Wan Shi only felt that the bronze key was about to pierce her eyes. She hurriedly nodded in panic and tremblingly said, "N-no! I've never seen it before!"

Her voice trembling, she said, "It's … It's true … No, it's not right. I think I've seen it before …"

In Lady Jiang's arms, Sun Ke was obviously frightened by the scene from a moment ago. He burst into tears.

Jiang Shi hurriedly tried to coax her daughter, and then lightly covered her mouth to stop her from crying.

Liu Wei did not walk too close. She stopped after taking a few steps, picked up the key again, and shook it in the air: "Second Young Madam, you did not mention that you recognized this key just now."

Liu Wei looked at Wan Shi again.

Wan Family shuddered and said hurriedly: "I obviously saw you take it before, wasn't it my second brother who was in charge of the workshop in the past? Last Spring Festival, when the cloth shop was closed, I clearly saw you take this key to open the door of the cloth shop, and even brought out a lot of cloth. At that time, when you were with your sister-in-law, you were poor, so I couldn't be bothered to expose you, but how could you not recognize this key? "

Jiang's face immediately turned pale, and his lips also lost blood.

Lady Sun, on the other hand, regained her composure and immediately slapped Madame Jiang again. "So you were the one who stole the two 10,000 yuan tribute to the capital last year!?" You bitch! Do you know that the yamen authorities came to collect the goods, and my Sun family was almost sent to prison because of the theft of the tribute? Tell me, where did you sell the Ten Thousand Flowers Iris? Calling from the truth! "

Madame Jiang had her back smacked by Madam Sun a few times. Her entire body was trembling as she flustered with her limbs. Trembling, she denied, "No, no, I really didn't!"

"Someone has already seen it, you still dare to say no, let's see if this old lady will beat you to death!" You are a lost cause who stole from his wife's family! "

Madame Sun's hand strength truly didn't last long before blood started trickling out from the corners of Madame Jiang's mouth, but she still bit into it without saying anything.

Sun Ke cried even harder in his mother's arms. When Sun Yiyi heard this, she simply grabbed at his hair and pulled him out.

Seeing that, Liu Wei squinted her eyes.

Madame Jiang hurriedly knelt down and hugged her daughter, crying as she said, "I said, I said, I said, I said no, it's not me, it's my husband. He owed me a thousand taels of silver, saying that my friend had connections and would be able to give him two thousand taels just because he sold the kite. I'm not really me!"

When Madame Sun heard this, she only felt her vision turn black and she felt as if she were about to explode. Outside of her, Esteemed Sun also felt dizzy. He fell backwards onto the back of his chair, gasping for breath.

Madame Jiang sobbed until tears streamed down her cheeks as she timidly hugged her daughter. "My husband said that my father wasn't willing to give him the silver. He's the only one who can do that. I really didn't know anything about the cloth … After giving it to him, I was scared for a long time, especially when the yamen came. I was really scared … but Wan Hua Yuan had already sold her money, so I couldn't do anything about it …"

The catastrophe that happened last year was an unforgettable memory for all members of the Sun family. A tribute was sent over from the western Subordinate Country, but the satin was too ordinary. When the Ministry of Rites presented it, the satin was lowered, and silk merchants were called upon to dye the satin twice.

At that time, many silk merchants in Jiangnan province fought for it with all their might, however, Master Wan of the Pavilion Jiang Prefecture and the Minister of Rites, Minister Zuo, were fellow disciples of the same sect, and because of the marriage relationship between the thousands of families, the Sun family obtained the right to be the second dye, and the Sun family was about to rely on the second dye tribute to soar into the sky, leaving Western Jin County and entering the hands of the wealthy Son of Heaven.

The damask dyed and named "Wanhua Yuan" was lost.

The Ministry of Rites was responsible for this crime, and the Sun family was almost condemned as a family member for it. In the end, they had to pay tens of thousands of taels of silver to explain themselves.

This was also the reason why Steward Sun and Madam Sun were so afraid of the Wan family. The ability of the Wan family's father wasn't something that a merchant from the countryside like them could imagine.

And now, Steward Sun and Madam Sun found out the truth behind the theft of the tribute. It was truly a huge blow to them …

He knew that his second son was a good-for-nothing, a playboy who was always lazy to eat and do whatever he wanted, but he didn't expect that last year's disaster would also be related to him …

But now, no matter how much you said it, it was useless. Sun Yiyi was already dead, but the accomplice who helped Sun Jian steal the tribute was still alive!

Madame Sun gritted her teeth as she thought of this. She gave Madame Jiang another round of beatings without regard for her life. Madame Jiang did not say a single word as she silently endured, her tears falling like a broken string.

Liu Wei did not know about these past events and only watched as they played around. He was disappointed, the reason for her investigation was the murder case before his, the loss of the tribute, what did it have to do with her?

Turning her head, she wanted to ask the Wan family what else they knew, but she inadvertently swept a glance at them and saw a faint smile on their faces.

In a flash, when she looked again, Wan Shi was still the young miss who fell on the ground and was beaten into a state of terror by her.

He had hit Wan Shi, swept her face, and even snapped her fingers. Wan Shi was afraid of her, but still held back and shrank back like a quail, not daring to glare at her and not daring to hate her. However, she treated Jiang Shi seriously.

Wan Shi's smile just now was directed in the direction of Jiang Shi. Did she hate Jiang Shi? Why? What was the grudge between these two people?

Liu Wei started to feel that this case was not that simple. The Sun family was much more complicated than she thought at the beginning.

Jiang's body smelled completely different from his daughter.

A seemingly big and unworthy, secretly hating the wife of his second daughter-in-law who was squashed flat by her husband's family.

These two young madams seemed to have quite a few secrets.

And just now, when it was clear that no one would be able to call her out, why did she come out when the Jiang Clan personally went over?

What did they say? What did Wan Shi think of Jiang Shi?

Sun Tong, Wan Shi, Sun Jian, and Jiang Shi were involved in two more cases?

The Dyeing Cloth Workshop and the Myriad Flowers Garden. Were these two related? Why did the Wan family expose the Jiang family at this moment? Why do you have to say it now when the tribute was stolen last year?
