The two parties were arguing fiercely in the court, and the emperor was not in a good mood. When the court was about to start, someone came up to Tang Gang and wanted to ask for some inside information. Tang Gang shook his head and sighed, "For the Marquis' Mansion, this year is really unlucky, and disasters come unexpectedly."

He walked very slowly on purpose, and the emperor's men arrived before he even walked out of the palace. Tang Gang was far from calm at this moment, and his eyes turned red before he said anything before the emperor. When the emperor asked him questions, he knelt down directly and said that the Marquis' Mansion was in conflict with the Tai Sui this year, and one thing after another made him panic.

"Your Majesty, my eldest daughter-in-law is not a smart person. She was spoiled by Lord Tao and his wife and is naive. She is stupid and has no opinion, but she is not very courageous. What happened on the wedding day makes her rarely leave the courtyard. I can't believe that she has the courage to run to the Crown Princess and ask to go to the invitation banquet of the Second Prince's mansion."

"What's the point? Just to go to Yaoyue Banquet and play the piano for everyone?"

At this point, what else did he not understand? It was Tang Rong's idea that Tao Yiran went to the Invitation Moon Banquet in order to prevent Tang Mo from stealing his limelight. But he was stupid and did not learn his lesson. It was okay to keep Tao Yiran as a concubine in the backyard to entertain people, but how could she take on the responsibility?

Tang Gang just kept talking about his frustration and helplessness, and didn't mention anything else. The emperor looked at him with increasingly complicated eyes. He naturally knew what kind of person Tao Yiran was. After all, it had already been widely spread outside. How many good things could a girl learn growing up with a grandmother like that?

It's a pity that Tang Rong is paired with such a woman.

As for Tang Gang...

The emperor withdrew his gaze. The Marquis' Mansion did not have a strong foundation and Tang Gang was mediocre. He was afraid that he had been kept in the dark about many things. Tao Yiran was not as timid and innocent as he said. Thinking about what had happened in the Marquis' Mansion in the past six months, the emperor felt that Tang Gang was a bit pitiful.

"Get up."

Tang Gang quickly wiped his tears and stood up. The emperor said, "Tell Tang Rong to take good care of his injuries and not to rush to serve. The backyard should be quiet."

"Go back."

Tang Gang respectfully left the imperial study, and after leaving the palace and getting on the carriage back home, he had a complicated expression. He knew that this matter had nothing to do with the Marquis' Mansion anymore, and it was worth being happy that a storm had been resolved. He couldn't help but recall how Tang Mo came to find him in the rain last night.

The hems of his boots were wet from the rain. He said he heard news about Tao Yiran outside again, which involved the Marquis' Mansion, so he hurried back.

After arriving at the study, he began to analyze the situation in a logical manner, and for a moment he thought that the person standing in front of him was his eldest son Tang Rong.

The situation was unfavorable to the Marquis' Mansion, but they had no plan to deal with it. The solutions given by the two counselors were either to offend the Crown Prince or the Second Prince. No matter who they offended, the consequences would be something the Marquis' Mansion could not bear.

Tang Mo's suggestion made him suddenly enlightened. As long as he showed weakness and pretended to know nothing, he would not have to fall out with the Crown Prince or offend the Second Prince, and he could also calm the storm as soon as possible. At that time, he did not believe that this was Tang Mo's idea.

He doubted and questioned, but Tang Mo said that he was confused because of the situation. When something big and irreconcilable happened in the family, it was natural to ask grandmother to step in. Once grandmother knocked on each person's door, everyone would behave themselves.

The important thing is not to prove Tao Yiran’s frivolity, and it must be covered up for the sake of the Marquis’s Mansion’s reputation.

"Lao Zhang, do you think the second child is smart?"

After returning to the Marquis' Mansion, he let out a long breath. Steward Zhang smiled and nodded, "The Second Young Master is naturally intelligent, and has quite the demeanor of the Marquis when he was young. As long as he is cultivated with care, his future achievements will surely be extraordinary."

He grew up with Tang Gang, but he could never figure out Tang Gang's thoughts. He had only two sons, and the elder one inherited the Marquisate, so why couldn't the younger one achieve something?

Do you have to suppress the younger one and not let him develop any abilities, so that he will live a mediocre life?

If that was the case, why did he blame the Second Young Master for being useless?

But he wouldn't say those words.

Tang Gang thought that Tang Mo was indeed different. He was more motivated than before and gradually began to make progress. When his son, whom he was so proud of, encountered difficulties, another son emerged as a rising star. This was a blessing for the Marquis's Mansion.

"That child came to see me in the rain last night. I don't know if he is feeling unwell. When he comes back, let the court doctor take a look at him."

This was the first time he took the initiative to care about Tang Mo. I wonder if Tang Mo should be happy or cry after knowing this?

But the old lady was definitely happy. After receiving Tang Gang's "good news", she immediately asked someone to open the warehouse and send two good things to Qiushiyuan. She also praised Tang Mo again and again. Wang felt proud and her back straightened a lot. She also opened the warehouse and sent two calligraphy and paintings to Qiushiyuan.

She also considerately asked Tang Gang to go to Chunhua Courtyard to see Tang Rong. "The wound has split in two places. The palace doctor has checked it. Fortunately, it is not serious. Aunt Yue has taken good care of him."

"I'm afraid he's still thinking about this matter. My Lord, you should explain it to him so that he won't worry."

Tang Gang went to Chunhua Courtyard as Wang had instructed. Tang Rong controlled his expression as quickly as possible, but when he learned from Tang Gang that the matter had been settled and that it was Tang Mo who came up with the idea, his indifferent expression almost collapsed.

"My son didn't expect his second brother to be so generous. He thought he was always angry with me and was waiting for me to laugh at him."

Tang Gang seemed not to notice the frustration in Tang Rong's heart, but he did not comfort him. Instead, he smiled and said, "That kid is indeed surprising. He has been making great progress these days. With you brothers supporting the Marquis' Mansion together in the future, I can relax a lot."

"I heard your wound split open?"

Tang Rong still spoke gently, "I thought it was fine yesterday, but when I got up today I moved a little too much and it tore open two cuts, but it's not a big problem, father, don't worry."

Even Tang Gang admired his ability to hold back and cultivate his temper. "Since this is the case, there is no need to rush into matters outside. Wait until the Crown Prince and the Second Prince have decided who is better in this matter before returning to the Ministry of Rites."

"There's no need to worry about the Tao family for now."

This morning, Manager Zhang personally went to inform Tang Gang of his plan. This move by the Marquisate can be regarded as safeguarding Tao Yiran's reputation. As long as the Tao family is not stupid, they will know what to do.

As for Tao Yiran's return, Wang asked Manager Zhang to convey a message again, saying that she was raised by the old lady of the Tao family, and now that the old lady was seriously ill, she was allowed to stay in the Tao family to take care of her, fulfilling her filial piety.

Tang Gang and the old lady both agreed with this decision. For the sake of the Marquis's Mansion's reputation, they portrayed Tao Yiran as a wronged woman. However, the Tao family knew the truth best. It was impossible for Tao Yiran to easily set foot in the door of the Marquis' Mansion again.

After telling Tang Rong the decision, he had no objection. He just thought that he had to find time to go to the Tao family. One reason was to put on a show for outsiders to see, and the other was to see the Tao family's attitude and whether they were still useful.

After all, I still can't bear to give up Tao Yiran's beauty and Xiaoyi's gentleness.
