Chapter 29 Dealing with Nanfeng

"Second Young Master Madam, please be careful on the steps."

"Madam, the road ahead has just been sprinkled with water. If you are not in a hurry, you can go around to the back of the garden. I can lead the way for you."

"Thanks a lot."

On the way back to Qiushiyuan from Chunrongyuan, any servant who saw Xin An would bow respectfully, and some would even greet him warmly and give him careful reminders. Xin An always had a faint smile on his lips, and he looked very easy to get along with.

After she left, Tang Rong walked out from behind the rockery. He was originally worried that Xin An would speak rudely to him again when he saw him, so he avoided him to avoid embarrassment, but he saw the attitude of the servants in the mansion towards her.

Qing Mo, the servant beside him, also watched the whole process and sighed in Tang Rong's ear, "The Second Young Master's wife is really capable. It's only been a few days and everyone in the mansion wants to visit her when they have nothing to do."

Tang Rong tilted his head, "Why?"

They entered the house on the same day, and Tao Yiran had hardly ever left the yard, but Xin An had already won over the servants in the mansion?

Qing Mo said Xin An was very generous, and mentioned that the people in the mansion helped her carry the dowry. "This was originally part of their job. The Second Young Master's wife was so polite that she gave everyone one or two taels of silver, saying that everyone had worked hard and invited everyone to have tea."

"Anyone who completes any task assigned to her will be rewarded, no matter how big or small. The people of Qiushiyuan will enjoy great fortune."

The more he spoke, the more excited he became. He only regretted that he was not serving in Qiushi Courtyard. He was so happy that he ignored Tang Rong's gaze.

"Did the young lady give you any reward when you carried the dowry?"

"without."

What Qing Mo didn't dare to say was that because of this matter, everyone in the mansion knew that the eldest young lady was stingy. There was nothing he could do about it. Qiushiyuan and Chunhuayuan were only separated by a wall, and the difference between the two sides was too great.

Tang Rong didn't say anything, he just walked forward. Qing Mo didn't dare to continue talking, he just followed behind with his head lowered.

Xin An returned to Qiushi Courtyard. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Nan Feng kneeling in the yard with tears on her face. "Did you make the Second Young Master angry?"

Nan Feng was stubborn and didn't say anything. Chun Yang was dissatisfied and asked, "Second Young Master's wife asked you a question. Are you mute?"

Nan Feng remained silent, but Tang Mo stood under the eaves with a dark face, "Ignore her, I will report to my mother later and send her away."

"Second Master, I beg you, please don't chase me away."

Nan Feng knelt down and moved forward a few steps, "Second Master, I won't dare to do it again, please don't chase me away."

There were people from Chunhua Courtyard watching the fun at the door. Chunyang was about to step forward and scold them, but Xin An hurried in front of her and said, "Take Nanfeng to wash his face."

Then he whispered a few more words in Chunyang's ear. Nanfeng wanted to beg for mercy again, but Xin An stepped forward and lowered his voice, "If you dare to make a scene again and make the neighbors laugh at you, I will tie you up and sell you to a brothel."

Nanfeng was so scared that she shut up immediately. Chunyang grabbed her arm and dragged her away.

After returning to the house, Tang Mo followed him in with an annoyed look on his face. "That girl is not an honest person. She came into my room early in the morning without my permission and touched me. She intended to do something bad to me. This is not the first time. There is no place for her in this yard."

"Whether it's tolerable or not, why are you making people kneel in the yard?"

Xin An sat down and poured himself a cup of tea. "How much do you want the people next door to see you?"

Tang Mo sat aside in a bad mood, picked up the tea that Xin An had just poured and started drinking it. He had a headache due to the hangover, and when he opened his eyes in the morning, Nan Feng touched his face, which scared him to death. He was so angry that he couldn't suppress it.

Considering that he had given her enough face yesterday, Xin An asked Chunlu to bring him a light breakfast. After he finished eating, he felt much calmer. Xin An then spoke, "I don't know when Nanfeng came, but I think her purpose of serving you included helping you go to bed. Maybe it was also agreed by your mother. She has long regarded herself as yours."

"If you retreat from her, she will have no way to survive."

Tang Mo rolled his eyes, "I haven't touched her, how can she still rely on me?"

"Why don't you decide and marry her off to whomever you want, as long as she doesn't have to serve in this courtyard."

He is the master, so how could he care about the life and death of a girl who climbed into the bed?

Next door, Chunyang held Nanfeng and heard Tang Mo's words clearly. Nanfeng's tears fell like broken strings. She never expected that Tang Mo hated her so much. She felt that she had no future.

Chunyang dragged her away, and Xin An smiled when he heard the door close. "Since you have behaved well these past two days, I will take care of Nanfeng's matter."

Tang Mo sneered and knew that this woman was very realistic.

Xin An picked up a piece of dessert and talked about what happened in Chunhua Courtyard next door yesterday. Tang Mo slapped his thigh after hearing it and said, "You are so confused."

"Why don't you take this opportunity to teach Tang Rong a lesson? You should spread the news so that people outside know what kind of person he is."

"Are you reluctant to let go?"

What a good opportunity, just lost in vain.

Xin An's mouth twitched slightly, "With your brain, you wouldn't have lived long even without me in your previous life. It's a blessing for you to die in a confused state. Wouldn't you be ruined in the future?"

The anger that had just subsided surged up again. Everything had gone smoothly for the past two days. Yesterday, Minister Xu praised him a lot. Tang Mo thought he was good enough and would be invincible in this life. Xin An's words made him very unhappy. Wasn't this just boosting others' morale and destroying his own prestige?

"Are you not convinced?"

Xin An knew that he was an impulsive person. Although he looked out of control, he was actually a relatively simple person and didn't have many ulterior motives. "Can a pregnant maid bring down a prince of a marquisate?"

"Do you think that having a mistress like that would damage his reputation?"

Tang Mo was not a fool. Xin An understood what he meant after he gave him a brief reminder. He weakly argued, "I have been suppressed by him for too long. I am a little anxious."

"Hold it."

Xin An said, "I'm telling you, at most he will be laughed at by others and say 'So you are one of us', which will make him more genuine in the eyes of those outsiders. He will be fine, but your father will be worried. He will definitely be accused of not managing the family properly. And with the marriage exchange, if he does something shameful again, this matter will turn into a big deal, with endless troubles."

"If you want to fight for a title, the prerequisite is that the title of the Marquis' Mansion is worth fighting for. If the Marquis' Mansion is notorious and everyone stays away from it, what is the point of fighting for it?"

His eyes fell on Tang Mo, "Remember, you are a humble and polite younger brother outside. Act like a friendly brother to him and earn yourself a good reputation for turning over a new leaf. You can work on other things slowly behind closed doors."

Tang Mo listened carefully, and suddenly heard the words "turn over a new leaf" again and sighed helplessly, "Can't we just say 'turn over a new leaf'?"

Xin An asked with a smile, "Change your ways?"

"Repent your wrongdoings?"

"A prodigal son who returns is more valuable than gold."

"Pick one for yourself."

Tang Mo felt so upset that he wanted to go to Chunhua Courtyard and stab Tang Rong right away. It was all his fault!!!
