Lin Yanqing was unmoved by Mrs. Liu's words, but Minister Liu started to curse after hearing the words.
"Yunxiang, what do you want dad to say about you? Have you done too many stupid things because of your soft-heartedness since you were a child? How dare you help cover up Liu Jie when he commits such a bastard thing! After causing such a big disaster, you let me and How can your mother plead for you? No matter how your parents-in-law punish you this time, you will bear it well!"
Mrs. Liu secretly looked at Lin Yanqing and Mrs. Lin: "My daughter knows how her father and mother punish her, and she never complains."
Lin Yanqing ignored the Liu family's father and daughter's chanting and beating, and asked Liu Jie: "Liu Jie, you heard it too. The second lady only admitted to rescuing you, but you still have to hand over the greedy money."
Liu Jie kowtowed and said hurriedly: "Master Mingjian! How could the young man dare to embezzle so much silver without the instruction of the second lady? If the villain had so much silver, he would have fled the city long ago. Why should he come back and be framed? "
Mrs. Liu sternly said: "Liu Jie! I put you in such high regard, and even though I knew you had made a mistake, I still took the risk to save you out of love for my fellow clan. You are just ungrateful. How can you look down on me like this!"
Liu Jie retorted: "If I hadn't known about your corruption and helped you fight the crime, how could you have bailed me out?"
Mrs. Liu: "I have recovered all the money you took from Baiyin Piano Shop. I have already informed my father and mother. I wanted to bail you out because it was your first offense! But I didn't expect that you would recover the money because of me." He harbored a grudge, and instead of remembering my kindness in rescuing him, he falsely accused me."
Lin Yanqing looked cold but said nothing to stop him, letting the two of them confront each other.
Liu Jie felt a little strange when he heard Mrs. Liu's words, but at this moment, in order to save his life, he didn't think much about it. He knelt down, crawled forward two steps and shouted.
"Master Mingjian! What the Second Madam reported back to you is definitely not the real amount. She just made an account of the exposed Baiyin Piano Shop and took out a small amount of silver to pay. In fact, eight of the ten dowry shops owned by the First Madam have been The second wife has changed shopkeepers, and all eight shops have problems. Most of the accounts in the past two years have been flat, but in fact all the profits have gone into the pockets of the second wife, as much as two hundred thousand taels!"
Mrs. Liu was heartbroken when she heard this: "What nonsense are you talking about! Shut up!"
Liu Shilang also scolded: "You ungrateful beast! If you dare to bite randomly again, I will break your dog legs!"
All of a sudden, several members of the Liu family, including Lin Siran and Lin Jinyun, began to scold Liu Jie and made a fuss.
Lin Yanqinghei waved the tea cup on his hand to the ground with a sullen face, and the sound of breaking porcelain instantly silenced the hall.
Everyone looked at Lin Yanqing's angry face and returned to their respective places.
"If there's a commotion, we'll go to the front of the palace and talk it over. Lin Song, open the box and show it to the Second Madam and Liu Shilang."
Lin Song stepped forward and opened the box sent by the General's Mansion, took out the contents and handed them to the Liu family, Lin Siran and his son, and everyone in the Liu family.
Everyone's expressions turned stiff as they accepted the vouchers or account books handed over by Lin Song.
After reading it, Lin Siran shouted to the old lady: "Mother, how could Yunxiang have the guts to embezzle so much silver from my sister-in-law's store? Where did these so-called credentials come from? It must be some villain who slandered her!"
Mrs. Liu also cried and crawled forward two steps: "Yes, mother, you know your daughter-in-law best. How dare your daughter-in-law do such a thing."
Lin Jinyun, Liu Shilang and his wife, and Liu Jingren and his wife also defended Liu and cried out for injustice.
