Chapter 258 Tang Gang Bleeding
Xin An also knew how to lower her eyes and sob. She had unknowingly learned most of Tao Yiran's skills. Plus, she usually smiled all day long and it was rare to see her angry or unhappy. So her crying now looked much more aggrieved than Tao Yiran's.
"Father dislikes my husband to the point of disgust. No matter what my husband and I do, my father is not happy. He uses the greatest malice to speculate that we have bad intentions. Now he has accused me of being jealous of my sister-in-law and murdering my nephew. Grandmother, why don't you let me move out? How should I live in the mansion in the future?"
The old lady hated Aunt Cai for stirring up trouble and was angry at Tang Gang for being unkind. She patted Xin An's hand and said, "Good boy, grandma believes in you. Grandma has never doubted you and the second boy. Your mother has already investigated the matter and it has nothing to do with you."
"Those who should be punished have been punished. No one dares to say anything about you. This matter will not spread outside the palace. Anyone who dares to gossip about you will be beaten to death."
"Your father's grandmother would say something to him. He knows that what he did was inappropriate, but he is too proud to say it. Don't think too much about it. Grandmother is responsible for everything."
The old lady knew very well that only by pacifying Xin An would the house be at peace. As Xin An's biological mother-in-law, Wang would naturally be of the same mind as her. If Xin An was pacified, Wang would naturally be pacified.
Xin An stopped sobbing and stood up to pay her respects to the old lady. "Thank you grandma for trusting me and protecting me. I feel a little more at ease with you here. My husband was away last night and something like that happened. Although I said disrespectful words to my father in anger, I was terrified in my heart."
"Get up quickly."
Tang Gang, who had retreated, came out. It was not until today that he realized that his second daughter-in-law, who was always smiling, was a difficult character. Although Tao Yiran loved to make trouble, she was honest in the Marquis' Mansion and was even more submissive in front of him. She had never spoken to him loudly.
This one is even better. He directly insulted him with words and even dared to threaten him. He is simply disrespectful to elders and lawless. He has a lot of reasons but every word he says is hurtful.
"Father."
Xin An spoke first and looked at her with red eyes. Tang Gang said "hmm" and ignored her. The old lady smiled and spoke well of Xin An, saying that she knew she was wrong for her bad attitude last night and she was regretting it.
Xin An walked down the stairs and said, "It was my daughter-in-law who acted inappropriately last night. Please forgive me, father."
What could Tang Gang say? "I got angry with you before I asked you clearly. Let's just forget about it."
This was his biggest concession, he thought he was magnanimous enough, but he sneered in his heart and pretended to be respectful on the surface.
The old lady looked pleased and asked Ganlu to bring out a bonsai inlaid with various gemstones and agates. It was extremely gorgeous. "This is your father's treasure, his most precious item. I'll give it to you to calm your nerves."
In fact, it was the old lady who ordered Ganlu to move it from Tang Gang's study. Of course, as a father-in-law, he would have to bleed for having offended his daughter-in-law. Ganlu was also smart. She knew what Xin An liked. She didn't even look at those calligraphy and paintings, and just moved the one that looked the most valuable.
Tang Gang felt a pang of pain, for this was a gift given to him by an official after he helped him. Not to mention the gold, jade and precious stones, the workmanship was extremely rare and it was a top-quality item. He liked it the most and put it in his study to look at it every day.
Since he was so fond of her, Xin An naturally felt good about it. Seeing his heartbroken expression, she was even more satisfied. She even said politely, "Since father loves her, how can I accept it? If there is a misunderstanding, just talk it out. Father is the head of the family. Things outside the mansion have already made father very worried. It is possible that he was not careful for a while. It's all Aunt Cai's fault for her evil intentions, and it has nothing to do with father."
"She is indeed a considerate and sensible girl."
The old lady looked at Tang Gang, "But?"
What could Tang Gang say? When he saw something good, even his tone of voice changed. Don't think he didn't hear the smugness in Xin An's words. His hatred for Aunt Cai reached its peak. If she hadn't done this, would he have suffered such a huge loss? "It's just a decoration. Take it and play with it."
"Thank you, father." Xin An said, "I heard that father has a treasure?"
"If father is willing to give it up, can I give him something in exchange?"
It is made entirely of gold and inlaid with various gems. The handle is hollowed out. The wonderful thing is that it can be opened like a box, and there is a jade ruyi inside, which is very rare.
Tang Gang stared at her warily, "What are you doing here?"
Xin An said: "My younger brother is getting married in the first half of next year, and I want to give him some gifts. Ordinary gold, silver and jade articles are too ordinary, so I want to give him a rare item that can hold up the occasion."
"I thought it was something."
The old lady thought this was a good opportunity to repair the relationship. Besides, the Xin family should be given some respect, otherwise the money bag would be gone sooner or later. "We are all family, so don't talk about whether to exchange or not. It's too unfamiliar. For such a big event, the Marquis' Mansion should also send a gift. Send the Baibao Ruyi. It's decent and beautiful, and it will let the in-laws know the Marquis' Mansion's intentions."
"How can this be good?"
Xin An looked terrified and said, "I just happened to hear that my father had such a treasure, and I just wanted to ask about it, so as not to steal it away from him."
The old lady smiled and said, "You are just being polite. You should have told us about this happy event earlier. The Tang and Xin families have been friends for many years, but they are not worth a Ruyi?"
Seeing that the two of them had gotten his treasure for nothing with just a few words, Tang Gang felt dizzy and almost fainted. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "Mother is right. It's right. The palace is sending someone to Huaijiang to deliver the New Year's gift, so let's send Ruyi over as well."

"Thank you, father."
Tang Gang said that he didn't want to see Xin An for the rest of his time, let alone say another word to her. He broke a teacup and had to pay for it with two rare items. These two treasures could almost buy all the teacups in the capital. He was so angry.
Aunt Cai from Chunhuayuan better pray not to commit crimes again, or else I will kill her!!!
He left on the pretext of having something to do, leaving Xin An and the old lady behind. Knowing that the old lady had not had dinner yet, Xin An couldn't say that he had enjoyed the meal outside, so he could only say that he was hungry too, and accompanied the old lady to eat a little more. Seeing that she ate little, the old lady sighed in her heart, thinking that she was still upset.
Seeing that the old lady had only eaten half a bowl, Xin An said, "Grandma, you should relax. You are the pillar of the family."
"As long as you are here, there will be no chaos in the mansion."
"I got a box of sea cucumbers. I'll send some over later so Aunt Ganlu can make golden rice for you."
The old lady did not refuse and agreed with a smile. After the meal, Xin An chatted with the old lady for a while before leaving. The old lady felt much more relieved at this time. If Xin An was happy, Wang would keep things quiet. When Tang Mo came back, Xin An would also persuade him and there would be no trouble.
Thinking of Xin An, he couldn't help but sigh, "The old man has a sharp vision. If he could live a few more years, the Marquis' Mansion wouldn't be in such a mess today."
