"My sister may have lived in the countryside for a long time. She doesn't know that everything used in our Protector's Mansion is carefully selected. It's not like other mansions where you can just make do with simple meals. Otherwise, it will damage the prestige of the high-level mansion." Zhan Xin.
My son is not at the mercy of others.
Avoiding the important and taking the easy, not only explains the reason, but also satirizes Ling Xiyue for living in the countryside for a long time and being ignorant.
Ling Xiyue didn't argue with her about the matter, and blinked her eyes in confusion until she felt hurt, "What about the apparent account?"
She didn't have the time to look through it slowly, but the group of people trained by her were not just freeloaders. After the bill was sent to Tianxia Pavilion, the checked account book was sent over in half a day.
Back then, Zhan Xin'er and her good mother planned to push the original owner into the lotus pond. He almost died, but he didn't succeed. However, he was disfigured. This incident left a lot of memories in her mind.
Debts must be repaid, right?
"This, I..." Zhan Xin'er stuttered.
By the way, it's most likely that this ugly guy is making up nonsense. The blind cat bumped into a dead mouse.
"Sister, you must have made a mistake in your calculations. When you first start learning, you will make mistakes sometimes. Just practice more. Don't be anxious. You have just returned home and there are still many things to learn." Zhan Xin'er curled her lips and smiled confidently.
.
Want to trick her?
Not that easy! xdw8
I almost fell into this idiot's trap and got into trouble.
"Oh?" Ling Xiyue smiled and handed over a stack of bills in her hand, "Sister, look at what's wrong?"
Zhan Xin'er snorted coldly in her heart, but she smiled very gently on her face.
"Okay." She took it and flipped through it.
Originally, I just flipped through it casually, looking for a few omissions, and then dismissed it. However, I didn't expect that the more I looked back, the more wrong the look on Zhan Xin'er's face became. Her fingers were trembling, her back felt cold, and beads of cold sweat were pouring out of her forehead.
risk.
Tables, blocks... This is a accounting method she has never seen before, but it is easy to understand and anyone can understand it.
The most important thing is that there is no mistake in every item and every bill listed here. Many of them were large sums of money that were moved by her hands. She clearly remembered them and listed them even more clearly on the paper!
"Xin'er?" Zhan Nantian's face darkened, showing no signs of anger.
"This...this..." Zhan Xin'er couldn't form a sentence.
She did it so secretly...
How can it be!
"Grandpa, please spare my eldest sister this time." Zhan Pingting saw something was wrong and ran out in a hurry.
She kowtowed repeatedly, "Sister, I didn't keep the money for myself. I used it to subsidize the Marquis's house. She was also worried that I would not be able to marry well in the future because of my status as a commoner, so I promised to leave some dowry for me."
As a person who served before and after An Ma, Zhan Pingting naturally knew something about what Zhan Xin'er did. When the incident came to light, she naturally couldn't let Zhan Xin'er bear the burden alone. She hurriedly came out to plead for mercy and share the responsibility...
"Bastard!" Zhan Xin'er almost vomited blood in anger.
She hasn't lost yet and there is still a way to escape. Why the hell is she busy confessing?
"Sister..." Zhan Pingting looked confused.
Does the eldest sister want to bear the responsibility alone?
Ling Xiyue's eyebrows slightly raised, she really didn't know what to say to Zhan Pingting.
Why……
How do you say that?
Don't be afraid of opponents who are like gods, but be afraid of teammates who are like pigs.
Zhan Xin'er collapsed on the ground, the rice paper falling from his hands.
It's over, it's all over.
Zhan Nantian pursed his lips tightly, and after staring at the two people kneeling on the ground for a long time, he said, "Xi Yue, I'll leave this matter to you."
In fact, he knew many things, but even if he was born in a collateral line, he was still a descendant of the Protector's House. It was a trivial matter. Besides, Xin'er had worked hard over the years without any merit, so he could just turn a blind eye.
.
But I never thought that raising a tiger would lead to trouble and it would be difficult to calm down the desire.
But what surprised him even more was Xiyue!
It seems that there is hope for his Protector of the Country...
Ling Xiyue nodded, "If you don't follow the rules, you can't make a circle. There should be clear rewards and punishments, but we are still a family after all." She said with a smile, "Sister added the more than 30,000 taels of gold that I accidentally missed.
Five, it’s a small punishment but a big warning. I’ll just return 50,000 taels to the treasury within three days.”
"What!" Zhan Xin'er's beautiful eyes widened in shock.
She had already spent her lost winnings, and now she couldn't get that much even if she sold everything, not to mention the fine of 10,000 gold. Where could she find it? Even if she sold herself, she wouldn't be able to get that much.
Blackmail?
"You are so bullying." Zhan Pingting said angrily in protest, "You just can't bear to see that your eldest sister is better than you in everything, prettier than you, and more talented than you. If you are jealous, you will become mentally distorted. At this time, you are adding insult to injury!
"
"I'm bullying you, what?" Unexpectedly, Ling Xiyue didn't hide it at all. She walked over in a few steps, stretched out her slender finger, pointed at Zhan Pingting's forehead and poked it repeatedly, "Is it possible that we need to choose an auspicious day?
It won’t work.”
Zhan Pingting shrank her head repeatedly.
"Pfft" Zhan Yunyang covered his lips with his hands, overjoyed.
Why does it look like two children fighting over food?
Does Xiyue still have such a cute side?
"Grandpa, look" Zhan Pingting was about to cry again.
"Okay!" Zhan Nantian rolled his sleeves and Shen Ran snorted coldly, "Just do as Xi Yuegang said and don't give any punishment. Wouldn't it be a violation of the rules? If you can't make up for it, you can move to another courtyard to repent. Protect the country.
We can’t afford to feed white-eyed wolves who eat everything in and out.”
Move to another courtyard?
It’s no different than hairdressing!
Under this series of blows, Zhan Xin'er was about to collapse. If she lost the support of the Protector's House, her position as a crown princess and her dream of being a queen would disappear. After all, she was not Ling Xiyue, she was here to recuperate.
"Go down." Zhan Nantian waved.
As soon as this ugly monster comes back, grandpa wants to drive him away over a trivial matter?
Zhan Xin'er's eyes were red and bloodshot, and her heart was extremely unbalanced. Under the mixture of grief and anger, she stood up suddenly, like crazy, and vomited out the resentment that had been accumulated in her heart for a long time, "I really don't understand why you are so partial, grandpa, I will use some money."
What's the matter? Didn't you pay too much for this fool? I am also a descendant of the Hou family, but I am not convinced. Ever since she was a child, Ling Xiyue is just a bastard outsider, but you have protected her everywhere. What qualifications does a bastard have?"
"Snapped!"
The rest of the words were interrupted by a slap in the face.
Zhan Xin'er was knocked to the ground, with stars in his eyes and half of his cheeks swollen!
Zhan Nantian was furious, "You say it again?"
Who dares to say that his Xiyue is a bastard?
Who dares to say!
"Are you awake? If not, try again." Zhan Nantian's nostrils were about to spurt fire.
Zhan Xin'er covered her face and backed away. She had really sobered up. She had never seen the old man so angry before.
Ling Xiyue hurried over, and while giving the old man some luck, she smiled and said, "It turns out that my sister's heart is right in the middle."
"You!" Zhan Xin'er was speechless for a moment.
The corner of Zhan Nantian's mouth twitched. He was neither smiling nor angry.
"When you accuse others, have you ever asked yourself if your intentions are right?" Ling Xiyue suddenly asked with a sneer.
The original owner was no longer unreasonable and acting crazy, but she was kind-hearted and had never done anything harmful. If the old man hadn't cared and protected her, she would have been killed by these people ten thousand times. What did she do wrong?
But despite everything, he still couldn't escape the tragic death in the end.
Zhan Yunyang stopped watching the show and waved, "Take the eldest lady down."
"Yes!" The two soldiers responded, almost dragging her away.
"What's going on with your face?" Zhan Nantian was stunned.
Only then did the old man realize that Zhan Pingting's face was swollen like a pig's head and her whole body was squirming. But he clearly remembered that he had hit Zhan Xin'er just now in a fit of rage.
He is so old and confused. Did he remember it wrong?
