The cannon fodder in the book is laughing, and the scum is slapped in the face

Did he hear wrongly?

"What did you say?" Marquis Anyang asked in disbelief.

Lin replied the same way: "In order to avoid misunderstandings and for the sake of the Marquis's reputation, the Marquis's Mansion will be responsible for all expenses and those of my cousins ​​from now on."

"I was wrong before, but today I finally understand. Using my dowry to subsidize the Marquis' Mansion, isn't this embarrassing for the Marquis' Mansion?"

"I will never make such a mistake again. Otherwise, how can I hold my head up in front of my colleagues?"

When Qiao Jinlan heard what Lin said, she almost applauded her mother-in-law.

Her mother-in-law was smarter than she thought. It seemed that her mother-in-law had also seen something.

Marquis Anyang was so angry that he gritted his teeth. Lin, you've gone too far!

It was not easy for Anyang Hou to break up with Lin Shi now, so he turned his gaze to Qiao Jinlan: "Qiao Shi, even if what Shuangrui said was wrong, it is not a crime punishable by death."

"If he is beaten with thirty sticks, he will be half dead if he doesn't die. Who told you to treat your servants so harshly?"

"Is this what your mother taught you these days?"

Marquis Anyang's rebuke made Lin's heart feel as if it was dug out alive, and it was so painful that it bled.

She had been married into the Marquis's Mansion for more than ten years, and had always been filial to her parents-in-law, managing the Mansion, and raising her children... She had done everything with all her heart.

In the end, her true love was misplaced and she was a complete joke.

At this point, he still had to find such a reason to blame her to vent his anger on Su Yunxia.

it is good!

What a cold-hearted Marquis Anyang is!

Lin was so angry that she was about to speak when she heard Qiao Jinlan say with a smile, "Father, I learned everything from mother."

"Mother has been in charge of the Marquis' Mansion for more than ten years. She has always been fair in her dealings. What she hates most is that someone uses the name of the Marquis' Mansion to do evil things outside. Mother is afraid of causing trouble for the Marquis' Mansion and bringing discredit to the Marquis."

"This Shuangrui, just because he is the prince's personal servant, is very powerful outside."

Anyang Hou frowned and asked, "What did he do outside?"

Qiao Jiaojiao said something seemingly unintentionally: "If the Marquis's wife is very strict in managing the household, how could Shuangrui have been bullying people outside in the name of the Marquis's mansion for so many years without her noticing?"

"Little Qiao, don't talk nonsense." Su Yunxia scolded Qiao Jiaojiao, but she was secretly very happy in her heart. Her daughter-in-law was indeed smart and clever.

The master had indeed been right in predicting my fate.

The daughter-in-law here is here to bring good luck to her son!

"Cousin, if you don't know, stop talking nonsense here. Otherwise, if it gets out, not only will your family be in trouble, but I'm afraid the Marquis' Mansion will also be implicated." Qiao Jinlan sneered.

Su Yunxia laughed dryly: "Princess, your words are serious, why do you involve so much?"

"I am a daughter-in-law who speaks my mind. I say whatever comes to my mind. I definitely don't mean to accuse Madam Hou of not managing the household properly."

"You didn't manage your servants well, and you blame others for what they say?" Marquis Anyang glared at Lin.

Lin just stared at Marquis Anyang, wishing she could slap him twice.

Is he so biased because he's worried that she can't see that he doesn't care about her at all?

For the sake of his relatives, she became an outsider.

All the hard work over the years to maintain the Marquisate, but none of the credit can outweigh the relationship between them, right?

Lin felt a sense of sadness in her heart, and it was so cold that chills were coming out of her bones.

"Father, are you dissatisfied with His Majesty?" Qiao Jinlan asked puzzledly, "Do you want His Majesty to issue an edict of apology?"

"How dare you!" Marquis Anyang yelled in fear, gritting his teeth in hatred, "Go ahead and die if you want to, don't bring trouble to the Marquis Anyang's Mansion!"

"Yes, Qiao, what are you talking about?" Old Madam Lu was also frightened, "Can you just say anything about His Majesty's affairs?"

"Isn't it the same principle?" Qiao Jinlan said with a smile, "The mansion is so big, even if mother manages it well, there's no way she can get rid of any pests."

"Just like in the imperial court, no matter how diligent Your Majesty is, there is no guarantee that there won't be a single corrupt official."

"Your Majesty can't do something, but you are harshly criticizing my mother and asking her to do better than Your Majesty. Aren't you asking too much?"

Qiao Jiaojiao was so angry at Qiao Jinlan's unreasonable words that she couldn't help but retort: ​​"How can the Marquis compare with His Majesty? One is in the court, and the other is in the harem."

"Oh, then compare it with the Empress... or compare it with the backyards of other noble families." Qiao Jinlan said casually.

"Then please tell me, cousin, which family has not had a problematic servant?"

Qiao Jiaojiao kept her mouth tightly shut.

It's not that she doesn't want to say it, but that she can't say it.

Because no family has never had any problems.

In any household, no matter how well it is managed, it is normal for servants to steal some money and do things in the name of their master.

It's just the difference between big and small things.

"What? You can't say it? Since other mistresses can't do it, why do you demand that mother do it?" Qiao Jinlan asked with a sneer.

"Father, do you dare to demand that His Majesty be free of corrupt officials?"

Marquis Anyang was so angry that veins popped out on his forehead, but he had nothing to refute.

Lin's eyes were filled with warmth. This child... is so thoughtful.

The corners of Lu Yunxu's lips curled up, his eyes sparkling with admiration.

"I dealt with Shuangrui. On the one hand, he was disrespectful to the prince, but more importantly, he bullied others outside and stole the property of the Marquis' Mansion for his own benefit." Qiao Jinlan's words made Shuangrui, who was beaten half to death, cry out for injustice.

“Princess, I don’t have it, absolutely not.” Shuangrui’s voice was weak, but his will to survive was very strong.

"My Lord, I have always been following you. You know who I am."

"I am loyal to the prince..."

"You are so loyal that you let others put you above the prince. Can't he even be happy himself?" Qiao Jinlan interrupted Shuangrui with a cold scold.

"As for whether you embezzled money..." Qiao Jinlan said, "Your brother's marriage and your sister's wedding were both grand and spectacular."

"Not to mention that your family bought a large house and hired maids and servants to serve you."

"How much is your monthly allowance from the prince?"

"What's more, your family bought a shop and rented it out... Let's calculate the difference between this money and your monthly salary."

Qiao Jinlan said, looking at Lu Yunxu: "Sir, this is your personal servant. Do you remember the approximate amount of the things you gave him as rewards?"

"Of course I remember." Lu Yunxu nodded.

"Well, then let's check the accounts. See how your family went from being starving and having to sell you to the Marquis' Mansion to survive to being so wealthy now." Qiao Jinlan's words made Shuangrui's already pale face even more bloodless.

He can't help but check.
