Chapter 500 Testing Tang Gang's Attitude
Wang thought that Tang Gang owed her and her son. She was sincere to him and Tang Rong back then, but in the end, no one said anything good about her. Any guilt would fall on her, not to mention Tang Mo.
Not being able to pay back debts?
"Other mothers can't help. You two should discuss and formulate a set of rules. When you need your mother to help, just tell her directly. The three of us, mother and son, will join hands to overcome this thorny road."
Tang Mo stood up and bowed, "I am unworthy of being a son. Not only can I not make my mother healthy and worry-free, but I also let my mother go into danger with me."
"Stop talking."
Wang said, "You and I are mother and son. We share the same honor and destiny. There is no need to say these things."
Wang was very pleased. Although she did not marry a good man in her life, she had a good son and daughter-in-law, which was enough.
Tang Gang came back and changed his clothes. Seeing the beautiful sunset, he walked into the garden. From a distance he saw Wang's mother and her two sons sitting together and laughing. They were so happy and harmonious that he couldn't help but want to go over.
After taking two steps, Chun Yang came out from nowhere, knelt down and saluted, "My Lord."
Her voice was loud enough for Tang Mo and the other two to hear. The three looked over in the direction of the voice and stood up at the same time. Tang Gang walked towards them with his hands behind his back, "What are you talking about?"
Wang said that she and Xin An went to Tang Yong's house today and talked about how pretty Shuang'e's baby was and how nice her name was. "We were just talking about the name. The name is very important. We need to think about what name to give it."
"Have you ever thought about it, Lord?"
Tang Gang would never think of this. Chunlang's full name is Tang Hui, and Nuer's name is Tang Bi. From the names, you can tell whether it is a legitimate child or a illegitimate child. One is brilliant and the other is supportive. When Tang Mo's child is born, he will be named after Nuer. "The character Yi is good, which means 'wings', which means wings of a bird. It means upward, respectful and upright."
At first glance, it sounded good. Xin An smiled but said nothing. Tang Mo smiled and said that the name sounded good. "This word also means to assist. It's a good word."
Tang Gang did not continue the topic and asked about Tang Mo's recent assignment. He learned that several children from aristocratic families had entered Tang Mo's employ, which was different from his initial expectation.
The Beiya Army assignment was originally planned for Tang Rong. As long as he stayed in this position steadily for two to three years, he would be able to move up to the next step. After it fell to Tang Mo, he didn't pay much attention to it. Now it seems that Tang Mo has benefited a lot from this position.
First, he gained the appreciation of Liao Zhi, and then he won over a group of young juniors. Now he is even starting to sell the face of the aristocratic family. Even if he is unwilling to admit it, the second brother is really more capable than the eldest brother.
At this moment, as long as he asked Tang Mo, he would tell him, but he cleverly changed the subject and asked abruptly, "Why did I hear that the Tao family did not go to the Ministry of Industry, and it was arranged by the Prince of Nanguang. When did the Tao family get in touch with the Prince of Nanguang?"
Tang Gang also felt suspicious about this matter, especially since Lord Tao had gotten a very good job yesterday. The Prince of Nanguang even praised Lord Tao for his great political reputation when he was in office, and even the Emperor echoed him.
"I don't see any exchanges between the Tao family and the Prince of Nanguang on a daily basis."
Tang Mo also looked confused at this time, "That's strange, if we talk about family background, how could the Tao family possibly catch the eye of the Prince of Nanguang? The Tao family doesn't have anything good to offer, so this relationship is really inexplicable.
Tang Gang raised his eyes, "You walked outside all day, and didn't notice anything?"
“It’s just strange that I didn’t notice it.”
Tang Mo spread his hands and said, "If the people below hadn't mentioned this matter when gossiping, I wouldn't have known about it. Every family has its own ways. Uncle Tao and my father have a grudge now, so it's normal for him not to know."
He pretended to be uninterested and quickly changed the subject, "There's something going on in the city. I wonder if Father has heard about it?"
"What is it?"
"About the Pingshun Marquis's Mansion."
Tang Mo said that in the past two years, there have always been victims who have come to the capital to look for their relatives. There are also rumors in the city that sometimes women's crying can be heard from the Pingshun Marquis's mansion at night. "The rumors are getting more and more weird. There are all kinds of rumors, but most of them say that the Pingshun Marquis's mansion is haunted."
He had to test Tang Gang's attitude first before making the next arrangements.
“That’s nonsense.”
Tang Gang was not interested in this either, but Tang Mo said, "I heard that there were carriages coming in and out of the Pingshun Marquis's mansion every once in a while. Those carriages drove directly into the mansion, and no one knew who was in the carriages. I also heard some news in the Beiya Army that the Pingshun Marquis has been using beauty to win over court officials in recent years. I wonder if the people in those carriages were beauties kidnapped from all over the place?"
Tang Gang said seriously, "Do your job well and don't ask about other things."
Obviously, Tang Gang knew some inside information.
"Isn't the Pingshun Marquis's Mansion located on the street under your jurisdiction?"
"No, my son is just curious."
"Put away your curiosity."

Tang Gang warned him again, "Don't mind your own business, or you'll get into trouble."
Tang Gang left immediately, leaving Tang Mo standing there. He turned around and told Xin An that the old man would not care unless it involved his own interests. "I think he meant that he would back off even if it involved his own interests."
"I'm afraid we can't count on him. I think, even if it's just to expose the scandal next door, as long as the Prince of Nanguang promises benefits, as long as the benefits are attractive enough, the old man will most likely give in."
Xin An sighed and decided to go to the Xu family.
That night, Tang Gang ordered people to investigate the relationship between the Tao family and the Prince of Nanguang. He didn't know why, but he always had a bad feeling in his heart.
That night, Xin An and Tang Mo talked until late at night. The next morning, Xin An waited for Fang Xiaoxiao to check her pulse before going to Xu's house. She hadn't been out for a few days, so Mrs. Xu was a little surprised to see her suddenly visit. "If you have anything to say, just send someone to tell me. Why do you have to come here in person?"
"I've been staying at home for a while and I'm feeling really uncomfortable. Since the doctor said I can go out for a walk, I can't wait to go out every day. How is my aunt doing these days?"
Xin An sat down with a smile. Knowing that she was pregnant, the people below brought her warm water. After taking a sip of water, she said that her second uncle and his family had arrived in the capital. "It's been a while. If you have any problems with business, you can directly discuss with my second uncle. It's much more convenient."
Captain Xu said that Xin Chang had already sent a gift, and the Xu family's steward had also visited him. "Recently, many of the government's decrees have been favorable to business, and your second uncle came at the right time."
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Xin An said that she had something to say today. "This matter involves a lot of things, and my husband couldn't make up his mind, so he asked me to come here today to tell my aunt."
She glanced at the people serving beside her. Madam Xu understood and motioned for the servants to leave. Xin An then stood up and walked to Madam Xu's side. She bowed slightly and lowered her voice to talk about the Pingshun Marquis's Mansion. She also said, "You know, my husband takes his job very seriously. He was very attentive when he was on duty. After discovering this, he was more cautious. But now he dares not continue to investigate. It's really shocking."
