The 接続詞(せつぞくし) (conjunction)
それに is regularly considered to be one word in Japanese, but is more correctly just a combination of the 代名詞(だいめいし) (substitute noun)
それ, and the 格助詞(かくじょし) (case-marking particle)
に.
The thing that
それ is ‘substituting’ for is the entire clause/sentence that came before it, while
に highlights that extra information is about to be added. In this way, it translates to ‘and to that’, or ‘and on that’, where ‘that’ is the previous information. Often, it is translated simply as ‘moreover’, ‘in addition’, or ‘and’.
-
それに彼(かれ)は家事(かじ)もしないんでしょう?
In addition, he doesn't do house chores either, right?
-
リサの会社(かいしゃ)には残業(ざんぎょう)がない。それに給料(きゅうりょう)もいい。
Lisa’s company doesn't have overtime work. What’s more, her salary is good too.
Because
それに is ‘adding’ information with
に, the (B) information itself must be something that would logically happen ‘in addition to (A)’, or ‘as a result of (A)’. Therefore,
それに will highlight something that has either all positive, or all negative connotations. Never both.
