Chapter 835 Now it’s time to settle your account!

However, after rinsing my mouth and washing the area around my mouth and my hands, the black and purple stains were not washed away.

"Everyone understands, right? The ripe mulberries are black and purple. The juice on your hands and tongue is also black and purple. It is impossible to wash it off. The color won't fade away in three to five days. Manager Chen and the wife of the gardener in Prince Ping's mansion keep saying that the gardener was poisoned by eating mulberries from my house, but there is no trace of mulberries on the gardener's hands or face."

She turned to face the fat steward, and the fierce light in her eyes made the fat steward feel guilty and dared not look at her.

Qiao Ran sneered and looked at Eunuch Chen who was gritting his teeth in hatred:

"Shouldn't Prince Ping's Mansion give me an explanation for this kind of empty-handed rumor and slander?"

Eunuch Chen forced a smile on his face, but his tone was filled with uncontrollable gnashing of teeth:

"Of course! I will go back to the palace and report to the prince, and then spend another 600 taels to send someone to deliver it to the great doctor Qiao."

"Why, Prince Ping's Mansion is so rich, and you, a butler, followed the master out without even 600 taels on you?"

Qiao Ran had a half-smile on her face, and what she said startled Eunuch Chen.

Could it be that she saw me and the prince walking out of the teahouse one after the other?

Did she know that the prince was watching what was happening here in the teahouse across the street?

"Master Doctor Qiao, you are joking. I am just out for a stroll. Why would I carry six hundred taels of silver with me?"

"Really? Then send someone back to get it now! Prince Ping's Mansion is so powerful. If you don't come to give me the money after you go back, how can I dare to ask for it?"

Eunuch Chen opened his mouth angrily and wanted to say something, but looking at the dense crowd around him, he could only suppress his anger and said in a deep voice to the fat steward who was gritting his teeth:

"You were wrong in this matter. You made unwarranted assumptions and wrongly accused a good person. Don't act so rashly again. Apologize to the great doctor Qiao quickly, and then go back and get the banknotes to compensate him."

The fat steward looked reluctant:

"Uncle, you better go back to the mansion to get it! I'm afraid the prince will beat me to death!"

Eunuch Chen kicked him:

"Go quickly if I tell you to. Why are you dawdling? You caused this trouble yourself, and you still want the prince to clean up your mess? Go back and get your own banknotes to pay for it!"

"what?"

The fat steward looked incredulous:

"Uncle, six hundred taels! I... I can't afford that much!"

"Get lost! Don't think I don't know how much private money you have. If you keep delaying, I won't beg for you in front of the prince when I go back!"

Eunuch Chen was so angry that he was breathing heavily through his nose.

Now he just wanted to resolve this matter quickly and leave this place where he had lost face.

Moreover, he was representing the Prince Ping's Mansion today. If he lost face, it would mean the loss of the Prince Ping's Mansion.

After returning home, I don’t know how angry the prince will be!

It was all because of my nephew, this idiot! He couldn't even handle such a small matter, and even caused me, the butler of the palace, to suffer the consequences.

After hearing what Eunuch Chen said, the fat steward was so frightened that he no longer cared about the private money he had embezzled with great difficulty. He quickly got on the carriage and rushed back to the palace to get his own banknotes.

The fat steward paid six hundred taels as compensation, and he would certainly be severely punished by the angry King Ping when he returned home. Qiao Ran planned to give him some medicine that ordinary people could not tolerate as a minor punishment, as long as he could survive this half month of living a life worse than death and could resist committing suicide.

But there was another accomplice in this matter, and she was not going to let him go.

"You, come here! It's time to settle your account!"
