Chapter 449: Xin An's Misfortune
"Not to mention that the Marquisate was in turmoil after she got pregnant with that little prince, the timing of the pregnancy was also unlucky. Do you still remember that the Marquisate's prince and his wife did that in broad daylight at the Tao family?"
"This is so unlucky. Later, the prince of the Marquisate was beaten again and spent half a year in the mansion recovering from his injuries. This time, he was fine. The Marquis got sick just after he was born."
"Not only the Marquis, but also the Marquis's wife. The old lady of the Marquis's mansion returned home just fine, but she collapsed the next moment. These people are all the elders of the young master. Isn't this a punishment for the whole family?"
"Didn't you say before that the child wasn't from the Marquis's Mansion at all?"
It has only been a few days since the last wave of rumors was suppressed, but these people have not forgotten about it. They are also good at associating things, and as long as they are given a start, they can connect all the rumors together, make them coherent, and find evidence to support them.
By the time Tang Gang found out, the rumor had already spread. Manager Zhang tried to suppress the news, but everyone who should know had already known it.
“How do you manage your household?”
Xin An is the housekeeper now, so naturally she will be the one to be looked for if anything goes wrong.
Xin An looked innocent, "Father, there are too many things going on in the mansion recently. I just took over the household affairs, and I am a little busy to ensure the peace in the mansion. I haven't been able to spare time to take care of the things outside for the time being."
"Last time, there were rumors in the city, and there were several people who were jealous of my father. We spent money and effort to suppress it, and I'm afraid that those people are still involved this time. If it happens again like last time, I'm afraid it will backfire."
This was a way of diverting trouble away, and Tang Gang had no doubt about it. He just thought that since he had not been in the court for the past few days, those people might have thought that he was going to die.
The main reason is that I don’t believe Xin An has that kind of ability.
Xin An saw through his thoughts and continued to guide him, "My husband holds a low position in the government, and my father has been ill and recuperating at home these days. I heard that those people in the court were fighting tooth and nail for the job of charity fundraising. Logically, my father is the most suitable candidate, but he got sick at the wrong time."
"Father has been getting better over the past two days. Those people may be afraid that he will return to the court and they will lose their chance, so they want to use some evil methods to attack him. What's even more abominable is that they attacked my nephew who is not even a month old. It's really shameful."
Tang Gang glanced at Xin An, admitted that what she said made some sense, and stopped blaming her. "When you went out to the banquet before, did those people mention anything about the mansion?"
Xin An nodded, "Of course I have to ask, that is."
"What is it?"
Xin An said frankly, "There are some rumors that my father embezzled a huge amount of one million taels in Huaijiang. Yesterday, I was ordered to send the young master to the palace, and the emperor also mentioned this matter."
Tang Gang was almost pissed off. "This is simply nonsense. Your Majesty is a wise ruler and will not believe it."
"yes."
Xin An told her, "When the emperor asked me about it, I also said that the carriages that returned to Beijing were the local gifts from Huaijiang that my mother and I bought and brought back to send to relatives and friends. My father also had some, which were local gifts sent by my father. Others were local gifts and medicinal materials sent by my father's friends when he was sick. The rumors are all groundless speculation."
"The emperor never mentioned the matter again."
Tang Gang looked at her and said, "You did a good job."
Although this daughter-in-law is not likable, she does have her good points.
"Where did Doctor Qin go?"
"I went out of town with Divine Doctor Zhang to collect herbs a few days ago. I don't know exactly which mountain we went to. Father has been injured this time. When Uncle Qin comes back, I will ask him to take good care of you."
Tang Gang said "hmm" and did not pursue Xin An's dereliction of duty. Xin An took the opportunity to ask, "I discussed with my mother before that we should invite a monk to chant sutras and pray for blessings, but then I thought that if we did so, it would confirm the rumors outside, so we had to give up."
"It's just that my eldest sister-in-law is about to leave her confinement, and my nephew is also about to reach his full month. Is there going to be a full month banquet in the mansion?"
Tang Gang got furious when he heard about Tao Yiran, and he also lost much love for his long-awaited grandson. Why hold a full moon banquet when the whole city was in turmoil?
Although the rumors outside were malicious, Tang Gang believed them to some extent. There was no peace in the mansion since he was born, and he implicated the elders. How could he have a good fate?
"Wait a hundred days and see."
Xin An nodded respectfully, "Yes."
"Although it's not easy to run a temple, it's still possible to invite a master to come in and take a look. Father, do you think it's necessary?"
Tang Gangrang waited a moment longer, and Xin An continued, "According to numerology, father is in conflict with Tai Sui this year, so he should be more cautious."
Yes, Tang Gang is in conflict with Tai Sui, so it is reasonable for him to have bad luck.
Tang Gang frowned, he didn't do anything that he should have paid attention to during the New Year holidays, and he even sought help from a master to resolve the problem. He went to Huaijiang and did a great job, and thought that he had turned the danger into a blessing. He never expected that his fortune would take a sudden turn for the worse.
"I will discuss this matter with your grandmother and then decide."
"yes."
Xin An left quickly, feeling refreshed. Whenever she met her servants on the road, she would greet them politely. These people had respected her before, but now that they were in charge of the household affairs, they were in awe of her again.
"Go and see Aunt Yu."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
The slave girl born to Aunt Yu is really pretty. She should hug her more often to see if she can bring good luck to him.
"Is the slave awake?"
"You came just in time. I just woke up and I'm in high spirits."
Aunt Yu greeted her carefully. After all, whether she could live a good life as an aunt in this mansion in the future depended on the mood of the Second Young Master's wife.
"Come here and let me hug you."
Recently, she came to hug her every few days. Aunt Yu relaxed a lot and gently put the baby in her arms.
The little baby is white and cute, with big eyes and long eyelashes. He is chubby and holding his hand, staring at Xin An curiously. He grins and Xin An follows him, "Nu'er is so cute. I miss you every day I don't see you. Call me Second Aunt."
"Call me Second Aunt."
The baby's babbling was the answer. Seeing that Xin An really liked it, Aunt Yu was also happy, "The Second Young Master's Madam comes here quite often, and I remember you. He is a little shy now, but he behaves well when the Second Young Master's Madam holds him."
"It seems that I am still popular among children."
Xin An raised his eyes and said, "Madam Yu, if you need anything, just come and tell me. Don't let our little slave suffer."
"Thank you, Madam Second Young Master."
"You're welcome."
Xin An asked her casually, "Has Big Brother written to ask about me these days?"
Aunt Yu looked lonely, Xin An comforted her, "Big brother must be busy. I am your eldest son, and I am so cute. I am blessed just by looking at you. How could I not like you?"
"Have you heard all the rumors outside?"
Aunt Yu nodded, just thankful that her son was born early and was not involved in the storm. Xin An said: "Try not to carry Nuer around the garden these days. Sister-in-law is in a bad mood, don't make her upset. Although I am in charge of the household affairs temporarily, you and Nuer are from the eldest house after all, so it is not convenient for me to interfere."
"Mrs. Yue has a good relationship with you, so you should comfort her a little. There will be no full-moon banquet, and there may not be a hundred-day banquet. There is a difference between legitimate and illegitimate children, so don't bring bad luck to her."
