Shen Potian’s words left Ji Zehai speechless.

At the beginning, Uncle Chen asked him how much silver should be written when recording this fake account.

He didn't think too much about it at the time and just said ten thousand taels.

But I didn't expect that the loophole would be so obvious!

Seeing Shen Potian was emotional, Shen Ningyuan was afraid that he would get sick from anger.

He quickly comforted her, "Dad, calm down. We will settle all these accounts today."

Shen Potian slowly calmed down, but his eyes were still fixed on Ji Zehai and Chen.

How much money did these filthy bastards cheat his Yuan'er out of?

Then, Shen Ningyuan looked at Lan Bo: "Lamber, please continue."

Lan Bo nodded and continued, "What's even more strange is that even though these poor relatives have helped us, they haven't even come to say thank you. These past few days, I've been at the mansion and asked a few servants, and they all said that in the past year, very few relatives from the Ji family's side branches have visited the mansion. And those who have come are all respectable people, not like those who need help."

As he spoke, Lanber emphasized his tone, "Young Madam, I dare to speculate that there is a traitor in the Marquis' Mansion. He has been sending large amounts of gold and silver out of the mansion under the pretext of various account expenses!"

As soon as the words fell, Ji Zehai's face changed first: "You dog slave, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will report you to the police!"

Ji Zehai seemed to be very angry and even said he would report to the police.

Chen Ningyuan smiled and replied, "Okay, then let's report it to the police! That's exactly what I want. I was just worried about getting back the dowry I lost!"

Ji Zehai was suddenly choked.

I didn't expect that what I said without restraint would actually give Shen Ningyuan a ladder.

Knowing the situation was not good, Chen quickly stepped forward and said, "Yuan'er, the Marquis was just anxious and said the wrong thing. Don't take it to heart. The Marquis's Mansion is in trouble right now. We can't just make a big deal out of it!"

"So, are we just going to let go of the things I lost?" Shen Ningyuan asked.

Hearing this, Chen cursed inwardly.

It looks like she won't let it go until she gives Shen Ningyuan an explanation.

After thinking for a moment, Chen gritted her teeth and went for it.

She said with a stiff upper lip, "Ning Yuan, your mother-in-law doesn't want to hide it from you. In fact, the dowry that was lost from your private storehouse is in my mother's storehouse!"

"Oh? Could it be that all my dowry was stolen by my mother-in-law?" Shen Ningyuan pretended to be surprised.

Chen's expression changed: "We are all family, how can you say it's stealing?"

Shen Ningyuan tilted her head and asked innocently, "Taking something without asking, if that's not stealing, what is it?"

"You..." Chen was speechless after hearing these words.

Ji Zehai quickly stepped forward to defend Chen: "Of course it wasn't stolen. The things weren't dropped. They were all in the mansion anyway, so of course they were borrowed!"

As he spoke, Ji Zehai emphasized his tone and accused, "Yuan'er, you are a little ignorant. Your mother-in-law is your elder and borrowed something from you because she thinks highly of you. She should just return it to you. How can you humiliate your mother-in-law by stealing it?"

Chen seemed to have gained confidence, his chest straight and erect.

Shen Ningyuan raised her eyebrows and was about to open her mouth to refute.

Shen Potian actually rushed out directly, pointed at Ji Zehai's nose and cursed: "You old bastard, did I give you face?"

"You secretly took Yuan'er's dowry without her permission, and you call that borrowing?"

"Returning something you stole is called borrowing, right? Then I'll borrow your head to play with it and then return it to you, okay?"

"If you think it's okay, I'll come over right now, chop off your head, and use it as a ball for my guard dog. When it gets tired of playing with me, I'll give it back to you!"

As he spoke, Shen Potian lifted his sleeves and was about to walk towards Ji Zehai.

Ji Zehai didn't expect that Shen Potian would suddenly do this.

She was so scared that she hid behind Chen, begging as she hid, "My dear relatives, please talk nicely, don't be violent, we are all respectable people!"

“A respectable person?” Shen Potian pointed at Ji Zehai, “When you took my daughter’s dowry, did you ever think that you were a respectable person?”

Shen Potian wanted to beat someone up, but Ji Zehai hid behind Chen, so he couldn’t do anything.

He could only curse angrily: "Bullshit respectability, it's all bullshit! Ji Zehai, get out here and stop hiding behind a woman!"

Shen Potian became more and more angry as he spoke.

Shen Ningyuan was worried that he would get sick from anger, so she quickly winked at Shen Haobai.

Shen Haobai hurried forward and pulled Shen Potian back.

He whispered, "Father, have you forgotten what my sister told us? We just need to follow her wishes. Don't cause trouble for my sister. The most important thing now is to help my sister get her dowry back!"

"If you make a scene like this, it will be seen by outsiders as our Ji family's fault again. Isn't that what you want to see?"

Shen Potian thought about it and realized that this was the truth.

He immediately calmed down and nodded solemnly, "You're right. The most important thing now is to get Yuan'er's dowry back. As for this old bastard, there's plenty of time to deal with him later!"

"That's right, so Dad will calm down first and see what my sister does next."

"Um."

The two reached an agreement, and Shen Potian quickly calmed down.

After making sure it was safe, Ji Zehai walked out from behind Chen tremblingly and with lingering fear.

As soon as he walked out, Shen Ningyuan asked in a deep voice: "So, when are you going to return the dowry that Madam Ji 'borrowed'?"

Shen Ningyuan deliberately emphasized the word "borrow", which made Chen's heart tremble.
