All in vain

This number shocked everyone present.

You must know that Xu Zhao has been an official for more than ten years. Let’s not talk about the past few years. He is just a small clerk. His life depends on Lu Yaoyao’s mother’s dowry.

But later, after he married Mr. Gao, he began to rise step by step. Two or three years ago, he even ascended to a lucrative position like Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

He actually only has so little money?

It's really surprising.

To say that he is an upright official? No one present would believe it. Considering the bad things he did to the Lu family, his character is very questionable.

"Eunuch Li, could it be that you made a miscalculation?"

The eldest prince was the first to question.

"His Highness is joking. This old slave is the internal affairs manager of the palace. How could he miscalculate this little thing from the Xu family?"

It is true that the imperial palace is much bigger than the Xu family. How could Li De be miscalculating?

"Others are officials, and you are an official. Why are you so good at being an official?"

"It took so many years to get this kind of wealth. It's really a waste."

Lu Yaoyao glanced mockingly at Xu Zhao, who was lying on the bed.

Xu Zhaocai?

He is not a good person, on the contrary, he is somewhat shrewd, otherwise he would not have attached himself to Gao Yanming so quickly.

He has been rising steadily over the years, and although Gao Yanming is helping him behind his back, how can Gao Yanming think highly of him if he has no ability?

The Xu family has no money. The reason is actually very simple. Although he, Xu Zhao, has been watching the scenery outside these years.

But behind the scenes, the Gao family would give them a lot of benefits during the New Year and holidays.

In addition, Xu Zhao was a very respectable person and did a lot of extravagant and wasteful things.

It would be weird to have extra money.

This guy really doesn't know what to say. He has children, but he doesn't even think about earning more money for his children, so he spends his money extravagantly.

When Xu Zhao, who was on the bed, heard this, he glared at Lu Yaoyao angrily, with a hateful look, as if he wanted to kill Lu Yaoyao.

Facing his gaze, Lu Yaoyao was not afraid at all.

After today, Xu Zhao will be a useless person. She is not afraid even when the Gao family is helping her, let alone now that he has betrayed all his relatives and left.

"Eunuch Li, the lady Shicai has already asked."

"Over the years, my grandmother's family has given Xu Zhao one hundred thousand taels of silver."

Li De was also surprised when he heard this number.

One hundred thousand taels?

There was Xu Zhao's family wealth data for more than ten years in front of him. When he heard this number, Li De didn't believe it at the first time.

One hundred thousand taels are you kidding me? With Xu Zhao’s little wealth, it seems like someone who once had one hundred thousand taels?

"Eunuch Li, I can testify to this. Miss Lu's uncle is also here. If you don't believe it, just ask."

Hearing this, the second uncle of the Lu family quickly took out a contract from his arms and handed it to Li De with respectful hands.

"Eunuch Li, please see this. This is the document that Xu Zhao and my Lu family signed."

After taking the contract and looking at it, Li De frowned.

"This number is wrong."

"Eunuch Li, please give me a detailed report."

Then the second uncle of the Lu family told Xu Zhao how he had been forced for various reasons in recent years in order to get more money.

"I see."

"We believe what you said, but the evidence is somewhat lacking, Mr. Lu, look at it."

"Young man understands that everything should be carried out as written in the contract."

He had already heard that Xu Zhao's current total net worth was more than 10,000 taels. Not to mention the compensation of 100,000 yuan, even according to the compensation written in the contract, he could not afford the tens of thousands.

Your Majesty has already helped me a lot this time. There is no need to stand in a stalemate over such a small amount of money.

Li De was very satisfied with how sensible the second uncle of the Lu family was.

"But even according to what is written in the contract, Xu Zhao's current money is not enough to compensate."

"We have a suggestion."

"This court has said that there is a crime of money fraud. Xu Zhao's existing assets are not enough to compensate. If you are willing, our family can send him to Shuntian Mansion and let them sentence him based on the money he owes. What do you think?"

The second uncle of the Lu family is of course very satisfied. This piece of shit like Xu Zhao should stay in prison for the rest of his life.

However, just as he was about to nod, Lu Yaoyao beside him spoke.

"Eunuch Li won't bother you any more, just let him compensate you as much as he can."

"He is unkind, and women of the people must not be unrighteous."

Send Xu Zhao to jail, he is so beautiful.

Even if he was kept in prison for the rest of his life, she would not be satisfied. After all, he was just locked up there. Although he was not well fed, he could still be fed, right?

Besides, judging from the current situation, wouldn't letting him go to jail mean that he would be hiding from the limelight?

His humiliation of the Lu family back then was not over yet.

She wanted him to stay outside and enjoy the days ahead.

At the beginning, he was just a poor scholar. It was only because he married into the Lu family that he had the opportunity to reach where he is today.

Now it can be said that once he returns to before liberation, he must be allowed to have a good experience.

"Miss Lu has a kind heart, so I'll do as you say."

"Our family has asked people to move the money outside. Miss Lu can take it away at any time."

"As for Zhaizi and Zhuangzi, Miss Lu will need her own office to handle the transfer of ownership later. Our family will go over to greet them in person."

"It's embarrassing for Eunuch Li."

She said and nodded towards Qiu Shuang beside her.

Qiu Shuang understood immediately and exited the room. After a while, she came in with an extra purse in her hand.

"After Eunuch Li ran away for troublesome work on a hot day, the daughter of the people should have given her a nice banquet to thank her. However, there were still trivial matters to deal with, so she could only use other methods to express her gratitude. I hope Eunuch Li would not be offended."

The King of Jin and the eldest prince are nearby.

Naturally, Li De couldn't accept it directly, so he pretended to postpone it for a while and accepted it anyway.

"Then our family will return to the palace to recover."

"Thank you for your hard work, Eunuch Li."

As soon as Li De left, King Jin and the eldest prince also left.

After all, for some of the things that happened later, it was really inconvenient for outsiders like them to be present.

After everyone else left, Lu Yaoyao slowly pulled up a chair and sat down.

Looking at Xu Zhao on the bed.

"Master Xu, how do you feel now?"

Xu Zhao stared at her coldly and did not answer.

"More than ten years ago, you changed your life because you married into the Lu family. Unfortunately, you were unkind, ungrateful, and even repaid kindness with enmity."

"Retribution will come late, but it will never be absent."

"Enjoy your future."

As she spoke, she slowly stood up.

"Bitch, you and your mother are both bitches."

"I only wish I hadn't killed you bastard when I killed that bitch your mother."

Xu Zhaochi's eyes were red, he was gnashing his teeth, and his voice was vicious and cold, like an evil ghost.

"What did you say?"

Lu Yaoyao, who had just turned around, quickly turned around, rushed to the bed in a few steps, and stared at Xu Zhao with a serious look.

"Did you kill my mother?"

"Humph, so what?"

"I only wish I didn't kill you together."

"asshole."

When the second uncle of the Lu family heard this, he was furious. He rushed forward, grabbed Xu Zhao's lapel, and punched him.
