After the eldest daughter was reborn, the whole family knelt down and begged for forgiveness

Xiao Xuetang had the boxes of things sent by the old lady opened one by one. The jewellery was sparkling in the sun. The maids who were watching the fun at the side couldn't help but stretch their necks to stare.

The more Qiyue looked at it, the angrier she became...

They knew that the old lady had taken their young lady's things out of disrespect for her age, but they didn't expect that there were so many things!

Thinking about how her young lady didn't even have decent jewelry to wear when she went out to meet guests because of the old lady, and how many people laughed at her in private over the years, Qiyue felt so angry that her teeth were itching.

Xiao Xuetang still sat there motionless.

Nanny Qin frowned slightly and asked, "Miss, what do you mean by this?"

Xiao Xuetang said leisurely: "Something is missing."

"This is impossible!"

Nanny Qin retorted subconsciously.

The old lady was stingy and never gave up. Except for those things that were sent from Jingzhou by Xie, most of Xiao Xuetang's things over the years were brought by her when she lived in Xie's house.

The things that the Xie family brought were all valuable books, calligraphy and paintings. The old lady didn't understand anything about those things, so she just kept them in the storeroom and touched and looked at them when she had nothing to do.

"Of course I believe that grandma would not embezzle her granddaughter's things without permission, but there is no guarantee that she will be careless and her subordinates will be bold enough to bully her. Aunt Qin, you are a smart person. I advise you to take this opportunity today to check the things in the storehouse."

Others might be fine, but Lai Mama was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat and subconsciously said, "No!"

Nanny Qin saw the problem instantly, her face darkened, and she immediately ordered, "Go get the account book from the warehouse."

Xiao Xuetang said, "Since we are going to try them, why not try them all today and bring all of them to Litangju."

While waiting for the prisoners to be arrested, Xiao Xuetang had already ordered people to set up tea, snacks and two chairs under the eaves.

She sat with Nanny Qin, while Nanny Lai stood awkwardly by the side.

The people under Qin Mama's command took a few of Lai Mama's men into custody. They were all trembling like sieves, their faces pale...

Led by Nanny Lai, they could not believe what had happened in the past half day: first, the old lady, who had always been stingy, asked Nanny Qin to return the treasures she had already swallowed up to the eldest daughter; then, the eldest daughter, who had always been weak and could be bullied, took out the account book and counted the things one by one, and even instigated Nanny Qin to reconcile the accounts with the old lady.

Nanny Lai is even more miserable.

She had often embezzled things from Xiao Xuetang's room, and also from the old lady's storeroom. However, she relied on her status as an old lady to steal from both sides and thought no one knew.

But he never expected that he would fall into Xiao Xuetang's hands today!

Nanny Qin glanced at Nanny Lai, but she didn't say anything. Instead, she looked at Xiao Xuetang and said, "Miss, how do you think this matter should be handled?"

Nanny Qin was very angry today, and she wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of Nanny Lai, but she changed her mind and looked at Xiao Xuetang with a shrewd look...

I thought I'd take this opportunity to try out this young lady's methods!

Xiao Xuetang did not disappoint Nanny Qin. She looked at Nanny Lai and the others and said, "You are my grandmother's people. Although I cannot torture you, I will just ask you to kneel under the sun on tiles and not give you any food or tea. If you keep kneeling for one day, you will confess even if you are made of iron."

"I know that some of you must have been wrongly accused, but you were arrested today because of some evidence. Although you will not be punished with the criminal penalty, you will be dismissed from your post, which is not unfair to you, but..."

Xiao Xuetang changed the subject and continued, "However, some of these items are stamped by the government, which is very special. Even if your subordinates want to take them, they have no intention of taking them. If you tell us who ordered you to do so, hand over the items you have taken and you are given ten strokes of the cane, how about you still stay as an errand boy?"

Originally, these people were in collusion with Nanny Lai to some extent and had gained some benefits. They had already made an agreement and would never confess even if beaten to death.

But Xiao Xuetang's combination of kindness and force instantly disintegrated the group of people who were still stubborn...

"I admit it!"

Immediately, a little maid couldn't help but speak, and Xiao Xuetang's lips curled up slightly with a smile...

In her previous life, she had been the queen for three years. After her rebirth, it was a piece of cake for her to deal with the people in the Marquis' Mansion!

"Miss, we are wronged. Even if I had ten times the courage, I would not dare to touch these things of yours. These were all... instigated by Nanny Lai."

"Yes, we just followed Madam Lai's instructions. If the eldest lady got any good things here, we told her first. She kept half of it privately, and then told the old lady the remaining half."

"Yes, we were all coerced by Nanny Lai, and Nanny Lai took the lion's share of what we got. We just got some benefits..."

Before Xiao Xuetang could use any tricks, the people below confessed everything, which almost made Nanny Lai so angry that she almost collapsed!

"My lady is wise. I was just blinded by greed for a moment. Please forgive me, my lady."

Seeing that Nanny Lai no longer had her usual dignity and was kneeling on the ground with her head bleeding, Xiao Xuetang said with a smile: "I am a man of my words. As long as you hand over what I swallowed, I will forgive you for what happened."

When Nanny Lai heard this, she felt as if she had been pardoned and went downstairs to get the things.

Seeing how Nanny Lai acted, the others no longer dared to resist and handed over their things one after another.

Except for a few gold bracelets and hairpins that were melted and sold, most of the engraved jewelry are still there.

However, Xiao Xuetang didn't care about the treasures and jewelry that her parents and brothers brought from Jingzhou. What she cared about were the things left by the Xie family, many of which were rare calligraphy and paintings.

Those rare calligraphy and paintings are truly priceless treasures, but these people don’t know that they only sold their gold and silver jewelry. These treasures are still there...

Xiao Xuetang secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'm thankful!"

All these rare calligraphy and paintings from the previous life were looted by Ye Jin, who was in charge of the Marquis' Mansion later. She used them to win over many scholars from poor families. Ye Jin used her things to make scholars all over the world work for her!

In this life, Xiao Xuetang took the initiative and snatched back what originally belonged to him from the old lady before Ye Jin did.

While counting these things, a small incident occurred.

There was a copy of Yan Zhenqing's calligraphy, which was actually used by Nanny Lai to pad the corner of the table!

For a moment, Xiao Xuetang was neither angry nor happy...

"Okay, Nanny Qin, my lawsuit is settled, so I'll leave Nanny Lai to you."

Nanny Qin gave a look and the people below quickly dragged Nanny Lai away.

Nanny Lai was shocked and said, "Miss, you can't go back on your word!"

Xiao Xuetang smiled slightly and said, "I have promised to forgive you, but whether my grandmother can protect you is another matter, but..."

Xiao Xuetang suddenly changed his tone and said, "Ye Jin should have given you a lot of benefits these days. If you take out the money, maybe you can avoid the pain."

Nanny Lai looked up in surprise, and met Xiao Xuetang's half-smiling face, which made her feel horrified.

She knew, she knew everything!

This young lady who seemed to be living in a quiet corner of the mansion and not concerned with worldly affairs, was actually aware of every little thing going on in the mansion...

Everything is under her control.

The reason why Xiao Xuetang dealt with Nanny Lai so late was just because she wanted Ye Jin to pay more money.

She wanted to squeeze Ye Jin's money bit by bit, let her self-righteously pursue the so-called dream of becoming a queen, and end up with nothing, so that she could take revenge on Ye Jin for all the pain that she had suffered in her previous life!

This is what makes the game interesting...
