Chapter 212 Wang's Killing Three Birds with One Stone
The Tao family changed their housekeeper, so other things must have happened. Wang just took a quick look and then looked away, showing no curiosity. She just smiled and continued walking forward. Li also followed suit and called her aunt. The relationship between the two seemed to have become much closer, and they talked a lot along the way.
"Take care, auntie."
Li escorted them to the door, and watched Tang Gang and Wang get on the carriage before turning back to the house. When she returned to the bedroom, the nurse who was waiting for her smiled and brought tea to her, "From today on, the Tao family's finances will officially fall into the hands of the young lady."
Li drank the tea and said, "Don't be too anxious to be happy. The situation in the mansion is probably still a mess. If the eunuch is transferred away from the capital, I will have no choice but to follow him."
The old lady hasn't woken up yet, and who knows what she'll do when she wakes up. She's naturally the one who benefits from the fight between the two generations of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but the Tao family is not like this now, and it's hard to say what the future holds.
The nanny was very optimistic. "As long as we can find a way to get the young master to quit gambling, and then ask the master to find a job for him in the capital, then he will naturally have a reason to stay in the capital."
"From what I saw from Madam Tang's conversation with the young lady today, I think she is very dissatisfied with our Madam. This may not be a bad thing for the young lady. She can visit her more often in the future."
Li sneered. How sincere can a stepmother be to her stepson? Moreover, this was a stepson who had snatched her own son's bride on the wedding night. If she still had no grudges against him, then was Mrs. Tang made of tofu?
Li was sure that Wang was not as kind and generous as she appeared. She was able to be the mistress of the Marquis's mansion and manage the household affairs for many years. How simple could such a person be? "She is not only dissatisfied with her mother-in-law, but she is even more dissatisfied with that man. If she really values the piece of meat in her belly, she would not have the attitude she has today. Only her mother-in-law cannot see clearly and thinks that she can turn the tables by relying on the pregnancy."
"Wasn't the pregnant maid from the Marquis's Mansion also sent to the farm?"
"In my opinion, there is no need to deliberately please the Marquis' Mansion. Just take a look around."
The wet nurse smiled and nodded, and then started talking about the household affairs. Once the power was in hand, she would be busy for several days.
As she was talking, another maid came in with a letter in her hand. She looked as if she had discovered something very important. "Madam, we just caught a sneaky servant and found this letter on him. It said that it was sent by Mr. Zhu San of the Duke of Xiangguo's Mansion and was for my aunt."
The point is, “It’s not the first time.”
Li took the letter and read it over and over again but did not open it. The corners of her lips curled up slightly with disgust in her eyes. "Send the letter to mother and tell her exactly what you just said."
This is taking advantage of your weakness to kill you. I wonder if her mother-in-law, who is still angry, can bear such a thing.
As soon as the maid left, the nanny lowered her voice and said, "Madam's housekeeper is really too lax. This letter can be passed freely in the mansion. If it is revealed to the master and the old lady, the young lady's power as housekeeper will be firmly held."
Li smiled without saying anything. The other party had given up his martial arts, and she had only ignited a spark. It was a bit unfair to say that she had won.
Tang Gang returned to the mansion with a gloomy face. Wang was half a step behind him. She took a sip of tea after entering the door before speaking, "It was really unexpected. The Tao family finally spoke first, and the Marquisate was about to get rid of the Tao family, but she ended up getting pregnant."
God really is helping her son.
These words hit the nail on the head for Tang Gang. "You've been to see it, how is it?"
"What else can I do?"
Wang sighed, "Of course she is so happy. She thinks everything is fine now that she is pregnant. She can ignore the things happening outside and wait for the Marquis' Mansion to clean up the mess."
Tang Gang snorted coldly, "In two days, you will bring the one from the farm back. She should be giving birth soon, right?"
He was talking about Xueyu in front of Tang Rong. Wang calculated the date and said that she should be able to give birth by the end of the year. "She has been taken care of by Aunt Cai. I heard that the baby in her belly is growing well."
Tang Gang meant, "After all, she is my flesh and blood, so it is better to keep her in front of me and find a suitable day to bring her back."
Xueyu was born in a poor family, but how good was Tao Yiran's family? With such a bad reputation and a shameless mother, the child would be born like that, and would be criticized at any time when he grows up. He is not as good as Xueyu, except that he was born in a poor family, but there is nothing to say.
Thinking of the situation of Tang Rong's two children, he couldn't help but feel even more angry. "I'll go to the Tao family to pick them up in a few days."
Wang said, "It's okay to leave it alone for two days. If it's too long, I'm afraid there will be gossip outside. When I met my mother-in-law today, I think what she said was that she wanted to suppress the Marquis' Mansion by relying on the child in her belly, and she also wanted the Marquis' Mansion to give her an explanation."
"How do you deal with her?"
Wang smiled and said, "Young people have just gotten married, so it's inevitable that they can't help themselves. It's not a big deal, but the servants of the Tao family are unruly and spread this matter. If this matter is to be investigated, it will naturally be the Tao family's fault."
Wang was much more experienced than Tang Mo in considering things. Tang Mo proposed to deny the matter and go to great lengths to eliminate the impact of the matter on the Marquis' Mansion. In her opinion, it was unnecessary and it would be better to just confirm the matter directly to save time and effort.
This move not only confirmed Tang Rong's lack of moral integrity, but also hit Mrs. Tao for not managing the household strictly. More importantly, she, as a stepmother, could also gain a reputation for being lenient. Why not? This greatly pleased Tang Gang, and he became more and more satisfied with Wang, because this explanation also gave him a reason to forgive Tang Rong. It was a pity that Wang did not tell him about this idea earlier, which made him passive when talking to Lord Tao today.

Wang shifted the topic back to Tao Yiran, and Tang Gang snorted again, "Does she think that my mansion is the Tao family, and that she would invite anyone, good or bad, into the mansion just to have an heir?"
"After you bring her back, don't let her out again. Just stay in Chunhuayuan."
Isn’t this exactly what Wang wants?
Tang Rong had no chance to hook up with the more powerful Yue family, nor would he have a powerful daughter-in-law to share power with Xin An. Tang Rong was completely cut off from one arm, and there was nothing more appropriate than this.
"I understand. Don't worry, my Lord. I won't let the child go out to see anyone before she is 100 days old."
Tang Gang looked much more relaxed, and he invited Wang to go see Tang Rong together and tell him the news.
When I went out, I felt that the sky was much bluer, the air was better, and I was in a good mood. "It's a nice day today."
Wang looked up at the sky and said, "Yes, it is."
"It's a pity that the trip we agreed to on the day off won't work."
Tang Gang nodded, still feeling somewhat regretful.
