Reborn and married in a swapped marriage, my aloof husband is too ruthless.

Chapter 66 Setting Things Right, Love Remains Unwavering

"Master... he couldn't catch his breath... and he's gone!" the servant reported with a mournful face.

A cold glint flashed in Su Jinxin's eyes, but she remained calm and said, "I understand." She turned to look at the trembling housekeeper and accountant, Mr. Zhou, and a cold smile appeared on her lips: "It seems that even the heavens can't stand it anymore."

Su Jinxin returned to the accounting office with the crucial "Gengchen Year Accounts".

The atmosphere in the accounting office was so heavy it seemed as if water could freeze from it.

Everyone knows that today is the day for the showdown.

Su Jinxin slammed the ledger onto the table with a loud "bang," which startled Butler Qian so much that he almost spat out his dentures.

"Manager Qian, Accountant Zhou, do you two still remember the accounts from the Gengchen year?" Su Jinxin's tone was gentle, yet it was as if she were wrapped in ice shards, sending chills down one's spine.

Butler Qian's eyes darted around, but he tried to remain calm: "Madam, the accounts from the year Gengchen... are from a long time ago, and I... I can't remember them clearly."

Su Jinxin sneered: "Can't remember? Then let me help you recall. In the year of Gengchen, three thousand taels of timber were purchased, but five thousand taels were recorded in the accounts. You should remember where those two thousand taels of silver went, right?"

The housekeeper was speechless and his face turned ashen.

The accountant, Mr. Zhou, was so frightened that he fell to his knees with a thud, crying and begging for mercy: "Madam, spare my life! I was forced into this!" He tearfully confessed that Uncle Su had instructed him to falsify the accounts, and also revealed a lot of evidence of Uncle Su's embezzlement and bribery over the years.

Su Jinxin's face turned terribly gloomy after hearing this.

She immediately ordered that Steward Qian be expelled from the Su residence and never be employed again.

As for Accountant Zhou, considering that he confessed voluntarily and that his crime was relatively minor, he was demoted to observe his future conduct.

After dealing with the two, Su Jinxin slowly stood up, her gaze fixed on the door, her tone icy: "Next, it's time to go find Second Uncle for a 'catch-up'..." She paused, a ruthless glint in her eyes, "Some scores need to be settled properly." She strode towards the door, her figure disappearing into the night, leaving only a chilling killing intent in the air... Suddenly, Yan Cheng'an's voice came from behind her: "Xin'er, wait for me."

Su Jinxin brought Yan Chengan to her second uncle's courtyard. Before they even entered, they heard the sound of a cup being smashed, mixed with her second uncle's angry roar: "That little bitch Su Jinxin! How dare she! How dare she!"

Su Jinxin sneered and kicked open the door.

"Second Uncle, such anger is bad for your health." Her tone was light, yet it carried an undeniable air of authority.

When Uncle Su saw Su Jinxin, he pounced on her like a mad dog seeing a bone, ready to tear her apart: "You traitor! How dare you..." Before he could finish speaking, Yan Chengan kicked him to the ground.

"Watch your mouth." Yan Cheng'an glanced at him coldly, his eyes as if he were looking at an ant.

Ignoring her second uncle's groans on the ground, Su Jinxin walked straight to the head seat and sat down, slowly pouring herself a cup of tea: "Second Uncle, don't rush, let's talk slowly." Then, in front of the clansmen, Su Jinxin presented the evidence of her second uncle's embezzlement, bribery, and misappropriation of funds over the years.

The elders' faces changed as they looked at the irrefutable evidence in the accounts.

They never expected that the seemingly respectable Uncle Su would be so despicable!

"Second Brother Su, what else do you have to say?" The clan chief was so angry that his beard stood on end.

Uncle Su's face was deathly pale, his lips trembled, but he couldn't say anything.

Seeing this, Su Jinxin sneered: "Second Uncle, since you have nothing to say, then please leave the Su family. From now on, you are no longer a member of the Su family."

After Uncle Su was expelled from the family, everyone in the Su family breathed a sigh of relief.

Under Su Jinxin's management, the Su family's business flourished and quickly returned to its former prosperity.

The clansmen were all convinced of Su Jinxin's talent and courage, praising her as a "heroine among women" of the Su family.

Everything seemed to be back on track. Su Jinxin stood on the highest pavilion of the Su family mansion, overlooking the entire mansion, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

Yan Cheng'an walked to her side and gently embraced her: "Xin'er, you've worked so hard." Su Jinxin leaned against him, feeling his warm embrace, and suddenly said, "Cheng'an, I..."

Su Jinxin leaned against him, feeling his warm embrace, and suddenly asked, "Cheng'an, have I... neglected you lately?"

Yan Cheng'an was taken aback, then smiled gently: "Silly girl, I understand you're busy handling matters at home." He looked at the woman in front of him, his heart filled with pride.

She was no longer that weak and helpless little girl, but a capable and independent head of the Su family.

Su Jinxin snuggled against him, like a spoiled kitten: "I promise, it won't happen again."

Yan Cheng'an hugged her tighter: "I believe in you." He lowered his head and kissed her forehead, saying softly, "Xin'er, you're amazing."

A blush rose on Su Jinxin's face.

It feels so good to be praised, especially by someone you like.

The two embraced quietly, enjoying this moment of tranquility.

Suddenly, a timid voice broke the beautiful atmosphere: "Sister..."

Su Jinxin and Yan Chengan looked in the direction of the sound and saw Su Sanmei standing at the door, trembling.

Seeing the fate of Uncle Su and Steward Qian, she was terrified.

She knew that her sister probably knew all about the little tricks she had done in the past.

Su Jinxin looked at her, her eyes icy: "Third sister, what do you want?"

Su Sanmei knelt down with a thud, crying out, "Sister, I was wrong! I'll never do it again! Please forgive me!"

Su Jinxin looked down at her, her tone indifferent: "Let you go? You've hurt me so many times, do you think I'd let you go so easily?"

Su Sanmei trembled with fear and kept kowtowing, pleading, "Sister, I was wrong! I'll never do it again! Please give me another chance!"

Su Jinxin sneered, "Opportunity? I've given you many opportunities, but you haven't cherished them." She paused, her tone softening slightly, "This time, I can give you a chance too. From now on, if you behave yourself, I can let bygones be bygones. But if you dare to play any tricks again..." Su Jinxin didn't finish her sentence, but her eyes were full of warning.

Su Sanmei nodded vigorously, "I won't dare again! I'll never dare again!"

Su Jinxin waved her hand: "Go down."

Su Sanmei felt as if she had been granted a pardon and left in a panic.

Su Jinxin watched her departing figure with a deep gaze.

She turned to look at Yan Cheng'an, only to find him gazing at her with deep affection.

"What's wrong?" Su Jinxin asked, puzzled.

Yan Cheng'an smiled and pulled her into his arms. "Xin'er, we..." He paused, then leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Isn't it time for our wedding night?"

Su Jinxin blushed and glared at him coquettishly: "You're being indecent!" But her heart was as sweet as if she had eaten honey.

After going through so many ups and downs, they can finally be together in peace.

Yan Cheng'an chuckled softly and whispered in her ear, "A moment of bliss on the night of love is worth a thousand pieces of gold, my wife, we can't waste this precious time." With that, he scooped her up in his arms and strode toward the inner room.

The red candles flickered, the curtains swayed gently, and the room was filled with a romantic atmosphere.

The next morning, Su Jinxin woke up refreshed and found Yan Chengan looking at her with a smile.

"Good morning, madam." He gently kissed her forehead.

Su Jinxin stretched and smiled brightly: "Good morning, husband."

After having breakfast, Su Jinxin began to handle the affairs of the Su family.

After this period of rectification, the Su family mansion has returned to its former tranquility, and those unsettling factors have been completely eliminated.

Su Jinxin's decisive and efficient work style earned her both awe and admiration from the servants in the mansion.

As she flipped through the account books and listened to the butler's report, her brow furrowed slightly: "How is the liquidation of Second Uncle's assets going?"

"Reporting to Madam, the entire liquidation has been completed. As you instructed, the proceeds from the sale have been used to cover the household's deficit," the steward replied respectfully.

Su Jinxin nodded, pondered for a moment, and said, "Use part of the remaining silver to expand the shops and part to provide relief to the disaster victims."

The butler took the order and left.

Su Jinxin rubbed her temples, feeling somewhat tired.

She got up and walked to the window, looking at the bustling street outside, her mind filled with many thoughts.

She knew that although the crisis in the Su family had been temporarily resolved, more challenges awaited her in the future.

She must protect this family, protect Yan Cheng'an, and protect everything she has.

Suddenly, hurried footsteps sounded outside the door, followed by a maid rushing in, panicked: "Madam! Something terrible has happened! Master... Master..."

Su Jinxin's heart tightened, and a bad premonition surged into her heart: "What happened to my father?"

The maid's face turned deathly pale, and she stammered, "Master...Master...he suddenly fainted!"
