Shen Liang felt something was wrong, especially when he heard from the housekeeper that Shen Yunyan often went in and out of the mansion, which made him feel even more suspicious.

"Then let your husband help you choose one."

Shen Liang rolled up his sleeves and walked inside. He opened the dressing box that was placed on the bronze mirror and saw that it was empty.

"Master, I took them all to fry, and they haven't been returned yet!"

Shen Liang stared at Shen Li in a deep voice: "Did you give it to Shen Yunyan?"

Shen Li knew she couldn't hide it, so she had to say carefully: "My son-in-law said he wanted to open a shop and needed capital, so I helped him with some."

"Master, don't worry about this for now. You're going to be late for the banquet!"

Shen Liang got angry when he was not in good condition, and time was indeed tight, so he could only go to the banquet first.

"Forget it. Don't give me money again without my permission!"

Shen Li agreed readily and breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the hole in the account was filled in advance, otherwise I don’t know how angry Shen Liang would be.

The next day, Shen Liang did not say a word to Shen Li, but sent people to the Marquis' Mansion and the Song family to ask his daughter to return home.

In his opinion, these two daughters are still immature after getting married and need more attention and education.

After Shen Li found out, she was terrified and brought some scented tea that she had brewed herself to the study, trying to sound out the issue.

"Master, do you want to see your two daughters?"

Shen Liang was in a good mood today, holding a book and taking a break: "Just keep an eye on some housekeeping methods, and don't let them think that if there is something wrong, the family will make up for it. I am a clean person who relies on salary to make a living, and I can't encourage the trend of extravagance and comparison!"

Shen Li felt relieved after hearing this and began to look forward to meeting Shen Yunyan.

Shen Yiran sent away the servant at home and sighed.

You can escape the first day but not the fifteenth.

Shen Yiran was not depressed and immediately thought of a solution.

Shen Liang may not know that Shen Yunyan took the money and Song Qizhao lost money. He must not go to the banquet tomorrow without preparation.

Shen Yiran immediately called Bai Zhi over: "Help me do something."

Bai Zhi nodded after hearing this: "Don't worry, Miss, I will definitely convince that widow!"

Shen Yiran pointed out: "No matter how much the widow says she loves Song Qizhao and how inseparable they are, you don't have to believe her lies. She is only after money. Just keep saying that."

After teaching Bai Zhi some words, Bai Zhi left the house.

Although Rong Qingqing kept a close eye on Shen Yiran, she didn't go to the extent of sending someone to keep an eye on Bai Zhi.

Bai Zhi came to the place where she ran into Song Qizhao and the widow last time and went forward to knock on the door.

The pretty widow opened the door and glanced at Bai Zhi: "Young lady, did you go to the wrong door?"

Bai Zhi smiled faintly: "You are not in the wrong place. I came to find you just because of the Shen family."

When the pretty widow heard the name Shen family, she thought it was Shen Yunyan, but she remembered that Shen Yunyan's maid was not the person in front of her, so she blocked the door cautiously and said, "What Shen family or Zhou family? I'm afraid you found the wrong person, young lady?"

"Don't you know Song Qizhao?"

Bai Zhi sneered: "Since you know her, let me in. I am here to talk to you on behalf of the eldest lady! Do you know what the eldest lady of the Shen family is now?"

"I heard it was the Marquis's wife..."

"It's good to know!"

Bai Zhi reached out, pushed the door open, and walked straight in.

The pretty widow bit her lip and had to follow.

"My dear young lady, your wife and I have never even met each other. Besides, Song Qizhao is her brother-in-law. How can a sister-in-law lock up her brother-in-law's family?"

Bai Zhi listened and said with a straight face: "What nonsense are you talking about! Let me tell you, the Grand Tutor has already known about your scandal. Tomorrow, Song Qi will be summoned back to the mansion. I will see if the Master does not break his legs!"

The pretty widow was a little scared when she heard this, but she stiffened her neck and said, "You, are talking nonsense! You don't have any evidence, so why are you breaking his legs?"

Bai Zhi sneered: "Not only will we break his legs, we will also take back all the money he cheated us out of!"

"This house, one thousand taels of silver, plus the clothes and jewelry I gave you, and the shop you secretly opened, have all been investigated by the master. Do you think you can still stay?"

The pretty widow thought that all her private property was very secretive, but she didn't expect that all of it would be found out. She said with all her might, "So what do you want to do today?"

Bai Zhi sneered, "You won't believe anything I say now. You must still be hoping to control Song Qizhao. Then wait and see how Song Qizhao performs."

Having said that, Bai Zhi got up and left.

The pretty widow was in a state of confusion and was about to go out to find Song Qizhao.

Song Qizhao also heard that Shen Liang wanted them to return home, so he paid close attention to find out what it was all about.

It happened that Shen Li sent someone to inform Shen Yunyan alone, and Song Qizhao eavesdropped outside the door.

"What did you say? Father knows everything?"

The maid Wan'er nodded: "Yes, Second Miss, the master saw that Madam had sold all her dowry, so he asked you all to go back the next day! I can't stay for long, Second Miss, I'm going back first!"

With these words, Wan'er left with the basket of vegetables.

Song Qizhao hid in the side room, stamping his feet and cursing.

As soon as Shen Yunyan walked out of the room, Song Qizhao immediately stepped forward to please her.

"Where are you going, ma'am?"

Shen Yunyan was feeling depressed, and when she saw Song Qi coming, she immediately vented her anger on him.

"Do you know that my father knows that my mother has embezzled the family's money? He wants to hold us accountable!"

Song Qizhao broke out in a cold sweat. If Shen Yunyan didn't support him, where would he, an ordinary citizen, find so much money to pay off the debt?

"Madam, what should we do? It's all because of the bad hiring of people. Those shopkeepers ruined our business. We lost all our money!"

Shen Yunyan sneered: "The store is losing money. If you can pass the imperial examination, my father will definitely look at you differently. Now I don't even have the face to go home!"

When Shen Yunyan thought about meeting Shen Yiran tomorrow, she became even more embarrassed and angry, and glared at Song Qizhao fiercely.

Song Qizhao immediately put on a humble smile and said, "Didn't I tell you? I had a stomachache, which caused me not to perform well. Wait three years and see if I can make it to the top of the list!"

"Three years!"

Shen Yunyan didn't dare to think about how the family had been spending money in the past three years!

I'm afraid she's still counting on her mother for help!

Why did Shen Yiran take advantage in the previous life? This time, even though the person she married was swapped, why is Shen Yiran still taking advantage?

This is not fair!

Shen Yunyan cursed the heavens in her heart, while Song Qizhao comforted her.

She forced her to sit down and rest, and then massaged her back and legs. Her mother-in-law, Song Zhou, asked her several times attentively, brought her whatever she wanted to eat, served her tea and water, and waited on Shen Yunyan.

Shen Yunyan finally calmed down.

"Aren't you just afraid that your father will blame you when you return home tomorrow?"

Song Qizhao immediately smiled and said, "I'm not afraid, but I'm afraid that if I can't explain it clearly, my father-in-law won't listen to our explanation. If we make him unhappy after going home, you'll be embarrassed, right?"

These words pierced Shen Yunyan's heart.

"That's enough! Daddy has loved me since I was a child. Even if he wants to punish me, he can just blame me a few words. I will protect you."

Song Qizhao and Song Zhou looked at each other and felt relieved.

The pretty widow found a familiar servant to ask, but Song Qizhao did not come out.

"The master has gone to bed, you'd better leave quickly! The master also said that you should not come to his house in the future, otherwise it will be troublesome if you are discovered!"
