After Shangguan Lingyun took the account book, his face immediately turned cold.

Upon seeing this, the court officials were so frightened that they dared not even breathe, fearing that they would accidentally provoke Shangguan Lingyun's wrath.

"Li Si, do you know someone named Feng Sanli?"

Li Si was startled, then stepped forward to answer.

"Your Majesty, this Feng Sanli is my wife's younger brother. He has been a scoundrel since childhood. I have already had my wife sever all ties with him."

"I wonder why Your Majesty suddenly mentioned this man, but what crime did he commit?"

Shangguan Lingyun sneered, "Really? I thought Feng Sanli had a close relationship with Li Aiqing."

"By the way, I heard that Concubine Li, who was released from the palace, has now married Lord Xing Bin as his concubine. Is this true?"

Xing Bin immediately stepped forward and knelt, "Your Majesty, there is this matter, but..."

Shangguan Lingyun interrupted him directly and smiled faintly.

"Lord Xing, don't be nervous. I was just saying it casually."

"But Lord Xing and Lord Li should take a look at this account book."

"Eunuch Yu, please give the account book to the two adults for review. I need a reasonable explanation."

Eunuch Yu handed the account book to Xing Bin and Li Si again, and the adults next to them also looked at it eagerly.

When everyone saw the numbers above, they couldn't help but sigh.

"Master Li, this Feng Sanli is so rich that he actually has so much silver deposited in the Tianji Bank."

"And this Li, who was just a beauty banished from the palace, actually has so many private vaults."

"Master Xing, a woman of such worth would be willing to be your concubine. You'd wake up laughing in your dreams, wouldn't you?"

Xing Bin looked at the adult who was speaking with some embarrassment.

"Lord Sun, you're joking. I didn't know the Li family had such wealth. I guess it was a reward from the former Emperor."
