Chapter 501 This couple has a big appetite
Xin An's words were reserved, with the main point being to cover up the couple's true purpose. Although he did not say everything he knew, it was enough to shock Mrs. Xu.
"Has this been verified?"
Xin An said it was almost certain, "My husband is young and hot-tempered, and he hates evil to some extent. When he heard about this, he couldn't help but pay more attention. He wanted to verify the evidence, but his strength was limited, and he didn't dare to alert the enemy. He turned around and found out that Pingshun Bo had a good relationship with many court officials, and many dignitaries were involved, including families like the Duke of Enguo. How dare he act rashly?"
"But if we sit back and do nothing, we will not be able to get over it. It is said that General Xu is upright and righteous. We have thought about it and discussed it several times before deciding to tell the people of Xu about this matter. I hope Madam will convey it to General Xu."
She also said that she couldn't sleep after learning about this. Rationally, she should pretend that she knew nothing, but since she knew about it, how could she pretend that she didn't know? Especially since she was pregnant, she felt uncomfortable thinking about those innocent women and children.
Mrs. Xu did not believe Xin An easily about such a big thing, "Why don't you tell your father-in-law?"
"I mentioned it twice in passing."
Xin An smiled helplessly, "You know, my father-in-law is a cautious person, and this matter involves a lot of things, he doesn't allow us to meddle in other people's business."
This is a decision that Tang Gang would make. Madam Xu wanted to know how much Tang Mo knew. Xin An said there was some evidence but it was not complete. "We have to ask him in person to find out."
"If General Xu also thinks this is too troublesome, just pretend that I have not been here today, and we will just keep this matter to ourselves."
After saying this, she retreated and sat down again. Madam Xu asked with a smile, "Why did you think of coming to tell me?"
Xin An sighed, "In Beijing, the only family I know who might be able to handle this matter and who I have a say over is the Xu family."
"Liao Zhi is not okay?"
"The Liao family is already a mess. Commander Liao may not be able to protect Mr. Gongyang."
Xin An said that she also went to the Liao family. The mistress of the house was in confinement after giving birth, and everything was handled by her mother-in-law. And now was the time when things were most busy. "Sister Xu was in confinement after giving birth, and she lost a lot of weight."
“It’s not easy for her either.”
Mrs. Xu was very clear about the situation of the Liao family. The family was like a frying pan on a fire. Life was not easy. She looked at Xin An with more affection than usual. "I only knew that the Xin family was kind, but I didn't expect them to be so kind. I'll remember this. When my general comes back, I'll tell him and see what the rules are."
"If necessary, we have to ask Mr. Tang to come."
"I heard that he did his job very well and was quite capable. Even the emperor praised him."
Xin An was proud of her husband being praised. "He likes this job and never delays unless it is necessary. Although the salary is not as much as his daily expenses, his spirit and energy have changed since he got this job. He is full of energy and I am happy to see it."
Madam Xu laughed, and the atmosphere became relaxed. Xin An got up and left when she saw that it was almost time. Under the current circumstances, she was not going to take the initiative to visit the Second Prince's wife and could just wait for news.
General Xu returned early today, the war in the northwest has been brought under control, and the Langri army surrendered recently. Today, the emperor issued an edict inviting neighboring countries to come to the capital to watch the military operations, in order to deter those countries that are ready to make moves, and secondly to make it clear that he wants to give Langri a taste of his own medicine.
The emperor has decided to conquer Langri, expand the territory, and push the northwest border line towards Langri by 500 miles.
"Zhang Sanlang has some skills, but the other families will not watch the Zhang family take all the military merits. Peace has lasted for too long, and no one wants to miss such merits. Many people are asking to fight today."
Mrs. Xu helped General Xu take off his armor, and General Xu was in a good mood.
Madam Xu said that the men of the Zhang family were good at fighting, and now that the princess and the young master had returned to the capital, they naturally fought well without any worries. "It's a pity that the Weiyuan Marquisate retreated too early, otherwise there would be one more military marquis in the capital."
"It's not that we retreat too early."
General Xu sat down to drink tea. "There is no outstanding successor. Rather than resting on my laurels, I would rather leave a reputation of retiring at the height of my career and save some face in front of the emperor."
"The old marquis has a sharp vision and a long-term perspective."
Tang Gang is not that kind of person.
If his sons were like General Zhang, each one braver than the other, why would he retreat?
Madam Xu signaled the waiters to leave and talked about the purpose of Xin An's visit today. After explaining everything, she said, "How could this grandson's wife, who was personally selected by the old marquis, come here because she feels uneasy? I think she wants to gain benefits from this matter, but she is capable enough to take it all by herself, so she found an ally."
General Xu raised his eyes and asked, "How much did they find out?"
Many people know that there are many beauties in the Pingshun Marquis's Mansion, but few people know where those beauties came from.
"Then I'll keep half and half. The exact amount depends on whether the master accepts the offer and how much benefit he gives."

"She even mentioned the Duke of Enguo's Mansion specifically. It's obvious that she knows that the Duke of Enguo's Mansion and the Crown Prince have close ties. The couple has a big appetite."
General Xu said: "It doesn't matter if you have a big appetite, it all depends on your ability. This is an opportunity. I will go see the Second Prince and discuss it later."
Madam Xu nodded, her eyes full of worry. Everyone had high hopes for the Second Prince's wife's belly, but it turned out to be a girl. Although the Second Prince didn't say anything, everyone knew what he was thinking when he took a concubine. At this time, the Second Prince's wife's family had to become her support.
This matter was handed over to General Xu to worry about, and Xin An and Tang Mo didn't have to worry about it for the time being. The next things had also been arranged, and life became easy again.
Lord Tao has been happy and confused recently. He has never had such a smooth time as this in all his years as an official. The people around him seem to have suddenly become friendly and kind. Wherever he is, there are always people who flatter him.
"Master Tao, please speak well of me in front of the prince."
"Master Tao has taught his son well. Your son is outstanding and a rare talent."
"Sir Tao, I am hosting a banquet tonight. I wonder if Sir Tao is free to go and have a drink."
Lord Tao smiled politely. He was very proud, but he felt uneasy. He was puzzled as to why the Prince of Nanguang would support him in every way. Tang Gang, who was standing with his colleagues in the distance, was even more puzzled. The people around him also had confusion in their eyes. "Then how did Lord Tao get the favor of the Prince of Nanguang?"
"Even the Marquis doesn't know what the two have in common?"
"Don't you think it's abrupt? The Prince of Nanguang didn't know Lord Tao before, so why did he suddenly have such an attitude?"
"There's something strange."
