Chapter 550 The Old Lady's Decision
Tang Gang whipped Tang Mo, not holding back in his rage. Although it was only a superficial wound, the scars on his back were intertwined under his clothes. The court doctor cleaned the wound skillfully, complaining in his heart that Tang Gang was too cruel, beating his own son like this.
Wang supported the old lady and went to see it in person. The old lady's eyes immediately turned red. "What kind of serious matter is it to beat the second son like this?"
Wang helped her out of the door, lowering her head and pressing her eyelids, "I heard that the eldest son was impeached for his misconduct while in office. The Marquis must be angry. The second son is a bastard and is not considerate. He spoke without restraint at this time and made his father angry, so he was beaten."
"But mother, the eldest son is thousands of miles away. Who knows what he did? How can you blame the second son?"
The old lady then remembered that Xin An had just mentioned this matter, "What happened to the boss?"
Wang told the old lady what she had heard, "I heard that the emperor has sent people to investigate. We have to investigate to find out the truth."
"I don't believe that the old man is corrupt. Before he left, the Marquis gave him a lot of money to take with him, and he would send him some money every few months. He shouldn't be short of money. There may be some misunderstanding here. Things in the court cannot be judged superficially. Now I'm afraid we can only wait for the results."
The old lady felt dizzy for a while, but fortunately she had taken good care of herself during this period and was able to hold on. "This is really an injustice. I will go and ask in person. You stay here and watch over the second child."
At this time, the old lady didn't care about Xin An and was eager to know the inside story. Wang didn't know, but Tang Gang must have known.
In the front yard, Tang Gang had calmed down by now, feeling somewhat regretful. It was not because he felt sorry for Tang Mo, but because he was afraid that this matter would get out and cause trouble again. How would he explain that the second son still had to go on duty?
"Go and see what's going on. Use some better medicine. Don't delay your work tomorrow."
He thought it was just a superficial wound and not serious.
Manager Zhang hadn't left yet when the old lady came. Tang Gang stood up quickly and asked, "Mother, haven't you rested yet?"
"How can I sleep in this situation?"
The old lady sat down straight away. "Tell me what the boss is like. Is the impeachment of him just a figment of the imagination or is it true? Don't tell me you don't know."
"My son will handle these matters on his own. Mother doesn't need to worry."
He blamed Wang in his heart for making a fuss and alarming the old lady. If something happened to the old lady, wouldn't it be even more chaotic?
"If you could handle it yourself, you wouldn't have beaten your dick like that."
The old lady looked at him coldly, "Just tell me, did you know about the boss's matter in advance?"
Tang Gang didn't say anything, his face was solemn, and the old lady almost fainted from his attitude. "It seems that he was not wronged."
"What is the emperor's attitude now? Can this matter be reduced to a small matter?"
Tang Gang took a deep breath and told the old lady that Tang Rong had been impeached earlier. The emperor had given him a chance at that time, and he had sent people to Songyang County. "It's still too late. None of the things Zhao Tong impeached today were wrongful. If it was an ordinary matter, he could have dealt with it, but now there is no possibility of resolving the matter. There are thousands of households in Songyang County, and it is impossible to stop them."
"It's only a matter of time before there's solid evidence. If there are more victims filing a complaint, I'll be lucky to be alive."
He finished these words with great difficulty, "My son was powerless to stop this, and felt sad. But the bastard Second Brother was still speaking rudely, so my son was so angry that he asked for the family discipline."
The old lady didn't say anything else. Compared to Tang Mo's current situation, she was more worried about the future of the Marquisate. "Your father earned a title with all his military merits and illnesses. The emperor wanted to confer him an earl, but the old prince insisted on giving him the title of marquis. Originally, the title could be inherited for three generations. After three generations, if there was no great merit, the title would be demoted. But now it's only been two generations for you."
Tang Gang's shoulders slumped, and he felt as if a huge stone weighed a thousand pounds on his heart. The old lady paused for a moment, then looked up at Tang Gang again, "Go and apologize. You can't save your eldest son, but you can't lose your title either. If so, how can you and I face your father a hundred years later?"
Tang Gang knew the reason very well, but he still wanted to make a final struggle, "Things haven't come to that final step yet. If the boss was deceived by his subordinates, it would be a crime of negligence at most. If his son and mother do their best to protect him, the title can still fall on him."
"If we abandon him now, he will really have nothing."
"That kid hasn't had a peaceful day in the past year. He married a wife who was still so wicked. Now he's been through something like this. If we don't help him, he's really finished."
The old lady just stared at him for a long time, causing him to avoid her gaze unconsciously. Finally, she turned her head away and said, "My son is just trying to protect him from a father's perspective."
The old lady sneered, "You still care about your face at this time. You know in your heart that you owe the second son, and you don't want people to say that the eldest son you carefully raised is not as good as the second son you despise, and that you are a bad parent."
"It's better to say that I want to protect your face than to say that I want to protect the boss."
The old lady understood him and mercilessly tore off his fig leaf. "I didn't say anything about you being partial to the eldest brother before. Your five fingers are not the same length. It's rare for parents to be impartial. But now is not the time for you to continue being confused."
"How can the boss inherit the title in this situation? Even if you and I forcibly protect him, the court will not give him another chance. At most, he can only get an idle job with a title. What future does the Marquisate have? It will become the biggest joke in the entire capital."
Once the old lady saw the situation clearly, she became extremely clear-headed and more decisive than Tang Gang.

"He is not the only one in the Marquis' Mansion. There is also the Second Brother. I think the Second Brother is pretty good. He has performed very well over the past year. Ask yourself, how much have you helped him to get to where he is today?"
"Marrying a virtuous wife is the boss's own choice."
If I had not been obsessed with marrying Tao, how could I have ended up in this situation today?
One wrong step, all wrong.
"Tomorrow you will go and plead guilty, saying that the people you sent earlier have just reported back. Don't sleep tonight, try to look as haggard as possible, and offer to strip him of his title of Crown Prince and replace him with the second in command."
"It's better for you to take the initiative than to be passive. No matter what, the title cannot be lost."
Tang Gang closed his eyes and nodded after a long while, "Son, I understand."
The old lady sighed deeply, and seeing that he looked older and more haggard, she felt distressed and did not continue to talk to him, "Think about what you want to say, and don't worry about the affairs of the mansion in the next two days."
She had to give an explanation to Wang, and naturally, the old woman couldn't continue to be blind at this time.
At this time, Tang Mo's wound had been patched up, and he was not feeling well, and had fallen asleep. The old lady came forward to take a closer look, and said a few words of concern. Xin An supported him and stood alone in front of the bed, "The court doctor said that we need to keep an eye on him at night. His injury is quite serious, and he is afraid of a high fever. Fortunately, this weather is suitable for wound healing."
The old lady felt bad looking at the couple, one lying on his stomach with a big belly and unable to move, "Let Lailai watch over you at night. Nothing can happen to you. Take good care of yourself."
