Chapter 523: The only way to escape is to mourn
Lord Tao thought that he could suppress Tao Jiawei by using his father's authority. Seeing that Tao Jiawei dared to disobey him, the sweet and fishy feeling in his throat surged up, but he suppressed it and said, "There is no room for negotiation on this matter."
"Father, what happened?"
Tao Jiawei was not a fool. His father's attitude changed so quickly. What must have happened? "The catastrophe has already arrived, and you are still thinking about that little bit of glory."
Lord Tao was unwilling to tell him, and did not want more people to know about this scandal. Madam Tao also tried to persuade Tao Jiawei to obey, but how could Tao Jiawei be willing without a reason? "What kind of disaster is this? Could it be that someone in the court is targeting father? But now our family has the support of the prince, who dares to go against father?"
"Could it be the Marquis' Mansion? Is Tang Gang crazy?"
“Bang!”
Seeing that he was still talking about the Prince of Nanguang at this time, Lord Tao was so angry that his eyes turned black. "You evil creature, just listen to what I say. What, do you want to rebel?"
Tao Jiawei had been flattered for so long that he got angry. "This job was given to me by the prince. Unless the prince doesn't allow me to go, I will go regardless of weather conditions."
"My father always looked down on me, but the prince discovered my talent. I will go to see the prince now to show my loyalty."
He turned and left, and Lord Tao finally vomited out the blood he had been holding in. Mrs. Tao was frightened out of her wits. Fortunately, Li, who had been keeping an eye on this place, came and arranged for people to send Lord Tao to lie down and ask the lady to treat him.
As for Tao Jiawei, he had already left.
With Li around, the Tao family didn't fall into chaos. She also wanted to know the truth, but how could Mrs. Tao tell her? If the daughter-in-law knew it, she would already dislike Tao Yiran very much. If she knew it, wouldn't she just write a divorce letter and take the child back to her parents' home? "Mother, is there something wrong with my sister?"
Li had a guess in her mind. Aunt Liu came back suddenly and cried. Then the following events happened. It must be related to Tao Yiran. In addition, the Tao family suddenly received support from the Prince of Nanguang. Her mind was working fast. A ridiculous and terrible idea emerged in her mind, "Is it Tao Yiran?"
"She and the Prince of Nanguang?"
Mrs. Tao denied it immediately, but Li kept pursuing her, "I know the character of my own man, and I also know what kind of person the Prince of Nanguang is. How could he promote her for no reason?"
"Aunt Liu came back just now. She cried after seeing my mother. Her eyes were evasive, and it was clear that she felt guilty."
"Mother, yes and no?"
Mrs. Tao stammered, and finally covered her face and cried. Mrs. Li staggered back two steps, holding on to the table to stand firm, with a look of sarcasm and sneers, "It's really a big joke."
"What a huge insult."
It turns out that the prosperity of the Tao family was stolen by their married daughter. How ridiculous and sad!
Lord Tao also recovered and forced himself to sit up. He endured the discomfort and ordered people to tie up the Tao family. At the same time, he said to Li: "This is a shame for the Tao family and a misfortune for the family, but it must not be made public. For your sake, your children must also keep their mouths shut. I will give you an explanation."
Li had always respected her father-in-law, but she still warned him, "Father, if you don't make a decision, you will suffer. The Tao family can't stand such a blow."
Lord Tao closed his eyes and had already made a decision in his mind.
"Go to the Marquis's Mansion and tell the Marquis that I will come to discuss matters tomorrow night."
Li still had to deal with the affairs of the mansion, so she caught Tao Jiawei and left the house without staying for long. Mr. Tao struggled in his eyes, and after a moment he asked Mrs. Tao in a cold voice, "How is the old lady?"
"Not very well. I've been taking medicine to keep myself going. Occasionally I wake up and talk nonsense."
The old lady of the Tao family is paralyzed, and only Mrs. Tao knows how she became paralyzed.
Lord Tao took a deep breath and said, "The old lady has been very strong all her life and loves beauty the most. I think she doesn't want to live such an ugly life. You go and prepare."
Mrs. Tao clenched her handkerchief tightly, "Master, what do you want?"
"It's easy to resign, but after resigning, you will no longer have any value, and you will not be able to compete with the Marquisate. Only mourning can solve the current dilemma and leave a way for future generations."
He knew Tang Gang too well. If Tao Yiran's husband was Tang Mo, the matter could be settled by giving Tang Gang enough benefits, but it was Tang Rong.
Tang Gang has an almost pathological protection for Tang Rong. He will never give up. Even if he cannot do anything to the Prince of Nanguan, he will definitely vent his anger on the Tao family.
If they resigned together as father and son, the truth would surely be discovered by those interested. But if they resigned in mourning, not only would it not arouse suspicion, Tang Gang would also be wary of him. After the mourning period was over, he could find a job outside the capital and reserve a future for the son of the Tao family.
Madam Tao understood what he meant, and her eyes were firm. "Master, take a good rest and think about how to explain to the Marquis' Mansion. Leave the matter to the Marquis' Mansion. We can't afford to offend the Prince of Nanguang, so we can only swallow this loss. Leave the rest to me."
The old woman ruined her daughter, so she should pave the way for the Tao family's future.
At this time, Aunt Liu had returned to the Marquis' Mansion as usual. She had betrayed the Tao family, and now the only one she could rely on was Wang.
After telling Wang all of Mrs. Tao's arrangements, Wang raised her eyebrows and said, "You are very good at using poison."

Aunt Liu said that Madam Tao's family had a guest who had a way to buy a miraculous medicine. Thinking of this, she told Wang Shi one more thing, which was Tao Yiran's attitude towards Xin An, and that he also treated her as his servant. "If the Second Young Master's wife is ungrateful and overpowers her, she will also... demand it."
Wang was furious, "What do you want? A bowl of medicine to send the second son's wife off?"
"yes."
"This vicious woman!"
Even if Tao Yiran poisoned Tang Rong with 108 kinds of poison, she would not be angry, but if you dare to have such thoughts about her daughter-in-law, you must pay the price! Aunt Liu did not dare to say anything. Wang asked a few more questions. After learning that there was nothing to hide, she asked Ping Qiu to give her a gold bracelet. "This thing will not be easily discovered if you wrap it with cloth and wear it. It is also easy to carry when you leave."
"Thank you ma'am."
Aunt Liu was extremely surprised. This was beyond her expectations. Wang smiled softly, "I said I would protect you. Nothing will happen to you, and I won't let you work in vain."
Aunt Liu bowed and retreated. Wang asked Pingqiu to come closer and talk. Didn’t she like using poison? Then let her experience it for herself.
As the night slowly fell, Tang Mo hummed a little tune and returned to Qiushi Courtyard. Ever since Xin An became pregnant, he reduced the number of social gatherings and drinking outside, and started to take care of himself at a young age, fearing that he would not live long.
Luo Qi asked the person arranged at the Tao family to send the message back. When Tang Mo heard it, he just smiled and went back to the house to tell Xin An.
"Li is a sober person, it's not surprising."
Xin An lazily leaned on the beauty couch, "In her previous life, my neighbor was able to get whatever she wanted in the Marquis's Mansion. Madam Tao frequently visited her, and Mrs. Li always accompanied her, but she never tried to curry favor with my neighbor. I can tell that she doesn't like this sister-in-law."
Tang Mo stepped forward and massaged her legs. "Speaking of which, we are the ones who are most relaxed right now. I heard from Liao Zhi that Tang Rong was impeached. I don't know who impeached him."
