin An fiercely. Chunyang and Chunlu responded with the same look. Chunyang even rolled up her sleeves, as if she would attack anyone who dared to make trouble.

Fortunately, Xin An didn't want to beat Tao Yiran to death with one stick. He thought that things should be smooth sailing. "I heard that Chunhua Courtyard has a new concubine Yue, and my sister-in-law has a sister from now on. I haven't congratulated you yet. You will be blessed in the future, and someone will share your worries."

"Mother has something else for me to do, so I'll go ahead. Sister-in-law... feel free to do as you please."

After she left, Tao Yiran immediately leaned on Aunt Liu. Aunt Liu hurriedly advised, "Young Madam, don't take it to heart. We servants have seen how much the prince loves you. It's not fake at all. The Second Young Madam did it on purpose. She just wanted to provoke you to do something out of line."

The maids were also busy persuading her, trying to prove how sincere Tang Rong was to her, saying that Xin An was just bluffing and was a paper tiger not to be feared. Only then did Tao Yiran feel better, but even so, she still lay down for half a day after returning.

On the other hand, Xin An, after dealing with the two matters assigned by Wang, went back to count her dowry, took out everything that could be given away and placed it in a separate place.

That night, Tang Mo did not come back for dinner. He asked Ershan to come back and said that he had gone to the martial arts hall to ask Master Wu to teach him kung fu.

Tao Yiran wanted to have a good cry in front of Tang Rong, but there were too many things going on in the Ministry of Rites recently, Tang Rong didn't come back, and even Tang Gang was drinking outside. With no one to support her, she could only rest in frustration.

The Shuihua Banquet arrived in a blink of an eye. Xin An woke up earlier than usual this morning. She was so busy washing and dressing that she didn't even go to watch Tang Mo practice. By the time she was dressed, it was already dawn. Not only was she dressed gorgeously today, but she also didn't do a single sloppy job on her makeup. Looking at her gorgeous appearance in the mirror, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, "Let's go."

Today I will go to pay my respects to the old lady as usual, and then go together.

Chunyang and Nanfeng have brought everything they need to go out. Not only did they bring two sets of clothes, but they also carefully selected cosmetics and jewelry to ensure that no matter which set they wore, Xin An would look radiant.

In order to avoid meeting her alone, Tao Yiran arrived at the old lady's yard before her. She was dressed carefully today. Her tea-white and sky-blue clothes gave her a very refreshing feeling. There were hundreds of jade hairpins in her hair, one of which was a white jade lotus with tiny fluorescent tassels. She was elegant and refined. In terms of appearance, she was naturally superior, but she looked so cold and refined with a little fragility, which made people want to protect her more.

"Sister-in-law's outfit today is really good, very elegant."

The wife of the Crown Prince of the Marquis's Mansion is not dignified and virtuous, but rather pitiful. It's very interesting.

Tao Yiran turned her head and saw that Xin An's dress was mainly made of rouge red and crab shell green. The overall look was bright and fresh, yet festive. Her hairpin was also mainly inlaid with flowers and colored beads, with a butterfly-like pattern, a white jade receptacle, green jade leaves, and inlaid with gems and pearls, which was luxurious and bright.

"This outfit of my sister-in-law is quite festive."

Banquets have always been her home turf, and she doesn’t believe that Xin An won’t embarrass herself today.

Xin An smiled back, and the two of them stood together, one quiet and gentle, the other passionate and bright, both of them complemented today's Shuihua Banquet, and the old lady was very satisfied. Wang saw the clue but did not say anything, and praised both of them.

In the hot summer, people who attend the banquet will go there early and wait until the sun rises high in the sky. Only then will they go to watch the lotus flowers scorching in the sun. By then, most of the guests have already gone to the Qingyou Palace to enjoy the coolness.

Just after two incense sticks of time since the carriage left the Marquis' Mansion, it began to have difficulty moving forward. Countless carriages gathered in the direction of the Duke of Enguo's Mansion, and there was a lot of traffic.

Xin An lifted the curtain of the carriage and saw the long line of carriages and horses moving slowly forward in front of him. He was slightly shocked. Even if it happened again, he would still be surprised at the tremendous power of the Duke of Enguo's Mansion. Looking around the capital, apart from the royal family, there is probably no other family with such a flourishing scene.

Unfortunately, everything that goes up must come down. The Queen Mother is already old, and when the Second Prince ascends the throne in a few years, such a scene will never be seen again.

After lowering the curtain, she was stunned for a moment, thinking that if she were the mistress of the Duke of Enguo's Mansion, she could live such a glorious life every year while she was alive, and her children would all be successful. She guaranteed that she would not have any resentment after her death and would be reborn honestly. This life alone would be worth ten lives of others.

The road was congested, but fortunately the people in the Duke of En's Mansion were experienced, and it only took an incense stick of time for the carriage from the Marquis' Mansion to arrive in front of the Duke of En's Mansion. The steward of the Duke's Mansion came forward to check the invitation, and then a maid came to lead the way and brought the people in.

Shuihuayuan, as the name suggests, is the lotus garden of the Duke's Mansion. Looking out, there is a lotus pond of more than two acres, with green lotus leaves and gorgeous lotus flowers. Grass carps slide under the leaves and mandarin ducks play in the water in pairs. There are pavilions and waterside terraces by the pond, as well as rockery. Groups of ladies and girls are talking or painting in them, and their laughter spreads along with the green pond, adding a touch of liveliness to the quietness.

The situation was exactly as expected. As soon as they entered Shuihua Garden, they were met with many stares. Some people had strong interest in their eyes, some whispered, and some pretended to be disdainful.

The old lady walked in front with a smile on her face, Wang supported her and walked beside her, Tao Yiran and Xin An walked side by side in the back. Facing the stares of the crowd, the old lady's expression remained unchanged, Wang also had a smile on her lips, and Xin An allowed people to stare at her openly as if nothing had happened. After all, she had experience. Tao Yiran forced a smile and lowered her voice to say to Xin An, "You don't need to be too nervous, but today all the people who came here are dignitaries in the capital, and we can't afford to offend them easily. I hope you will be careful with your words and actions."

"Thank you for the reminder, sister-in-law."

Xin An smiled, "Today I will listen to my grandmother and mother in everything. I heard that last year, my sister-in-law's song "Liu Guang" at the Shuihua Banquet attracted countless people's praise. Without my sister-in-law's piano this year, the Shuihua Banquet will lose a lot of its luster."

There are many noble ladies in the capital, and Tao Yiran must be in the top three when it comes to her outstanding piano skills. Every time she displays her talent, she attracts countless flattery. Now that she is married and can no longer play the piano in public, she must be feeling very regretful.

"Sister-in-law, outstanding piano skills require hard work to hone. It is a pity to put them aside just because you get married. But it is also a pleasure to listen to other girls playing the piano."
