After rebirth, I became a treacherous minister Black Moonlight

All the emotions that rose in Lu Lingxiao's heart were shattered completely by her last sentence.

He looked at her in disbelief, his dry lips moving several times: "You...you have been staying here...just for the money?"

Meng Qianqian looked at the mattress on him and said, "I am also concerned about my husband's injury."

Lu Lingxiao closed his eyes: "At least you still have a trace of goodness..."

Meng Qianqian tilted her head: "Otherwise, if my husband dies, who will return my money?"

Lu Lingxiao couldn't catch his breath, his face turned purple, and he growled, "Meng!"

Meng Qianqian was not annoyed at all. She waved her hand and smoothly took an abacus into her arms: "My husband is full of energy and seems to have recovered well. Then, let's check the accounts. If my husband doesn't like to check the accounts, you can ask the housekeeper to come over."

"Madam, I can check the accounts!"

Shen Yan stuck a head in from outside the door.

Lu Lingxiao's face darkened: "Get out of here!"

"What's so bad about it?"

Shen Yan muttered to himself as he walked out of the yard.

Meng Qianqian smiled: "It doesn't matter if you don't call anyone. My account is very well done and it is clear at a glance. My husband will understand it at a glance."

Of course Lu Lingxiao would not call anyone. It was embarrassing enough to be asked to pay back the debt by his wife, and now she was calculating all the time to make him look stingy. He couldn't afford to lose face like that!

He turned his face away and said, "However much you owe, just take it from the reward!"

Meng Qianqian looked hesitant.

"What's wrong?" Lu Lingxiao glanced at her and said sarcastically, "Forgot that you were born into a merchant family. You won't get up early without profit, and you won't borrow money without interest. I will pay you the interest you deserve!"

Meng Qianqian blinked: "But, my husband's reward is not enough to pay back."

Lu Lingxiao's body trembled: "How is it possible?"

His reward was a full ten thousand taels and a box of jewels!

Meng Qianqian nodded at the account book on the bed.

Lu Lingxiao endured the pain in the affected area, grabbed it and turned to the last page. When he saw the total account, his eyes almost went dark: "Thirty-six thousand taels? How can it be so much? How much interest did you calculate?"

“Here’s the interest.”

Meng Qianqian handed him another account book.

Lu Lingxiao gritted his teeth: "Anything else?"

Meng Qianqian stood up and said calmly, "The first one is for the expenses of the mansion and the subsidies for the shops. The second one is for the interest and the hole I filled for your Lu family when I married here."

Lu Lingxiao felt unwell.

Meng Qianqian said, "My dear husband, please take your time to read it. I will move the ten thousand taels first. If you don't understand, please ask a few accountants to help you. It doesn't matter if you accidentally damage it. I have copied many copies anyway."

Lu Lingxiao's face flushed with anger, and he said angrily, "What do you mean? Do you think I will default on my debt?"

Meng Qianqian smiled slightly.

Lu Lingxiao almost vomited blood.

He signed with a cold expression, and Meng Qianqian took out cinnabar and asked him to press his fingerprint.

Then he looked at Meng Qianqian's back without turning back, and thought of something. He held back his shame and called her, "Can you... leave one thousand taels?"

"No."

Meng Qianqian refused without hesitation.

Lu Lingxiao forbearingly said, "I promised Wan'er to buy some clothes for her and her unborn child... If you hadn't taken Wan'er's fabric last time, I wouldn't have done this."

"I stole her material? Even if it's true, so what? She only lost the material, but I lost my husband's heart."

Meng Qianqian covered her chest and said, her expression instantly turned cold, "Banxia, ​​go get the silver, don't leave a single ingot behind!"

Banxia said relievedly: "Yes! Miss!"

Meng Qianqian stopped as soon as she stepped out of the door, turned around and smiled at him: "By the way, the people from the Governor's Office asked me to remind you that you still have ninety strokes left to be beaten. When your injuries are healed, remember to go find someone to beat you... uh, accept the punishment."

Lu Lingxiao vomited blood.

Banxia counted the gifts in the study and said in confusion, "Miss, several pieces of jewelry are missing! I remember when they were delivered, there was a pair of blood jade bracelets, a pair of mutton-fat jade earrings, and a mutton-fat jade bead flower!"

Meng Qianqian called the servant who was guarding the study over and asked, "Who took it?"

The servant lowered his head and said, "It's Lulu. She said Miss Lin has no jewelry, so she came over to pick some."

"It's this vixen again!" Banxia put her hands on her hips and stamped her feet, "My uncle hasn't even woken up yet. Has she asked my uncle and my young lady?"

The servant whispered, "The eldest young master has ordered that Miss Lin can take anything he has."

Banxia: "Miss!"

Meng Qianqian: "Let's go to Fengyuan."

Maple Courtyard.

Luoluo was combing Lin Wan'er's hair and pinning a white magnolia flower in her hair: "This kind of jade is worthy of you, what are the things we wore before? Look, you are as beautiful as the fairies in the paintings! If the general saw you, I wonder how fascinated he would be!"

Lin Wan'er looked at herself in the bronze mirror and was quite satisfied. Soon, her eyes fell on a pair of blood jade bracelets on the table.

Pure red can only be worn by the first wife.

Green Rose's eyes flashed, and she picked up a blood jade bracelet: "Miss, I'll put it on you!"

Lin Wan'er hesitated for a moment and slowly raised her wrist.

Bang!

The half-open door was kicked open by Banxia.

Lin Wan'er and Luoluo were startled at the same time and turned to look at the person who came.

They didn't expect that the person who came was Meng Qianqian.

Meng Qianqian was wearing a light pink fur coat worth thousands of gold. The soft white fox fur was gently blown by the cold wind, caressing her fair face.

She was dressed luxuriously and had a noble temperament. Lin Wan'er, who was dressed up, instantly looked a bit shabby.

Meng Qianqian glanced at him and said calmly, "Go get it."

Banxia and several servants from Haitangyuan entered the house immediately.

Green Radish asked: "What are you doing?"

Banxia snatched the blood jade bracelet back from her hand and put it away together with the one on the table: "A vixen is worthy of wearing such a fine bracelet? Pah!"

Luoluo reached out to grab it: "This is a gift from the general to my daughter!"

A servant stood in front of her and slapped her: "You are already pregnant, yet you still call yourself a girl? Aren't you ashamed?"

Banxia snorted, "That's right!"

The other two servants blocked Lin Wan'er's way and didn't waste any words with her. One on each side, they forced Lin Wan'er to kneel on the ground and took off her earrings and pearl flowers.

Lin Wan'er looked at Meng Qianqian coldly.

"You still dare to glare at the Madam?"

The servant on the left slapped her twice, "If you glare at me again, I'll dig your eyes out! I have plenty of ways to deal with a filthy thing like you!"

Lin Wan'er was hit so hard that her head tilted to the side, her hair was messy, and the messy hair stuck to the corners of her lips. She looked as miserable as if she was being executed.

She tried to struggle, but was held down by two rough servants, and her knees were sore from kneeling.

Meng Qianqian looked at her expressionlessly.

She clenched her hands tightly, hatred surging in her eyes.

Banxia came over holding the jewelry: "Miss, it's all here! All ready!"

Meng Qianqian said calmly: "Let's go."
