Chang’an Peasant Girl

Seeing that it was Cao's trusted maid who went, Su Xin did not stop her. She had her own ideas. She must make Cao spit out everything she ate for her husband!

Soon, Zhong Dasheng came. Before Zhong Dasheng came, Cao's trusted maid reminded him to take care of this matter alone, and Cao would definitely reward him well afterwards.

So, when Zhong Dasheng arrived, he knelt in front of Cao, kowtowed, and begged for mercy: "Madam, I was blinded by money and took the rent of the young master. It's all my fault, but please let me go because I have done this wrong thing since I was a child!" Before Cao could say anything, Su Xin shouted: "You have helped my husband collect rent for six years. My husband has a total of five shops. You embezzled ten taels of silver per month for each shop, which means a total of fifty taels of silver per month. There are twelve months in a year, so you embezzled six hundred taels in that year, and a total of three thousand six hundred taels in those six years. If you don't return all this money to me, I will send you to the court!" He didn't embezzle it at all. He gave it all to Cao. It was Cao who embezzled it. How could he pay it back? Moreover, if he embezzled so much money, if he was brought to justice, would he still have a way out? Cao couldn't protect him at all! Zhong Dasheng was so scared that he wanted to expose Cao, but he saw Cao's trusted maid hiding behind the screen and winking at her, clearly asking him to continue to resist, but Cao would pay the money.

Zhong Dasheng didn't believe it, so he went to see Cao. Cao nodded while no one was paying attention. Zhong Dasheng believed it and kowtowed to Su Xin, saying, "Madam, please give me a day. I will deposit all the money in the bank and return it to you when I take it out!"

Cao wanted to take out 3,600 taels to fill this huge hole, and she hated Su Xin even more in her heart, but at this time, she could only pretend to be a peacemaker and said, "Xin'er, Zhong Dasheng's parents used to work for the Tao Mansion. Both of them worked hard and never made any mistakes. Since Zhong Dasheng said that he would take out the money and return it to Ye'er, and you just said it, let's forget about it."

Su Xin refused to give in: "How can it be counted? Such a large sum of money! Wait until he returns all the money! Who knows if he will take the opportunity to run away! "

"His wife and children are here, can't we just hold them? Let's not wait until tomorrow, let him go to the bank to get the money today." After speaking to Su Xin, Cao turned around and ordered her trusted maid, Manjuan, who was standing far away: "Manjuan, take people with you to the bank with Zhong Dasheng, and make sure that Zhong Dasheng takes out the 3,600 taels!"

Must

Manjuan immediately understood, and after taking Zhong Dasheng out of the courtyard where Cao lived, she sent another maid to Cao's room to get the 3,600 taels of silver notes, which she would give to Zhong Dasheng later, so that Zhong Dasheng could get rid of this trouble and not implicate Cao.

Su Xin had not yet planned to expose Cao's ugly face, and even if she heard the true meaning of Cao's words, she did not say anything.

It was only when Cao saw Manjuan taking Zhong Dasheng away that she said to Su Xin with an apologetic look: "This is my subordinate. He actually deceived me like this. After he pays back the money to Tun Ye'er, I will not use him anymore and will expel him from the house." Su Xin smiled and said: "It's up to you whether to expel him from the house or not. I just want to seek justice for my husband and I also want you to recognize the people under your command so that you won't be deceived again without knowing it."
