The Princess Consort Has A Lethal Destiny Chapter 1178 - Debt

Chapter 1178: Debt

When Shopkeeper Chang heard that, his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

Did the world not change too quickly? The joyous day had actually become the unlucky day for the Dai family?

Deceiving the Emperor and working with the enemy were two major crimes, right?! The entire family could not escape it, right?!

At this moment, the Dai family was truly crying.

It had to be said that the Dai family was also implicated by Second Uncle Dai alone. The other people were indeed innocent. The princess and even the Crown Prince had given him a day. The time seemed short, but in reality, he could do many things.

Those women and children in the family who were not important, those who could rest and those who could leave, were given away as much as possible, especially the newlyweds.

They wanted to protect their children, but they had no choice. The state had its own laws.

The imperial family could tolerate them sending away unrelated people, but those with the bloodline of the Dai family could not.

After all…

They were innocent, and the people in that area were even more innocent. They had to give an explanation.

Old Master Dai personally confessed to his crimes and went to court. After he left in the morning, he did not return and was directly sent to prison. Now, the officers and soldiers who were confiscating the property and arresting people had arrived…

Prince Rong had just been injured, so it was not suitable for him to move.

He was resting on his bed on one side, and when he saw the officers and soldiers arresting people on the other side, his heart was filled with anger and hatred. He was so anxious that he almost vomited blood.

When they were done arresting, the eunuch in the palace came looking for him.

Since Old Master Dai had confessed, how could there be anything else that he was hiding? Even the matter of Prince Rong coming to his door to threaten him was clearly stated. The Emperor initially did not believe it, but Old Master Dai had evidence. Furthermore, the Crown Prince was fast and brought many women into the palace. They were all people that Prince Rong had brought into the capital…

Among these women, some were innocent ordinary singers who were only used to solicit and seduce men. However, there were also a few… who were spies from Mount Rong.

On this first day, the Dai family could not see the light of day.

However, in the following days, the other families in the capital were also in chaos.

The Crown Prince acted swiftly. He took them in by force or willingly. One by one, they fell into his hands.

They could not compare to the Crown Prince’s status, so they could not resist. They initially thought that the Crown Prince was just l.u.s.tful, but they did not think that he wanted to take action!

Within the Meng family, a dark cloud hung over.

Meng Jifang knelt on the ground, his eyes black and blue.

Marquis Meng was so angry that he clutched his heart and almost fainted.

“A debt of 100,000 taels of silver… W-What have you done?! You were coaxed by those two women until you couldn’t see clearly, and you even learned to gamble?!” Marquis Meng was really angered to death.

His family was wealthy and did not lack money.

However, 100,000 taels of silver was not a small amount!

Meng Jifang himself was also stunned…

“Father, this debt can’t be counted, right? I was drunk at that time, who knew that the wine that woman gave me was so strong? I only drank two sips, and I already lost most of my consciousness…”

“You still dare to drink outside without knowledge?! That wine is Mount Rong’s strange wine, and there are quite a few medicinal herbs in it. You don’t even know that it would poison you to death!” Marquis Meng was even more furious that his son was actually so foolish and fell for the trap!

That kind of wine… was for people who could handle liquor very well. He would definitely fall after three cups!

Even if he was drunk, that was not right. It should be that after drinking this wine, he would be delirious. He would just stupidly agree and do whatever the others said!

“Then what should we do… Let’s raid his gambling den…” Meng Jifang stretched out his head and asked.

Even though Marquis Meng was reluctant, he still kicked him.

“Do you think I’m angry at the money?! Your two beauties have long disappeared without a trace. You said that they ran away. They were simply muddle-headed. Now, they’re in the Crown Prince’s hands!” Marquis Meng was anxious.
