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

"Is it dangerous?"

Hearing that Tang Mo was going out again, Xin An, who was leaning on the soft couch, sat up straight, "Your wound from last time hasn't healed completely yet."

Tang Mo smiled and sat beside her. "What kind of danger can there be? Liao Zhi's personal soldiers are all capable. There are only a thousand of them, but it is these thousand people that allow Liao Zhi to repeatedly make meritorious deeds. I have long wanted to meet them."

"Give me some silver. It will be useful when the time comes."

Xin An was helpless. It was useless to worry. He couldn't stop him from traveling. He could only prepare some useful things for him to take with him, especially medicine for his injuries. "I have something to tell you."

Fang Da came this afternoon and brought 20,000 taels of silver notes that her father sent to the capital. This time the silver notes were prepared for Tang Gang, to be used for the year-end favor exchanges in the Marquis' Mansion. This amount of silver is also given every year.

"This year my father handed me this silver note and let us decide for ourselves."

Tang Mo opened the box Xin An mentioned, looked at the thick stack of banknotes inside and asked curiously, "How much silver does my father-in-law have?"

Since their wedding, they have given more than 100,000 taels as gifts, and spent 500,000 taels as a nesting fee. How can they be so rich?

"You don't have to worry about this."

Xin An sat up, lifted the thin blanket from his legs, and covered it again because he felt cold. "After years of accumulation, I still have this little money."

Tang Mo loosened the lid of the box, and after a brief thought, he opened it again, counted out 10,000 taels of silver and gave it to Xin An, "I can't not give it to him, he's bound to cause trouble, there's no need to give more."

"I will go and talk about this myself."

Xin An had no objection. She was naturally unwilling to spend money on Tang Gang, but everything had to be done step by step. The interpersonal relationships during the New Year holidays were related to the Marquis' Mansion. Tang Gang could not be too poor, nor too rich, otherwise he would have other ideas.

Before Tang Mo could figure out when to tell Nan Feng, he came and said, "My Lord, please go to the study."

Tang Mo sneered, "The old man has become addicted to seeing me lately. He has to send someone to invite me back if he doesn't see me for a day."

Nan Feng lowered his head and chuckled. Xin An said with a smile, "Stop talking nonsense. Take it easy. Don't get angry and cause any harm."

"understood."

Tang Mo stood up and took the box containing the banknotes, and said, "I'll be back soon. Let's have a hot pot tonight. It's snowing again."

The charcoal fire in the study of the Marquis' Mansion was burning brightly. Tang Gang, who had changed into casual clothes, had a gloomy face again. He actually needed to learn about the Xin family from other people. His mind was full of Xin Kuan's betrayal of him.

When Tang Mo walked in, he was startled by him. "What's going on?"

He sat down and poured himself some tea. Tang Gang ignored his rudeness and asked, "The Xin family has started selling candy?"

“It’s already been on sale.”

Tang Mo looked at the teacup in his hand, his lips curled up slightly, and he quickly guessed why he was angry again, "Salt merchants are not limited to selling salt, they can do any business to make money, when did father start to care about this?"

"If you are talking about serious matters, stop being so careless."

Tang Gang looked dissatisfied, "What's going on with the Northwest Salt Road?"

Tang Mo put down the teacup and said, "I'll have to ask you, father."

Tang Gang was confused, so Tang Mo kindly explained, "Father-in-law once asked you to help with the Northwest Salt Road, but you were unwilling. Do you remember this?"

Of course Tang Gang remembered this matter. It was not that he was unwilling to help, but after inquiring, he felt that this matter was not easy. If he took action, other people would have to be involved. He was concerned about the reputation of the Marquis' Mansion and was afraid of arousing the suspicion of the Emperor. He also felt that even without the salt from the Northwest, it would not hinder the Xin family from making money, so he did not intervene in the matter.

Tang Mo said bluntly, "Father must have thought that even if my father-in-law couldn't trade in the salt of the northwest, he could still make a lot of money. Even if he didn't make any money, it wouldn't affect the tribute to the Marquis' Mansion every year, so he didn't care whether he lived or died."

"Yes and no?"

Tang Gang raised his eyes, his eyes were sharp, Tang Mo did not indulge him, "If my father did not care, he would not know that my father-in-law was hit hard by his peers because of this, and he has been losing money for two consecutive years."

"I don't understand at this point."

Tang Mo was really curious. "Everyone knows that our Hou Mansion is behind the Xin family. He was bullied because of the Hou Mansion's incompetence. How could father tolerate this?"

Tang Gang said in a deep voice, "He sent a message to the Northwest Salt Commissioner, but he never mentioned it again after I wrote him a reply. How did I know that he was bullied?"

"It means they don't tell you because they think you are unreliable."

Tang Mo said with a murderous look in his eyes, "I can't rely on the Marquis' Mansion, and I'm having a hard time. If someone can help my father-in-law at this time, will he agree?"

"As a merchant, as long as he makes money and is protected, it doesn't matter who he gives his money to. It doesn't have to be the Marquis' Mansion. You have to know that there are more than one or two families who are targeting my father-in-law. Officials of lower ranks dare not touch him, but what can he do when he meets the Xu family?"

"The Marquis' Mansion is like distant water that cannot quench immediate thirst. It's not surprising that the Xu family succeeded this time."

Tang Gang remained silent. Tang Mo slowly crossed his legs. "Father-in-law always has a choice. He just didn't make it because of his grandfather's feelings. Why do you and big brother think that he will hang himself on this tree in the Marquis' Mansion?"

That look clearly showed how stupid and naive you are.

Unfortunately, Tang Gang didn't see it. Perhaps his words were too naked and realistic. He didn't refute it for a while, and of course he wouldn't admit that he had a problem. "Does your wife know these things too?"

"How could you not know?"

Tang Mo immediately created an image for Xin An of a weak woman who endured humiliation and wanted to seek an opportunity for her family. "She thought her father would help the Xin family. She was even prepared to ask her father for help, but her father didn't like her. So many things happened as soon as she entered the mansion. What do you want her to do?"

“You don’t know how difficult it is for her.”

In order to get the ten thousand taels out of her, Tang Mo started to talk nonsense again, "The day you threw the teacup at her, she had just received a letter from her father-in-law, and also received a twenty thousand tael note from him, saying that it was for her father to use at the end of the year. But before she could take it out, the teacup you threw at her scared her silly."

"You broke his heart."

Tang Gang suddenly realized, and he wondered why he hadn't received the silver note from Xin Kuan until now, and he thought he was really going to rebel. It turned out that when it was delivered, it was smashed away by a teacup.

wrong.

He raised his eyes suddenly, "So she embezzled the 20,000 taels of silver?"

"That's not true."

Tang Mo showed his eight teeth, smiling like he deserved a beating, "I'll take the silver, otherwise, father, why do you think I've been doing so well recently?"

"It's free to eat and drink with friends."

"My father doesn't do anything for me, and my mother doesn't have much money to support me, so I can only find a way on my own. I have to say, it feels so good to use money to pave the way."

"You bastard!!!"

Tang Gang already regretted the matter with the Xin family, and seeing Tang Mo's devilish attitude, he suddenly felt angry, "Your father-in-law intercepted 30,000 taels for you before, and you secretly intercepted 20,000 taels. Who gave you such courage?"

Tang Mo nimbly dodged the teacup he threw at him, "If my father wasn't so partial to me, would I be able to do such a thing?"

"Am I doing this just for myself? Isn't it for the Marquis' Mansion and to bring honor to my father? If I end up being a loser, my father will also be embarrassed."

"How much does Big Brother spend in a year, and how much do I spend?"

"I withheld the silver for you, my father."
