Seeing Tang Cheng so actively trying to expand the Wen family, Wen Huaian felt warm and touched, and it would be okay to ask his father to fulfill her small request.
"Of course there is. Father will definitely reward you for being such a great contributor."
The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion has a profound heritage and a large business, but no one knows that the Duke's Mansion's businesses are almost spread throughout the entire Zhou Dynasty and support tens of millions of disabled soldiers.
He only found out about this after he recovered and his father privately handed over these properties to him.
The reward Tang Cheng wanted was not a problem at all.
Maybe my father would be happy to see it happen.
Tang Cheng was satisfied now.
She stroked her bulging belly, her beautiful, clear almond-shaped eyes filled with joy.
These rewards can be regarded as the children's private property, and they can support themselves when they grow up.
Those who want to marry can pay their own betrothal gifts, and those who want to marry can save up their own dowry.
She doesn't have to worry about anything.
It’s wonderful just thinking about it.
Tang Cheng was very smart in preparing for a rainy day.
Wen Huaian didn't know that Tang Cheng had already arranged the reward in her mind, and his eyes fell on her lower abdomen, his mouth corners slightly raised, and his eyes softened.
He took three days off, during which he would accompany Tang Cheng and wait for her to return home before going to the yamen.
Seeing how much the son-in-law doted on the young lady, Zhenzhu and the other four maids were happy and relieved.
While they were huddled in Wutong Courtyard to develop their relationship, word of Tang Cheng's cool move when serving tea spread quickly.
All kinds of rumors are flying around.
"I knew Fourth Miss Tang, oh, I should say that when the Crown Prince's wife offers tea, something strange will happen. It's true."
"This is the style of Fourth Miss Tang. Haha, it's so funny. The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo refused to take the tea and wanted to make things difficult for Fourth Miss Tang. Fourth Miss Tang drank it herself and let the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo choose which cup of tea to drink!"
"Yes, it's unheard of. I want to say, Miss Tang Si, well done!"
"Miss Tang Si is so tough!"
"It will be difficult for the Duke's wife to act like a mother-in-law!"
"Haha, she's still acting like a mother-in-law. With a daughter-in-law like this, the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo must be so angry that she'll die!"
"I don't think she'll be so angry that she'll die. After all, I already know Fourth Miss Tang's temperament, so I should be mentally prepared!"
"Tsk, if I had a daughter-in-law like this who doesn't follow the rules, I would immediately send her back to her parents' home!"
"You can just say sarcastic words, but if your daughter-in-law was the Fourth Miss Tang, would you dare to do that?"
"That's it. Do you dare?"
The person who told the person to go back to her mother's home was squeezed out and ran away in shame.
"I wish I had the confidence and courage of Fourth Miss Tang."
"You're dreaming. If you were to follow the example of Fourth Miss Tang, you would be kicked out of your husband's house immediately."
"Oh, no one sympathizes with the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo?"
"I sympathize, but sympathy is useless."
"Yes, Fourth Miss Tang has the privilege of not having to kneel, granted by the Emperor. She cannot even be punished by kneeling."
"You still want to kneel down, are you crazy?"
"Does no one think that Fourth Miss Tang is overdoing it? The Duke's wife is still an elder after all. The Marquis of Nanyang is a third-rank official in the court, but he has no idea how to teach his daughter!"
"Tsk, everyone in the capital doesn't know that Marquis Nanyang dotes on Fourth Miss Tang. We've gotten used to it, okay? If you say Fourth Miss Tang is overdoing it, then you don't want to think that if the Duke's wife didn't know what was going on and wanted to make things difficult for Fourth Miss Tang, how could she lose face?"
"It's your own fault!"
"That's right. Madam Guo knew the character of Fourth Miss Tang and still did this. Isn't this asking for trouble? She doesn't deserve sympathy!"
"Out of sight, out of mind, isn't that good?"
"… "
Those who wanted to guide public opinion secretly almost vomited blood. It was too difficult to throw dirty water on Miss Tang Si, but there was nothing they could do since they had received the money. They had to do their best.
It's not easy to make some money.
But the reality was far from what one would expect, as everyone was sympathizing with and mocking the Duke's wife.
Everyone prefers to read jokes and gossip about the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo.
Those who guide speech feel guilty.
All kinds of unfavorable rumors were almost all directed towards the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo, and people related to Tang Cheng had different reactions.
When Marquis Nanyang learned what his precious daughter had done, he thought it was no big deal and as long as she wasn't wronged, other people in the marquis' mansion were also used to it. Except for Tang Xin who was stunned and unbelievable, everyone was very calm.
Who made Tang Cheng do some shocking things from time to time
This kind of thing happens too often and it's not uncommon.
If Tang Cheng suddenly becomes virtuous one day, that would be a big deal.
Don’t you see that even the censor is too lazy to impeach the Marquis of Nanyang, not to mention those old-fashioned people who can’t stand Tang Cheng’s behavior and are turning a blind eye to it.
Princess Rong secretly felt lucky that Tang Si did not marry into Prince Rong's mansion, otherwise she, the Princess Rong, would be the one being laughed at.
She silently sympathized with the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo in her heart.
It's speechless that he had to make things difficult for Tang Si because he could make things difficult for anyone else.
Liu Jintong always felt that someone was against her recently. The things she planned were not going smoothly and she was very annoyed. However, she was still very happy to hear Tang Cheng's suicidal behavior when serving tea, and secretly prayed that she would keep trying to commit suicidal things.
Su Jingxing and Qi Changxiu burst into laughter after they found out what Tang Cheng did when serving tea.
It is indeed something that only Tang Si can do.
Tsk tsk, with Tang Si here, the Duke Zhenguo’s Mansion will probably be in chaos.
In addition to these people, after the emperor in the palace learned about Tang Cheng's outrageous behavior when serving tea, the tea in his mouth sprayed out with a "pu" sound, and his expression was indescribable.
"This Tang Si actually used the privilege of not having to kneel that I granted him like this?"
"I wonder if the Duke of Zhenguo will regret letting his son marry such a daughter-in-law. I'm afraid there will be a lot of excitement in the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion in the future."
Eunuch Fu's mouth twitched.
Your Majesty, is it really okay for you to gloat over other people's misfortunes
…
Zhenguogong Mansion
The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo thought of the scene where Tang Si was scolded by everyone, and in a very good mood she asked her trusted nanny about the situation outside.
"Mammy, are there a lot of people cursing Tang Si and Nanyang Hou outside?"
The confidant nanny's back stiffened, not knowing how to tell the Madam. People outside took the young Madam's disrespectful behavior of serving tea to her mother-in-law as a joke, and they all sympathized with, pitied, and laughed at the Madam who did not have the dignity of her mother-in-law.
She didn't dare tell her wife about this and could only lie hesitantly.
"Yes... yes, there are rumors everywhere, ahem, insulting the young lady."
The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo is not a fool. The hesitant words and evasive eyes of her trusted nanny make it clear that she is lying.
The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo was angry and had a bad feeling in her heart.
"You lied to me!"
"Tell the truth!"
The confidant nanny was sweating profusely and had to tell the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo about the rumors outside. After that, she knelt down with a plop and said, "Madam, calm down. The people outside are a bunch of blind and deaf guys."
In fact, she had expected this to happen long before her lady asked her to spread the news.
The young lady's reputation is already bad, and she has done some unorthodox things, not to mention this one. Everyone is used to it. The lady's attempt to use rumors against the young lady is not feasible at all, and will only backfire on her.
But at that time, the lady was in a trance and insisted on having her own way, so she didn't dare to persuade her.
The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo felt dizzy and almost vomited blood. Not only did she fail to achieve the expected effect, but she also became the object of sympathy and ridicule by everyone.
When she thought that she, the wife of a duke, had become a laughing stock among other people, she was so angry that she trembled all over, her face was grim, and she threw everything in the room to vent her anger.
The confidant nanny was horrified by what she saw.
Neither the master nor the servant noticed that the father and son, Duke Zhenguo and Wen Huaian, were standing at the door of the house, with frighteningly cold faces.
