Having no way to avoid, the steward had to step forward from the crowd: "Eldest Young Master, this humble one is here!"
Tang Jinghao glanced at him sideways, speaking in a sinister tone: "You dog of a servant, do you know your cri?"
The steward knew very well that the Eldest Young Master was certainly referring to yesterday’s incident of bringing the fake Divine Calculator into the mansion, but he couldn’t admit it aloud, so he feigned ignorance and said: "This servant does not understand what the Young Master is saying."
"Pretend, keep on pretending."
"...!"
"Ah! Knowing you’re wrong but refusing to confess, is that it?"
The Eldest Young Master was aggressive, and the steward couldn’t help but tremble internally, but his mouth stubbornly held firm: "This servant truly does not know what the Eldest Young Master is talking about, and hopes the Eldest Young Master will enlighten."
"I ask you, did you collude with that fake Divine Calculator yesterday, deliberately trying to defraud our Prince Pu’s Mansion?"
The accusation was followed with a sarcastic remark: "And how much silver did you get?"
With these words, everyone rembered that it was indeed the steward who brought in the wandering fortune-teller and misled them by saying he was the Divine Calculator, leading to the subsequent events.
In the end, the steward played a crucial role in this fraud, which caused significant losses to Prince Pu’s Mansion.
The steward was so frightened that he fell to his knees with a thud: "Injustice, Eldest Young Master, this humble one truly did not know he was a fake Divine Calculator."
"I think you did it on purpose." Tang Jinghao had long been displeased with this steward, wishing to replace him with a more obedient one.
The Eldest Young Master was determined to fra him, but the steward was not foolish and promptly turned to kneel before Prince Pu, loudly crying out his grievance: "Prince, I have always been loyal to the mansion, Your Highness knows well, I really did not do anything unworthy of the mansion, I hope the Prince will investigate clearly."
The steward felt wronged to death, he initially brought the wandering fortune-teller in for the good of the mansion, who would have thought he was a fraud, he was truly unlucky.
Prince Pu furrowed his brows: "You’re already of an age, stop sniveling, it would be laughable if seen, quickly get up."
This steward had been with him for over a decade, ticulously managing Prince Pu’s Mansion, saying he betrayed the mansion, Prince Pu wouldn’t believe it.
However, the facts were evident, the wandering fraud was indeed brought in by the steward, who confidently claid him to be the Divine Calculator, Prince Pu believed the steward, which led to the deception.
In the end, it was now impossible for the steward to clear his na.
"If the Prince doesn’t restore this humble one’s innocence, I won’t get up."
Clearly, he made a mistake, yet he wanted to threaten him, Prince Pu’s anger flared: "What innocence do you want? This prince’s mansion has almost been ruined by you."
Such a heavy accusation pressed down.
The steward also panicked, quickly kowtowing: "Prince, spare my life."
Tang Jinghao added fuel to the fire from the side: "To make such a significant mistake, almost dragging Prince Pu’s Mansion down, even if you were killed, it would be well-deserved."
The steward wailed tearfully: "Prince, Young Master, I beseech you to give this humble one another chance, I truly did not know the Divine Calculator was a fake."
Tang Jinghao was eager to kick him when he’s down: "Father, don’t waste words with him, just administer the family law."
In noble families, each has its own family law, and those who err must be punished.
Losing sixty thousand taels of silver for nothing, and even the daughter’s corpse was desecrated, Prince Pu could not swallow this resentnt, the itinerant world swindler had escaped, with no ans to seek revenge, he could only hold the steward as a scapegoat, beat him up first.
