Chapter 542: The Old Lady Who Is Incomprehensible
The old lady returned angrily. Like any other mother-in-law, she was reluctant to blame her son and always subconsciously blamed her daughter-in-law.
But Wang did not take all the responsibility on herself as usual, and her attitude was tough. The old lady immediately guessed that the matter might be more serious than she heard, and had nothing to do with Wang.
With Ganlu there to smooth things over, the tension between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law was quickly resolved.
"Is it so serious?"
Wang said, "When the Marquis comes back, mother will know. I hope mother will take care of herself. The Marquis's Mansion can no longer withstand any more disturbances."
"Aunt Ganlu, please send mother back."
Ganlu stepped forward and helped the old lady up. The old lady did not ask any more questions and left with a serious expression.
Wang did not go to see her off. She waited until the old lady left and then told the court doctor to be prepared in case the old lady was seriously injured and needed timely treatment.
There suddenly appeared a huge cloud in the sky overhead, it was so dark and it looked like it was going to rain. Wang sighed quietly, not knowing when the sky above the Marquis' Mansion would clear up.
I think it should be soon.
There was no way the old lady could rest after returning to Chunrong Hall, so she immediately called people to inquire. Unfortunately, apart from Tang Mo and his wife, only Tang Gang and Wang knew the inside story. No matter how the people below asked, it was in vain, because what they knew was no different from what outsiders said.
But the old lady didn't believe it. She didn't believe that Mrs. Tao would commit suicide. She also said that she was bewitched by the ghost of the old lady of the Tao family. It was simply nonsense.
Ganlu wanted to persuade her but failed. She just hoped that the truth would not upset the old lady too much. She turned around silently and prepared some heart-saving pills.
This was the third time Tang Gang was called back by Wang recently. Nothing good happened in the first two times, and this time was even worse. Thinking about what he was going to say, his face turned unhappy, and he blamed Wang for not being able to share his worries.
As soon as he stepped into the gate of the Marquis' Mansion, Xin An got the news and ordered Chunyang to take out the old ginseng in the warehouse for preparation. She was afraid that the heart-saving pills would not be enough, so she decided to see whether Tang Gang would choose to tell everything or keep some secrets.
"Go ahead."
In Chunrong Hall, the old lady had already taken the heart-saving pill. Tang Gang hesitated to speak, and finally sighed heavily, "Everything has been settled. When the eldest son returns to Beijing, we will find him a new marriage. Mother really doesn't need to worry."
"Is the dust settled?"
The old lady looked at him coldly, "Is there anything strange about the death of the eldest brother's wife?"
She had thought of many possibilities and even suspected Wang.
"There is nothing strange. Everything has been investigated. Mother doesn't need to feel sorry for her. It's all her own fault."
Tang Gang was really afraid that the old lady would collapse, and was unwilling to tell the truth.
The old lady asked Ganlu to go out and guard the door. She sighed and said, "It is said that if you are not deaf or blind, you cannot be a good old man. I have tried my best to make myself deaf and blind, but there is no reason not to ask about such a thing. My body is not as weak as you think. You can't let me go down and see your father who is also a fool in the future?"
Tang Gang didn't say anything for a long time, but finally told the old lady, "Tao has had an affair with someone, and has been having affairs with others for several times. The Marquis' Mansion can't tolerate her."
"Everything is the result of discussions between my son and the Tao family."
The old lady's eyes went dark. "Who is it?"
"The former Prince of Nanguang, now the Duke of Shenguo."
Tang Gang took a deep breath and said, "Mother, this matter is over. The emperor has not allowed us to pursue it any further. There is no need to mention such shameful things. I have to consider my eldest son."
The old lady didn't understand, how could Tao Yiran know the Prince of Nanguang? Tang Gang told the story of the Earl of Pingshun again. So far, the old lady didn't say anything, but waved Tang Gang to leave. Tang Gang was worried, and the old lady said: "I want to be quiet, don't worry, nothing will happen."
"Even if it's for the Marquis' Mansion, my old bones won't fall down easily."
Tang Gang had a solemn expression on his face. After returning to his room, he sighed for a long time and told Wang to pay her respects early tomorrow. If she found anything wrong, she should call a doctor immediately and stay with the doctor to comfort her.
Wang sneered in her heart, and her filial piety was fully expressed in her words. If he was so filial, why couldn't he go in person?
That night, the old lady stared at the seal left by the old marquis all night. An earl dared to plot against the wife of the prince of the marquisate, and a prince could directly lay his hands on her. These facts made the old lady realize little by little that without the old marquis, the marquisate would have lost its former power.
Tang Gang failed to continue the glory of the Marquisate.
Everything that happened over the past year came to his mind, clearer than ever before. If Tang Gang can't do it, can Tang Rong?
It was not until the next morning that Ganlu discovered that the old lady was not in a good mood and was filled with worry.
Wang came early anyway, not out of Tang Gang's filial piety, but because of the care the old lady had given her over the years.

No one is perfect. If we only focus on the other person's faults, how can we live our lives? "You were right to keep silent yesterday."
The old lady was not a mean person. Seeing that Wang was also haggard, she said, "It is mother who has made things difficult for you."
Wang Fuli, "Thank you mother for your consideration."
The old lady smiled bitterly, "I originally blamed you, so there is no sympathy."
"How's the second one doing lately?"
"Very busy."
Wang said that Liao Zhi had already left for the northwest, and many things of the Northern Army fell on Tang Mo's shoulders, making him much busier than before. "That kid is ambitious and wants to fight for his own future, so he will have to endure some hardships."
The old lady was finally somewhat relieved. "It's a good thing to have ambition. If you want to achieve something, you have to endure hardships. You taught him well, and the mansion has wronged him over the years. Although he complained a little, he didn't do anything to damage the reputation of the mansion. This is enough to show that he has a good character and is aware of the overall situation."
Wang didn't understand what the old lady meant by these words, so she thought of changing the subject, "The second son and his wife always discuss things together. His wife is more stable than him. She has indeed changed a lot in the past year or so. Don't worry about him. Instead, you should take care of your health."
The old lady smiled and said, "I have taken care of my body for so many years. I know what I am doing. Don't worry, I can still live for another three to five years."
"Okay, go ahead and do your work. I'll take a break."
Wang couldn't figure out what she was thinking. She confirmed that she was fine before leaving. After everyone left, the old lady looked tired again. Ganlu stepped forward to support her and said, "Go to sleep for a while. At your age, you can't stay up all night."
The old lady said, "It wasn't in vain. I have figured out some things. Don't worry. I won't die anytime soon."
Xin An's old ginseng was prepared, and it was a relief that the old lady was fine, but the old lady's attitude was really hard to guess.
On this day, Xin Chang and his son were assigned to be interpreters of the Honglu Temple. Although they were not high-ranking officials and had little power, they were still able to work for the imperial court. The excited father and son set up a table in Xin's house to worship their ancestors. There were so many offerings on the table that Tang Mo was amazed. He knocked his head particularly loudly.
