It's hard for my elder sister. I rely on the mountains to farm and pay off my debts.

"Sister Wang, don't worry about the steward for now. Now that you have these IOUs, you have a good reason to raid that bakery."

"What we need to do most right now is to deal with the current situation, appease the family, eliminate misunderstandings and restore the family's reputation."

After hearing this, Wang Wanzhi nodded repeatedly.

She first walked up to the Tong family and said apologetically, "This servant of ours is bullying others by taking advantage of his power. I will definitely punish him severely when I return!"

"Father-in-law, I'm sorry for scaring you today. I'll ask a doctor to treat your injuries later, and I'll also compensate you for the damaged items in your home."

Old Man Tong said quickly, "I dare not, I dare not. It would be great if Miss could make the decision for us and confirm that we have paid off the debt."

Wang Wanzhi said, "Don't worry, old man. Not only have you paid off the debt, but they're also going to return the extra two taels of silver you collected!"

After saying that, she waved to the maid Cui Liu to hand the silver to the other party.

Upon hearing this, Cui Liu hurriedly picked out the largest silver coin from her purse and put it into Old Man Tong's hand.

A large silver ingot was stuffed into Old Man Tong's hand, and it looked like it weighed more than two taels.

He said awkwardly, "Miss, we borrow money and we should pay interest. What you gave us is too much!"

Wang Wanzhi said solemnly, "Father, these evil servants have caused a lot of trouble to our family today. This little bit of silver is our small apology.

"Please don't refuse, old man."

There was determination and sincerity in Wang Wanzhi's eyes.

Old Man Tong felt her kindness and was deeply moved. If the eldest lady hadn't appeared today, their family would have been completely destroyed!

He held the silver ingot tightly with trembling hands, tears welling up in his eyes.

"Miss, you are such a good person!" After saying this, he was about to kneel down in front of her.

Wang Wanzhi hurriedly moved away and asked someone to help her up. "Old man, I'm a junior. You're embarrassing me. Please get up quickly!"

Afterwards, Ivana Wong comforted the Tong family members with a few more words.

Then he turned to look at the servant who was tied up and thrown on the ground, and said with a cold gaze: "Come here, take them all back!"

When the servants saw that Wang Wanzhi had no intention of letting them go, their faces changed drastically and they all begged for mercy.

Wang Wanzhi remained unmoved and led the people straight out of the Tong family's yard.

The neighbors who were standing outside the yard, craning their necks to watch the excitement, couldn't help but applaud when they saw the group of people who were so arrogant just now being taken away like dogs that had lost their homes.

Someone said, "I knew that Master Wang was a kind and charitable person. How could he allow his men to act like bandits?"

Another person echoed, "That's right, these evil slaves must have deceived their masters and are now doing evil things outside by relying on their masters' power. The Tong family is truly lucky to have met the young lady of the master's family today."

"Yes, yes, these slaves are so abominable. They rely on their master's power to act tyrannically outside. They should all be sold to the mines to do hard labor!"

Just like that, Ivana Wong led the group to the pastry shop amid the cheers of the crowd.

At this time, the boy in the pastry shop was dozing off out of boredom.

Suddenly, he saw a group of people holding wooden sticks and rushing into the store aggressively. He was so scared that he trembled all over and woke up instantly.

He stammered, "Who are you? This is the Wang family's shop. How dare you rush in like this?"

Wang Dashun dug his ears, looked at the young man who was threatening them with disdain, and sneered, "Who are you threatening? Open your dog eyes and see!"

The young man took a closer look and realized that the clothes worn by the guards were actually those of the servants of the family.

He panicked, but forced himself to remain calm and said, "Young man, if there's anything you want to discuss, we can discuss it. Our shop is managed by the Second Madam."

What he meant was that this shop was not owned by any member of the Wang family, so if you want to cause trouble you should consider your target carefully.

But just as he finished speaking, a clear female voice came from outside the door, "I asked them to come!"

As soon as the voice fell, the boy saw a beautiful and dignified young lady walking towards him, supported by her maid Cui Liu.

The young man may not know Ivana Wong, but he knows Cui Liu who is beside the young lady!

Seeing Cui Liu accompanying this person, the waiter was stunned for a moment, then reacted and bowed and said:

"I was blind and didn't know you were here. I hope you will forgive me."

Wang Wanzhi ignored him and directly ordered the guards, "First, take the people outside to the backyard."

I saw six or seven strong men dragging the shopkeeper's servant to the backyard like a dead dog.

When the young man saw this scene, he felt his legs go weak and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

After settling those lunatics, Wang Wanzhi turned her gaze to the waiter, "Go and bring me the account book of the pastry shop!"

The clerk looked embarrassed and said, "Miss, this account book is usually kept by the shopkeeper. I really can't..."

"My lady, this cunning servant is dishonest. Even after you personally questioned him, he still tried to cover up the truth. I think such a cunning servant cannot be used anymore. We should just sell him to the border."

Wang Dashun threatened with great tact.

Upon hearing this, the clerk immediately fell to his knees and pleaded mournfully, "The shopkeeper's account books are always locked. I... I don't have the key, so I really can't get them!"

Time was pressing, so Wang Wanzhi didn't bother to argue with the dishonest clerk. She said in a deep voice, "Whether you take it or not is my business. You just need to tell me where the account book is."

At this moment, the young man's mind was filled with the thought that he was going to be sold to the border. He no longer dared to deliberately refuse, and immediately got up and led his men to the inner room with weak hands and feet.

Not long after, Wang Dashun came out with a small wooden box. In front of Wang Wanzhi, he exerted force and pulled the small lock open.

Wang Dashun held the account book in front of Wang Wanzhi and said, "Miss, please take a look!"

Wang Wanzhi took the account book but did not look at it carefully.

She only spent half a cup of tea looking through the monthly surplus and then closed the account book in her hand.

There was a snap, and the boy's heart trembled.

"I didn't know that this shop would lose money every month. In a year, it would lose more than five hundred taels!"

"I just want to ask you how you do this business? Why do you lose so much money?" There was no anger in Wang Wanzhi's voice.

But the young man was already terrified when he heard it.

He subconsciously wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his sleeve and stammered:

"It's...it's because Wei Yue Fang released new cakes this year. Customers are curious about them. Even our regular customers have been attracted to them. That's why...that's why our business is so bad..."
