Her voice was crisp and the people in the whole hall could hear it clearly.

Everyone looked at each other, not understanding which one was singing.

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

"I know, I ask my aunt to return all the valuable gifts you have requested from the Nan family over the years!"

Nan Baozhu was afraid that she would not understand, so she deliberately paused word by word.

Huang suddenly slapped the table: "Nothing! The two families walked around each other and gave each other gifts, which is an etiquette and rule! How can you get the things you gave back?!"

"Walking around and giving gifts to each other is indeed a ritual rule. But I wonder if my aunt, what has your Cheng family ever given us over the years?" Nan Baozhu asked with a smile.

Before Huang could answer, Nan Baoyi said unhappily: "Zhuzhu, what you said is wrong. I heard that during the holidays, my aunt would prepare a basket of apples and send someone to our house. A basket of apples is such a healthy gift!"

Nan Baozhu smiled sweetly: "But what our family gave to the Cheng family was antique calligraphy and paintings, Shu brocade and silk. Everything that the Cheng family liked in the store was like pearl hairpins and precious furniture, and they were always moved away directly, but the account was kept on our family! I was thinking, giving each other gifts is not like this, right?"

The people in the hall were dumbfounded.

The Cheng family is a scholarly family. I thought I was acting in a regular manner, but I didn’t expect that I would do such shameless things!

I went to the street to buy things, but the account was kept on my in-laws!

This operation is so sultry!

How can I talk about etiquette and integrity in a family of scholars besides this kind of virtue?

Huang clearly noticed the contemptuous eyes of the young and girls around him.

She knew that these people were children of Jinguancheng officials. If the matter was not handled well today, they would tell their parents that the Cheng family would become a joke that Jinguancheng would be!

She said in a deep voice: "Nan Baozhu, you are a little girl, you can't even settle the accounts. What kind of relationships do you know? If you dare to talk nonsense, I will send someone to invite your mother! Come on--"

Nan Baoyi interrupted: "Yes Zhuzhu, you can't talk nonsense and wrongly accuse my brother Cheng's family of innocence. If only there was an account book, it would be great, at least it would prove that you did not lie."

Nan Baozhu looked at her serious appearance and couldn't help but laugh.

When watching Xuehu Lake, Jiaojiao gave her a book of accounts, which clearly remembered the accounts on them, all of which were treasures and money that the Cheng family had plundered from the Southern Palace in recent years.

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

Xiao Yi sat in the corner.

He sat lazy, admiring the appearance of the young sisters showing off his fists, his thin lips always had curves.

He ordered, "Ten words, read it."

Shi Yan came in from outside, clasped his fists at everyone, took the account book, and started to recite it in a slight manner:

"On March 2, 17th year of Chongde, Mrs. Cheng bought two pairs of pearl earrings, three strings of pearl necklaces, and four pairs of agate jade bracelets in the Golden Craftsmanship, totaling 3,000 taels of silver, and paid for the Nan family!"

"On April 6, the 17th year of Chongde, Cheng Zaixi purchased eight pieces of Shu brocade in Dieyixuan, totaling 8,800 taels of silver, and paid for the Nan family!"

"On May 10, the 17th year of Chongde, Mrs. Cheng purchased four treasures and three sets of study in Baoyanzhai, totaling 7,000 taels of silver, and paid for the Nan family!"

“…”

"On November 20, 20th year of Chongde, ahem, two days ago, Mrs. Cheng ordered a gold-silicon nanmu furniture set on Furong Street, totaling 50,000 taels of silver to pay for the Nan family!"

He finished his thoughts one by one, and the whole room was stunned.

Over the past three years, the total amount of money paid by the Nan family for the Cheng family has to be millions of taels, right?!

It’s not just the antique calligraphy and paintings I asked for during festivals and festivals!

Tsk, the Cheng family, it’s so shameless!

The Cheng family looked pale.

Huang's body was shaking, raising his hand to cover his forehead, and his delicate eyebrows were deeply frowning.

She couldn't believe that the Nan family was so stingy that they even took the account intently!

Their family is so rich. As a family member, she just spends some money on them. What's the point? As for how to write it down like this?

Could it be that they are hoping that they will 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's wrong with her spending some money?!

Cheng Deyu's face was cold.

Even if he was beaten to death, his family would have taken so much money from the Nan family!

He thought, but he just received some small gifts...

Nan Bao's clothes stood silently with his head down.

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

Because my grandmother and second aunt loved her, she was afraid that she would not live well when she married into the Cheng family in the future, and that Huang would bully her in the future, so she would agree with the Cheng family's requests...

But in her previous life, she was so stupid and allowed the powerful to frame her family. She watched her relatives die tragically, but she couldn't even stop her!

Everyone in the hall was shocked.

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

He sneezes and saw that everyone was not talking, thinking it was his turn to appear.

So he followed Cheng Deyu's instructions and walked up with the account book and said sternly: "Master said it well, it is natural to pay back the debt! The broken moon bow, white jade hairpin, jade cauldron and antique calligraphy and paintings, all 0,000 taels of silver will be added together! Tell me, what will your Nan family pay for?!"

After he finished calling, he noticed that the atmosphere in the hall was even more weird.

Nan Baozhu cursed: "I'll pay you a damn head! All these things are from my family, so I'm so embarrassed to ask us to pay, oh!"

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

She held Nan Baoyi's little hand and said gently: "If the family doesn't speak two words, Jiaojiao finally came to our house to play, so of course she had to have fun. Why bother talking about money and hurt feelings? There is a chef in our mansion who is best at making sweet cakes that little girls like. Jiaojiao stays here at night and my aunt will accompany you to eat?"

Nan Baoyi instantly entered the state.

She pulled her hand back with tears on her face, and Xizi held her heart in tears and felt heartbroken: "I didn't expect that, I never expected... my aunt actually took so much money from my family... Oh, my heart hurts so much!"

She turned around and lay on the flower table, her thin shoulders shook, as if she was crying too much.

Huang's face was gloomy.

The dead girl from the Nan family is so good at acting!

From her perspective, I could clearly see her laughing!

Just when he was upset, Xiao Yi said lightly:

"Madam Cheng, please compensate the Nan family for the losses over the past three years according to the account book."

Huang couldn't believe it.

Looking at her, Xiao Yi held the teacup with a smile, showing a noble attitude.

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

"Mrs. Just now, even if Jiaojiao married into your family, Chengfu and Nanfu are still two families. This marquis thinks that everyone present can testify."

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

"I understand." Xiao Yi smiled, "That is to say, the prefect Cheng has received huge gifts from the people under his rule over the years and does not intend to return them. The law of the State of South Vietnam stipulates that any official who privately accepts more than 100,000 taels of silver will be confiscated. The amount involved in the case of prefect Cheng reaches millions of taels of silver. I am afraid that it will be implicated in the nine tribes!"

Nan Baoyi was shocked!

Can you still use this method to collect debts?!
