Tang Gang was making his last struggle. He couldn't believe that the son he was once so proud of would not even let go of an unborn child.

"Your Excellency, don't you recognize his handwriting?"

Wang sneered, her eyes revealing sarcasm, "You taught him to write stroke by stroke, no one should know it better than you."

"Look carefully, is it fake? But I, the wicked stepmother, have wronged him?"

Tang Gang sat down on the table, "When did he become like this?"

Wang smiled sarcastically and met Tang Gang's gaze. "It's not surprising that he has such thoughts. My Lord, do you still remember that when I was pregnant with my second child, I almost fell twice. I took advantage of the rain and wet the ground, and poured oil on the ground. If you don't pay attention, you can't see it at all."

"The second son was able to land safely, firstly because he was lucky, and secondly because I was cautious. I found out at that time that it was Tang Rong who did it, but the Marquis didn't believe me and accused me of being narrow-minded and unable to tolerate him. Now that his handwritten letter is here, what excuses are you going to find to exonerate him?"

The anger in his eyes broke through the ice, and Tang Gang slammed the letter on the table. The handwriting in the letter was exactly the same as Tang Rong's, and the choice of words and sentences also conformed to Tang Rong's habits. Even if he wanted to make excuses or lie to himself again, he couldn't do it.

In that instant, Tang Rong's figure collapsed in his heart.

"That evil creature!"

"He can't even tolerate an unborn child. Am I not good enough to him? When did he become so vicious?"

Wang said nothing. "My Lord, you only saw that he just couldn't bear to have a child?"

"This involves the second brother and his wife."

What she actually wanted to say was that this was a tradition passed down from generation to generation, and how much tolerance could he have for Tang Yong?

If the old man had not separated Tang Yong from his family when he was still alive, it is hard to say what his situation would be like now. Even if he can occasionally appear in the Marquis' Mansion now, it is only because Tang Gang has his eyes on his money and probably treats him as a slave in his heart.

She knew it was impossible to make Tang Gang admit his past mistakes, but fortunately she no longer had any feelings for him, so it didn't matter whether he admitted it or not.

"Fortunately, Tao has not had time to take action yet. I don't know whether it is ignorance or fearlessness to keep such a letter."

"Leave these things to the Marquis to deal with."

Ten thousand taels, who knows, it might be a bribe from someone.

After Wang went out, she was unwilling to stay in the same room with Tang Gang. She also thought that Tang Gang had made progress after being stimulated several times in a row, and he didn't get angry enough to go to the court doctor. Could it be that he had been eating too well recently?

It's time to eat a light diet. You can't take too much supplements at your age.

Tang Gang sat at the table, past events rushing into his mind uncontrollably, but those distant memories were particularly clear at this moment. Tang Mo was very cute when he was young, and he loved his father the most. Every time he hugged him, he would smile with his eyes narrowed, and rubbed against his shoulder again and again, like a cat, and he liked it very much.

It was not until he discovered that every time after hugging Tang Mo, Tang Rong would always look at him aggrievedly, secretly wipe away tears, and cry and say that he missed his mother that he slowly stopped hugging Tang Mo.

I don't know when he started to have only him as my son. I became more and more disliked of Tang Mo, believing that he was a calculating child, not as honest as the eldest son. At that time, the eldest son was smart, sensible, and pitiable...

No one knows what Tang Gang is thinking, and probably no one wants to know.

It got dark without him noticing. Tang Gang didn't see Wang. When he asked, he learned that she was alone in the garden admiring the flowers. He had a lot to say, but when he saw Wang, he couldn't open his mouth. He hoped that Wang would take the initiative to come forward and care for him as she did before, so that he could go down the stairs.

But Wang just gave him a few routine instructions and went back to the room, closing the door, without giving him a chance to speak.

Some things are not said when they should be said, and probably there is no need to say them later.

Tang Gang tossed and turned that night, missing the days two years ago. At that time, Tang Rong was by his side, a filial and caring son, and Tang Mo was always in front of him, and Wang was gentle and considerate...

The next morning, Wang went to Qiushiyuan early again to discuss the arrangements for this year's New Year with Xin An. Tang Yu's family had already moved out of the Marquis' Mansion, and with several fewer people, the mansion became much quieter, but there were more things that needed to be purchased.

The Xin family and Tang Yu's family are still in the capital, and they have normal interactions.

Wang said, "Just follow last year's plan. I just thought we should have a good New Year's Day celebration. Although it's not appropriate to have a grand celebration since the Queen Mother just passed away, it's good for the family to get together and have some fun, and get rid of the bad luck in the mansion."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law discussed for a while, and Pingqiu came quickly, saying that someone had come from the palace, "Please ask the Marquis to attend the court tomorrow morning."

Wang and Xin An looked at each other, Tang Rong’s matter was finally settled.

Tang Gang was very busy that day. He took a good bath and trimmed his beard, taking care of himself meticulously.

After discussing with the old lady for a long time, they moved back to the front yard. At this time, Wang had recovered as usual. Before going to court, Tang Gang spoke several times but did not utter a word. He remained silent.

Tang Gang went to court again. Some people were waiting to see the show, some were whispering, and some came forward to greet him, "My Lord, you are in your prime, please take good care of yourself."

"Yes, children and grandchildren have their own blessings, so don't worry too much, my Lord."

After not seeing him for many days, even after taking good care of himself, Tang Gang still looked a little haggard than before, especially his graying temples were particularly eye-catching.

Tang Gang smiled bitterly and said, "I'm sorry to make you all laugh. I'm not a good parent."

"Even the nine sons of a dragon are different from each other. Your Majesty, don't blame yourself."

These people retreated quickly when they encountered trouble, but came back again after the incident. Tang Gang also looked like he didn't care.

After the emperor arrived, everyone returned to their seats and the morning court officially began. When he had almost finished talking about state affairs, the emperor mentioned the case of Tang Rong. After Zhou Zheng stood up and stated the verified evidence, someone stood up to accuse Tang Rong of being confused and incompetent, and said he must not be let off easily.

Especially some imperial censors, they didn't care what the emperor thought, they tried their best to report Tang Rong, and even Tang Gang was not spared.

Seeing that everyone was calling for Tang Rong to be exiled three thousand miles away, the Second Prince stood up slowly and said, "I think Tang Rong's character is really unfit for a marquis's heir. The late Weiyuan Marquis had great military achievements and was a righteous man. If he were still alive, he would never want to see the heir of the marquis's mansion be of such a character."

"I think that Tang Rong should be stripped of his title as the heir of Weiyuan Marquis's mansion, and Tang Mo should be made the heir."

Marquis Chang, Marquis Qing, Marquis Yong, Shuangbo and others all stood up and agreed with the second prince's proposal.

Chang Hou said: "Although Tang Mo was once a playboy, he has changed since he got married. Especially after joining the Beiya Army, he has been conscientious and responsible. As the saying goes, a prodigal son who returns is more valuable than gold. It is really precious."

"I second your opinion. Tang Mo is not only improving himself, but also bringing his former friends with him to the right path. I admire the character of the Second Young Master Tang very much. If he inherits the Weiyuan Marquisate, he will surely continue the glory of the old Marquis."

"What Uncle Yongshuang said is very true..."
