Chun Tao stepped forward and took the bamboo slip from Mr. Gu's hands, handing it to Bai Qingyan.
Mr. Gu raised his head, his gaze torch-like as he looked towards the Clan Leader. His voice boomed like a bell: "All these years, the Bai family in Dadu has sent treasures back to the clan. The Clan Leader, claiming to be prudent, always took them with his eldest son, Bai Qiyun. Whenever I mentioned reconciling accounts with the clan steward, the Clan Leader would question my trust in him in front of the King of Zhen. Thus, the matter always ended unresolved. Who could have imagined such filth behind it all?"
Before Mr. Gu finished his words, the King of Zhen realized that the Clan Leader was greedy. But he dismissed it, thinking that one must sometimes turn a blind eye for family harmony. He never expected it to result in this.
Bai Qingping looked utterly shocked. He didn't know that his grandfather had embezzled the Silver sent back by the Bai family in Dadu.
