Chapter 551: It is hard to get another chance if you miss it
"It's getting late, grandma, you should go back and rest early. We all need to be well now."
Seeing the old lady still walking around the mansion so late at night, Xin An felt a little reluctant. If he were in the old lady's shoes, he would also feel uncomfortable about the current situation.
The old lady stood up and patted Xin An's hand, "Good boy."
He didn't say anything extra, but just asked Wang to send her back. It was obvious that he had something to say to Wang alone. Wang was still angry, and if she didn't put out the fire in time, it would burn Tang Gang.
After everyone left, Xin An returned to the bed, reached out and touched Tang Mo's forehead, muttering, "It's fine if you're just acting, but how could he beat you up like this, like a fool."
"I did it on purpose."
Tang Mo opened his eyes, and Xin An sat on the edge of the bed, "You're not asleep."
"It hurts, and I can't sleep."
"Do you feel the pain now? It would be fine if you let him hit you twice, but why did you let him hit you so hard?"
Xin An glared at him unhappily. Tang Mo smiled bitterly, "I am a jerk. The old man treated me like this, but I still have some thoughts about him in my heart. Maybe it was because I was too eager to get his attention when I was a child, and it became an obsession."
"At the time, I thought that since I was such a jerk, I should be beaten up by him and my thoughts would be shattered completely."
Xin An sighed, "What was the result?"
"Of course I lived up to my expectations. I didn't see his eyes at the time, so I guess he wanted to eat me. Anyway, there's nothing to be disappointed about. I've given myself an explanation."
Xin An didn't know what to say to him. He thought that the power of his bloodline was really powerful. Although he didn't give him any warmth, he still longed for his father's love in his heart.
"What are we going to do now?"
Tang Mo gently adjusted himself to a comfortable position and continued to lie down, "I can't go to work like this. I can't hide the fact that I was beaten, and I don't want to hide it. Although I have taken action frequently in the past year or so, I have not done anything to harm the old man. On the contrary, I have always protected him and given him advice. I have done my best as a filial son."
"Now is the most critical moment, and I can't care about him. Tang Rong's ending will not change. It's my turn to take the throne, and I have to protect my title."
Xin An pulled the quilt over his lower back. Chun Yang brought him a pill at this time. "This is the medicine given by Qin Bo. Take it."
Tang Mo opened his mouth and ate it, then took Xin An's hand and asked, "Did I scare you?"
"No."
Xin An stood up and said, "I am as hard as iron. I am not afraid or worried at all."
Tang Mo laughed, "Next time, take care of the dark circles under your eyes before you lie. It makes you look so pitiful."
Xin An glared at him and turned away. He felt uncomfortable in his eyes and needed to go get some treatment.
"Mother, how can this be done?"
In Chunrong Hall, the old lady explained to Wang the current situation of the Marquis' Mansion and said that she would give the title to Tang Mo. Wang was happy, but she couldn't show her happiness on the surface. She looked panicked and said, "The Marquis has been in the court for many years. This matter may still be handled. Although I have some complaints about the eldest brother, if he loses the position of the prince, how can he gain a foothold in the capital in the future?"
The old lady sighed, "He is not the only one in the Marquis' Mansion, and we cannot let him destroy the entire Marquis' Mansion by himself."
"Don't blame the second son's father too much for what happened today. He has been partial to the eldest son for more than a day or two. It's hard to understand why something like this happened. It's hard to correct a person's crooked heart. Just think of the second son and his father as having a shallow bond. Be more caring towards him in the future."
At this moment, the old lady gave Wang a strange feeling, as if the old lady was much more decisive than before. "I will not tell the second son and his wife about this for the time being, so as to avoid any more trouble."
"I can't help with matters outside the mansion, I can only take care of the mansion and let the Marquis worry less."
The old lady nodded with relief, "I'm a little tired, you should go back and rest too."
Wang knew that the old lady was probably feeling uncomfortable too, so she stood up and said goodbye. She felt particularly happy on the way back to the front yard.
At the next morning court, Tang Gang was hesitant to speak. He swallowed the words back several times when they were on the tip of his tongue. He had not given up hope yet and always wanted to wait a little longer. However, his reason told him that he could not wait any longer. After struggling for two hours, he finally made up his mind to go and ask for an audience with the emperor when it was almost noon. When he arrived at the imperial study, he learned that the emperor had gone to the empress dowager's care.
"The Emperor said he won't see anyone today, so please come back tomorrow, my Lord."
Tang Gang asked another question, "But the emperor is not feeling well?"
The palace maid did not answer, and Eunuch Zhao was not there either, so he had no choice but to leave the palace.
Sometimes once an opportunity is missed, it is very difficult to find the next one, so much so that Tang Gang did not dare to return home in the evening, fearing that the old lady would question him. At the same time, the news that he had beaten Tang Mo so hard that he could not get out of bed spread out, and those who heard the news laughed at him behind his back, saying that he could not control his biased son and could only vent his anger on his obedient son.

"The second son of the Tang family is also unlucky. He has such a biased and unreasonable father."
"Who says he isn't? The second son of the Tang family used to be a bit of a nobody, but he was reborn after getting married. He is now a top figure in the Northern Army. A few days ago, several old ladies were still saying that their children and grandchildren should get married first and then start a career. The second son of the Tang family is a living example."
"After all, he is just a step-son born to a stepmother. He is not as precious as the eldest son. But he is about to become a father, and he has not done anything wrong, but he is beaten so hard that he cannot get out of bed. Don't tell them that he is beating them for the people outside to see."
"To cheer him up, to let people know he's angry."
Several ladies sat there bored after dinner and belittled Tang Gang. The officials in the court also knew about this and they all smiled and shook their heads, ready to continue laughing at Tang Gang's joke.
At this time, someone said that the Crown Prince, the Second Prince and other princes had entered the palace today, and members of the royal family had also gone there, and it seemed that something big was about to happen.
Tang Mo had been lying on the bed for a whole day. He couldn't stand it anymore so he got up, put on his clothes and stood in the yard and said to Xin An: "Actually, I think it's okay. Apart from the pain in my back, it doesn't affect me from going out."
Xin An was feeding the fish. "Not really. People are saying that you were beaten so badly that you can't get out of bed. You'll have to stay in bed for at least three days."
"I can't get down anymore."
Xin An smiled and said, "Then just walk around in the yard and take a rest at home. I've asked a carpenter to come in and make two small beds, some small stools, small wooden horses and so on. You can also think of something useful for your daughter and son."
"The house you live in will also need to be renovated so that it can be used as a place for the children to live."
Tang Mo was very interested in this job and was already thinking about how to expand the room. Otherwise, it would be too crowded for two children to live in. Suddenly, a dull bell rang in his ears, one after another. Everyone looked up in the direction of the sound. "It came from the palace."
Tang Mo counted silently, and finally sighed, "The Queen Mother has passed away."
