Chapter 241: Tell me, am I really wrong?
Yan Qing took out another account book and said, "According to our investigation, the Fang family has 150,000 taels of silver in Tongbao Bank."
"In addition to the Fang family's old house, there are three other houses and six farms, worth about 80,000 taels."
"The Fang family's antiques, jade, gold jewelry, and other valuables are worth approximately 60,000 taels in total."
"The Fang family owns about twenty shops, worth about 60,000 taels."
"The Fang family has a total of 270 slaves, worth approximately 20,000 taels."
"besides……"
Yan Qing said at the end, almost gritting his teeth:
"The Fang family lives an extravagant life. Their daily expenses for food and clothing are around one thousand taels. Note that this is their daily expenses. If they spend one thousand taels a day, they will spend thirty thousand taels of silver every month."
"There are still 35,000 taels of silver in the Fang family."
"Toffee, did you hear that clearly?"
"If you didn't hear clearly, I can say it to you again."
"This money belongs to the Fang family. The dowries of the Fang family's daughters-in-law and granddaughters-in-law are not included."
"If you don't understand, I'll tell you straight out."
"The 30,000 taels the Fang family collected was actually the family's pocket money, their savings, their shop, their house, their servants, their gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, and jade. None of it was touched."
"Even their extravagant lifestyle hasn't changed at all."
"That's what they keep saying, that they're being forced into a corner. That's also what you mean by giving them three hundred thousand taels of silver, which will drive them to death."
The toffee's body swayed.
The Fang family's wealth is much greater than that of Prince Ling's Mansion.
She looked at Fang Zhengtian: "Brother...is this true?"
Fang Zhengtian's cold sweat never stopped.
He had long wanted to interrupt Yan Qing's argument.
But, for some reason, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't make a single sound.
It's like being possessed by an evil spirit.
Unable to make any sound or speak.
While guarding Yu Lingye, he didn't dare to make any unnecessary movements and could only endure it.
When asked by the concubine, he became even more anxious.
The others also realized that there was a problem. When they wanted to speak, they found that they could not make a sound and became anxious for a moment.
The Toffee didn't know that they couldn't make any noise.
Their panicked and anxious expressions appeared to be guilty consciences in the eyes of the concubine.
The concubine's face looked extremely ugly.
She took two steps back and murmured, "You lied to me again?"
"You lied to me again?"
"Fang Yilin lied to me, and you lied to me too. You...you...why?"
The concubine had a headache and was most afraid of getting angry.
He was so angry that he fainted.
After the concubine fainted, Doctor Cui and others who had been prepared came forward one after another.
Yan Qing said coldly to Fang Zhengtian: "The Concubine Dowager is unwell, Lord Fang, please return."
Fang Zhengtian also knew that he would not get any advantage today.
They couldn't speak, couldn't argue, and there was no point in staying.
After sending away the concubine, Fang Zhengtian and others.
The study finally became quiet.
"Although I've known for a long time that they are shameless, it's still very infuriating to witness their shamelessness with my own eyes." Yan Qing gritted his teeth.
Xie Yingmian also sighed.
In her entire life, she had never seen such pure divine gold.
"I have a question. How did the concubine, who was so stupid as to be outrageous, survive in a harem of cannibals?"
It’s incredible to think that the Queen Dowager has been fighting wits and courage with such a fool for many years and still lost slightly.
Yu Lingye said: "Preference."
"There are many conspiracies and intrigues in the harem, and the tricks of the women in the palace are countless."
"But, compared to favoritism, no conspiracy or trickery will work."
"The emperor dotes on her, favors her, and listens to her every word. If someone frames her, the emperor will protect her, but she frames others... She doesn't have the brains to do that."
"Father knows she doesn't have the brains for it, so he's more willing to protect her."
Xie Yingmian suddenly remembered a line of lyrics from centuries ago: Those who cannot get what they want are always in turmoil, while those who are favored are fearless.
The Queen Mother is capable of such behavior because she was spoiled by the late Emperor.
Yu Lingye asked, "Fang Zhengtian and the others haven't said anything yet. Did you do anything?"
Xie Yingmian narrowed her eyes: "I said I would give you a gift."
Yu Lingye: "That cup of tea?"
Xie Yingmian: "I guess so."
There is no poison in the tea.
After all, it was a whole pot of Xue Ji. There would be a lot left after pouring a cup for each of them. She couldn't waste it for the dregs.
She smeared the poison on the rim of the teacup.
Anyway, those used teacups are going to be thrown away, so it's a good opportunity to recycle them.
"Today is the official day of the falling out, and the Concubine Dowager has fainted from anger." Xie Yingmian said, "Now we're entering the final stage."
"There are only a few days left until the final day. Fang Zhengtian probably won't come."
"After a few days, Fang Zhang will come to force the Concubine Dowager to make a final move. The Fang family has been pushed to the limit."
There was a pause.
Xie Yingmian added, "If the concubine's hemorrhage brain can't be cured this time, then she is beyond saving."
The concubine's bloody brain will sooner or later lead to a big mistake, and Yu Lingye will also be implicated by the concubine. It is recommended to stay away from her or directly sever ties with her.
She didn't mention the following suggestions.
It would be better for her to stay out of other people's mother-son affairs.
After the concubine woke up from her anger, she remained in a daze, not eating, drinking or talking. She just lay on the bed and stared at the bed curtains.
Nanny Chang was frightened and quickly called Doctor Cui.
Doctor Cui took the Dowager Concubine's pulse and shook his head: "The Dowager Concubine is fine, everything is normal."
"As for not eating or drinking, it might be a mental illness."
"Heart disease needs heart medicine to treat it, and this old man can't do anything about it."
After Nanny Chang sent Doctor Cui away, she kept wiping away her tears: "Your Highness, please don't scare me."
"If you have anything to say, you can talk to me."
"Talk it out and it's over. Don't keep it bottled up. If you do, it will damage your health, and His Highness Prince Ling will be so sad and upset."
When Yu Lingye was mentioned, the concubine finally showed some reaction.
She mechanically turned to Matron Chang and held Matron Chang's hand tightly. "Afang, you've been with me for many years. Tell me the truth, am I really bad to Ye'er?"
Nanny Chang said, "We all see how much you care for His Highness Prince Ling."
Toffee shook her head: "No, you are not telling the truth."
"I...I only realized after being reminded that I had done so many unreasonable things."
The concubine covered her face with her hands, her voice filled with tears: "In order to beg the late emperor to let the Fang family go, I deliberately made Ye'er sick. For the Fang family, I deliberately made Ye'er eat hazelnuts. For the Fang family, I almost made Ye'er heavily in debt..."
"I didn't expect it to turn out like this."
"At that time, I thought that I had no one to rely on in the harem, and the only one I could rely on was the Fang family."
"Afang, you know how badly you'd be bullied in the harem without a strong backer. If Ye'er didn't have a powerful maternal family, those people in the palace who flatter the weak would have trampled us to pieces."
"I wanted to make the Fang family stronger and protect my mother and me, so I had to make this choice."
"Am I wrong?"
"Afang, tell me, did I really do something wrong?"
