After Rebirth, I Became a Powerful Minister’s Beloved

Her voice was crisp and clear, and everyone in the hall could hear her clearly.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing which song was sung.

Huang laughed angrily: "Nan Baozhu, do you know what you are talking about?"

"Yes, I ask Auntie to return all the precious gifts you have extorted from the Nan family all these years!"

Nan Baozhu was afraid that she would not understand, so she purposely paused every word.

Mrs. Huang slapped the table suddenly: "Nonsense! Two families walk around and give each other gifts, which is the etiquette rule! How can you take back the things you give away?!"

"Walking around and giving gifts to each other is indeed a rule of etiquette. But dare I ask Auntie, has your Cheng family given anything to our family these years?" Nan Baozhu asked with a smile.

Before Huang could answer, Nan Baoyi said displeasedly: "Zhuzhu, what you said is wrong. I heard that every year and festival, my aunt would prepare a basket of apples and send them to our house. A basket of apples Ah, what a healthy gift!"

Nan Baozhu smiled sweetly: "But what our family gave to the Cheng family were antique calligraphy and paintings, Sichuan brocade and silk. Everything that the Cheng family likes in the shop, such as pearls and hairpins, such as expensive furniture, has always been directly Moved away, but our family is responsible for the bill! I thought, giving each other gifts, isn’t this the way of gifting?”

The people in the hall were dumbfounded.

The Cheng family is a scholarly family, and they thought they behaved well, but they didn't expect to do such shameless things!

Go shopping on the street, but the bill is charged to the in-laws!

This operation is too coquettish!

Returning books to the family, how can this kind of virtue be worthy of talking about etiquette, justice, integrity and shame?

Huang clearly noticed the contemptuous gazes of young girls and boys around her.

She knew that these people were the children of officials in Jinguancheng. If today's matter was not handled well, they would go home and mention it to their parents, and the Cheng family would become a joke of Jinguancheng!

She said in a deep voice: "Nan Baozhu, you are a little girl who can't even calculate accounts, what kind of human relations do you know? If you dare to talk nonsense, I will send someone to invite your mother! Come here—"

Nan Baoyi interrupted: "Yes, Zhuzhu, you can't talk nonsense and wrong my brother Cheng's family. It would be great if there was an account book, at least it can prove that you are not lying."

Seeing her serious appearance, Nan Baozhu almost couldn't help laughing.

When watching the snow lake,

Jiaojiao gave her an account book, on which she clearly remembered all the treasures and money the Cheng family had scavenged from Nanfu in the past few years.

She took out the account book from her arms, "Unfortunately, I really have it!"

Xiao Yi sat in the corner.

He sat lazily, admiring the appearance of the little sisters flexing their fists, his thin lips were always curved.

He ordered: "Ten words, you read."

Shi Yan came in from the outside, cupped his fists at the crowd, took the account book, and read it in a rhythmic tone:

"On March 2nd, the seventeenth year of Chongde, Mrs. Cheng bought two pairs of pearl earrings, three strings of pearl necklaces, and four pairs of agate jade bracelets at Jinchaiji. The total amount was three thousand taels of silver. I paid for it on behalf of the Nan family!"

"On April 6th of the seventeenth year of Chongde, Cheng Zaixi bought eight pieces of Shu brocade in Dieyixuan, totaling 8,800 taels of silver, and paid for the Nan family!"

"On May 10th, the seventeenth year of Chongde, Mrs. Cheng purchased three sets of four treasures of the study in Baoyanzhai, with a total of 7,000 taels of silver, and paid for the Nan family!"

"..."

"On November 20, the 20th year of Chongde, heck, that is, two days ago, Madam Cheng ordered a set of gold silk nanmu furniture on Furong Street, with a total of 50,000 taels of silver, and paid for the Nan family!"

He finished reading one by one, and everyone in the hall was dumbfounded.

In the past three years, the sum of money and change that Nan's family paid for Cheng's family must be millions of taels, right? !

Not counting the antique calligraphy and paintings that were asked for from Nanfu during the festivals!

Tsk, the Cheng family, what a shame!

The Cheng family looked pale.

Huang's figure was precarious, and he raised his hand to cover his forehead, his delicate eyebrows were deeply frowned.

She couldn't believe that the Nan family was so stingy, and even deliberately kept the account!

Their family is extremely rich, as her in-laws, isn't she just spending a little money from them, what's the matter, why write it down so deliberately? !

Could it be that they are expected to fail to pay back the debt in the future? !

Besides, the Nan family donates hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to the poor every year. What happened to her spending some money? What happened? !

Cheng De's face was cold.

Even if he was beaten to death, he would never have imagined that the family actually took so much money from the Nan family!

He thought that he just received some small gifts...

Nan Baoyi bowed his head and stood silently.

She knew that the family was actually forced to bear these expenses.

Because grandmother and second aunt loved her very much, they were afraid that she would have a bad life when she married into the Cheng family, and that the Huang family would bully her in the future, so they responded to the Cheng family's request...

But in her previous life, she was so stupid, she let the rich and powerful frame her family, and watched her relatives pass away tragically, but she couldn't even stop it!

Everyone in the hall was in shock.

The old housekeeper who was dozing behind Cheng De suddenly woke up.

He sneezed, and seeing that everyone was silent, he thought it was his turn to appear.

So he followed Cheng De's instructions, went forward holding the account book, and said sharply: "The master is right, it is only right and proper to pay back the debt! Broken moon bow, white jade hairpin, jasper small tripod, and antique calligraphy and painting, all add up to zero. There must be 20,000 taels of silver! Tell me, what compensation will your Nan family get?!"

After he finished shouting, he noticed that the atmosphere in the hall was even more strange.

Nan Baozhu cursed: "I'll pay you a dead man's head! These things all belong to my family, so I'm ashamed to ask us to pay for it, bah!"

Huang exhaled and inhaled for a long time, and finally recovered a little consciousness.

She took Nan Baoyi's little hand and said softly: "One family doesn't speak two different languages. Jiaojiao came to our house to play with great difficulty. Naturally, she has to have fun. Why talk about money to hurt feelings? There is a cook in our house , best at making sweet cakes that little girls love to eat, Jiaojiao stays at night, aunt will eat with you?"

Nan Baoyi instantly entered the state.

She withdrew her hand with tears all over her face, and Xizi held her heart in grief: "I never thought, I never thought... Auntie actually took so much money from my family... Ah, my heart hurts so much!"

She turned around and lay down on the flower table, shrugging her thin shoulders, as if she couldn't help crying.

Huang's face was gloomy.

The dead girl of the Nan family is too good at acting!

From her angle, she could clearly see her twitching and laughing!

When he was feeling annoyed, Xiao Yi said lightly:

"Mrs. Cheng, please make full compensation for the losses of the Nan family over the past three years according to the account books."

Huang couldn't believe it.

She looked over and saw Xiao Yi holding the teacup with a half-smile, showing a dignified attitude.

She gritted her teeth: "It's all a family, it's just a gift, what's the point?"

"Madam just made it clear that even if Jiaojiao married into your family, Cheng's and Nan's are still two families. This Marquis thinks that everyone present can testify."

Mrs. Cheng's face turned even darker: "Even if it is not a family, the money is voluntarily given by the Nan family!"

"Benhou understands." Xiao Yi smiled, "In other words, the prefect Cheng has received huge gifts from the people under his rule over the years, and he does not intend to return them. According to the laws of South Vietnam, any official who accepts more than 100,000 taels of silver privately , When ransacking the house and asking to be executed. The amount involved in the case by Cheng Taishou has reached millions of taels of silver, tsk, I am afraid that the nine clans will be implicated!"

Nan Baoyi was stunned!

Debt collection, how can you still use this method? !

The powerful minister is too powerful!
