Feiyun Garden
"Ms. Xu, Zhao Dayong insisted that he was here to steal things and refused to say anything else."
Xu Wanyan was only surprised for a moment, but since he was a member of the Zhao family, it was normal for him to take the blame for Zhao Yaru.
"What does Shuntian Prefecture say?"
"Three years for theft. However, Zhao Dayong has some money on hand. After paying some fines, he will probably be released in three months."
Three months?
Xu Wanyan was a little disappointed, but this was all she could do for now.
"Miss Xu, don't worry, I will be careful and vigilant in the future."
Xu Wanyan was full of gratitude, "Thank you, this shouldn't be your business."
Xiao Mengzi clasped his fists and said, "Since it is the order of the prince, it is my responsibility."
"Where is your prince?"
She should actually thank him in person.
"The prince is in the palace."
Xiao Mengzi was a little surprised that Miss Xu actually took the initiative to ask about the prince.
"Please help me deliver a letter to him."
"yes!"
When handing the letter to Xiao Mengzi, Xu Wanyan hesitated a bit.
Their goals are different. Xiao Jingming is for the Crown Princess, while she is for herself.
"I sent it first?"
Xu Wanyan nodded, "Thank you."
As soon as Xiao Mengzi left, Qiao Yun ran in happily with a smile in her eyes.
"Miss, Miss, the lady has been beaten again."
Xu Wanyan had not yet recovered from her previous emotions and was staring at Qiao Yun in a daze.
Qiao Yun quickly described what happened in the front yard in vivid detail, and Xu Wanyan couldn't help laughing.
"You weren't there, were you?"
Qiao Yun shook her head and pouted, "I do feel regretful, but in order not to cause trouble for the young lady, I suppressed the urge to watch and hid aside to eavesdrop."
"What did father say in the end?"
"The master asked Madam and Steward Wang to pay half each to subsidize the people who bought the land. Otherwise, they will be sent to the government."
"Did you really say that?"
Xu Wanyan didn't believe it. You know, Xu Maocai is a very proud person.
Will he send Zhao Yaru to the authorities and embarrass himself?
"Did Zhao Yaru agree?"
"The lady cried and wailed, and finally agreed under the master's pressure."
She actually underestimated Zhao Yaru. Originally, she wanted to let her grandfather deal with her.
"By the way, Manager Zhou and Liu Feng didn't go?"
"I met them on the road, I don't know if they are going there."
Xu Wanyan raised the corner of her mouth, thinking that something interesting was about to happen.
"Master, Madam, I have no other choice. This mess is so big, and I can't explain it to the Second Young Lady."
Manager Zhou and Liu Feng were not as impulsive as Manager Wang. They looked at Xu Maocai with embarrassment.
Xu Maocai was upset and felt that it was a mistake to come back early today.
He glared at Zhao Yaru fiercely, wishing he could kick her to death.
Zhao Yaru sat aside, sobbing softly.
She had clearly explained everything to them, so how could she be instigated by Xu Wanyan?
If it were any other day, she would definitely curse and humiliate him.
But, that old man, Manager Wang, really scared her just now.
"How much is missing?"
Xu Maocai tried hard to suppress his inner anger and waited for them to leave before dealing with Zhao Yaru.
"Sir, the silk shop is short of 500,000 taels..."
"What? Five hundred thousand taels?"
Xu Maocai was so frightened that he couldn't sit still and almost fell down.
Manager Zhou didn't dare to speak, shrank his neck, and then nodded.
"Tell me! Where's the silver?"
Xu Maocai's face flushed and he was shouting at the top of his lungs. This was not a small number.
"Husband, the lady should have 400,000 taels..."
"You're talking nonsense! You're slandering me, Old Zhou. I've treated you well, and yet you're slandering me?"
Zhao Yaru was flustered. She could only deny it, otherwise...
She didn't dare to think about it.
"Madam, the account book clearly records every time your subordinates slandered you."
As he spoke, he took out the account book and handed it to Xu Maocai.
Seeing this, Liu Feng quickly took out the account book.
Xu Maocai opened them one by one, looked at Xu Wanyan's comments next to them, and immediately threw them to the ground.
"Bitch, bitch, you actually..."
Xu Maocai covered his chest and pointed at Zhao Yaru, too angry to speak.
"Dad, Dad, please don't hit Mom."
Xu Wanqing, who received the news, ran in in a panic.
"Get out of here!"
Xu Maocai shouted and kicked Zhao Yaru.
Zhao Yaru fell to the ground and looked at Xu Maocai's face, not daring to breathe.
Even though she was in pain, she didn't dare to make a sound.
"Where's the silver? Where's the silver?"
"The silver... the silver is gone."
Zhao Yaru huddled under the table and whispered.
"No, no more?"
"Bang!"
Xu Maocai fell to the ground.
"Quick, call a doctor!"
Jinhuayuan was in chaos.
By the time Xu Wanyan found out, Xu Maocai had already seen a doctor.
"Slice some onions for me."
"Miss, do you want some onions?"
Xu Wanyan smiled and shook her head, "Just go and cut it."
Without the onion, she was afraid she would laugh out loud.
When we arrived at Huajinyuan, Old Master Xu was there, Zhao Yaru was there, Xu Wanqing was there, and Butler Han was there too.
Seeing Xu Wanyan, Zhao Yaru rushed over like a mad dog.
"It's all your fault, you little bitch. It's you who caused your father to fall. I'm going to beat you to death. Beat you to death."
Xu Wanyan glanced at Old Master Xu and saw that he was unmoved. She knew that Zhao Yaru must have been trying to deceive him a long time ago.
