Chapter 15
The accounts were laid out, and the sons of the Tan family who were responsible for calculating the accounts came over to take a look.
One of the leaders couldn't help but exclaimed.
"These accounts are really detailed. If the accounts are made like this, there will be no mistakes."
If you want to pretend to be public for personal gain, you can not keep private accounts to confuse the public.
But this private account was done, and it was done in such detail.
Several of the disciples who check the accounts have always believed that there is no problem if there is no need for accounting.
By now, several clan elders knew what was going on, and they all nodded secretly.
Mrs. Zhao also didn't expect that Xiang Yi could be so clean, clearly separate public and private accounts, and do it beautifully. She had also been a clan wife, but she was not able to do what Xiang Yi did at that time.
Tan Rong glanced at Xiang Yi quickly, and couldn't help but think about what happened in the workshop today.
Tan Jian's face drooped, and he was secretly annoyed as to why he had not discovered earlier that his sister-in-law was not doing so well. Fortunately, his sister-in-law had taken such good care of him in the three years since he got married.
Compared with the various thoughts in their minds, Yang Zhen was much more efficient.
She snorted coldly and walked to Qiu's face in two steps.
"Sister-in-law has made the accounts so clear, and you still want to check her, so I ask you, can you do this?"
He turned to Mrs. Fusan and asked, "Or can you?!"
Although she is not senior, However, due to his high birth and status, and his imposing aura, no one in the hall dared to say a word.
Tan Jian was so impressed that he fell to the ground.
Just in the blink of an eye, he saw the wife he admired so much turned to look at his eldest brother, raised an eyebrow and asked.
"Or is it okay for eldest brother?"
She was complaining about her eldest sister-in-law.
As soon as the words came out, Tan Jian held his breath.
He looked at his elder brother carefully.
However, the eldest brother did not have a trace of anger. Instead, his eyes fell lightly on the sister-in-law, and then slowly withdrew his gaze in the face of the sister-in-law's emotionless expression.
"Neither can I." He admitted frankly.
Tan Jian blinked.
When things developed to such an extent, everyone no longer looked at Xiang Yi, but instead stared at Mrs. Qiu and Mrs. Fusan.
Everyone looked at them in the wrong way.
To put it lightly, they are making trouble out of nothing. To put it seriously, this is simply contempt for the clan family and framed clan wife!
Mrs. Fusan thought about how she had made a lot of money from the Tan family over the years, and her family members all fawned over her. Once this incident came out, she would not be able to protect herself even if she had any other ways to make money.
Mrs. Qiu's status was far inferior to Mrs. Fu's. Her husband, Tan Youliang, had repeatedly warned her not to cause trouble over nothing...
She was the most impatient and blurted out.
"Maybe, she transferred all the money to her parents' family!"
As soon as she said this, Xiang Yi couldn't help but laugh.
What else would Qiu have to say?
At this moment, someone spoke loudly.
"That's enough."
The two words were so heavy that the moment they fell, Qiu's words that were still about to make a fuss were blocked in her mouth.
She saw the cold eyes of Zongzi who had been silent for a long time.
The huge pressure belonging to the leader of the clan fell over.
Mrs. Qiu and Mrs. Fusan couldn't help but stiffen.
Not only were they impressed by Zongzi's power, but they were also surprised.
From the beginning to the end of this matter, the eldest son had no intention of shielding the Xiang family. He even tried to figure things out. This was the reason why they dared to cause such a scene.
After all, Xiang married the eldest son forcefully with an old marriage contract. The eldest son didn't like her and had no need to support her.
But now, Zongzi spoke for her...
Both of them were a little dumbfounded, and cold sweat broke out in waves.
How could Tan Ting not guess what they were thinking when they behaved like this?
But when he couldn't help but look at the person in the distance, he happened to catch her looking over.
His attitude seemed to surprise her. Her eyes fell slightly on him, and then she quickly looked away the moment she caught his gaze.
Tan Ting was startled. He knew that not only those people who must have good intentions thought that he would not protect her, but also herself...
Thinking of this, he took a deep breath and spoke in a deep voice.
"Today's matter, whether it's Madam or anyone else, the accounts are clear and clean for the sake of checking. There is no need to check again."
His eyes swept across the clan members gathered in the hall and courtyard, and finally fell on Qiu's family. And Mrs. Fusan.
"Who has any objections?"
Mrs. Qiu and Mrs. Fusan's tongues went dry at these words, and they couldn't say anything they wanted to say.
There was silence inside and outside the hall, and no one dared to question it again.
At this time, the new craftsmen introduced by Xiang Yi came in from outside.
They all said that they had never met the eldest girl alone, let alone said anything frivolous, and asked the girl to come out and identify her so that the truth could be revealed.
Speaking of which, this is where the trigger for this incident lies.
When Tan Rong heard that she was asked to recognize someone, she couldn't help but tremble again. Mrs. Zhao couldn't help but feel heartbroken when she saw that her daughter was afraid of being like this.
But if Tan Rong doesn't recognize the person, this matter cannot be justified.
Yang Zhen pushed Tan Jian.
"If you are afraid, little sister, just ask your second brother to accompany you."
Tan Jian also hoped to find out everything quickly and stop misunderstanding his sister-in-law, so he stood up quickly.
"That's right, little sister, don't be afraid, I will accompany you."
Having said that, Tan Rongruo still didn't go, which would inevitably make the lady of the Zong family timid in times of trouble. She could only calm down and follow Tan Jian. .
When Tan Ting saw it, he thought about it for a moment and whispered a few instructions to Zhengji.
Mrs. Fusan could no longer hold herself steady and secretly broke into a cold sweat.
In less than half a quarter of an hour, Tan Rong and Tan Jian came back.
Tan Rong spoke up first this time, "Mother, brother, there is no one among the new craftsmen who scares me."
"Really?" Mrs. Zhao looked relaxed.
Tan Rong glanced at Xiang Yi quickly and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that her sister-in-law's expression was calm and she didn't mean to anger her.
"It's just that in this way, I don't know who is scaring the little girl." Tan Jian frowned.
Who is pretending to be a new craftsman and deliberately trying to scare Miss Zong?
The questions gathered here, the cold sweat on Mrs. Fusan's face couldn't stop flowing, and she didn't dare to raise her hand to wipe it away.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Zhengji walked in quickly.
"Uncle, we've caught someone."
We've caught someone?
Everyone's expressions became serious, and only one person was pressed to the hall door.
As soon as he appeared, Tan Rong suddenly said, "It's him!"
When this man saw that something was wrong and was about to run away, he was caught and frightened. At this time, he was identified by Tan Rong on the spot, and he knelt down.
"This is not my idea. It was the third master of the Fu family who asked me to do it. He asked me to do it!"
The third master of the Fu family is Fu Yu, the third cousin of the rich third wife.
There is no need to go on about this matter, everyone present understood it -
Mrs. Fusan was not willing to be left aside by the workshop she had contracted for many years, so she did these things and framed the new craftsmen and the clan's wife Xiang Yi.
Everyone looked at Mrs. Fu San, their gazes shooting towards her like arrows.
In the eyes of everyone, Mrs. Fusan's feet gave way and she fell to the ground in a panic.
She admitted it, but Mrs. Qiu still refused to admit it, and hurriedly evaded, "This, these things were all instigated by Mrs. Fusan. I didn't know about it!"
She hurriedly wanted to break away, but everyone Qiao Yun couldn't help but said nothing.
"Mrs. Qiu, if you don't know, how did Chu Xinggu's two jade pendants end up in my room?"
Mrs. Qiu didn't dare to mention Chu Xinggu's matter, for fear of really pursuing it.
Unexpectedly, Qiao Yun actually mentioned it herself.
She was excited and noticed Xiang Yi's gaze.
His eyes were so clear that he seemed to be able to see through people at a glance.
Mrs. Qiu's whole body felt cold. When she saw the wife of the clan whom they had been unable to seduce no matter what, she gave a faint order.
Although her voice was weak, it sounded like thunder in Qiu's ears.
"Bring all the witnesses here."
She said, and the maid Chunsun immediately brought three people up. One is the lame Mrs. Liu who sweeps the main courtyard, and the other is a junior student in the clan middle school.
There was another person. When Qiu saw it, goosebumps came out all over his body.
That was Xiao Feng'er, the little maid in the main courtyard.
But Chun Bamboo was extremely sharp-tongued and made everything clear in just two sentences.
"Those two jade pendants were picked up by Mrs. Qiu on the way. She thought no one had seen them, but they were seen by the young master of the clan who was leaving school at that time. Mrs. Liu actually saw the little bee'er and went to sister Qiao Yun. There
were things hidden in the room. As for the servant himself, he followed Mrs. Qiu for a few days and saw with his own eyes that Mrs. Qiu gave Little Bee a purse full of coins. She saw everything clearly, and Xiang had already found out everything. She thought that Xiang had nothing to rely on, but she was the wife of a clan who had been in charge of the family for three years, so how could she be weak and helpless at the moment
?
Feng'er trembled and confessed. Qiu was
completely choked. Even if she wanted to defend herself, no words of defense could come out of her mouth.
At this time, like Mrs. Fu San, her feet were too weak to stand. .
At that moment, some clan elders couldn't bear it anymore and snorted coldly,
"Two ignorant women actually did such dirty things and framed the clan wife! "
To put it bluntly, what they did was not complicated, but they relied on the fact that the clan wife's natal family was weak and had no support in the Tan family.
They tried to take this opportunity to drag the clan wife into the water to satisfy their selfish desires. If It wasn't because the clan wife was so innocent that she couldn't escape this time.
The eyes of the tribesmen all changed. The evil look that originally fell on Xiang Yi disappeared, and they looked
at Qiu and Fu San in surprise. The wife's eyes turned into sharp arrows.
Tan Ting closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, there was only a cold light in his eyes. After being silent, he spoke one word at a
time.
Ancestral hall. "
Open the ancestral hall!
Everyone
in the clan is shocked. Except for offering sacrifices during festivals and festivals, the clan rarely opens the ancestral hall. Unless something big happens, or the clan has something important to say, it will open the ancestral hall and invite all the clan members to be present.
Now, the eldest son is going to open the ancestral hall. At the ancestral hall,
everyone came to their senses - it was not a trivial matter to humiliate the clan's wife.
Mrs. Qiu also completely understood. She was shaking like chaff, while Mrs. Fusan simply rolled her eyes and fainted. In the past
,
word spread that the clan was going to open the ancestral hall.
Everyone in the courtyard of Qiuzhaoyuan dispersed, and all the clan elders also left for the time being, preparing to go back to the ancestral hall
. Suddenly, he wanted to ask Tan Ting, "Would opening an ancestral hall be too intrusive?" However, remembering that he had reprimanded Xiang Yi for his daughter's affairs, he sighed and swallowed his words
. , glanced at the person who was still standing alone.
She was not angry or aggrieved, but asked Tan Rong if she was frightened, and said softly,
"In a few days, outside the city . There is a Peace Dojo in Anluo Temple, where you can go and ask for a Peace Talisman.
Tan Rong leaned in Zhao's arms and whispered, "Thank you, sister-in-law. " "
She responded with a gentle smile.
Tan Ting watched from the side, and the strange feeling came back to his heart.
Obviously, the scene that happened today was aimed at her, and she was the one who was wronged... . .
But she didn't show any other signs. She said goodbye to Mrs. Zhao, and bowed politely before leaving.
Tan Ting kept his eyes on her, and when he saw that she was about to leave, he subconsciously wanted to leave with her. .
However, when she passed by him, she took two steps back and distanced herself from him.
She also bowed briefly to him, and then flirted with him alone without even taking a breath or looking at him. The curtain left.
Tan Ting's footsteps froze in place.
