Chapter 535: Evidence That Can Kill Tang Rong
The matter of Tao Yiran's suicide was still being discussed by gossipers, but the news that the Prince of Nanguang was demoted for failing to perform his duties and angering the emperor was like a gust of wind blowing through the capital. Various families in the court were trying to find out the truth. He was a man trusted by the emperor, so how could he suddenly be promoted from a prince to a duke?
Even the Crown Prince's Mansion and the Second Prince's Mansion were inquiring, wanting to know what the mission was.
Some people even speculated that it was the events recorded in the booklet left by the Earl of Pingshun that brought disaster to the Prince of Nanguang.
Tang Gang and Lord Tao kept silent, as if nothing had happened.
"You really don't know?"
Lin Yao, who was staying at the mansion to take care of her pregnancy, could not help but go to the Marquis' Mansion. "I heard that Lord Tao and your father-in-law went to the Imperial Study first, and then Nan Guang, no, Duke Shen went there first. The Prince went in and the Duke came out, so there must be something wrong here."
Xin soothed her belly and said, "These days, all matters in the mansion have returned to my mother-in-law's hands. All I have left is to take care of the baby. I haven't left the house and I've become blind for a long time."
"but."
She glanced around and when she turned back, Lin Yao had already stretched her neck towards her, looking like she was waiting to hear what was going on. She immediately suppressed her smile and told her, "Although I don't know the details, I know it has something to do with my sister-in-law who committed suicide."
Lin Yao took a breath and asked, "You mean these two people?"
Xin An said it was hard to say, "I figured it out myself."
Lin Yao had a good relationship with her, but it wasn't to the point where they had to tell each other everything, and besides, some things should just be kept to themselves.
"No, how did these two get together?"
Lin Yao was puzzled, but soon she figured it out, "She looks affectionate to any man she looks at, and Duke Shen is the kind of person who can't control himself, so it's possible that they are having an affair."
Xin An pretended to ask her to keep her voice down, "I don't have any evidence, so don't tell anyone."
"Don't worry, I'm not afraid of your father-in-law causing trouble."
Lin Yao naturally knew what she could say and what she couldn't say, "Forget it, when a person dies, their debts are settled. I won't talk about her anymore."
I wanted to say congratulations to Xin An, because no one in the mansion would compete with her in the future. But then I felt that it was inappropriate to say this, because Tang Rong could still marry again.
Thinking of Tang Rong's impeachment, he had a vague feeling that the man in front of him was the driving force behind the current situation of Tang Rong and Tao Yiran. But he didn't think it was the right man because he looked so honest. But after careful consideration, everyone knew that Tang Mo was not favored by Tang Gang, but he had gained a lot of benefits. If Tang Rong was impeached again and made a bigger mistake, he would lose his position as the prince. In this case, "Sister Xin, I will toast you with water instead of wine."
"ah?"
"Drink it."
Lin Yao's mind was as clear as a mirror at this moment. If her guess was correct, Tang Rong would not be able to escape.
His eyes fell on Xin An's belly, and he couldn't help but feel curious again, "You've only been pregnant for a few months, why is your belly so big?"
"Twins."
Lin Yao was very surprised, but she also understood what she meant by not caring about anything now. "No wonder your mother-in-law doesn't let you get involved in anything. She's really good at keeping things secret."
Then he asked worriedly, "I feel very uncomfortable when I am pregnant, how are you doing?"
"It's OK. I can eat and drink."
In this respect, she is better than many pregnant women.
Lin Yao smiled and said, "That's right. I can tell from your complexion that you feel better than me."
The two hadn't seen each other for some time, so they had to talk about family matters. Since they were both pregnant, they had more topics to talk about. They were so excited that they didn't even notice how time had slipped by.
When Tang Mo came back, Yan Shimao followed him. He was worried and came to pick him up personally. When he learned that Xin An was pregnant with twins, Yan Shimao was very envious and looked Tang Mo up and down, "Do you have any secret recipe for having children that you didn't tell me?"
Tang Mo smiled and waved his hands, "It's all a gift from God. If I had it, how could I dare to keep it to myself?"
"We'll have dinner at the mansion tonight. We haven't been together for a long time. Let's have a drink."
Yan Shimao refused, "Don't laugh so happily. It's even more inappropriate to have a drink in the mansion at this time. You should be more cautious and don't show off."
"Let's go back first and make an appointment later."
Tang Mo sent the two out of the house. After getting in the car, Lin Yao told Yan Shimao the news and her own guesses. Yan Shimao was not surprised at all, and even felt it was reasonable. "Second brother Tang is the legitimate son. Which legitimate son in the court can be disliked by his father like him? Why doesn't he make plans on his own and wait for the benefits to fall from the world?"
"If the second brother Tang can squeeze out the one above, it will be a good thing for us. We have to give him a push when the time is right."
Lin Yao nodded and said with a smile: "Xin's sister looks harmless, and now she rarely goes out. Maybe she is the military advisor of the second brother Tang."
"Definitely."

Yan Shimao said that he knew Tang Mo's situation before marriage very well. After marriage, he changed completely. Even his style of doing things was different from before. "He learned to hide his edge and became more smooth and thoughtful than before."
Not long after the two of them left, Wang came back from the Tao family. She didn't bother to explain anything to Tang Mo and Xin An. After Tang Gang came back, the two of them went into the bedroom to discuss the next steps.
The next morning, Wang led people to Chunhua Courtyard. Tao Yiran ended up dying in a relatively glorious way. Before committing suicide, he even divorced himself for the sake of the reputation of the Marquis' Mansion. Although he knew the inside story, he still wanted to keep up appearances.
"Count them all according to the list."
Wang opened the warehouse and took Tao Yiran's dowry list to count them one by one. These things would either be left to Chunlang or sent back to the Tao family, and all had to be discussed with the Tao family in the end.
The servants began to get busy. Pingqiu led people into Tao Yiran's bedroom. Aunt Liu had already fled, leaving behind a few maids as dowry. Wang sent her back to the Tao family early this morning. Looking at the furnishings in the room, Wang sighed softly. No matter how bad it was, once the hatred in a person's heart was gone, it would be reduced by two points.
Pingqiu began to count the items in the house. Seeing the jewelry in the box, he said, "If Madam hadn't taken over Chunhua Courtyard earlier, I'm afraid these things would have been taken away by Aunt Liu."
"Aunt Liu was able to escape unscathed because of Madam's kindness."
In Pingqiu's eyes, the madam had already given Aunt Liu a way to live, but she still wanted to take advantage of the situation to steal her master's money and jewelry. She should not be let go so easily.
Wang twitched the corner of her mouth. It was simply because she was going to have a grandson and didn't want to commit a sin.
"Why does Tao have so many banknotes?"
Ping Qiu found a box filled with banknotes, "No less than ten thousand taels."
"Hey, there's a letter underneath."
Pingqiu gave the letter to Wang. Wang recognized that it was written by Tang Rong. She didn't want to read it at first, but then she thought of something and took out the letter. She just took a quick glance at it and her eyes became bloodshot.
That bastard was thousands of miles away and still didn't forget to harm his family. He couldn't even tolerate an unborn child! (End of this chapter)
