The angrier Chen got, the more distorted and ferocious her expression became, and the happier Shen Ningyuan felt.
I just want a little bit of dowry, is that enough to break your defense?
If they knew what they were going to do next, wouldn't they be even more out of control?
Thinking about what would happen next, Shen Ningyuan felt an inexplicable pleasure in his heart.
It turns out that controlling the fate of others behind their backs is such a happy thing!
Killing Ji Yunhuan and taking back the dowry are just the beginning!
She will walk the path ahead with her feet on the ground.
One step, one footprint.
One footprint, one life.
Shen Ningyuan picked up the account book that recorded the dowry and waved it towards Chen.
He said lightly, "Then I'll trouble you, Madam Ji. I hope you can send those things to Xiyuanju as soon as possible."
Shen Ningyuan added: "Those dowries are all registered, and nothing can be missing!"
"you--"
Chen gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, I'll get it for you right away!"
After saying that, Chen glared at Shen Ningyuan fiercely, then turned and left.
After Chen left, Shen Ningyuan turned her gaze to Ji Zehai.
He smiled faintly and said, "Lord Ji, it's time to settle the accounts between me and the Marquis' Mansion!"
Ji Zehai's face changed instantly, and he snorted angrily, "What can the Marquis' Mansion have against you? Stop talking nonsense!"
"You don't admit it?" Shen Ningyuan's smile grew: "That doesn't matter, we have plenty of time, let's settle it!"
As she spoke, Shen Ningyuan turned sideways and asked Lan Bo, "Lan Bo, in the one year since I married into the Marquis' Mansion, according to the discrepancies in the account book, how much silver did the Marquis' Mansion take from my dowry?"
Lan Bo's face was stern. He flipped open the account book in his hand and answered seriously, "Madam, the total is 512,417 taels. If you round it up, it's 520,000 taels!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Zehai immediately retorted: "Nonsense! How can you round up and down like that? If you round up to five, you round up one, and if you round up to five, you round up one. If you really want to round up, it should be 510,000 taels!"
Hearing this, Shen Ningyuan smiled even brighter: "Lord Ji is right. According to rounding, it is indeed calculated this way. Thank you for your guidance, Lord Ji."
Ji Zehai snorted twice in triumph and was about to say something.
But Shen Ningyuan changed the subject and said in a cold voice, "From what the Marquis said, you are admitting this debt? Well, then, I will follow your instructions and round it up. The Marquis's Mansion owes me a total of 510,000 taels. Is it a silver note or cash? I'm fine with either."
At this time, Ji Zehai finally reacted and stared at Shen Ningyuan with a sullen face.
He roared angrily: “Chen Ningyuan, you are playing tricks on me!”
Chen Ningyuan feigned innocence: "My Lord, look at what you said, how can you say I'm playing tricks on you? You just did the math yourself, do you still want to deny it?"
Ji Zehai became even angrier, "I just taught you how to settle the account, I didn't acknowledge it!"
Shen Ningyuan nodded and said with a cold smile: “It can be settled. It’s the debt that the Marquis’ Mansion owes me, isn’t it?”
"You bitch—"
Ji Zehai almost burst into curses.
But as soon as the curse words came out, he was glared at by Shen Potian.
Ji Zehai was so frightened that he choked, his mouth slowly closed, and he could no longer utter a word.
If Shen Potian and Shen Haobai were not present, he would really kill this bitch!
Seeing Ji Zehai like this, Shen Ningyuan smiled and raised an eyebrow: "My Lord, do you want to scold me, am I a bitch? If you want to scold me, scold me as soon as possible. You are the elder, and I will bear it."
Shen Ningyuan added, "As long as you return the money to me, I will accept even the most vicious curse."
"you--"
Ji Zehai choked again.
This was what he had just said, teaching Shen Ningyuan to respect Chen's words.
I didn't expect her to hit back with these words.
At this time, Shen Haobai stood up and blocked Ji Zehai's vicious gaze towards Shen Ningyuan.
He asked in a deep voice: "The Marquis' Mansion owes my sister so much money, when will it be returned?"
Ji Zehai gritted his teeth and said, "It's unreasonable to say that the Marquis' Mansion owes money based on just a few account books!"
“It doesn’t matter, we can go to the Ministry of Revenue and calculate it again!” Shen Ningyuan said in a light tone.
"Go to the Ministry of Revenue?"
Ji Zehai was stunned. He didn't expect Shen Ningyuan to actually propose to go to the Ministry of Revenue.
"The Ministry of Revenue is in charge of financial disputes, so they should also take care of our little matter, right?"
Shen Ningyuan said with a smile, and suddenly thought of something, and said jokingly: "Oh, I seem to remember that our Marquis' Mansion seems to owe the Ministry of Revenue some money. I wonder if the people from the Ministry of Revenue will take the opportunity to ask the Marquis for the debt when we go to the Ministry of Revenue?"
"No, I can't go to the Ministry of Revenue!"
Ji Zehai's voice trembled.
How can I go to the Ministry of Revenue?
This year, he was like a mouse hiding from a cat, and he always took a detour when he saw people from the Ministry of Revenue.
Before Shen Ningyuan could speak, Shen Potian stood up and shouted angrily: "Don't want to go to the Ministry of Revenue? Then pay back the money!"
"That's right! Pay back the money!" Shen Haoyue also shouted angrily.
Shen Potian’s voice was rough and loud, and Shen Haobai roared so loudly that Ji Zehai’s heart trembled in shock.
It seems that I have no choice but to pay back the money today!
But now all the money in the Marquis's account has been taken away by Ji Yunchuan.
How can we come up with so much money in such a short time?
Thinking of this, Ji Zehai's expression softened, and he looked at the three of them pleadingly: "My dear nephew, this bill was asked too suddenly. In addition, I have been busy with Yunchuan's funeral recently, so I really can't come up with so much money. Why don't you give me a few more days, and when I have collected the money, I will return it to my daughter-in-law. What do you think?"
