"Auntie, during this time, the house has been in a huge deficit, and the shops have no money to turn around. So I checked the account books carefully and found that you have withdrawn a total of more than 30,000 taels of silver. Now I don't even have money to turn around my business."

Chu Huanyan's expression was bitter, she paused for a moment, and then spoke in a pretense of doubt.

"Speaking of which, you and Zeyuan have only been in the imperial city for half a year. This is not only withdrawing money, but also pawning relics. Isn't the expense of the two of you too much?"

"We spent tens of thousands of taels of silver in half a year. Do the mother and son eat ginseng and deer antlers all day long?"

"That's right. Even a wealthy family can't spend tens of thousands of taels of silver in half a year, and the money spent is still the money of Ning'an Marquis Mansion."

In an instant, the onlookers turned against each other one after another.

"Don't listen to her nonsense. She's talking about tens of thousands of taels of silver, which is nothing!"

Yang became anxious and stood up immediately, looking at Chu Huanyan angrily.

"Forget it if you don't want to help, how can you frame someone here out of thin air!"

"Auntie, when did I frame you? I remember it clearly in the account book. Speaking of which, the account book is still in my carriage. If you don't believe it, I will show it to you." As she said that, Chu Huanyan gestured The first quarter moon.

Xianyue immediately took out the account book from the desk drawer inside the carriage.

"Even if there is an account book, you must have forged it. I have never withdrawn that much money!" Yang said urgently, "Yuan'er, please testify for my mother."

Lin Zeyuan's face turned ugly when Chu Huanyan said thirty thousand taels.

Looking at Chu Huanyan, he said solemnly: "Huanyan, you must not talk nonsense about this kind of thing, and it is a serious crime to falsify the account books."

"Ze Yuan, didn't you say that you didn't know every time my aunt drew money? Could it be that you knew exactly how much money my aunt drew every time and that you were just lying to me?"

Lin Zeyuan's expression froze, "Of course not! I..."

"That's right. My aunt didn't tell you when she drew the money. How did you know the amount? As for this account book, I have never forged it. If you don't believe it, we can go to the Yamen to verify the authenticity. Just in time, you can ask by the way. Ask, what did you find out about the liar just now?"

This account book was indeed forged by her, and she had placed it in the carriage in advance just in case.

However, Lin Zeyuan definitely didn't have the courage to go to the Yamen with her to verify the authenticity. After all, there was still a charge of paying off a liar waiting for him!

Lin Zeyuan was speechless, his eyes were cold, and when he spoke again, he played the emotional card again.

"Yan'er, why is this happening? Are you and I going to go to court? There must be a misunderstanding on this matter."

"There is no misunderstanding." Chu Huanyan glanced at the people watching, "I just want to prove that I did not forge any account books. And..."

Chu Huanyan looked at Yang again, "I have the account book as proof. I wonder which pawn shop my aunt mentioned about pawning the relics. Do you have the pawn tickets?"

Yang's figure trembled, and she felt guilty for a moment.

This method was just thought of in a hurry. There was no time to prepare any fake pawn tickets!

"I, I..." Yang hesitated and was speechless.

Seeing this situation, the people watching began to question the authenticity of the pawn.

"It's not like there aren't any tickets at all, it's just a random fabrication!"

"It looks like to me, maybe it's not enough to go to someone's house to withdraw money, but they also want to cheat money in other ways."

"Don't talk nonsense, how could our Lin family do such a thing!" Yang glared fiercely at the people who spoke.

"Mom, don't get excited." Lin Zeyuan quickly pretended to help Yang and signaled her to calm down.

Yang took a deep breath, and when she spoke again, she squeezed out two tears.

"Yuan'er, I originally thought that you had a kind-hearted, respectful and polite fiancée, and that their Ning'an Marquis Mansion was polite and polite. But I didn't expect that after all, I still despise our Lin family for being in decline, and that you would be unfairly insulted with such nonsense. "

"Auntie, please be careful. I never said you were deliberately trying to cheat money. I just asked about pawning tickets. Why are you so excited?" Chu Huanyan looked calm.

"You are still making excuses. You are clearly using your power to bully others and want to try me as a prisoner!"

Yang cursed sternly, but when she saw that Chu Huanyan was unmoved, her heart skipped a beat and she shouted again.

"Being bullied like this, my mother-in-law doesn't have to live anymore. I might as well die!"

With that said, Yang pushed Lin Zeyuan away and rushed out of the crowd of onlookers. She was crying and about to hit the wall on the opposite side of the street.

Chu Huanyan's eyes turned cold, "Xianyue, stop her!"

She didn't believe that Yang really wanted to die, but if she bumped into him, even if it only bled a little, it would be detrimental to the Marquis Mansion if the news spread even more.

Lin Zeyuan obviously understood his mother's intention. Although he rushed forward to stop her with an eager look, he deliberately bumped into Xian Yue when she stepped forward to buy Yang some time.

When Yang arrived at the wall, he gritted his teeth and calculated how hard he would hit it.

At the critical moment, a rope suddenly wrapped around her right leg.

With a strong pull on the rope, Yang fell to the ground before she could even scream, and then she was dragged directly away from the wall and into the middle of the street.

Everyone looked at this scene in surprise, and before they could react, the next moment, a luxurious carriage slowly came and stopped in front of them.

Qin Li, who was driving the car, jumped out of the carriage, still holding the rope in his hand. He swung his right hand hard, and Yang rolled uncontrollably on the ground and was tied up tightly with the rope.

On the carriage, slender fingers lifted the curtain. Xiao Jinzhi looked lazily at Yang who fell in front of the carriage, his handsome eyebrows slightly wrinkled and his thin lips raised.

"Where did this crazy woman come from?"

Yang was tied to the ground and was furious. Before she even had time to see what the person asking the question looked like, she opened her mouth and cursed: "You bastard, let me go quickly, or I won't be able to spare you!"

"Yuan'er, Yuan'er! Come and save me quickly!"

Lin Zeyuan stepped forward quickly, trying to help Yang up

"This is His Royal Highness the current Crown Prince." Chu Huanyan introduced.

Lin Zeyuan suddenly froze while untying the rope, and looked up at Chu Huanyan in surprise, "Seriously?"

"Of course." Chu Huanyan raised her lips and turned around, bowing respectfully to Xiao Jinzhi, "I have met His Highness the Crown Prince."

The people watching quickly knelt down and saluted.

Yang, who had just cursed, was stunned for a moment, and his face was as pale as a sheet of paper.

Lin Zeyuan faced everyone's gaze and gritted his teeth and said: "Your Highness, I forgive you for being rude. Even if you are of noble status, you cannot bully my mother at will without any reason."

"Who told you it was for no reason?" Xiao Jinzhi had already gotten off the carriage, standing tall and looking down at Lin Zeyuan.

The latter tried hard to control the tension in his heart, pretended to be calm, and met Xiao Jinzhi's eyes without being humble or overbearing.

"Then I dare to ask His Royal Highness, what mistake did your mother make?"

"Is this..." Xiao Jinzhi glanced at Chu Huanyan with a smile, then withdrew his gaze and continued, "This crazy woman just ran rampant and frightened Gu's horse."

Onlookers: "..."

Chu Huanyan: "..."

This is the reason!

When Yang was pretending to hit the wall just now, he was at least eight feet away from Xiao Jinzhi's carriage!
