The eyes of everyone in the room changed when they looked at Su Tang. The eldest mistress must be too generous. The third wife just happened to help her, so she gave such a precious jade bracelet to the third girl. Moreover, she was forced to give the jade bracelet to the third girl.
The eldest girl compensated her...
It's okay if she doesn't give the third girl a jade bracelet, but if she angers the eldest girl, it will be a big problem.
Xie Rou's delicate face was twisted with anger. She knew very well that Su Tang was deliberately angry with her, but she just couldn't control her anger.
Nothing happened, Su Tang was about to get up and leave. At this time, a maid came in from outside and reported, "The Queen Mother demoted the third wife of the palace to the fifth rank..."
The third wife looked at Princess Nankang in surprise, "How could the good Mrs. Yun be demoted?"
Before he finished speaking, another maid ran in from outside and reported, "The emperor sent people to seal down Wanliuzhai."
Princess Nankang's face sank, "Why would the emperor seize Wanliuzhai?"
The maid hurriedly replied, "I heard that this morning, the old prince Xin asked the emperor for forgiveness and reported to the emperor that someone in Kyoto made fake banknotes and sold them. The Queen Mother knew that Mrs. Yun San gave the eldest mistress a dowry with fake banknotes.
She was demoted from the third rank to the fifth rank. The emperor listened to the minister's report that Wanliuzhai was selling counterfeit banknotes, and sent officers and soldiers to search. As expected, the fake banknotes were found from Wanliuzhai, and then Wanliuzhai was sealed...
..."
Su Tang sat there, feeling a little ashamed as she listened. If she hadn't asked for fake banknotes, Wanliuzhai would not have been sealed.
But Wanliuzhai knew it was illegal to make fake banknotes and still did it, so it was only a matter of time before he was seized.
After returning to Jingmoxuan, Su Tang went directly to the study and said to Xie Boting, "Wanliuzhai has been sealed. Do you know about this?"
"I know now," Xie Boting said calmly, turning the pages casually.
Seeing that he didn't want to talk to her, Su Tang turned around and left.
After taking two steps, he turned back and asked, "How much does it cost to buy a fake banknote with a denomination of Zhang Wanliang?"
"I don't know," Xie Boting didn't even raise his head.
Su Tang frowned, "You bought it, you didn't know?"
Xie Boting looked at Su Tang, with a faint smile on his lips, "Who told you that I bought it?"
"I didn't buy it. Could it be that it was stolen?" Su Tang gritted his teeth.
"Um."
"..."
The answer was so straightforward.
Before I was in a daze, I thought it was not him who said that counterfeit banknotes were illegal.
Please, is it illegal to steal things?
Su Tang said, "Your fake banknote was stolen. What about the big girl's?"
Xie Boting said with a smile, "Wan Liuzhai has the guts to make counterfeit banknotes, but he doesn't have the guts to sell them openly. I know it's a complete coincidence, but she can get it easily, which shows that Princess Nankang and Wan Liuzhai have a close relationship."
"Now that Wanliuzhai has been sealed up, none of the people behind it can escape."
As he said that, he looked at Su Tang and smiled meaningfully, "They say that if the father stamps his foot, the court will shake for three days. I think if the lady raises her hand, the court will shake for half a month."
Actually flattering her, Su Tang smiled sweetly and said, "My husband is so flattering, I don't give you a chance to take action, otherwise the imperial court will collapse."
Xie Boting, "..."
Xie Boting held his forehead and said, "Don't flatter others if you have nothing to do in the future."
"Why?" Su Tang wondered.
"I'm afraid that people will be killed immediately by your flattery."
"..."
Su Tang glared at Xie Boting, turned around and left.
Knowing that Wanliuzhai had a close relationship with Princess Nankang, Su Tang's guilt towards Wanliuzhai disappeared. She didn't care how much shock the fake bank notes would cause in the court, because it had nothing to do with her.
, but I didn’t expect that she would be the first one to be affected.
