Chapter 552: Tang Gang Being Scolded by Everyone
The Queen Mother had been ill for a long time, and all the families had made sufficient preparations, so it was not too surprising. Cuiping asked everyone in the courtyard to kowtow in the direction of the palace, and supported Xin An and said, "We will be busy next."
Soon Wang also arrived at Qiushi Courtyard. At this time, Tang Gang had already gone to the palace to mourn. She would also go tomorrow. "You don't have to go. Second brother, if you can still move, go to Beiya Army. You have to go if you can."
“It’s going to be a busy month.”
She would have to go to the palace to mourn for the deceased for 27 days. She didn't know how she would endure it. Xin An knew the rules. "Mother, don't worry about going to the palace. I can still move. I will take care of the affairs in the palace."
Wang didn't bother to be polite with her. The old lady also wanted to go to the palace to see her off, and she had to take care of her too, so she was really too busy to do it.
Tang Mo did not delay, changed his clothes and went out. In such a big event, he had to hold on even if he only had one breath left.
A night passed, and at dawn the next day, all the colorful flags and signs in the city were taken down, the girls took off their bright and colorful clothes, and the voices of loud conversation in teahouses and restaurants became much quieter, as if everything had stopped.
Tang Gang breathed a sigh of relief. According to the rules, the emperor should accumulate blessings for the empress dowager. Even if Tang Rong's guilt was proven to be solid, he would still be able to survive. Moreover, the matter could be delayed for some time, and many things could be explained.
Under such circumstances, he cried particularly sadly and hard when he was mourning.
After the Empress Dowager passed away, the Emperor suspended court for three days to express his grief.
Although the morning court was suspended, the work of each department did not stop. The adults in mourning were still busy. Tang Mo, who was injured, did not dare to stop and was busy preparing for the empress dowager's funeral.
He did not hide the injuries on his back from anyone. Sometimes, he was too busy to open his clothes, and blood seeped through his clothes. If you got close to him, you could smell the blood.
"You can't do this. You should go back and rest for two days. It won't be too late to go back to work after your wounds have scabbed over."
Tang Mo sent Wang to the palace. Just as he was about to leave, he met the old lady of the Zhang family. Seeing the bloodstains on his back, she felt very distressed.
Tang Mo stepped forward to support the old lady, "It's already scabbing over. I just got busy and forgot about it. I moved a little too much and it tore the wound open. I'll just go back and change my clothes later."
"How can that be possible?"
Old Mrs. Zhang said that she had seen blood from a wound stick to clothes, and the clothes could not be taken off. She had to tear the wound open with a little force. "When will it heal if it keeps happening like this?"
Tang Mo said: "It's wrapped in cloth. I'll go back and rebandage it in a while. Don't worry, it's just a skin injury, not serious."
"Be careful and get more rest when you return home."
The old lady sighed and decided to go back and tell the old man to talk to Tang Gang and ask him to find out what grudge he had that made him beat him like this.
After the old lady entered the palace gate, Tang Mo took a breath of cold air. It was really painful. This beating came at a really bad time. He was so busy right after being beaten.
Just as I was about to leave, a few more adults came out of the palace. They were all people I knew, so I had to say hello.
"Uncle, are you going back to your residence or to the government office?"
"Old man, please slow down. Go back home and rub your knees with medicinal wine. You have to kneel again tomorrow."
"Have a good time, everyone. I have something else to do. Excuse me."
Chang Hou looked at him carefully and asked, "How is your back injury?"
"It's just a superficial wound, nothing serious."
Tang Mo pretended to be relaxed, "My father wouldn't have the heart to beat me to death, right?"
If it weren't for the smell of blood on his body, everyone would have believed it. Chang Hou said, "It's okay for a man to get hurt. This is a critical moment. You can't slack off and you can't make any mistakes."
"Thank you for your advice, uncle. I've made note of it."
After he left, some people shook their heads. Some people said that Tang Gang was blinded by lard and was "very confused."
As he was talking, he saw Tang Gang coming out of the palace rubbing his knees. When he saw a few people, Tang Gang went up to them and exchanged a few words. Marquis Chang said, "My Lord, it's not that I want to interfere in your family affairs, but it's really that you hit too hard. The second son is brave, resourceful, and open-minded. He is also responsible for the safety of half of the capital. It's inappropriate for you to beat him like this when he didn't do anything serious."
"Yes, the Queen Mother's funeral is held, and there are many rules for the coffin to go to. The Second Young Master has a heavy responsibility. Now he is on duty with an injury. I am worried that he will collapse. If something goes wrong, who will take the responsibility?"
"Your Majesty is known far and wide as a loving father, so why are you so harsh on the Second Young Master?"
Several people were talking back and forth, making Tang Gang unable to swallow or spit out blood. He was really aggrieved. He wanted to defend himself but had nothing to say. He could only sigh and said, "Excuse me, everyone. It's not that I want to hit him hard. It's just that bastard who is outrageous."
"I think your second son is quite good. He has a methodical way of doing things and is very likable."

A powerful voice came from behind. This was the old man of the Yin family. The Yin family had been prosperous for seven or eight generations and was quite prestigious both in the court and in the capital.
"Mr. Yin, you are also entering the palace?"
Everyone greeted him, and Old Master Yin said, "There are not many of our generation left alive, and the Empress Dowager has also passed away, so naturally we have to come and see her off."
His eyes fell on Tang Gang, "My Lord, you are lucky. The second young master of the mansion is a great man."
"Mr. Yin is joking. Who is he?"
Elder Yin said: "Although it is right to be strict with children and grandchildren, we cannot suppress them blindly. We should always see their outstanding qualities."
In fact, he didn't know much about Tang Mo. He only knew that his favorite grandson at home always mentioned Tang Mo. His grandson was a playboy, and he couldn't be taught well no matter how he was scolded or beaten. Later, he and Tang Mo formed a Cuju team. He thought, let's do it. It can improve health, as long as he doesn't commit crimes.
Who would have known that after following Tang Mo into the Beiya Army, he seemed like a different person, working diligently from morning till night, and hadn’t asked for leave or slacked off once in the three months he had been there. If Tang Mo could make his grandson change like this, then he was not a jerk.
Then several adults spoke up for Tang Mo. These people were either the second prince's men or had sons who were with Tang Mo in the Northern Army. They were much better than before. Although they still had plenty of wine and fun, they were doing serious work. How could it not be considered a happy event? Shouldn't they say a few words for Tang Mo? Tang Gang had become the target of attack. The familiar feeling of dizziness came over him. Marquis Chang quickly helped him up, otherwise he would have fallen. Seeing this, everyone stopped talking and said goodbye and left.
Tang Gang soon fell ill. At this time, he could not do anything except making himself sick. He was ready to investigate Tang Rong's matter at all costs, but he could not do it at all. He was not given the opportunity to intervene. The emperor was not able to see him, and the court officials attacked him because Tang Mo was beaten. He really had no face left.
The court doctor examined him and said that the depression was caused by heartache and needed to be slowly recuperated.
The old lady went to see him in person and was extremely disappointed to learn that he had not yet expressed his opinion in front of the emperor. "Since you can't speak, I will go for you tomorrow."
