A concubine enters the mansion? Reborn, three matchmakers and six engagements to marry the Prime Min

Lin Wanyin looked past Qian Ming and towards Su Chengye.

Seeing that Su Chengye didn't understand what this account was about, a sneer suddenly appeared on her lips.

"This account is a long story."

"There was a cousin before the Marquis of Pingning who lived in the Su family for several years."

"When she first came that autumn, the doctor felt her pulse and said she was a little weak and it would be best if she continued to take blood swallows."

"This five hundred taels of silver was the money I used to buy her the blood swallows for the first time. But it was not until a few months ago that I learned that this cousin was the concubine of Marquis Pingning."

"The two have been living together for many years, and even gave birth to a child. He also tried to put the child in my name and inherit the title of the Marquis. The funny thing is that the child actually belongs to someone else, and Marquis Pingning is also a victim."

Lin Wanyin made it clear in a few words the involvement between Su Chengye and Gu Ruoyun, including the cuckold Gu Ruoyun had put on him.

This time, not only the people surrounding the scene were whispering, but their eyes were shining. Even the three adults who were reviewing the case listened attentively and exchanged glances from time to time.

Su Chengye's face turned the color of pig liver as he listened to the people outside pointing their fingers.

He walked to Qian Ming and whispered: "Are you going to ask? Ask in another book."

Qian Ming nodded quickly, "I understand, I'll change it now."

After saying that, he took out another account book from the box, opened it and looked at it.

"Why is there an expenditure of ten thousand taels of silver, but no details are written down?"

"On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month of the ninth year of Xuande's reign? Isn't this a flower spent at your parents' home?"

Qian Ming looked at Lin Wanyin meaningfully, intending to change the topic to his parents' family.

But everyone in the Su family, including Su Qingyu who was standing outside the lobby, looked startled when they heard the date was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month in the ninth year of Xuande.

Su Qingyu's eyes were full of sorrow, she lowered her eyes slightly and laughed to herself. If this old man saw the scene in the Su family today, he would be so angry that he would crawl out of the ground.

When Su Chengye and Su Chengyan heard about this day, panic appeared on their faces.

Su Chengye was about to speak, wanting Qian Ming to change the subject, but it was too late, Lin Wanyin had already spoken.

"These ten thousand taels of silver were spent on the old man's funeral."

"When the old man passed away, the old lady proposed to do it in a glamorous way. But the Marquis's house didn't have that much money, so I took out 10,000 taels from the dowry money."

Thinking of the old man of the Su family, Lin Wanyin felt complicated. To be fair, it was the old man of the Su family who agreed to marry her back then. That marriage was a conspiracy.

But after entering the house, the old man treated her and his daughter sincerely.

Before the old man passed away, he had been working hard to keep the family running and never asked her to use her dowry to support the family.

After the old lady passed away, her dowry money began to be spent heavily on the Su family.

Now that he has passed away, she did not want to criticize an old man who has passed away in this occasion. Besides, she also knew the relationship between her daughter and grandfather.

If the old man had a soul in heaven and knew that he had to use the money for the funeral, I don't know how angry he would be.

So when it came to this, Lin Wanyin thought for a moment and then said: "I can return these ten thousand taels of silver to the Su family. The old man's funeral should be regarded as my filial piety for his old man."

But to the ears of the two brothers from the Su family, these words were a slap in the face.

Who would pay for their father's funeral and still need money from others?

If Lin Wanyin was still the wife of the Su family, it would make sense. But now that they are all divorced, it would be unfilial for the Su brothers to mention this funeral money again.

Su Chengye said hurriedly, "No need, our Su family will pay for this money."

Lin Wanyin didn't say much and looked up at the three presiding officials above the lobby.

"The three adults have listened for a long time. Do you understand it now?"

"Do you still think that what I took away was the Su family's property?"

Wang Jian saw impatience in Lin Wanyin's eyes, but this matter was of great importance, so he lowered his head to discuss with the other two.

Lin Wanyin frowned slightly and spoke again.

"Actually, I have a simple method. Most of these belongings were purchased by Marquis Pingning in recent years."

"You can check the Su family's account books. The old man didn't leave much behind, and the Su family has little income."

"Then where did these things come from? They don't belong to me. Did they come from Ping Ning Hou Tan Mo?"

Su Chengye was so frightened that he almost slipped off his chair.

"Don't talk nonsense, how could I be greedy?" Su Chengye said sharply.

Lin Wanyin shrugged, "I didn't say you must be greedy. Don't you need adults to investigate?"

Su Chengye held his breath in his chest and could only look at Wang Jian.

Wang Jian did not dare to accept this, and the court officials who were corrupt were not under the control of the Ministry of Punishment.

The three of them deliberated for a long time and decided to acquit the Lin family. Keep these accounts and ask officials from the Ministry of Accounts to help review them.

As soon as the verdict came out, everyone in the Lin family had no reaction, but the people outside cheered first.

They all loudly said that these adults are the great masters of Qingtian.

As for why the people were so angry, Pearl had a role to play in this. When the case was being tried in the hall of the Ministry of Justice, Pearl had been chatting with the crowd.

After a case was tried, the news spread about how the Su family treated the Heli wife.

It would be fine if Lin Wanyin was a noble girl, but she was just the daughter of a merchant. These people always feel that Lin Wanyin is the same as them. As a result, she became even more angry, feeling like her daughter was being bullied.

Lin Wuchen was not overjoyed after hearing Wang Jian's verdict.

Instead, he asked: "Sir, if the Ministry of Accounts has completed the verification and our accounts are fine, then what will happen if the Su family falsely accuses us?"

Wang Jian asked: "How do you want to calculate it?"

According to the "Dazhou Code", those who make false accusations will be punished with twenty imperial staffs. However, Su Chengye had an official position and could reduce his sentence to ten strokes. The remaining ten sticks are also allowed to be redeemed with money.

It is almost impossible for the Lin family to use false accusations to move Su Chengye.

Then Lin Wuchen said: "This morning, Marquis Pingning sent people outside to ruin the reputation of the Lin family. He said that our family robbed property and coveted the wealth of the Marquis's house."

"We are businessmen. Now that our reputation has been affected, how can we still do business with others?"

"If this matter reaches the ears of the nobles in the palace, our qualifications as imperial merchants will probably be undermined."

"I only ask Marquis Pingning to write down what happened in his own hand, sign it, and post it everywhere in the capital to clear the name of the Lin family."
