There are only two such heads in the entire Shangjing City, and unfortunately one of them belongs to Rong Tang’s fiancée Tang Tiantian.

"I……"

Rong Tang didn't know how to express his anger. He was thinking about beating someone up, but he didn't know who to attack.

Tang Tiantian was so frightened that she put her cap back on and sobbed as she explained, "Xie Ying found me and said the Xie family also had a letter of recommendation and was willing to recommend me to audit the accounts. I didn't know that this was how the audit was done. I thought I could come in the morning and leave in the evening. I, I wanted to help you..."

Rong Tang was furious, "If I hadn't come, if you and I hadn't been assigned together, you, a girl..."

Then it would be really ruined, and the consequences would be terrible just thinking about it.

Even more hateful is, "How did you, with your pig head, think that you could dress up as a man by wearing men's clothes and a hat? Any woman in the world could get away with it, but you, absolutely no way."

Tang Tiantian was really scolded and cried. Rong An pleaded for her, "Miss Tang wanted to help you."

"Help me? It's almost like killing me. If she suffers any loss here, my reputation will be damaged, but her whole life will be ruined."

Rong An also fell silent. Not only Tang Tiantian, but before he came in, he also felt that coming to check the accounts must be respected, served with good food and drink, have a bright and comfortable room, and be safe and secure.

He could never have guessed at that time that they would be locked up like pigs, not allowed to go out for eating, drinking, defecating or urinating. If Tang Tiantian had entered another room, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Rong Tang lost his temper again, "Tell me exactly what happened, including how Xie Ying tricked you."

Tang Tiantian spoke with sobs.

They left without waiting for the banquet. The journey was smooth and they returned to Sima's house safely.

When the elders in the family asked about what happened at the banquet, they only told the good things and did not mention the counting competition or card playing. Madam Sima and Madam Tang did not suspect anything.

Who knew that by evening, everything that happened in the Xie family had spread out: Liang Chongwen and Jin Xiangxiang were caught having an affair, Xie Ying broke off the engagement, four talented mathematicians competed on the spot, and after the competition, Miss Tang played cards with several young men in the pavilion. All of this spread like wildfire.

When the Sima family heard this, especially Mrs. Tang, they were furious and wanted to beat her because their daughter played cards with a man and caused trouble second only to Jin Xiangxiang's infidelity.

Finally, Feng repeatedly emphasized that one of the young masters was Prince Rong, and the other two were Young Masters Zheng and Xie. They were all highly intelligent men of noble character, and it would be an honor for many noble ladies in the capital to sit at the same table and compete with them. Moreover, Tiantian won, so she was spared the punishment.

Despite this, Madam Tang was still so disappointed that she practically poked a hole in her forehead. "What did mother teach you? I asked you to learn embroidery, but you couldn't. I asked you to learn music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, but your hands shook. You couldn't even make a simple pastry. When Prince Rong marries you in the future, is he going to just play cards with you and spend his life with you? You're a girl, you should act like a girl. Being virtuous is your duty after marriage. As for math, it's enough for you to be able to sort out the accounts of the shops in the mansion. Even if you can raise the eighth power, do you need it to live?"

In the end, she gave a death order, "Go, bring the embroidery frame, and personally embroider a purse for Prince Rong. The one you bought doesn't count."

After being scolded, Tang Tiantian went to embroider with a bitter face, and her fingers were poked with several holes. When she was lamenting, Xie Ying came to find her.

"She said that a girl doesn't have to be good at embroidery or playing the piano to be liked by her husband. What's most important is to be able to help her husband. Now the whole of Shangjing knows that there is a dispute between the Bo Mansion and the Liang family. If we can bring down the Liang family at this time, it would be like avenging you. I, I can't do anything else but settle accounts..."

"You have a pig brain. Whether you can bring down the Liang family or not is still a matter of debate. Once you are exposed, your life will be ruined, you idiot."

This was the third time Rong Tang had called her a pig, and Tang Tiantian almost covered her face and cried.

"Stop howling. If you attract people here, you're done."

Tang Tiantian stopped talking and said aggrievedly, "Don't scold me, I'm careful too. I, I recognize you, so I've been following you. When they separated the people, I stood with you. If there's any danger, I'll call you."

"You recognize me?"

Rong Tang expressed surprise.

"You, even though you're disguised, your facial features haven't changed. Your ears and chin are still very obvious..."

The more she spoke, the softer her voice became. How concerned was she that she remembered Rong Shizi's characteristics so clearly?

Rong Tang squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth, "Although he is smart, he is still a pig."

Rong An chuckled. In his eyes, this was just a young couple flirting.

"Prince Tang, it's already like this, ask if you can send Miss Tang away."

But when I knocked on the door and asked, the outsider was furious. "No, that person just pretended to be sick. Now the adults have given the order. Either you check the entire house or you die in there and then you can drag him out and bury him."

Rong Tang's heart sank, and he immediately changed his strategy. "Sir, we're one person short in the room now, and our speed has been greatly reduced. Is it feasible to request an additional one?"

There was a pause outside. "It's theoretically possible, but we don't have enough people right now, so we can't add more."

"Yes, sir."

Rong Tang took out a ruby ​​from the inside of his belt and stuffed it through the crack in the door. In just a moment, the ruby ​​was taken away.

"Sir, I'll write a name. Please take some time to send it to Master Zheng. He has many talented accountants under his command."

Someone outside whispered, "Hurry up."

Rong Tang quickly wrote a note and handed it out. After a while, someone outside the door said, "Xiao Wu, come and keep watch for me. I have something to do."

With the sound of footsteps, someone changed.

There seems to be no other way except waiting. Waiting is useless, so it is better to get busy and do something.

The three of them no longer hesitated and looked through the account books without saying anything.

When Zheng Changzhi received the note, his eyes turned and he asked Old Wen to take him to Tutor Xie's mansion.

Taifu Xie met him personally. After a few words, Zheng Changzhi handed him a note, "Taifu Xie, Miss Xie Ying from your mansion recommended Prince Rong's fiancée to the Ministry of Revenue for an audit. Now Prince Rong wants you to either bring his fiancée out or send Miss Xie in to accompany Miss Tang."

Taifu Xie frowned. "This girl is really making a fuss. She just said that she has a distant cousin who is an accountant and wants to try her luck in getting into the Ministry of Revenue, but she actually sent a woman there."

If Xie Ying said there was no ill intention in this action, Master Xie wouldn't believe even a single punctuation mark. Girls' fights have always been this simple. If you want to eliminate a threat, the best way is to destroy her reputation.

The daughter raised by the Xie family certainly couldn't be a useless softie. Grand Tutor Xie didn't even care whether Xie Ying was kind or not. The world was a world of cannibalism, and kind people didn't necessarily survive. But even if the Xie family's daughter was vicious, her reputation couldn't be ruined.

If she could really kill Tang Tiantian silently, Taifu Xie would still praise her for her cleverness. But now Rong Tang knows, Zheng Changzhi knows, and if something happens to Tang Tiantian, Xie Ying will never be able to clear herself of the blame.

Seeing his silence, Zheng Changzhi smiled faintly and said, "The Xie family has already broken off their engagement with the Liang family. Regardless of what the world knows about the inner workings, Grand Tutor Xie knows that he has already made enemies with the Liang family, and indirectly with Prince Rui. If we don't seize this opportunity to overthrow the Liang family and suppress Prince Rui's chances of ascending to the throne, once this matter is resolved, as long as the Liang family still has a breath left, they will definitely fight the Xie family to the death. Grand Tutor Xie, do you think now is a good time to add another enemy?"

Master Xie's eyes narrowed slightly, "You want to protect Rong Tang?"

Zheng Changzhi simply said: "Yes, I want to protect him."
