Chang Mian said, "It wasn't given to me by my father, it was saved up by my aunt."

Changxiu continued, "That aunt really has it tough. Her monthly allowance is probably not much, so saving up a hundred taels of silver must be quite difficult. Sister Mian is still careless. You should talk to Father and report it to the authorities so they can investigate."

Suochuoluo said, "Cousin Xiuer is right. One hundred taels is not a small amount. That man not only cheated you out of your money, but he also dared to cheat my brother-in-law Zhu. It should be reported to the authorities so that they can investigate properly. He dares to cheat even officials. He is too bold."

Chang Mian naturally didn't want to make a big fuss. That swindler was just a shill and is now dead. If the investigation uncovered anything, her reputation would be ruined.

"I think it's better not to. I'm a woman, and if people find out, it will probably damage my reputation. I'll just consider the hundred taels as a lesson learned."

Chang Xiu said sarcastically, "Sister Mian is really generous, spending a hundred taels to learn a lesson."

Chang Mian was also a little annoyed. She was already feeling guilty, and now Chang Xiu had brought it up repeatedly, so she said in a somewhat unpleasant tone, "Alright, one hundred taels is a lot, but not too much. Xiu'er, don't keep bringing it up."

Changxiu, as the legitimate daughter, was naturally angry to be treated like this by a concubine's daughter. She wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Suochuoluo: "Cousin Mian is right. It's worth it to buy a lesson with a hundred taels."

Chang Miao wanted to change the subject, so she turned to Zhu Tao: "By the way, my cousin-in-law just said that my cousin-in-law Zhu was almost cheated out of a hundred taels of silver. What happened?"

Suochuoluo glanced at Chang Mian, then said, "This was quite a coincidence. Here's what happened..."

Suochuoluo briefly explained, naturally distancing herself from Chang Mian and Zhu Tao, and assigning the role of Zhu Tao to Liu Zeng.

The conversation touched on the Baqi, and after Suochuoluo finished speaking, some people just felt that it was too coincidental, but they wondered if they would make any connections after thinking about it.

Seeing Chang Mian with her head down, Suochuoluo was satisfied. Yun Qing was also satisfied. Sure enough, the way to make yourself happy is to see people you don't get along with unhappy.
