On the day of the granted marriage, the daughter of a general wept and was reborn!

Aunt Liu dragged her sick body, no longer caring about the wounds on her body, and struggled to go out of the yard.

Shen Ying supported Aunt Liu, and the two stumbled out of the courtyard. But as soon as they opened the door, they saw two ferocious-looking guards.

"The eldest lady has ordered that Auntie needs to rest and not go out for the next few days."

The guard had a cold face and spoke in a low voice.

"How dare you! Are you going to put us under house arrest?" Shen Ying acted like a master and shouted angrily.

The guard just nodded and then closed the gate.

When she heard the sound of the lock being locked, Aunt Liu no longer concealed her anger and punched the wall beside her.

"Miss, the account books are all here. I have checked them and there is not one missing."

Qing'e came forward and spoke slowly.

Shen Wantang nodded, then raised his head slowly, but his brows were furrowed.

"Mother's camphorwood box?"

Shen Wantang frowned, stood up, walked forward, and leaned over to take a closer look.

When I saw the gold threads inlaid on the four corners of the camphorwood box, I was sure that it belonged to my late wife.

Ever since my late wife passed away, more and more things have been missing from the house. Now it seems that they were not lost but stolen!

"Qing'e, you have been in the mansion for a long time. Do you know where my mother's dowry went after she passed away?"

Shen Wantang calmed down, hid her tears, and asked.

"The late Madam's dowry..." Qing'e thought for a moment, then shook her head, frowning, "I really don't remember. I have never seen the late Madam's dowry in the past few years."

Haven't seen any?

Shen Wantang's face suddenly turned cold, and the resentment in his eyes was self-evident.

"Qing'e, light the candle for me."

Shen Wantang spoke coldly, stood up and walked towards the desk.

Looking at the situation, Shen Wantang might not be able to fall asleep until she finishes reading this box of account books tonight.

The candles stayed lit all night, and only when the sky brightened one day did Qing'e call for someone to come and extinguish the candles.

Shen Wantang stood up suddenly and handed the booklet in his hand to Qing'e: "Call a few guards to go to the warehouse and count these things. If there are any that are not in the booklet, mark them with a cinnabar pen."

Qing'e turned and left without saying a word.

Shen Wantang washed her face hastily, splashing cold water on her face, and only then did she feel much more sober.

Then, she took off her silk skirt and put on a cloak that she usually wore to the military camp. She tied up her long hair and went to the next yard.

"You, you dare to come!"

Seeing Shen Wantang coming alone, Shen Ying walked forward angrily and hid the candlestick in her hand behind her back.

"There are some things that I need to ask your mother for clarification."

Shen Wantang raised her eyes slightly, and a cold and murderous aura suddenly filled the air.

Immediately, outside the courtyard gate, Qing'e led a group of people forward.

"Miss, the inventory has been completed. Those that have not been put into storage are marked in the booklet." Qing'e handed over the booklet.

Shen Wantang glanced at it casually, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: "It seems that he has embezzled a lot of money."

Then, she raised her eyelids and said, "Take good care of the Second Miss."

As soon as she finished speaking, several old maids behind her came forward, grabbed Shen Ying tightly, and took the opportunity to snatch the candlestick from her hand.

Shen Wantang stepped into the room.

As soon as I stepped half a foot in, a decadent fragrance hit my nose, mixed with a hint of herbal flavor.

At that time, at the innermost part of the room, Aunt Liu struggled with all her strength, squirmed to her feet, raised her head high, held her body straight, and said coldly: "Who told you to come to my yard and act so presumptuous! Get out!"

Seeing that her lower body was unable to move, Shen Wantang did not want to embarrass her. He just glanced at her coldly and found a place to sit down.

"When my mother joined the Shen family, she had a lot of dowry. The farmland, the shop, the silver, the jewelry, the horse, everything was registered in the book."

Shen Wantang spoke softly, and as she spoke, she spread out the list of the late lady's dowry and placed it on the table.

"There are only a few of these things left in the warehouse now." Then, Shen Wantang spread out the booklet he had sorted out last night on the table.

"Would you like to confess the truth, or would you like me to go to court and ask the prefect to judge for us?"

Shen Wantang raised his eyelids slightly and glanced at Aunt Liu coldly. That murderous look made Aunt Liu feel a chill on her back and her body trembled uncontrollably.

"Your mother's dowry, once it entered the Shen family, it belongs to the Shen family. Let me tell you, the master has been fighting on the battlefield these years, so the family has no shortage of money. Your mother's money was used to fill the holes in the family!"

Aunt Liu said this with confidence, as if she could cover up her mistakes with just one sentence.

"So, you admit that you embezzled my mother's dowry?"

Shen Wantang raised the corners of his mouth slightly, his eyes passed over Aunt Liu's guilty eyes, and a cold curve appeared on his lips.

After these words were spoken, Aunt Liu, who was already feeling guilty, felt even more guilty.

"You are so sinister and cunning. That's not what I meant!"

"It doesn't matter whether it is true or not. The clerk has already recorded it. If you have any objections, please tell your father. If that doesn't work, I don't mind making a scene in the government office. I'm afraid that by then, your good daughter will also be implicated by a mother like you who is a thief."

Shen Wantang adjusted his sleeves casually, raised his eyebrows and spoke.

"Father went to war, and the monthly money was sent back as usual. It was more than enough to maintain the operation of the entire Shen Mansion. These money were also recorded in the Ministry of Revenue. Liu, do you also want to go to the Ministry of Revenue to appeal for justice?"

There was a moment of silence in the room, and Aunt Liu slowly lowered her head.

There were so many account books, and this girl finished reading them all in one night!

I had thought of sending someone to the military camp to look for General Shen today, but I didn't expect...

"I won't bother with the money you embezzled, but I will take back the shop, farm and land."

Shen Wantang said calmly.

Aunt Liu raised her head for a moment, a sinister smile appearing on the corner of her mouth.

"I didn't take anything from you, how can I return it to you?"

Shen Wantang had expected her to do this, and was too lazy to beat around the bush with her, so he just stood up.

"See, you won't tell the truth anymore."

Then she raised her hand slightly, and several old women waiting on the side came forward and bowed respectfully to Shen Wantang.

Then he came to Aunt Liu's bed and said, "I'm sorry, Aunt."

As soon as she finished speaking, Aunt Liu was carried onto a stretcher and placed mercilessly in the yard.

The door was tightly closed, so the old ladies could conduct a thorough search, checking every corner and box.

"You! Shen Wantang! The Shen family was convicted because of you, but not only did you refuse to admit your fault, you even came to my mother's yard to act wildly!"
