The old lady sat there and looked at Sang Li who came in from the door.

She planned to give Sang Li some warning and force him to continue to cook the books to deceive Jiang Zhinian, so that she could have more money in her private vault.

Although Jiang Zhinian took back her dowry, during the past three years, she used managers like Sang Li to transfer a lot of money from the accounts of Jiang Zhinian's shops and farms.

So she also had a private treasury, which contained a lot of silver.

Meeting Manager Sang means it has something to do with money.

That's why the old lady wanted to see him.

But when the old lady saw Sang Li, she was shocked to see that he was pale, had red eyes, and looked haggard as if he had not gotten enough rest.

But the old lady was used to hiding her emotions. "Sang Li, you are so anxious to see me, what's the matter?"

Sang Li knelt down and cried, "Please, Madam, save me. Please, Madam, save my life!"

The old lady looked grim, "Sang Li, if you have something to say, just tell me. How can you ask me to save you if you don't tell me what it is?"

Sang Li then spoke up, "Yes, Madam. Madam found out the problem with the account and calculated the money we embezzled. She asked us to make up the difference within seven days..."

"They also gave us poison to drink, and said we would be brought to justice if we didn't make up for it within seven days."

"Madam, you can't just watch me get into trouble. Please save me."

“There’s only one day left.”

Sang Li was also scared, so he went to see a doctor. The doctor was found to have indeed been poisoned, but the doctor didn't know what the poison was and couldn't cure it.

But he couldn't raise that much money, so he had to ask the old lady for help.

Who would have thought that the dowry that was confiscated from the lady could be taken back, and that the embezzled money could be found out, and the action was taken even more swiftly and decisively.

He didn't care at all about the kindness they showed him in doing things for him.

Even if they have no merit, they have worked hard.

Sang Li naturally didn't think he had done anything wrong, he just instinctively resented Jiang Zhinian.

When Sang Li embezzled money and pledged allegiance to the old lady, he also felt that Jiang Zhinian was very lenient to his subordinates and would not punish them even if they found any problems.

I never thought the lady would be so cruel.

They are dealt with without even being given time to react.

Those stewards who had not been loyal to the old lady and were driven away by her were now actually highly valued by her.

Instead, all his people were wiped out.

Sangli cried and explained everything clearly.

The old lady narrowed her eyes, her eyes flashed, "I didn't expect that she could see through the fake accounts."

"I can only say that your accounting was not good enough and she saw it."

"Are you sure you're poisoned?"

Sang Li nodded and said, "Yes, old lady, you are so cruel and ruthless!"

"My indenture is still in Madam's hands."

The indenture was in Jiang Zhinian's hands, so even if he met the officials, Jiang Zhinian could beat and kill them at will.

The old lady knew that Sang Li was useless, so she said coldly: "In that case, you just fill in the gap!"

Sang Li looked at the old lady in disbelief.

This old witch swallowed up so much silver and spoke so nicely at the time, asking him to be loyal and not to treat him unfairly.

Now that something has happened, he looks like he won't give a penny.

Especially seeing her ruthless look, Sang Li secretly hated her and continued crying, "Madam, how can we have so much money? You know best, that money is given to you as a filial gift!"

"Shut up, is this something you can just say?"

"It was obviously you who embezzled the money and falsified the accounts. Chinen found out and just asked you to make up for it. Now you are acting like a lunatic and making random accusations!"

"It's so presumptuous!"

Sang Li knew that if the old lady didn't help him, he would die. He said loudly, "Old lady, that's not what you said at the beginning."

"Madam, you said you would protect us and would not let anything happen to us, so we listened to you and helped you to falsify the accounts and embezzle the money..."

"Old lady, you can't just stand by and watch someone die..."

"The old lady just needs to use the money from her private vault to make up for us, or she can ask the lady to plead for us!"

The old lady was so angry that veins on her forehead were throbbing, and she held the cane tightly with her hands, wishing she could kill Sang Li on the spot.

"Shut up, this is nonsense."

"The old lady is not going to care about us anymore. Isn't she afraid that we will tell others about this?"

Sang Li was really scared and panicked, so he could only do this.

Moreover, he is the lady's man. There are many rumors circulating outside now, which are very unfavorable to the mansion. He believes that the old lady would not dare to touch him at this time.

Since Sang Li could be a senior manager, he must have the means and abilities to do so.

However, he underestimated the old lady's ruthlessness.

The old lady stood up and said viciously: "Sang Li is disrespectful and speaks disrespectfully. He will be punished with thirty strokes of the cane!"

Sang Li looked at the old lady's murderous eyes and realized something. He was really panicked. "Old lady, I am your man, you can't do this to me..."

The old lady winked at Mother Zhou, and naturally someone came forward to cover Sang Li's mouth.

Sang Li was dragged away and beaten with a stick.

"Crack...crack..."

Mother Zhou arranged for the strongest maid to beat the child with a stick.

Thirty hits and the man would surely be dead.

Mother Zhou looked at the old lady who was out of breath due to anger and reached out to help her breathe more smoothly. "It's not worth it for the old lady to be angry over such a person."

"Kill him and put an end to it all."

"I just wonder if the lady will blame me."

The old lady snorted coldly, "If she wants to blame someone, she has to go back to our mansion first. Besides, I helped him deal with the servant who committed treason and was a person who falsified accounts. Naturally, she should be grateful to me."

Mother Zhou said, "This Sang Li is simply courting death. He yells in front of you, old lady, and even dares to threaten you."

The old lady looked unhappy. In order to lure these managers to work for her, she had indeed made many promises.

It was because she was short of money in the first place.

After a while, the maid reported, "Madam, Steward Sang has gone!"

After hearing this, the old lady was silent for a while and said, "Let someone throw it into a mass grave."

She had just heard about the rumors outside and was angry. Adding to that what Sang Li said, she naturally couldn't control her anger.

Now that I have calmed down, I feel that something is wrong.

But if he was killed, he was killed.

"Madam, is it inappropriate to leave the body to you, Madam?"

The old lady seemed to have thought of something, and secretly calculated in her heart, saying: "This is good, killing the chicken to scare the monkey, the other managers will naturally not dare to make random accusations, the account and silver matters will end here."

The old lady didn't care about human life, but there was no reason for her to take out the money that had entered her private treasury.

Little did she know that everything the old lady did was part of Jiang Zhinian's plan.

……

This is the Bo Mansion

Jiang Zhinian prepared medicine to cure his grandmother's poison and planned to use his own blood as a guide. Just as he took out the knife, he heard a lot of news from Lian Qiao.

One was the news of Sang Li’s death, and the other was the news of a reversal of public opinion.

Lian Qiao asked in confusion, "Madam, you asked me to fight back with rumors, but I haven't done anything yet. People outside are speaking for you and sympathizing with you, while the Marquis' Mansion is being scolded."

Jiang Zhinian was stunned. She was sure that she had not asked anyone to clarify the rumor, and she was even prepared to wait for the rumor to spread throughout the capital before taking the opportunity to counterattack.

But before she could take any action, her reputation improved and all the rumors were in her favor.

Who helped her?
