Being rejected by a scholar? She is so rich, what is she afraid of?

Chapter 6 Witness

Yun Xi was indeed being sarcastic. She said, "Zhao Junyi, didn't you just pass the exam to become a scholar? How come you can't even do simple arithmetic?"

Zhao Junyi frowned, "What do you mean?"

Yun Xi was too lazy to talk nonsense with him and looked at Yun Qi and Yun Yan, "Big Brother, please calculate for him how much interest we should get for the money we have lent over the years."

"Okay, little sister." The two brothers answered in unison.

Then everyone found a branch and wrote and drew on the ground.

Soon, both of them got results.

"Little sister, it's seventy-four taels, four hundred and forty-three coins." Yun Qi spoke first.

"Little sister, this is the number I calculated as well." Yun Yan also said.

Yun Xi smiled and nodded, "Yeah, that's right."

"Hiss~" Everyone took a breath of cold air.

so much?

"Robbering money? You must be crazy about money." Zhang shouted.

Yun Yan snorted coldly, "Humph, listen carefully. Eight years ago, you asked our family to borrow the first sum of money, which was ten taels. Then one year later, the principal and interest became 11 taels.

The next year you asked us to borrow another 15 taels. At this time, the principal should be 26 taels, and the interest for this year would be 2 taels, 600 wen.

By analogy, the accumulated interest so far this year is 74 taels, 443 wen."

After saying that, he raised his chin towards Zhao Junyi and said smugly, "Zhao Junyi, did I make a mistake?"

Zhao Junyi pursed his thin lips and said nothing. There was no extra expression on his bruised face, but his eyes seemed to be blazing with fire, and he was obviously very angry.

Indeed, at this moment Zhao Junyi was ashamed, angry and annoyed.

Damn, it's really hateful.

He was a scholar, but he was outdone by two farm boys.

If this is the case, where can I put my face?

"I didn't expect Brother Qi and Brother Yan to be so proficient in arithmetic. We usually follow the teacher to learn how to study in the academy, but we don't learn much about arithmetic. It's also my fault that I don't pay much attention to money. It seems that I have to improve my arithmetic in the future."

vomit--

Yun Xi almost vomited after hearing his words that were meant to save her dignity.

Oh my God!

Call off the engagement immediately and make this person disappear from your sight.

Yun Yan also rolled his eyes at him without disguising, "Stop talking nonsense and return the money."

Zhao Junyi choked, clenched his fists, and finally said to Zhang, "Mom, give me the money."

How could Zhang have so much money on her? She could only beat her chest and cry as she went home to get it again.

Oh my god, what a bunch of bandits.

Silver, my silver.

After all the trouble, the Zhao family finally paid back all the money they owed to the Yun family, including the principal and interest.

"Are you satisfied with this? Should we return my son's engagement letter to you?" Zhao Pingxiu said with gritted teeth.

"Wait, my daughter said there are two conditions, and this is only the first one." Xi reminded.

The Zhao family members all looked at Yun Xi again.

"What else do you want?"

Yun Xi said calmly, "Secondly, the Zhao family must apologize to me. You slandered my reputation. I explained clearly what happened back then. But now you are canceling the engagement and using what happened back then as an excuse. This is purely because you want to cancel the engagement but are afraid that others will say you are ungrateful and slander me."

She said this bluntly. In fact, many people think so, but most people would not say it so bluntly.

"You are talking nonsense. Who slandered you? We were deceived by you back then. We believed your lies when you said he fell off the cliff. Who knew you lied to us? He didn't fall off the cliff at all, but was kidnapped by bandits." Zhang argued loudly.

"You are talking nonsense. Our girl Xi just fell off the cliff. Stop slandering her." Xi shouted back without giving in.

"Humph, we have witnesses who saw this little bitch being captured by bandits, but we haven't told anyone about it for fear of her reputation." Zhang snorted coldly and looked at Yun Xi with contempt.

Yun Xi's expression froze, and she asked, "Who saw it with their own eyes?"

"I can't tell you this, for fear of retaliation from you."

"Oh, can't you tell me or can't you? I don't think there is such a person. You want to cancel the engagement and deliberately fabricate such a witness to slander me. You are so heartless.

Zhao Junyi is so ungrateful and unjust. I wonder if the teachers and classmates in his academy know about this. I can ask my two brothers to go to the academy and ask them. "

Yun Xi was threatening the Zhao family. If they didn't tell everyone about this person, she would go to the academy to ruin Zhao Junyi's reputation.

What scholars fear most is damaging their reputation; if their reputation is ruined, they may not even be able to take part in the imperial examinations in the future.

She forced the Zhao family to reveal the so-called witness because someone had pushed the original owner off the cliff. Since the Zhao family had evidence of their absence, this witness was likely the murderer of the original owner.

She wanted to see who was hiding in the dark and doing this.

It's time to pay back a life for a life.

Faced with Yun Xi's questioning and threats, Zhang became anxious. Compared with her son's reputation, any agreement was secondary.

She betrayed this person without hesitation, "The eldest girl of the Wang family can testify."

The crowd was in an uproar.

Isn’t the eldest girl in the Wang family the eldest daughter of the village head’s younger brother?

She is one year older than Yunxi, 15 years old this year, and is known as Wang Daya.

Generally, many families do not pay much attention to a girl when she is born. They are too lazy to even give her a name and just call her Big Ya or Little Ya.

The same goes for Wang Daya. Her family didn’t give her a name, so they just called her Daya.

Wang Daya happened to be in the crowd at this time and was pointed out by Zhang. Everyone around her looked at her.

"Daya, is this true? Did you really see Xi being captured by bandits?"

Wang Daya did not answer immediately, but looked at Zhao Junyi pitifully. Zhao Junyi, with a bruised face and nose, turned away indifferently.

She glanced at Zhang again, and Zhang said directly, "Daya, don't be afraid, just tell the truth. Jun Yi is already a scholar now, don't be afraid of revenge from the Yun family, we will all protect you."

Wang Daya lowered her head, a hint of anger flashed in her eyes. Zhang was really untrustworthy.

Now that he has given himself away, Yun Xi will definitely know that he was the one who pushed her off the cliff.

Forget it, now that things have come to this, I can only insist that I definitely saw it with my own eyes.

She nodded slightly and hummed softly.

When the villagers got her affirmative answer, they were immediately excited.

"Oh my god, this Xi girl was really captured by bandits. Doesn't that mean she is..."

"I was wondering why he didn't die after falling off a cliff, but it turns out that's not the case at all."

"It's no wonder the Zhao family wants to cancel the engagement. Who would dare to marry her after she was defiled by bandits?"

"How shameless! You have the nerve to come back after all this. If it were me, I would just jump off the cliff and be done with it."
