Chapter 442: Even pretending to be fine without doing anything
Aunt Liu was shrouded in a deep sense of powerlessness. She originally thought that following Tao Yiran to the Marquis'' Mansion should be a good life, but when she entered the door to change her bride, she was surprised, making her turn into the aunt in charge of the prince''s wife. If nothing unexpected happens, she will be the first manager in charge of the house in the future.
Apart from her master, she is the biggest and glorious in the whole mansion.
Unfortunately, such a good start was so good that she was today. It would be fine if she was trapped in the mansion and couldn''t get out. The second young lady next door had managed such a situation. She was still thinking about how to manage and seduce men.
"You said before that you can''t let the Second Young Master''s wife be so smooth. Is it because of this?"
Tao Yiran had already changed her mind, "It would be useless to let her have a glorious life. Isn''t it just that the rumors outside were settled this time?"
“My letter has other places.”
She once planned to poison the princess, but the risk was too great. The key was that rumors spread everywhere, which forced her to suspend the plan.
Xin still has some effect.
Seeing that she was clearly brainless but still had to act scheming, Aunt Liu felt that all her strength was taken away. "The Marquis and the wife were both unhappy. The prince was thousands of miles away. The second young lady controlled the gifts. The second young master handled all kinds of things outside the mansion. If they were allowed to continue like this, they would be afraid that the position of the prince would be shaken."
"Are you really not going to do anything?"
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that she, the wife of the prince''s prince, was undermined, and only she felt that everything was fine.
Tao Yiran''s lips curled gently and smiled indifferently, "My mother-in-law is not her mother-in-law, and her grandmother is also biased towards the next door. My father doesn''t care about the backyard. Even if I go to fight, I have no chance of winning. Since that''s the case, why bother with it?"
"Before the prince left, he told me that his father would not let someone replace him, nor did he dare to succeed the Marquis."
Although she didn''t know why Tang Rong was so sure, he must have looked at his father''s hand that he had.
Think about it, how could this huge marquis mansion be without something shameful? How could Tang Rong not know?
"When the crown prince inherits his title, everything will not be a problem at the moment. No matter how capable the second wife is, she can only rely on the big wife. Since Xin likes to pay money and work hard to manage the Marquis'' Mansion, why don''t she give her a chance?"
"She is suitable for her if she has money."
It’s okay to hear this, but is it really that simple?
The dignified prince of the Marquis''s family went to work in a remote village thousands of miles away in less than a year after getting married. To put it nicely, he said that he couldn''t make it to the capital, so he went outside to hide for two years.
Aunt Liu was powerless and helpless, so she could only follow her wherever she went.
The matter between Chunhua Courtyard cannot escape Wang''s eyes. When it comes to controlling the courtyard, Tao Yiran''s ability is very average.
Wang looked disdainful when he heard what Tao Yiran said, and once again felt glad that his son did not marry her. As for other things, "Follow the people in Chunhuayuan to report it immediately whenever there is any movement."
Xin''an also had eyes in Chunhuayuan. After hearing Nanfeng''s words, he asked her to stare at Tao Yiran''s letter to see what she wanted to do and who else outside the mansion deserves her contact.
It was early this morning, Tang Mo went to Cihang Temple to pick up the old lady. He was going to go early in the morning, but he delayed for some time because of the rumors in the city.
The old lady of the Zhang family often comes to miss her grandson. She is amused and crying when she learns that her grandson is not used to living at home. Now she has time to come to spend food with her grandson. The relationship between the grandparents and grandchildren is increasing day by day. I believe that Zhang Yanrui will follow her back to the Zhang family soon. “Is Mrs. Zhang here again today?”
Today, Mrs. Xu came to the door again and did not send a message in advance. She told Xin An that she had just visited the second prince''s concubine and went directly to the Hou''s Mansion after leaving the second prince''s mansion.
"Grandma of the Zhang family will come the next day. Now the relationship between the grandparents and grandchildren is getting better and better. If the young master hadn''t recognized the bed, he would have returned to the Zhang family early in the morning."
Mrs. Xu said, "Fortunately, I am lucky to meet the young master of the Xin family, and you are also very lucky."
"It is indeed the fate of the Xin family to meet the young master."
This was said last time when Mrs. Xu came. Today, she was just a topic to talk about it. Xin An led Mrs. Xu into the main hall and sat down for tea. "Does Aunt have any instructions for coming today?"
"I have no choice but to ask you something."
Mrs. Xu came for charity fundraising. Tang Gang and his son brought back seven or eight million taels of silver from Huaijiang. If Tang Gang did not take any benefits in the middle, no one believed it. Those who spread rumors that Tang Gang received million taels really thought he was greedy for so much.
Those people were jealous, and the second prince was naturally jealous. With the help of the Xu family, he was not short of money, but he was not short of himself and could not make his opponent develop. You should know that the prince also put on a stance to win.
"I know everything my aunt wants to know."
Xin An told her the general situation, and at the same time explained the role played by the Yao family and the Xin family. "I don''t know anything else. The merchants in Huaijiang have always been generous in making charitable donations, especially the salt merchants have a lot of exchanges with the imperial officials, so they are naturally more willing to donate generously."
"In my foolish opinion, we still have to find a local chamber of commerce. To put it bluntly, the so-called strong dragons do not suppress local snakes. One place has its own way of doing things."
Tang Gang was able to succeed in Huaijiang because of the Xin family and Tang Mo''s efforts. With the full cooperation of the Yao family, if they change someone, there may not be such a result.
This is what Mrs. Xu wants to know. "People in the court thought it was a fat man, but they never thought about the difficulty of this matter. It would be so easy to raise charity funds when the people were willing to do so."
"If you come to see, why would those merchants generously donate money in the case of the last plaque and book writing? "
"Xin An thought, if the emperor was willing to accept the harem and give the girls from the presidents of the chamber of commerce a chance, the amount of money they wanted was as much as they wanted, and if they wanted money, they had to pay. As long as the money was given in place, it would be impossible to buy the emperor''s body.
But she would not say this idea, but just shook her head, "I was taught by my father. The money of the Xin family comes from the gifts of our ancestors and the court. If the family and country need it, we must do our best."
