He had done it so many times without being discovered, so he also thought that as long as the number was the same, there would be no problem. But why was it different with the princess consort?

He opened his mouth to say something, but Ning Yue spoke first.

“Firstly, although the emperor has bestowed a marriage, I’m only the future princess consort. You can’t call me the princess consort directly!”

“I…” Yang Ling wanted to explain, but he was interrupted by Ning Yue again.

“Also, there’s something wrong with this accounting. Do you think I can’t see it? How much do the peanuts weigh? Look at how much money is written on it yourself. I’m doing this to work with a noble to benefit the people. Aren’t you afraid of death?”

“I didn’t! I was wronged!” Yang Ling rolled his eyes and immediately cried out.

This was what his mother had taught him to say to the shopkeeper. His mother had said that as long as he shouted for justice, the shopkeeper would let it go.

“I’ll write what the market sells. There’s also a record of the amount I bought. Is there a problem with this?” Yang Ling braced himself and said. He believed what his mother said. As long as the numbers were even, he was not afraid!

“Yang Ling, peanuts are only 35 copper coins a cattery. The price here is almost one tael of silver a catty. Do you really think we don’t know anything?”

Ning Yue was very angry, but Yang Ling still felt that it was nothing and it was just a small sum of money. Even if his mother’s method was useless, it still meant nothing to him.

“You really won’t shed tears until you see the coffin!” Ning Yue said coldly.

“Let me tell you, it’s true that the emperor bestowed a marriage between me and Prince Jin, but we’re not married yet. Why are you still calling me princess consort? In addition, I cooperated with the nobles to start the oil press business and benefit the people. You actually used this to fill your own pockets.”

“Both of your crimes involve contempt of the imperial power. Not only will you be beheaded, but your entire family will also be executed. Yang Ling, oh Yang Ling, you’re about to die, but you’re still not telling the truth. Do you want me to report it to the officials?”

Hearing Ning Yue mention reporting to the officials, Yang Ling was afraid.

He was just greedy for a little silver. How did it reach the point of reporting it to the officials?

He slumped to the ground and shook his head as if he had gone crazy. “I don’t want my family killed. I definitely don’t want my family killed!”

Ning Yue frowned. Why was this person still pretending? He would piss his pants if he was frightened.

Seeing this, Old Master Ning couldn’t help but say, “Yueyue, don’t scare people.”

“Grandpa, I’m telling the truth. You can calculate for yourself. For 35 copper coins a catty of peanuts, if he writes it down as one tael of silver a catty, the 100 catties will cost 100 taels of silver. How much silver did he embezzle? Grandpa, have you ever thought about the silver which was lost?”

This was also not about the silver. There was something wrong with his values. He was a thief for taking away the silver without asking. That was a sin.

Hearing Ning Yue’s words, Old Master Ning’s expression darkened.

That’s right. Yang Ling was greedy for a lot of money. This was not something he could decide alone.

Looking at the angry gazes around him, Old Master Ning knew that he had to give everyone an explanation today.

Wasn’t this money the cost of the oil room?

At the thought of this, Old Master Ning said to Ning Yue, “Yueyue, report it to the officials. We can’t make the decision on this matter anymore.”

Ning Yue nodded and looked at Jiang Ying. Jiang Ying immediately sent someone to report to the officials.

It was unknown if Yang Ling was really stupid or pretending, but he kept shaking his head and muttering.

In the end, Yang Guang heard the commotion and rushed over. When he saw his nephew sitting on the ground, he shook his head like a fool and could not help but ask.

A few enthusiastic villagers immediately went forward and told him what had happened.

After knowing what had happened, Yang Guang poked Yang Ling’s head with a pained expression. “What did you learn from your mother? If you learn her shrewdness, what will Uncle do? How will Uncle save you?” Yang Guang cried.

But even so, Yang Ling looked stupid.

Seeing him like this, Yang Guang knelt on the ground towards Ning Yue. “Yueyue, please let him go. He’s my only nephew. His parents aren’t well either. He…”

Yang Guang kowtowed as he spoke. He only wanted his nephew to be safe. He could lose money and do anything to compensate.
