The bride entered the wrong bridal chamber, and the news spread like wildfire in the mansion. Tang Rong and Tao Yiran's Chunhua Courtyard was in turmoil before dawn, and the servants were terrified, but they were quickly calmed down by Tang Rong.
After a moment of chaos, Qiushiyuan, which was separated by a wall, was calmed down by Tang Mo's roar.
When Wang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law arrived at Qiushi Courtyard, Tang Mo and Xin An had already gotten up and put on yesterday's wedding dresses. They knew what to do next without having to discuss it.
The two who hadn't woken up yet, one had red and swollen eyes and looked downcast, pretending to be heartbroken, and the other was very irritable after waking up, but if he didn't say it, who would know that he was angry because he hadn't woken up?
Seeing Xin An still had swollen eyelids, Wang came forward and took her hand, "Good child, you have been wronged."
Tang Mo was furious, gritting his teeth, "Last night, after I realized I was wrong, I went to look for my elder brother, but I didn't expect him to act so quickly. He had said goodbye to me at the gate, but when I went to look for him, he had already gone to bed. Was he so impatient to make things a fait accompli?"
"He's already so drunk that he can't even recognize himself, and he can still have a wedding night? He's really capable."
With Tang Mo's output, Xin An only had to lower her eyes and shed tears. She felt relieved for no reason. When she was with Tang Rong before, he was just a pushover and she had to fight for everything personally. When he got benefits, not only did he not thank her, but he also complained about her.
"Big brother must give me an explanation for this matter."
Tang Mo showed a relentless attitude.
The old lady was partial to him to begin with, and now she thinks he is a good person. He didn't make a fuss even after suffering such a great injustice. He is considerate of the overall situation. Compared with him, the couple next door is simply incomprehensible.
"Good boy, grandma knows you have been wronged, but it has already happened, and you have no choice but to accept it even if you are unwilling."
The old lady tried her best to persuade Xin An, and after Wang had comforted Xin An for a long time, she tried to pressure Tang Mo to agree, "He is your eldest brother. Even if he did something wrong, your grandmother and father will talk to him. You have no right to shout."
"Xin An is a good girl. It is your blessing to marry her. Don't be ungrateful for what you have."
"What do you think he did? The second kid has already been wronged in this matter, and as a mother, you not only don't comfort him, but you are also mean to him?"
After the old lady finished yelling at Wang, she softened her voice and said to Xin An, "Good boy, I know you have been wronged. Don't worry, I will not let you suffer in vain. I have already asked your father and mother to come over to discuss the matter and will definitely give you an explanation."
Xin An then nodded, "Thank you, grandma."
"Hey, good child, stop crying and dress yourself up. We are a beautiful new bride. Grandmother has a headpiece. The pigeon blood red on it is rare and suits you very well. I will send it to you later. How about wearing it today?"
"Everything is arranged by grandma."
Xin An knew about that set of headgear. In her previous life, after she got married, she tried her best to please the old lady. Once, the old lady almost had a stroke and she was discovered in time and rescued, so she gave it to her. As soon as she got it, Tang Rong said that she was the eldest grandson's wife in the marquis's mansion and should be steady. Such a luxurious and eye-catching headgear was not suitable for her, but more suitable for Tao Yiran.
At that time, she was blind and blind. She listened to Tang Rong and gave the headgear to Tao Yiran. Tao Yiran kept making excuses, but finally accepted it reluctantly and put it on her head the next day. For this, she made the old lady unhappy, and all her previous efforts were in vain.
Now when I think of these things, I can't help but want to beat myself to death, what a loser!
Seeing that she was so considerate of the overall situation, the old lady was very satisfied. After a glance, Wang smiled and said that she had prepared a pair of gold bracelets inlaid with gemstones for her daughter-in-law, "It should match the mother's headdress."
After saying that, she ordered someone to get them. Only those who have experienced poverty know how valuable and precious these things are. After the Marquis's Mansion was confiscated, so many people from top to bottom depended on her for support. Although she had some items that her mother had asked someone to send to her, everyone knew that something had happened to the Tang family, so even if she sold them, she couldn't get a good price. At that time, she was always anxious until dawn, and her money was very tight.
Xin An stood up and bowed, "With grandma and mother here, I feel much more at ease. Thank you grandma, thank you mother."
As soon as the two of them left, the stuff was delivered to them. Seeing the glittering headgear, Tang Mo clicked his tongue twice, "I remember this headgear fell on your head before, but you couldn't use it and couldn't keep it."
Xin An picked up a hairpin with a cloud pattern and a bird and sighed, "The mansion was raided at that time, and nothing could be taken away. I don't know who ended up with this thing."
Ignoring Tang Mo's questioning look, she turned around and asked Chunyang to come in and help her with her makeup. Chunyang still had red eyes, but because Tang Mo was there, she didn't dare to speak.
"What kind of dress will the girl wear?"
She felt that since the girl loved the prince so much, the marriage between her and the second young master would definitely not be possible in the end.
"I'm newly married, so of course I have to wear something festive to match this headgear."
She had worn the best clothes and the most beautiful jewelry since she was a child, and she liked the bustle of flowers and splendor, but Tang Rong liked simplicity and elegance, so she also dressed plainly to cater to his taste, like a nun all day long.
Now she doesn't like plain and dull clothes, and she doesn't want to see the widowed look she had in her previous life.
"I picked out all the plain clothes in my box and gave them to you. You can do whatever you want with them, but you are not allowed to show them in front of me."
Seeing that she didn't look too sad, Mrs. Wang, who had calmed down, smiled and said, "I said it at home. The second young master's wife is beautiful. Why does she have to wear such plain clothes at such a young age? The master used to say that he worked hard just to make his family live a good life, wearing the most luxurious brocade and the most dazzling jewelry."
"Many married ladies in Kyoto wear red and green, competing with each other in beauty, which is pleasing to the eye."
Xin An's eyes were red again. Isn't it true? Did her father work so hard to make money just for her to go to great lengths to pave the way for Tang Rong?
"I was wrong before. Okay, this marriage is already like this and cannot be changed. From now on, I will be the second young lady of the Marquis' Mansion. You go and meet the second young master."
Tang Mo raised his eyebrows. Does this woman want to rely on him?
Then he thought, this woman is very calculating. She wants to take everything she sees for herself. She is very compatible with him. It is not impossible to make do with him.
It's better than Tao Yiran, who is the best at betraying his own people.
Mrs. Wang brought the people she brought from the Xin family to pay their respects to Tang Mo. Tang Mo was quite generous and gave each of them twelve taels of silver, saying that it was for good luck.
In this case, Xin An was not stingy and also rewarded each of the Tang family servants in the yard with twelve taels.
Twelve taels is the monthly salary these people can earn in a year. The moment they get it, they are all overjoyed and kowtow very hard. Xin An suddenly feels happy.
She gave generously, and the people below thanked her happily. Everyone was happy, and no one said that she was money-minded and vulgar.
The laughter of Qiushi Courtyard spread to Chunhua Courtyard, which was separated by a wall. Tang Rong, who had returned to wait for the results, didn't know what was going on. He was talking to Tao Yiran in the bedroom.
