Chapter 51: Squeezing Out Liu's Family (Ten Pink Additions)
PS: When the chapter was released at dawn, I was too excited and made a mistake in the order. Please ask those who have subscribed and read Chapter 50 to take another look before 10 am today. It has been revised and the content is completely different. Sorry for the trouble caused, thank you for your understanding, muah muah.
Seeing the big account at this time still dare to pour dirty water on his own brother, Han Jiangxue coldly smiled and turned to look at her father, slowly saying: "Father, I don't know if you've heard that on the day of the martial arts exam, your daughter guessed in advance that the young master of the Song family would be the top scorer?"
Listening to his daughter suddenly mention something that happened several months ago, Han Feng naturally didn't know what she meant, but still replied truthfully: "Your sister mentioned this before, and I heard that you even made a bet with the young masters of the Zhuang and Zhang families back then."
"My father only knows one side, not the other. Before I made a bet with them, Li Xingming, the second son of Prince Zhuang's mansion, had planned to place a large bet in the capital's gambling den, betting that his elder brother would be the first name. My daughter advised him to change it to Song Qin instead. Li Xingming didn't know why he listened to my daughter's words at that time and actually placed a large bet on Song Qin winning. Afterwards, Li Xingming was indeed righteous and gave a portion of the silver tickets he won to my daughter, which was nearly 7,000 taels. All of this can be verified by my father at any time, and I am not speaking falsely. In other words, before Big Brother asked me to create a fake account for him, I already had a sum of silver that I could dispose of freely."
Han Jiang Xue's expression turned slightly solemn as he continued, "Although big brother is no longer willing to spend money recklessly like before, and indeed doesn't squander it like in the past. But as a member of a wealthy family, and at his age, with proper things to attend to, which social occasion or gathering wouldn't require spending some silver? We're not like our sister, where mother takes care of everything, and no one pays attention to whether our monthly allowance is enough for these normal social expenses. So on the day you asked big brother to work with you, I gave him a sufficient amount of silver notes to put in his pocket for any extra expenses that might arise."
"Father, my daughter said these things today without any other meaning. She just wants to completely prove that her brother cannot do such a foolish thing." Finally, Han Jiangxue said straightforwardly: "My siblings and I have never been short of money from the beginning to the end, let alone for such a small amount of money! The matter is obvious, this is a conspiracy aimed at framing my brother!"
Hearing this, Han Feng's face couldn't help but feel ashamed and regretful. Although his daughter had never complained about him as a father from start to finish, he completely understood that he had been foolish earlier!
Not only is he muddle-headed, but as a father, he is not even aware of many things about his children. It's clear that he doesn't care enough. Although the two children are indeed well-off now, if it weren't for their grandfather's support, how could they possibly be well-off with just one month's salary, having grown up and become adults with their own social interactions?
Otherwise, how could someone be so bold and shameless as to use silver money, a matter that cannot be made public, to frame their own son?
Thinking of this, Han Feng felt even more guilty towards his children and his late wife!
"Xue Er is right, it was Father who was confused and almost believed what those scoundrels said. Almost let your elder brother bear the blame for this!"
Han Feng has a greatest advantage, that is, if he made a mistake, he would admit it, and he would never refuse to admit it because he was afraid of losing face in front of his children. Of course, he also completely believed that his son could not do such a thing, and the evidence provided by his daughter was enough to explain everything!
It's not about the money. Naturally, I wouldn't do something like that for money.
But this time, although Han Feng felt ashamed in his heart, he was more relaxed. A kind of joy, the hope in his heart returned again. His expectations for his son also landed again, how could he not let him be happy?
The facts are clear. Han Jing had no motive to commit a crime, and it was immediately apparent. And with Han Feng's words, it was even more evident that Han Jing's innocence had been cleared. In an instant, the situation in the hall took a drastic turn, and from then on, everyone knew that they had to take care of those who dared to frame Master Han.
Liu's heart was already filled with hatred, she never thought that Han Jiangxue still had such a background and such a mind. Although she had previously realized that this girl was not simple, but she still underestimated this stinky girl!
However, Liu was not an ordinary person. Even if he had already exploded in his heart, he remained calm on the surface, and even warned that useless thing with a silent gaze early in the morning.
"So that's how it is, it seems that Jing Er was indeed framed by the Dai family!" Madam Liu naturally wasn't foolish and immediately followed with a regretful expression: "It's all our fault for being deceived by those despicable people earlier, we almost fell for their trap and wronged Jing Er."
Han Jiangxue had long noticed the complex and subtle gaze of Liu's eyes, so it was not unexpected to hear Liu say such clichés, and she didn't rush to speak up.
At this moment, Han Jing finally cleared his name and let out a breath of foul air. He furiously questioned the three accountants, including the one who had just spoken, "You bunch of daring slaves, how dare you collude with each other to frame Master? You're really lawless! Quickly tell me, who gave you such great audacity?"
Han Jing was not stupid, of course, he heard Liu's words earlier, which meant to clear himself, so he didn't respond to her at all, but directly questioned the several people in charge, clearly indicating that there were still backstage manipulators behind this matter.
Liu thought this matter could be settled just like that, but it's impossible!
Dai Zhan and the other two witnesses, seeing this, were so frightened that they hurriedly knelt down again to plead their case, saying that everything they had said was true and there was no frame-up, looking as if they had made up their minds not to let go.
"It's really not shedding tears until you see the coffin! At this time, you still dare to frame my son in front of me!" Han Feng was even more furious, unexpectedly these few people still dared to insist on their words and wouldn't let go, making it clear that even if he didn't believe or acknowledge it, wasn't this just trying to ruin his son's reputation?!
Han Jing saw the situation and simply cursed as he went forward, one foot at a time, knocking all of these people down. Just as he was about to kick again, he was pulled back by Han Jiang Xue.
"Big brother, don't worry, and Father, don't get too angry. I have a way to make them confess the truth." Han Jiangxue said as she glanced at Liu Shi beside her, not hiding her implication.
Liu looked up at Han Jiang Xue with a innocent and helpless expression, saying: "Snow, why are you looking at me like that? Even if your brother was wrongly accused, this matter has nothing to do with me. You can't just randomly guess and suspect me like this!"
"Mother is worrying too much, I didn't say anything, it's you, Mr. Mo, who are being overly cautious and thinking too much."
Han Jiangxue smiled slightly, seeing Liu's face turn green from her words, and lazily turned to her father who had already agreed: "After thoroughly investigating the matter of my elder brother later, I suggest that Father re-hire someone to thoroughly investigate the accounts of the Han family for these few years. In my opinion, the accounts handled by the chief accountant over the years are probably not very clean."
When Han Feng heard what Han Jiang Xue had said, he nodded in agreement without hesitation.
Liu's expression didn't change much, but in his heart he hated Han Jiangxue even more, gritting his teeth. The big man's face suddenly became even more panicked, kneeling there and mechanically shouting that it was a miscarriage of justice.
Han Jing finally shut up that loudmouthed big mouth, clearing the way for his sister. Wait until Han Jiang Xue shows off her skills and these idiots who dare to wrong him one by one reveal their true forms.
Han Jiangxue, however, didn't let anyone touch the big account book. She quickly whispered something in Ziyue's ear. Ziyue nodded to show she understood and called over the butler and other servants to take away the two so-called witnesses from the accounting room.
"Father, please wait a little longer, and everything will be clear soon." Han Jiangxue had already sat down calmly to drink tea, while her brother Han Jing was very confident in her and also sat down comfortably.
Han Feng didn't know what was going on in his daughter's mind, but he had confidence in her and didn't ask any more questions. As for Liu Shi, although he didn't say much else and didn't think too deeply about it, he still felt somewhat dissatisfied with the way Liu Shi secretly treated his own children differently. He slightly furrowed his brow and glanced at Liu Shi sideways before deciding not to bother with her anymore.
Liu was indeed very astute and naturally understood that thought of her husband, secretly biting her lip, thinking quickly in her mind about how to regain the good impression lost several times due to that dead girl. Moreover, she felt that in the future, she could no longer sit back and watch these two siblings grow up smoothly.
Everyone seemed to be thinking of their own thoughts in this gap, while the big account suddenly knelt there, and his expression became calm, with a few more sarcastic expressions on his face.
Han Jiang Snow had already sensed that this person was likely a dead pawn, and his mind turned slightly as he couldn't help but take another glance at Liu Shi.
As expected, that woman, although her complexion wasn't great, didn't show the slightest bit of panic. She even didn't glance at Da Zhang with a single look, it was clear that she had been prepared and had full confidence that Da Zhang wouldn't be able to get anything out of her.
However, this doesn't matter, as Han Jiangxue didn't plan on using just one thing to completely take down Liu. In any case, Liu's hypocritical face will eventually be exposed bit by bit.
Zi Yue quickly handled the matter, and in the time it took to drink a cup of tea, he had brought those two witnesses back into the hall with the butler and others.
This time, the two so-called witnesses suddenly changed their attitude as soon as they came in, directly kneeling down in front of Han Feng, crying and begging for mercy, admitting that they were instructed by Dai Zhang to frame Young Master.
What's more important is that they not only acknowledged it but also actively took out evidence.
