Yanjing City.

A carriage drove into the city gate and arrived at Xie Mansion unimpeded.

The carriage curtain was opened, and a woman dressed in silk and satin and with gold hairpins on her head got out of the carriage.

"Mrs. Xu."

Cuizhu had been waiting at the door for a long time. Seeing this woman, she frowned secretly. She was dressed like a nouveau riche. Did she wear all the fancy things on her head?

Her daughter is pregnant. Is she dressed like this to attend a funeral or to please others?

Wang stroked the golden hairpin on her head and said calmly, "Thank you for inviting me here, Master. Where is my poor daughter buried?"

"No hurry, our son said he wanted to see the lady first and exchange some things with her."

When Wang heard this, her eyes lit up instantly: "Tut-tut-tut!"

That's why she came here! She doesn't care whether that bitch Xu Wanruo lives or dies!

"Please come in, Madam Xu."

Cuizhu led the way and invited Wang into the Xie family.

Xie Xianyu had already been sitting in the front hall waiting. He was still wearing a plain robe and a brocade belt to tie his hair. There was not a single piece of gold or jade on his body, but it was hard to hide his noble temperament.

When Wang Shi entered the room and saw Xie Xianyu, she subconsciously restrained her demeanor and became much more cautious. "Thank you, Master."

She had met him once a year ago. It was hard to imagine how such a young man could have such an aura that made people afraid to act rashly.

Xie Xianyu said coldly, "Wanruo is dead. I asked you to come here to return some of her belongings to the Xu family."

Wang's eyes lit up: "Really? That's too much!"

Xie Xianyu looked at her and calmly asked, "Wanruo took some valuables with her when she left the Xu family?"

Wang's eyes rolled around and she nodded immediately: "Yes! She took away tens of thousands of taels of silver in banknotes! This girl is really ignorant and stole all the money in the family. I really don't have the face to see her father. Now that she is gone, the deficit in the family cannot be filled. It's really..."

Xie Xianyu's eyes darkened. "Are you sure? If it doesn't match what you said, I'll have the Jingzhao Prefecture investigate. If they find any false information, they'll be punished by fifty lashes and fined double the amount of money they stole."

Wang was so frightened that she immediately changed her words: "No, no, no, it's not!"

Xie Xianyu's fingers gripping the arm of the chair suddenly tightened, and a flash of brokenness flashed across his eyes.

Wang then said, "It's not tens of thousands of taels of silver, it's two thousand taels of silver. Oh, and there are also the deeds to two farms and ten acres of medicinal fields! All together, it must be four or five thousand taels of silver!"

Xie Xianyu's eyes flashed, and a fierce aura burst out: "Are you sure?!"

Wang was so frightened that she knelt on the ground. "I, I'm sure. If you don't believe me, I'll bring you my family's account book to reconcile. She really did take away so much money from our family. I didn't dare to lie a single word!"

Wang was so frightened that she dared not lie. She told the whole truth.

Xie Xianyu's expression gradually darkened, and he suddenly stood up. Wang was so frightened that she trembled with fear, and even wondered if she was going to die here.

Xie Xianyu, however, strode past her and walked straight out of the flower hall.

Wang was so frightened that she just stood there, at a loss as to what to do.

Cuizhu said coldly, "Please go back first, Madam Xu. Once the account is settled, I will naturally return the money."

Wang Shi didn't dare to say no, and responded without hesitation: "Yes, yes, yes!"

Does she still dare to challenge the Xie family?

Xie Xianyu strode out of the Xie Mansion. Qing'an hurriedly caught up with him, "Xiaozi."
