The Marquis' wife was about to cry and she defended herself, "My dear, I am innocent!
Old Madam, I have offended you before, but that is all in the past. The Second Young Master has already dealt with that steward Hua to apologize to you, why won't you let me go?
I know that you want to speak up for my sister and vent General Qiao's anger, but my sister's early death has nothing to do with me!
Besides, if I really took so much money and continued to do so for so many years, how could I have hidden it from everyone?"
Qiao Xin looked at her and sneered, "You are really eloquent and good at changing the subject. You are not stupid, so why would you put such money of unknown origin in the Marquis' Mansion?
Why was it possible to hide it from everyone?
Firstly, Lingshu and I are not in the capital, and we haven't checked the accounts for a long time.
Secondly, he trusted Manager Zhang too much.
The third reason is that the people around you are too blind and believe in a two-faced person like you!
But no matter how you argue today, you have to pay back the money!"
Qiao Xin doesn’t care what her reasons are, she must get the money today!
"The money has been spent, how can the Marquis admit it?"
Qiao Erlang walked in from outside and just happened to hear the wife of Marquis Dingbian's sophistry.
"Ji Lang, why are you here?"
Qiao Xin looked at him unexpectedly.
"Grandma, if I hadn't listened to the servants, I wouldn't have known you were here.
How can I trouble you to come here in person for this matter? Just tell me!"
After Qiao Erlang finished speaking, he raised his hand and bowed to the old marquis and Marquis Dingbian.
The two of them felt very unhappy. Such an outstanding grandson should have been theirs, but now he had the surname Qiao!
The old marquis's expression eased a little, and he asked, "Erlang, what do you mean by that? What do you mean by no money left?"
"It means exactly what it says. Madam Hou really loves her son as if he were her life. She would do anything to steal for her family!
The reason why the money can't be used to subsidize the people in the Marquis' Mansion is because it's not enough for your good brother's youngest son to gamble!"
"You're talking nonsense!"
Faced with the other party's frustration, Qiao Erlang did not seem angry at all. Instead, he revealed another piece of news.
"Am I talking nonsense? Don't you know clearly that before, it was only your brother who gambled, and now you have a son. How are you going to fill this growing hole without thinking about other people's property?"
"Erlang, don't talk nonsense. Liang'er is your third uncle after all!"
"A bastard who has occupied my home for so many years, how can he be my third uncle?
With your blind eyes and blind heart, you deserve to be deceived for most of your life and be a turtle for half your life!"
"Jiro!!!"
Qiao Xin quickly stopped the unscrupulous kid.
Really, why do you tell everything to others? What if these two old people faint from anger? Erlang will be charged with being an unfilial son.
Dingbian Hou jumped up in a rage and pointed at him: "Qiao Erlang, you are so insolent!"
Insult, this was a naked insult, and he was insulted by his own grandson. The old marquis was so angry that he covered his chest and his hands and feet were shaking!
"Qiao Erlang, don't think that you can lie just because you are the son-in-law of the emperor. I can still discipline you."
Qiao Xin took a step forward, separated Dingbian Hou's fingers, and protected Qiao Erlang behind her.
He stared at the other party and said, "My Lord, please do not worry about discipline. Although Erlang is outspoken, what he said may not be untrue!
Look at your family, from the old marquis to you, the marquis, as well as Yunxin and Hengwen, Dalang and Erlang, each of them has phoenix eyes, drooping eyebrows, square faces, and handsome looks.
Several generations of grandparents and grandchildren are simply carved from the same mold. When you go out, others can tell that you are biological children at a glance.
But how come the third and fourth masters of your family have unique almond eyes and diamond-shaped faces? "
Marquis Dingbian originally thought that Qiao Xin came to scold his grandson, but he didn't expect that she was here to protect him and even to make up the loss!
Every strike is deadly!
The servants around him began to whisper to each other!
What does the old lady and Prince Consort Qiao mean?
Is it possible that the great Marquis Dingbian has been cheated on?
Who has such courage?
The servants secretly raised their eyes and looked at the top of Dingbian Marquis's head. It seemed as if they saw a green grassland with someone riding a horse and galloping across it with laughter!
But this marquis’ wife is really capable!
Dingbian Hou stared at Qiao Xin with gritted teeth, flames in his eyes!
Suddenly, someone fell from the sky, grabbed two ragged men in their hands and threw them in front of him.
Dingbian Hou and his wife recognized the two people in front of them at once, and their pupils shrank slightly.
One looked terrified, the other was furious!
Hengliang's eyes were red, he reeked of alcohol, he was half-conscious and half-asleep, looking like a drunkard, living a decadent life!
The Marquis's brother-in-law was knocked unconscious by someone and thrown to the ground, still unconscious!
"My Lord, I have brought the people back!"
The guard in black robes stared coldly at the two people on the ground.
"I caught the fourth son and brother-in-law of the Marquis's Mansion in Prince Liu's gambling house.
When the subordinates arrived, the two had already lost five hundred taels in the VIP room, but they were still unwilling to leave. They were even brazenly saying that they would move Jun Kang Tang to the gambling table in the future!
The manager and employees of the gambling house can testify.
My subordinates also found out the number of times the Fourth Young Master and his brother-in-law had entered and exited the Music Hall in recent years.
They always left after losing everything. A rough calculation shows that they have put more than 50,000 or 60,000 taels of silver into the account in the past few years."
Qiao Jilang took a step forward, put his hands behind his back, stretched out one leg, and used his toes to lift up Hengliang's face.
"The Marquis's Mansion is indeed rich and powerful, with a large family and business, and the monthly allowance given to each of the masters is so generous that even this prince consort is very excited.
Why didn't I notice before that this face is so similar to Manager Zhang? "
At this moment, when it comes to fear, who can be compared to Zhang Zhi who is still kneeling on the ground.
He didn't even dare to raise his head now, and wished he could bury himself in the ground.
From the moment Qiao Erlang revealed the truth, he knew that he was completely finished. His family was on the verge of success, but they were dragged down to death by these two idiots!
Zhang Zhi shouted in horror: "My Lord, please be careful with your words. How can I be compared with the fourth son of the Marquis's Mansion? There are so many similar people in this world. Why do you have to praise me so much, my Lord?"
Qiao Erlang stroked his ring with a nonchalant look on his face.
"Did I tell you guys that you're related? Are you so eager to distance yourself from them?
Manager Zhang is trying to cover up the truth! Whether you are or not, it has nothing to do with this prince consort, but there is solid evidence that you and your group colluded to swallow up Jun Kang Tang's property!"
Qiao Xin smiled and said, "Erlang, don't argue with them. Haven't we collected all the witnesses and evidence? Since you don't want to be shameless, then go to the government office and let the government make a fair judgment. They won't wrongly accuse you, right?"
