On the wedding day, the sedan chair of Lu Zhao, the daughter of the Minister of Etiquette, was stopped by a dying accountant.
The man recognized the red paint makeup box left by her mother, and only had time to say: "There is a ghost in the Pei family, and the account is in the red makeup."
On the first night after marrying into the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion, what awaited Lu Zhao was not the bridal chamber flowers and candles, but a resealed dowry box, half an old satin with a seal of approval, and the newlywed Pei Chengshao, who served in the Ministry of Punishment and only believed in evidence.
She is good at finding loopholes in accounts and rules, and he is used to guarding the truth with laws. From being wary of each other to using the marriage contract as an alliance, the two followed three internal accounts and gradually uncovered an old satin case involving the Duke's Palace, the Xie family and Jiangnan Weaving.
But the more he checked the account, the more Lu Zhao discovered that his mother's death eight years ago might have never been an accident.
If the price of finding out the truth is the overthrow of the family and the rebellion between husband and wife, do they still dare to find out?
Purpose: Everyone in the world needs to be decent, and there must be someone who holds the light for the truth.
