Chapter 526 Tao Yiran embarks on the road to the underworld
Lord Tao did not tell Tang Gang that today, the trusted steward of Prince Nanguang came to the Tao family, and his words contained a warning, indicating that the evildoer who claimed that he could control men overestimated himself after all.
Tang Gang had a sullen face and said nothing. At that moment, he did not know that his son would no longer have children. He just thought that this ugly thing should not be made public.
"You and I have served in the same court for many years, and we became in-laws in order to continue the friendship between our two families. Now that it has come to this, it is really hard to think about it."
"Divorcing my wife is inevitable. How can I face my ancestors if I keep her?"
Lord Tao knelt down while holding onto a chair, "My Lord, let her die of illness or leave home, but never divorce her, never divorce her~"
The Tao family cannot have a divorced girl. "As long as the Marquis agrees, as long as my Tao family can do it, the Marquis will do his best to help."
He put his own on the chopping board and waited to see how Tang Gang would proceed. Tang Gang did not speak for a long while. It seemed that he was thinking whether to vent his anger or take a step back to gain benefits.
Tonight is destined to be another sleepless night for the two of them.
Wang, on the other hand, could not hold on any longer after performing for a few days. She pretended to feel dizzy and then lay down to sleep. She originally wanted to tell Tang Gang that Tang Rong had been drugged so that he could experience the heartache. But she changed her mind and decided not to make any noise since the drug was not a fatal one anyway.
Then there are Nu'er and Chunlang. If Tang Gang knew that Tang Rong would not have any more children, she would definitely turn her attention to these two children. For the sake of the blessings of her descendants, she would not harm the children, but she would not sit idly by and watch the two children block the way for her grandson.
This kind of thing should be saved for the final fatal blow.
"I think the old man will eventually value his own interests. The old lady of the Tao family is dying. If she dies tomorrow, the father and son of the Tao family will reasonably begin to observe mourning. If the old man takes action at that time, he will have missed the best opportunity."
In Qiushi Courtyard, the couple was lying on the bed talking.
The dead are respected. When the time comes, the old lady will be accused of dying of anger after learning about this matter. If the Marquis' Mansion wants to pursue the matter, they will be criticized.
"This is a really brilliant move by the Tao family."
Sacrificing an old lady who brought laughter to the Tao family in exchange for a chance to survive the crisis, "it's really cruel."
"Otherwise, how can one say that he has been in the officialdom for so many years?"
Xin An sighed, "For the sake of the word 'family', I can give up everything when necessary, but what is a family?"
Neither of them spoke. Compared to a ruthless person like Lord Tao, they, as a couple, were actually not good enough. They simply could not be that ruthless and could not break that bottom line.
It was late at night and the couple were already fast asleep. In the study room in the front yard, Tang Gang and Lord Tao were still negotiating. Tao Yiran from Chunhua Courtyard was also asleep. Perhaps because she did not sleep well, she would always reach out to scratch her face unconsciously. If she scratched too hard, red marks would be left, but she was unaware of it and continued to scratch subconsciously.
The next day, Xin An woke up to a sharp, terrified voice, "What happened outside?"
Chunyang pushed the door open and came in. "It came from next door, it's not clear yet."
Xin An blinked halfway through a yawn. Could it be that Tang Gang and Lord Tao had already discussed the result last night and were going to kill her today, and had already taken action?
"Go and ask around."
He was no longer sleepy at this moment, so he got up and started to clean up. Nanfeng soon heard the news, "The eldest young lady woke up early in the morning and found a lot of bloodstains on her face, as if she was scratched. She said Chunhuayuan was haunted."
"How is this possible?"
Chun Yang shrank his neck, "What kind of ghost likes to scratch people's faces?"
"Madam Young Master caught it herself in Nightmare, right?"
Nanfeng shook his head and said that Tao Yiran had driven everyone out and left only Aunt Liu to serve, and now he had gone to ask the palace doctor.
Xin An felt that it was not that simple. She wanted to wait until after breakfast and then go to the front yard to ask her mother-in-law. However, before she could go out, she heard footsteps outside the yard. It turned out to be a group of servants from the Tao family.
The leader was Li. Xin An asked curiously. Li's red eyes showed that she had cried. "The old lady at home is not well. She keeps talking about my aunt. You know, the old lady loves my aunt the most. So, my mother asked me to pick up my aunt and go back to see the old lady off."
Xin An was surprised, "Why is it so sudden?"
"The old lady has been seriously ill for some time. She is sometimes lucid and sometimes confused. She has been sleeping most of the time. Even when she is conscious, she is still talking about her aunt."
Li sighed and groaned, looking like a filial son and grandson. Xin An comforted her and told her that he had just heard Tao Yiran scream. "I was just about to go check, but my sister-in-law was gone."
Li looked towards Chunhuayuan and said, "What could be more important than the old lady right now?"
"My mother and the old lady at home are still waiting for my sister-in-law. I'll come to visit the second young master's wife after I'm done with my work."
Xin An nodded, "Please take care of yourself."
"Thank you very much."
Li led her people into Chunhua Garden. Just looking at the strong and sturdy maids she brought with her, you could tell how to "receive" the meeting.
Xin An turned around and went back to the yard, standing in front of the water tank admiring her fish. Li had some tricks up her sleeve, so no noise came from next door. But half an incense stick later, Tao Yiran came out wearing a bamboo hat, and she didn't look like she was being threatened.
"Sister-in-law."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Xin An stood at the door with a calm expression, "Sister-in-law is coming home to see off Old Madam Tao. Please take care of yourself."
Although she didn't know what kind of deal Tang Gang and the Tao family had reached, one thing was certain: Tao Yiran would never come back after this trip.
The road before her is her road to the underworld.
Tao Yiran resisted the itch on her face and said, "Thank you for seeing me off, sister-in-law. Please take care of yourself too."
There was some joy in her voice.
Li told her that the Prince of Nanguang had already made arrangements for her, and that when she left the house this time, she would be arranged to fake her own death in a reasonable manner, and then be with the Prince in the name of a girl from the Tao family's branch.
After this trip, she will never return to the Marquis' Mansion.
It was a pity that she had not received the news earlier, and had not made proper arrangements for Xin An and Tang Mo, thus eliminating the possibility of Tang Mo having offspring. She had to get rid of the baby in Xin An's belly, and then deal with Nu'er. In this way, her Chun Lang would be the only heir to this marquisate.
When her beauty is no longer faded, she can come back to live out her days in the name of the old lady of the Marquis's Mansion.
Glancing at Aunt Liu beside him through a veil, he suddenly said, "I'm really in a hurry today, and I have some things to tell you. Aunt Liu, please come with me."
"Sister-in-law, please wait a moment."
Aunt Liu, who was still worried about whether Wang would keep her promise to keep her, became nervous and turned around and followed her back to Chunhua Courtyard. Li didn't mind waiting a little longer and just stood there chatting with Xin An.
When Tao Yiran came out again, there was no sign of Aunt Liu behind her. In response to Li's question, she only said, "I asked her to pack some clothes for me and send them home later. We'll leave first."
Li was unwilling to do so, but Aunt Liu knew the inside story and decided to leave together.
Unfortunately, Tao Yiran was very persistent, and Li could only temporarily endure it. The group walked to the front yard, where Wang was already waiting. After a few polite words, she looked at the maids and asked, "Why don't you see Aunt Liu?"
"My daughter-in-law told her to pack a few bags and leave later."
Wang nodded, this saved her a lot of trouble.
