After rebirth, I married the emperor's uncle and overthrew my ex-husband's kingdom

"What do you mean by frame-up?!" Lord Xue's heart skipped a beat. He strode forward and said solemnly, "Prince Xian, Prince Jiang, this is the evidence found in the Glazed Pavilion!"

"If it's evidence, how come it was found from his sleeves?"

Jiang Tingxiao curled his lips, his face showing undisguised sarcasm, "Such an obvious frame-up, do you really think that everyone present is blind?"

The officer leader whose wrist was clamped by Lu Huaizhen tried to make himself look less panicked, "Prince Jiang, don't talk nonsense, this thing clearly belongs to Liuli Pavilion, I just searched it and it accidentally fell into my sleeve!"

"Ah!"

The arc of Jiang Tingxiao's lips became more sarcastic, "Can anything fall into your cuffs?"

He hooked his finger on the narrow cuffs and asked, "Do you think we are fools, or are you the fool?"

Lord Xue's face turned pale and he glared at the man with a sinister look.

Idiot, you can't even do such a small thing!

He remained calm and said, "Prince Xian, Prince Jiang, even if there is no glass mine, all the glass in this Glass Pavilion is evidence!"

"Although colored glaze is not uncommon, it is not something that is hard to find in the world." Jiang Tingxiao bent down and picked up a piece of colored glaze. "Master Xue, let's not talk about where this colored glaze came from. You smashed other people's shops without any evidence. Are you going to pay for these losses, or is the prince going to pay for them?"

He glanced around and clicked his tongue twice, "This glass is not priceless, but each piece costs more than a thousand taels of silver. Master Xue is a wealthy man, so this little bit of silver is probably nothing to him."

"What do you mean?"

Lord Xue's pupils shrank and his breathing became heavier.

Each piece of this colored glass costs more than a thousand taels. If he really had to pay for it, he would probably have to sell all his property to make up for it.

However, no matter how rich Mr. Qiu was, he was just a businessman. Even if he smashed his shop, would Mr. Qiu dare to cause trouble for him? !

He still said firmly: "I am investigating the case under the order of the Crown Prince, so bumps and bruises are inevitable."

"Kill someone and pay with your life, owe a debt and pay it back." Jiang Tingxiao smiled gloatingly, "Didn't the prince tell Lord Xue who owns this shop?"

"Jiangnan Qiu family."

Before coming, Lord Xue ordered people to investigate, otherwise why would he order his men to deliberately smash and destroy things.

Knowing that Qiu Wanchun dared not speak out, he deliberately gave Qiu Wanchun a warning so that he would know the situation and pay tribute to these things.

"It's true that this shop belongs to Boss Qiu," Jiang Tingxiao walked up to him and whispered in his ear, "but the things in this shop belong to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion."

When Lord Xue heard this, his eyes suddenly widened.

He is not afraid of the man named Qiu, but he cannot afford to offend the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion!

"This colored glass is precious. How can the Zhenguo Mansion have so much colored glass?"

Lord Qiu's breathing was obviously unstable when he spoke, and there was a noticeable tremor in his voice.

"Whether it is true or not, Master Xue will know in a moment."

Jiang Tingxiao took two steps back, threw away the glass fragments in his hand, and said to the indignant manager beside him: "Clear up all the things in the store, and when your boss comes, ask her whether she wants to go to Xue Mansion to collect the money or go directly to the East Palace."

"Hey, okay."

The manager walked to the counter, picked up the abacus and account book beside him and started to do the math.

His fingers moved rapidly, and the crackling sound of the beads was like steel balls hitting Xue Daren's body, causing him so much pain that his heart was bleeding.

Everything here is very valuable. If he really has to pay for it, he will have to pay for all the property he has saved with great difficulty!

When the steward had settled all the accounts, Bai Youyou and Lu Chen dismounted in front of the door.

Originally, he was skeptical about Jiang Tingxiao's words, but now when he saw the person coming, Lord Xue's legs trembled and he almost collapsed to the ground.

"Bai Youyou, Lu Qi, you are here."

After Jiang Tingxiao finished speaking, he glanced at the pale-faced man standing beside him and said with a grin, "You have met the God of Wealth today. Look, all your shops have been bought out in one go."

Bai Youyou glanced around the shop that was smashed and in a mess. She didn't question Lord Xue, but looked at him with a smile, "It's rare that Lord Xue is here to show his support. Do you want me to send someone to deliver these things to your house?"

Lord Xue was sweating profusely at this moment. He forced himself to hold on and squeezed out a smile that was uglier than crying: "Miss Bai, Master Lu, this is all a misunderstanding."

Bai Youyou raised an eyebrow, "Misunderstanding? Lord Xue brought so many people into my shop, searching for evidence and smashing things, and now you're saying it's a misunderstanding?"

Lu Chen snorted coldly, "Master Xue, do you think the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion is easy to bully?"

Lord Xue hurriedly shook his head, "No, no, it was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who ordered me to investigate the case. I never thought that the shop was actually backed by the Zhenguo Mansion."

Bai Youyou curled up the corner of her mouth into a cold smile, "Then according to what Lord Xue said, this matter is the fault of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

Who is the prince? Lord Xue dared not say a word against him. When he heard this, he was so scared that he almost knelt down in front of her.

"Miss Bai, calm down. This matter was all caused by my own recklessness. It has nothing to do with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"It has nothing to do with the prince, so you did it alone?"

Bai Youyou showed no mercy at all. Lord Xue's lips kept trembling, and he could not open his mouth to say that it was his own doing.

His Xue family is not a wealthy family. In recent years, the family has been poorly managed and is unable to make ends meet.

If there were no one to show filial piety in private, it would be difficult to maintain even the superficial glory.

The steward standing by was holding the freshly calculated bill, and he felt very pleased when he saw Lord Xue, who had lost all his previous arrogance and looked like a drowned dog.

This bastard thought the shop belonged to his master so he dared to bully others at will. Now he has hit a wall and can no longer be arrogant!

"Young Master, this is Master Xue's bill."

Bai Youyou took it and took a look. "I'm sure Lord Xue will like the cabinets and other things in this shop. I'll send them to Lord Xue's residence later."

"Yes, yes, I'll add it right away."

The butler had only calculated the price of the colored glaze before, but now that Bai Youyou reminded him, he hurriedly added the price of the cabinet and display stand.

Just as he finished writing, Bai Youyou's voice came over again, "This shop will not be able to operate for half a month. You should calculate the accounts of the previous half month and add the profits of this half month."

Lu Huaizhen and Lu Chen pursed their lips to hold back their laughter, while Jiang Tingxiao smiled ostentatiously, "So, I told you that you met the God of Wealth today."

Bai Youyou bowed to Lord Xue, who was about to faint, and said, "I should thank Lord Xue for his support."

"Boss Bai," Master Xue said tremblingly, "I...my family really can't afford so much money."

Bai Youyou frowned in pretense of embarrassment, "Master Xue, what do you mean by this? As an official appointed by the imperial court, you are not going to shirk your responsibility, are you? If so, I will go to the palace to ask the emperor to judge for me!"
