Shen Weiwan looked at Liu's expression, feeling secretly happy. She walked up to Liu and said with a smile, "Aunt, look, isn't this resolved? If you had paid earlier, why would it have come to this?"
Liu glared at Shen Weiwan fiercely, then turned around and wanted to leave.
"Wait, auntie," Shen Weiwan stopped her, "there's one more thing."
"Is there anything else?" Liu asked unhappily.
"Look," Shen Weiwan pointed to the box on the ground, "this silver has been borrowed, but the servants' monthly wages can't always be borrowed, right?"
"Then what do you want?" Liu looked at Shen Weiwan warily.
"It's nothing," Shen Weiwan smiled, "I just want to ask Auntie not to cry poor anymore. You know what the general's family is like, and I know it too. If I hear you say there's no money in the treasury again," she paused, looking into Liu's eyes, "next time it won't be as simple as borrowing money."
Liu felt uneasy when she was looked at by Shen Weiwan. She knew that if she dared to play tricks again, Shen Weiwan would definitely come up with more cruel tricks to deal with her.
"I...I understand." Liu lowered her head, not daring to look at Shen Weiwan again.
"That's good to know," Shen Weiwan nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, Aunt, you are busy, we won't disturb you anymore."
After saying that, she took the servants and left the main hall, leaving Liu alone there, looking at the empty box with tears in her eyes.
Walking out of the main hall, Chun Tao couldn't help laughing and said, "Miss, your trick is really great! You've taken advantage of her and taken all of Liu's private money!"
Shen Weiwan smiled and looked at the extra one hundred taels of silver in her hand - that was secretly stuffed into her by the servants after they divided the money, saying it was to thank her for making the decision for everyone.
"This is just the beginning," Shen Weiwan put away the silver, her eyes became sharp, "What Liu owes the General's Mansion, what she owes me, I will get it back bit by bit!"
The old housekeeper stroked his beard on the side and looked at Shen Weiwan with relief: "Miss, with you here, the general's mansion has hope!"
Shen Weiwan nodded, but her heart didn't relax at all. She knew that Liu would never give up and would definitely come up with more sinister tricks next. But she was not afraid, because she had the memories of her past life, the support of the servants in the mansion, and a heart that protected the general's mansion!
Back in her courtyard, Shen Weiwan had just sat down when Chuntao came in with a cup of tea.
"Miss, you were so majestic just now!" Chun Tao looked at Shen Weiwan with admiration, "Liu's face turned green!"
Shen Weiwan took the teacup and took a sip: "It's not enough to make her feel bad about the money. I want her to spit out all the embezzled property one by one!"
"Miss, what are you going to do?" Chuntao asked curiously.
Shen Weiwan put down the teacup, her eyes flashing: "The next step is to check the warehouse! I want to let Liu see how ridiculous her tricks are!"
As he was speaking, footsteps were heard outside the door and the old butler hurried in.
"Miss," the old housekeeper said sternly, "Liu just had someone lock herself in her room and said she was going to hang herself!"
Shen Weiwan heard this and sneered: "Oh? Really? Let's go and take a look!"
She wanted to see what tricks Liu was up to this time! Was it a real hanging, or a fake one? If it was fake, she wouldn't mind handing Liu a stool and letting her "perform" properly!
When I arrived at Liu's courtyard, I saw that the door was closed and I could hear Liu's crying from inside.
"I won't live anymore! I'm so sorry, General!"
"This life is unbearable! I might as well die!"
There were many servants gathered around, whispering to each other.
"Hey, what happened to Madam Liu?"
"Isn't it because the young lady asked her to pay?"
"Serves her right! Who told her to be greedy for so much money!"
Shen Weiwan walked to the door, cleared her throat, and said loudly: "Aunt, what are you doing? If you have something to say, open the door and tell me!"
The crying inside paused for a moment, then started again: "I am too embarrassed to face anyone! Please let me die!"
"Aunt," Shen Weiwan said patiently, "If you really want to die, I won't stop you. But before you die, can you hand over the embezzled property first? It will save you trouble in the future."
The servants around couldn't help laughing when they heard this. This young lady is too direct, isn't she? Others want to hang themselves, but she wants the family property!
Liu inside didn't expect Shen Weiwan to say this, and for a moment she didn't know how to answer.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Shen Weiwan continued: "Aunt, if you are too lazy to open the door, I have a stool here. If you need it, I will pass it in to you? It's too tiring to hang yourself standing up. It's more comfortable to sit down."
Now, even the old butler next to him couldn't help laughing.
Liu in the room was so angry that she was shaking all over. She didn't really want to hang herself, but just wanted to threaten Shen Weiwan with this. Unexpectedly, Shen Weiwan didn't play by the rules at all, but made fun of her "hanging"!
"Chen Weiwan! You...you've gone too far!" Liu screamed in the room.
"I'm going too far?" Shen Weiwan raised her eyebrows. "Aunt, if you don't want to die, open the door quickly. Otherwise, I'll have someone pry the door open! By then, you'll be hanging naked in the room, and being seen by the servants will be really shameful!"
When Liu heard this, she was terrified. She had been in such a panic that she was only wearing her underwear. What would happen if the door was pried open?
"Don't...don't pry the door open!" Liu shouted hurriedly, "I...I'll open the door right away!"
After a while, the door creaked open. Liu was in her undershirt, her hair disheveled, and her face stained with tears, looking utterly miserable.
