In Qiushi Courtyard, seeing Xin An still in the mood to sit and drink bird's nest porridge leisurely, Tang Mo began to speak in a sarcastic tone.
"You are so generous. You just said you don't want 30% of the dowry."
Xin An put down the bowl slowly and said, "Although changing the bride is not a glorious thing, it is the people from the Marquis' Mansion who are lost, so it will not have much impact on your good brother."
"When outsiders ask about this, they will define it as a romantic affair, a joke in a few words. When they swallow a glass of bitter wine, they will laugh bitterly and say sorry to me, and even give me 30% of his mother's dowry. What kind of person do you think I will be in the eyes of those people?"
"Besides, don't you know how much dowry is left?"
All the good stuff was stolen by this mother and son, and they said that Tang Gang and Tang Rong had used them. The remaining things look big, but how much are they worth?
After saying that, he did not forget to mock Tang Mo, "Your father's work is really interesting. It's not unfair that he died so miserably in the end."
"Tell me about it."
Tang Mo was quite interested, "Let me be happy."
His father is a biased guy, and has been biased since he can remember. He gives all the good things to Tang Rong, and only those that Tang Rong doesn't want will be his turn. Tang Rong is also a bit pretentious, and will show off the things that Tang Rong has been thinking about but can't get when there are many people around, and then give them to him very "sincerely", so that he gets a reputation for being humble and polite.
As for him, of course he is the son of a step-wife who wants to grab everything and is not worthy of being in public.
Xin An turned his shoulders and said, "Don't tell me, it's bad luck."
Tang Mo refused to give up, "So do you think his death was tragic?"
"Not bad."
Xin An told the truth, "My children and grandchildren were by my bedside, and I died contentedly."
Tang Mo rolled his eyes. Xin An curled his lips and kindly gave him some advice, "He's your biological father. Can you restrain your expression of wishing him dead? Learn from your eldest brother. He cares about you but is actually stingy. He's a typical good boy."
"Let me tell you, your father doesn't really like you as his good brother. He just likes you as his good brother because he can make people proud. If you can make him proud, you will be his treasure."
"You performed well today, so the mission of the Northern Army will fall on you."
Tang Mo seemed to be thinking about something. He touched his chin and thought for a moment, then looked suspicious again, "Are you serious?"
"Do I have to lie to you?"
It took her many years to come to the conclusion that Tang Gang was a selfish person.
"You swear."
Tang Mo came forward and said, "If you lie to me, this scene is just a dream. When you wake up, you are still in your seventies or eighties. You are so angry with Tang Rong that you vomit blood, and you are also severely humiliated by Tang Rong."
How vicious!!!
Xin An pouted at him and said, "Believe it or not."
The two started bickering again, and after they finally stopped, Tang Mo asked again, "You don't want a dowry, and you don't want the housekeeper's rights? You used to be trying your best to get them."
"When did you become so generous?"
"Of course, it's after I suffered a loss." Xin An was still hoping to play double-act with him in the future, so he didn't hide it from him, "Go ask your mother if it's easy to run this family. Except for the old lady and you, no one in the family is rich."
"nonsense."
Tang Mo looked alert, "How can I be rich?"
Xin An smiled and stared at him with interest. "What do you think Tao Yiran did with the wealth you saved like a rat after you died?"
If Wang Shi had not died of grief after Tang Mo's death, she would not have had the opportunity to know how much wealth Tang Mo left behind. "At least half of it fell into my hands. Of course, it was eventually used for your good brother."
"Part of the remaining half was also used by your good brother."
Tang Mo's face turned pale and his heart was bleeding. The person was dead but the money was still there, and the money was spent by his mortal enemy. He wished he could be reborn immediately and spend all his family fortune within a day. If he couldn't spend it all, he would be dragged out and thrown into the river.
He glared at Xin An fiercely, gritting his teeth, "I really want to strangle you to death right now."
When he said this, Chunyang happened to come in to serve tea. He was so scared that the tea spilled out. Xin An lowered her eyes and pretended to cry. Chunyang was furious and put the tea heavily on the table, "Son-in-law, you are too much!!!"
Her girl had such a hard life, why did she marry this notorious second master?
Tang Mo
wanted to strangle the master and servant to death together.
As night fell, when Tang Rong learned from his biological father that half of his biological mother's dowry had been spent, he was very dissatisfied. He subconsciously thought that it was embezzled by his stepmother. But when he saw the records in the booklet, he was speechless.
Tang Gang meant that it would be best not to let outsiders know about this matter, after all, it would damage his reputation. Tang Rong agreed very much, as he also did not want outsiders to say that he was extravagant.
"I will give you all the dowry tomorrow, and it will be said that I have given it to you in full. Just accept it."
The father and son chose to remain silent, pretending nothing had happened, which just fulfilled Wang's wish. Tang Mo walked up to her and asked, "How is it?"
Wang smiled proudly, "Of course I accepted it quietly. Your father is very proud, so how could he let this matter spread? A marquis embezzled his deceased wife's dowry, and the censor's spit could drown him. Your eldest brother wants to preserve his reputation as a noble gentleman, so he would never say anything."
"These past few years, they've spent money recklessly to gain fame and reputation. Can you still remember how much they've spent?"
His eyes were full of sarcasm. "Besides, the dowry was not earned by their hard work. It's natural for them to spend other people's money. Do you expect them to pursue it?"
Shameless as hell!!!
Tang Mo's smile was very comfortable. It was not difficult for him to scheme against his biased father and his sanctimonious elder brother. He did not succeed in his previous life because Xin An always interfered. In this life, the other general was with him. Wouldn't it be easy to control the father and son?
It was good to care about reputation. The more he cared about it, the more chances he had.
Wang told Tang Mo not to have any more illusions about Tao Yiran. "I sent someone to inquire about Xin An. When she was at her mother's house, she helped her father with the outside affairs. Her brothers grew up with her and are very capable. If she is willing to help you, it would be your blessing."
"The Tao family is arrogant and pretentious. There is no need to worry about him."
Tang Mo naturally knew Xin An's abilities. He didn't expect Xin An to help him, as long as he didn't stop him.
As for Tao Yiran, he has suffered so much, how could he still be thinking about her?
"Don't worry, mother. I know what's going on."
Wang sighed, "Although your father can listen to me, he won't listen to anyone when it comes to Tang Rong. You have to fight for what you want by yourself."
"Fortunately, you now have help. You must seize the opportunity."
"Go back, don't rush to have sex, be a gentleman."
Tang Mo wanted to say that even if he wanted to, could he get close to Xin An?
