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

Tang Gang finally couldn't resist the temptation of Xin An's proposal. "You are quite bold, and it coincides with my idea."

Xin An didn't mind and tried to save face. "My suggestion is relatively simple. If father thinks it's feasible, he needs to think about it carefully. I can't help with the follow-up."

Tang Gang nodded. He was not going to let Xin An continue to interfere. He said that he would sort out the most appropriate set of regulations within three days and then send them to the emperor as quickly as possible. He also had to be prepared before the emperor's news came back.

At the same time, he privately did not want to give up the investigation of the salt merchants in Huaijiang River. He wanted to find evidence that they had violated the law and take action. Even if he could not use it this time, he could report it to the emperor after returning to the capital.

As he was in the imperial court, he naturally knew how deep the Huai River was, otherwise he would not have pushed Mu De'an to test it. He just didn't expect the water to be so deep. He was afraid that the imperial court's understanding of this place was not thorough.

Xin An kindly reminded, "Father, there have been three heroic acts in Huaijiang: resistance to grain payment, crying in the Confucian Temple, and poisoning the imperial envoy. You have to be careful."

Here, officials, clans and gentry shield each other, and it's like water can't get in half the way. So what even if evidence is found?

Xin An thought that since he had never made a mistake in the court for so many years, he must have a plan in mind, so she got up and left. Xin Kuan and Xin Huan also left with her. The family of three walked slowly in the yard. The more Xin An thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. "Dad, do you think I won't be used?"

Xin Kuan said, "It was a bit rash. Your father-in-law's mind is not too difficult to figure out. He wants to be safe and not take risks, but also wants to get benefits. Don't rush towards him in the future."

"He can think of what you think of, but he is asking for neither merit nor demerit. You have set him up a bit today."

Xin An occasionally had a feeling of powerlessness. The power in her hands was still too small. In terms of power and status, she was not even as good as Tao Yiran. No matter what, Tao Yiran was the wife of the prince of the marquis's mansion. Whatever Tao Yiran did was more natural for her to do than for herself.

As the daughter-in-law of the second son of a marquisate, she had to think twice and proceed step by step before doing anything.

"I think the idea I came up with is pretty good. If it succeeds, everyone will be happy. There will always be some people who get help from my suggestion, and maybe their lives will be changed. If that's the case, I'll have done a good deed."

Xin Kuan told her not to think too much, "Since you have started it, they will handle the rest themselves. It's rare for you to come back, you should relax. Do you want dad to call a troupe back for you?"

Xin An said with a smile: "It's better to go home and listen to the fun in the opera troupe. From tomorrow on, I will only focus on having fun and will not care about other things~"

"Sister, I'll accompany you."

"Let yours go, I can find the way, your sister."

Xin An walked away with a smile on his face, and Kuan put away the smile on his face, "Your sister is also a worrywart."

Xin Huan sighed, "He is not my brother-in-law, nor is he the prince. I have to fight for everything myself. "Fortunately, my sister's wife is a good person. It is worth my consideration for her. Dad, can we inform all the families about this matter?"

Xin Kuan shook his head, seizing every appropriate opportunity to teach Xin Huan the skills to survive in the Huai River.

"You have to remember that the imperial power is not that unattainable. How many emperors have truly controlled the land of Huaijiang? This time the emperor just wants some money, just give it to him. As long as it doesn't affect our foundation, we will give it to him even if we complain about being poor."

"I heard from your brother-in-law that there might be a war in the northwest. In this case, Huaijiang cannot afford to go wrong. Even if we act tough, the imperial court will not pursue the matter."

"The profits of us merchants are obtained through repeated bargaining with the imperial court, not to mention..."

"Besides what?"

Xin Kuan said: "If something goes wrong, there are still officials from Huaijiang and the clans to take the blame."

"What we need to do now is to take him out more often while the Marquis is in the mansion. Even if we are just pretending to be powerful, we still need to bring the tiger along to get back what we have invested."

Xin Huan laughed, "I understand what my father said. I also know that the world is peaceful now, and our emperor is a wise ruler who can control our Huaijiang River."

Imperial power is unattainable only in the hands of a wise ruler who has centralized power. "I only hope that the emperor will live a long and healthy life."

The next morning, Xin An took Wang and the old lady out to watch a play, and said that they would not be back for lunch.

Tang Mo sent a letter to Liao Zhi by express horse, hoping that Liao Zhi could help him get a clear pass in front of the emperor to prevent the old man from taking away all the credit. Then he discussed the rules with Tang Gang, Mu De'an and others to prepare for the opening of the charity hall.

At the same time, Zhao, who was helping to look after the house in the capital, sighed and found Tang Yu, "What should we do about this?"

Ever since Tang Gang and his party left the capital, Tao Yiran changed her previous reclusive nature and started going out frequently. She either went to the temple to pray or to attend banquets. The only thing that stopped her was her Aunt Liu, who was vomiting and having diarrhea every now and then. In just half a month, she looked like a monster and could not get up from her bed.

Yesterday, I went out for a banquet again, and was sent back by Mr. Xu himself. How could a young unmarried man and a beautiful pregnant woman be together? They even supported each other when they crossed the door railing. It was really incomprehensible.

Now that there are rumors outside, Zhao is very panicked.

Tang Yu had no other good ideas, so he could only have someone guard the door more strictly. As he was talking, the Mu family's young lady came again. Upon learning that she had already gone to Tao Yiran's yard, Zhao sighed, "This is not a good idea."

"How is your cousin today?"

The young lady of the Mu family is a frequent visitor to the Marquis' Mansion. She comes every now and then and takes Tao Yiran to various banquets to show off.

"I was a little tired yesterday."

Tao Yiran felt bored after attending too many banquets, mainly because she had lost interest in Mr. Xu. He was always so attentive and attentive, and there was no novelty in him. After looking at his face for a long time, she felt the same.

It can be said that Mr. Xu is on the verge of falling out of favor.

Madam Mu walked forward and supported her with a smile, "I am here today to thank my cousin."

When her husband encountered some problems, he wanted to ask for help from the Marquis' Mansion, but there was no one in charge at the Marquis' Mansion and he couldn't help. So she turned her attention to Mr. Xu. Sure enough, as soon as her cousin opened his mouth, Mr. Xu took care of the matter.

"Thanks to Master Xu for helping me, I don't know how to thank him. My cousin is really capable. We asked for help everywhere but failed, but Master Xu agreed as soon as my cousin asked."

Even with a big belly, she can still charm people. She is indeed worthy of being the one who inherited the old lady's true teachings.

Tao Yiran had heard her say this too many times, and it no longer sounded fresh to her.

Madam Mu tasted the sweetness and said, "Cousin, I have another thing here. Can you help me again? We are really at our wits' end."

Tao Yiran didn't like trouble, and the recent fetal movement made her feel uncomfortable. She just wanted to rest for a while. "If you have anything to say, go find Master Xu. I haven't been feeling well these past two days."

Madam Mu asked carefully, "Can I ask him for help in the name of my cousin?"

Tao Yiran nodded indifferently, "Whatever you want."
