Chapter 21: With the Regent's backing, they'll suffer a great loss.



Fortunately, the Regent coughed lightly, and Kong Qing released his grip, letting Lin Yaoyao go.

Her body went limp and she almost fell to the ground. Song Yuxiu instinctively helped her up, and the Regent chuckled: "The Crown Prince Song doesn't care that his own wife has been slandered, but he treats an outsider like this. He is quite chivalrous."

Song Yuxiu was startled and instinctively let go!

Lin Yaoyao fell to the ground with a "thud".

His face was full of grievance and disbelief.

Shen Zhiyi lowered her head slightly, afraid that she would laugh too loudly.

She could only smile bitterly: "Husband, during the time you were injured, I stayed up all night and watched over you day and night. I never thought I would be falsely accused of cheating on you?"

"Everyone says I have a relationship with this man, but is the undergarment he's holding mine?"

"Was I the one he was making love to in bed with?"

“Mother, you say I framed you. I have worked hard and never complained since I married into the Marquis’s family. I even used my own dowry to supplement the family income. I never expected to end up like this.”

Shen Zhiyi's eyes were slightly red, which made her look pitiful.

The Regent's guard, Kong Qing, couldn't help but mutter, "Using the daughter-in-law's dowry? Has the Marquis's mansion fallen so low?"

"Shen Zhiyi, don't talk nonsense!" Chen Shi became anxious upon hearing this.

She was terrified that the Regent would find out about this and spread it around, which would ruin the reputation of the Marquis's mansion. "Our Marquis's mansion doesn't need your little bit of money at all!"

If you lose substance, you'll lose face.

In the eyes of outsiders, the Marquis's mansion had completely collapsed.

Lin Yaoyao's pupils dilated.

dowry?

Could it be that the Hou family's food, clothing, and daily necessities over the years have been maintained by Shen Zhiyi's dowry?

“When has my young lady ever spoken nonsense? Every expense in this Marquis’s mansion, and where the money comes from, is recorded!”

As Hongrui spoke, she pulled out an account book from her bosom and handed it directly to the Regent, saying, "Your Highness, you can send someone to check the authenticity of the accounts."

“My daughter has devoted herself to the Marquis’s family, yet she has to suffer such an injustice. I beg you to do justice for her.”

Ledger?

The Song family members were dumbfounded. Hadn't they handed over the account books along with the warehouse keys?

"Shen Zhiyi, you still keep private accounts? Don't you consider us family?" The mother-in-law gritted her teeth in anger.

“Let me write down my dowry list and accounts. Is there a problem?” Shen Zhiyi asked in return.

The Regent glanced at the account books. "Is the Marquis's mansion really so poor that it needs to use its daughter-in-law's dowry?"

“No, no…” The mother-in-law quickly shook her head. “Your Highness, she has been managing the household for the past two years. I didn’t know she was using her dowry to supplement the family income. How could our Marquis’s mansion be so poor that it has to use its daughter-in-law’s dowry?”

"In that case, Mother, please return the money I spent over the past two years to me."

One sentence made Chen's face turn pale instantly.

Shen Zhiyi had a faint smile on her lips:

Want to design her?

Today I'm going to make you suffer a lot!
