Chapter 537: Clean up and bring Tang Rong to the table
Tang Mo got the news from Wang that Li had personally tricked Tao Yiran into writing a suicide note and a divorce letter. Tao Yiran was reluctant at first, but after several doubts, she convinced her with her eloquence. "She even coaxed the woman into drinking the medicine happily, and Madam Tao was watching the whole process."
"Madam Tao collapsed afterwards, but she handled the funerals of two people in an orderly manner as if nothing had happened. Now people outside say that she is a good housekeeper and a person who can accomplish things."
Xin An said that this was not ruthless, "It was about turning the tide. If there was no such person to take the lead at this time, the Tao family would definitely fail."
"I used to think my mother's skills were a little lacking, but compared to Madam Tao, she is already an expert. The harem is the world of the women. She knew her mother-in-law would teach her daughter bad things, but she didn't try her best to stop her. Either she is incompetent or she has other ideas in her mind."
Although she looked down on her mother-in-law's background, she did rely on her own abilities to climb to the most honorable position in the Tao family, so she actually hoped that her daughter would also learn those skills. She even hoped that Tao Yiran would be able to bring benefits to the Tao family with what she had learned and make her proud.
If something went wrong, it would naturally be the old lady's fault. She was just a poor daughter-in-law who was oppressed by her mother-in-law.
"She played a very scheming game, but in the end, nothing happened. Without that young lady, the Tao family would be in a mess."
Tang Mo helped her into the house. As a former victim, he felt deeply about marrying a virtuous wife. Looking at the life he had lived in his previous life and then looking at the life he was living now, although he was a little tired, he was full of hope.
After entering the house and sitting down, Xin An said, "My father sent me a letter. He has asked the merchants in Songyang County to come to the capital. They will arrive in about a month. Please send someone to pick them up when they arrive."
Tang Mo agreed with a smile, and at the same time he understood what she meant, "When they arrive, I will arrange for them to sit in a teahouse or wine shop, especially where Zhao Tong is."
The two discussed for a while and finally decided to achieve their goal through Zhao Tong.
With Prime Minister Ouyang's support, Zhao Tong will be invincible. If he is afraid, the second step is to use many methods.
Tang Rong's dish is finally ready to be served.
It rained for two days in a row. When it cleared up again, the sky was a little cooler. The leaves from the branches fell to the ground, from dense to sparse and mottled.
The news of Tao Yiran's suicide and the demotion of Duke Shenguo had been circulating in the capital for a few days before it lost its novelty. After the Tao family had handled the funeral, Lord Tao came to the marquis's residence in person and brought with him the matchmaker for Tao Yiran as a witness.
At the scene, no matter how Tang Gang tried to keep the Tao family, they had to follow Tao Yiran's regret and leave the Marquis' Mansion.
The matchmaker was also very sad, and finally, under Lord Tao's strong insistence, Tang Gang nodded "painfully" and agreed to the matter. He also promised to return Tao Yiran's dowry and treat Chunlang well.
The Tao family had been almost emptied by Tang Gang, and later Duke Shen brought a few more boxes as compensation. It would be even better if they could have Tao Yiran's dowry to support them. After thinking it over again and again, Lord Tao nodded, but he still decided to leave 30% for Chunlang.
With a mother like that, Chunlang's future can be imagined. With some money to support himself, life will not be too difficult. This is the last thing he, as a grandfather, can do for his grandson.
When the dowry was carried out of the Marquis' Mansion and returned to the Tao family, the families in the court truly believed that Tao Yi had divorced them, and they believed even more that she had been bewitched by Old Madam Tao.
From that day on, the Tao family closed their doors to visitors and the entire household began a period of mourning, as if what was happening in the city had nothing to do with the Tao family anymore.
The most relaxed person in the whole mansion is only Li. There is no old lady with a bad reputation, no sister-in-law who may make trouble at any time, and the mother-in-law is also crumbling under the blow. The Tao family is completely under her control, and she only needs to wait for the end of the mourning period for the Tao family to revive.
At this time, envoys from other countries arrived, and a new round of excitement began in the capital. The affairs of the Tao Family Mansion and the Duke of Shen soon became uninteresting, and people focused on the goods brought by the caravans behind the envoys.
"One is called Baichu, and the other is called Nanluo. Baichu is okay, and I heard it's not much smaller than ours. The Nanluo country is said to be on the other side of the sea, and they speak in a gibberish language, and have curly hair on their heads."
"The goods they brought were really good. Baichu brought all kinds of blankets, saying they were made of wool. Nanluoguo brought a lot of spices and all kinds of jewelry. Many of the jewelry were inlaid with gems, and I don't know if they were real or fake."
"The food is good, but we can't understand the language. It's all gibberish. Even if we can speak our language, it's not smooth."
Nan Feng came back after getting some information from outside, and he said that the palace was going to hold a banquet. Because the other party had female relatives, the emperor asked the invited courtiers to bring their female relatives with them, "The Marquis will also go."
“It should be.”
After all, he was a powerful marquis, so he should be present. "You said those people couldn't speak the same language?"
"I heard that he could say something, but the pronunciation was strange. He said that the girl's eyes were very big. It took a long time for people to guess that he meant that the girl's eyes were very beautiful."
Nanfeng laughed happily, Xin An also laughed, but she was wondering in her heart if there was anyone in the envoy team who could speak clearly. If not, her second uncle could. When he was in Huaijiang, he always dealt with those curly-haired people, and they could speak fluently.
At this time, a maid came to report, "Madam, the stewards Yang and Xiaolin from the manor are here."

Xin An glanced at the sky and raised her hand. Chun Yang quickly stepped forward to help her stand up. "The autumn harvest on the farm should have been finished by now. They may be here to deliver the autumn grain."
Xin An said that she was the one who called the people here. She had a farm, so she had to take care of it, didn't she? In the front yard, Manager Yang was no longer the same Manager Yang. Since last year, there were pig and chicken farms on the farm. The wild grass in the fields could be eaten by chickens and pigs, and the chicken and pig manure could fertilize the land. As a result, the crops, chickens and pigs were all doing well. Later, a few cows were added. In the spring of this year, many fruit trees were planted, not to mention the flower beds on the farm. There was also a greenhouse that was about to be opened. It was simply thriving.
"The autumn pears are growing well this year. The herbal medicine shop has ordered a batch, and the grocery store has also ordered a lot. The pomegranates are also selling well. I want to ask the second young master's wife, this year's autumn grain has been stored in the warehouse, I wonder when it will be delivered?"
"Let's send it on a nice day."
Xin An was very satisfied with Manager Yang's ability. "How are your pigs and chickens?"
"Replying to Madam Second Young Master, very good."
Manager Yang said that the pigs would not be slaughtered until next year, but the chickens were all grown up. "We can get 50 to 60 eggs every day, most of which are sold at the herbal medicine shop and grocery store. Today, we sent 200 eggs to the second young master's wife. They were all newly obtained in the past few days and are fresh."
Xin An smiled and asked her to make the accounts. "We can share the money with everyone during the New Year holidays. After a tiring year, we always need something to look forward to."
