Chapter 337: The Lady of the Marquisate vs. the Younger Prince 80
Aunt Li was locked in the yard and was not allowed to go out. Ji Ronghao was an honest man without his own opinion. Without Aunt Li to interfere, he listened to Madam Ji and quickly set the wedding date.
Ji Yunhuan arranged his second brother's marriage in an orderly manner, and compiled a list of Ji Rongyue's dowry according to the custom of the eldest daughter in the mansion getting married. The Kong family was indeed a little poor, and the Ji family didn't mind giving a little more dowry.
The next day, Ji Yunhuan bid farewell to his mother.
Mrs. Ji leaned on the bed, holding her daughter's hand, her eyes full of reluctance, "Stay a few more days, your father asked you to stay, and the Liang family dare not say anything."
Ji Yunhuan made up an excuse, "My mother-in-law is seriously ill, I have to go back to see her. Don't worry, mother, I will be back soon."
Mrs. Ji had no doubt that a woman should live in her husband's home after marriage, and she would be satisfied if her daughter could come back and live with her occasionally.
As soon as Ji Yunhuan walked out of the yard, he ran into his father who was returning home.
The same reason doesn't work for Prime Minister Ji.
Ji Shoufu frowned deeply, "If you are seriously ill, go and get a doctor. What's the point of you going back? The Liang family is not peaceful today. Don't get involved. Women are always soft-hearted. Don't be deceived by them."
"Even if Liang Wanzhou ends up living on the streets, it has nothing to do with you. From now on, he will be the only one begging for your share. Don't be nice to him. You can only live a peaceful life if a villain like him respects and fears you."
Ji Yun laughed. Her father was more insightful than her mother. He never thought about letting the couple live in harmony. Liang Wanzhou only needed to occupy the title of husband so that she could live comfortably in the capital.
As long as she is not soft-hearted and does not take the initiative to use money to save Liang Wanzhou, the Fugui Casino will not dare to openly rob her dowry. Liang Wanzhou will be left with nothing, even her house. In the future, she will have the final say in the Liang family.
Although her father seemed serious and old-fashioned, he had actually always been protecting her. If her father had not died tragically in her previous life, Liang Wanzhou would not have dared to harm her.
She will never let Liang Wanzhou go!
Ji Yunhuan did not hide his hatred, "Dad, I will not be soft-hearted. Whether Liang Wanzhou is dead or alive, it is all his own fault. I must see it with my own eyes to put this matter to rest."
Prime Minister Ji was shocked. He had always been worried that his daughter was too kind. It would give her a good reputation, but it would also easily bring her trouble.
He heard murderous intent in his daughter's words. Perhaps his daughter was bolder than he had imagined, which surprised him greatly.
Ji Shoufu waved his hand and said with a smile: "You have always been smart, and your father has nothing to tell you. Go ahead and do whatever you want to do. Remember to take good care of yourself. No matter what happens, the Ji family will always be your home."
After his daughter left, Ji Shoufu summoned the head guard of the mansion and secretly instructed him, "Follow the eldest lady quietly and keep an eye on the Liang family. No matter how chaotic the Liang family is, you must protect the eldest lady."
In front of Liang’s house.
Dozens of people from Fugui Casino blocked the door, shouting at Liang Wanzhou to return the money.
Liang Wanzhou was at a loss, he couldn't even produce a penny. He went to Ji's house to find Ji Yunhuan, but was chased away by the servants before he even got close. He thought about hiding outside, but his close friends ignored him and even wanted to send him to Fugui Gambling House.
He didn't dare run around, so he could only go home and stay indoors even though there was deafening shouting outside.
After shouting for a while, Fei Ge and the others lost their patience. They broke down the door and rushed in, looting the Liang family from top to bottom, but could not find anything valuable.
Wu hid the house deeds and land deeds on her body, and refused to hand them over even though she was throwing a tantrum.
Brother Fei was not a good person, and this trick had no effect on him. He ordered his men to beat Wu up and snatch the house deed and land deeds from her.
Liang Wanzhou hid in a pile of horse hay but was soon pulled out. All the Liang family members, from masters to servants, were driven to the gate.
There was a seal on the door with the four big characters "Rich Gambling House" written on it. Such a big commotion naturally attracted many people to watch.
Brother Fei said loudly: "Liang Wanzhou owes money and doesn't pay it back. This house has already belonged to the Fugui Casino."
Wu used the same old trick again, crying and wailing, "You are forcing us, an orphan and a widow, to death! You even spared the women, children and the elderly, and you are not afraid of being struck by lightning. Everyone, please judge for yourself, how can you force people to death like this? You should at least leave us a way to live!"
Everyone has heard of the name of Fugui Casino, and no one knows who is the big shot behind it. Anyway, there is no gambling debt in the capital that Fugui Casino cannot collect. Whether the Liang family lives or dies has nothing to do with them, and no one speaks for the Liang family at all.
Brother Fei kicked Wu and said in disgust, "You old fool, you won't be able to sell for money. If you howl again, I'll cut off your tongue!"
No one knew what organs were broken by the kick. Wu fell to the ground, twitching, with blood flowing from her mouth.
All the servants of the Liang family who could leave had left, leaving only some slaves who had been sold by death indentures. Fei Ge picked and chose, but felt that he could not sell them for much.
The three concubines huddled together, shivering, their faces smeared with soot, wearing tattered clothes, trying their best to hide themselves among the servants, just hoping to get away with it.
Brother Fei punched Liang Wanzhou in the stomach, knocking him to the ground. "Don't say I didn't give you a chance. Two days have passed. Where's the money? Where's the money? Are you kidding me?"
Liang Wanzhou was shaking with pain, holding Fei Ge's trouser legs and begging, "Take it a little longer, wait for my wife to come back, I will definitely pay it back."
Brother Fei stepped on Liang Wanzhou's face and sneered, "I believed your lies! Miss Ji has already returned to her parents' home, and she doesn't care about your life or death at all! How dare you lie to me? Beat him up!"
Several thugs rushed over and surrounded Liang Wanzhou, beating him up with fists and kicks. Their attacks were very measured, causing people excruciating pain, but they would never beat anyone to death.
If a person dies, who can they ask for the debt?
Brother Fei estimated the price of the house and felt a little annoyed. "This house can only pay one-tenth of the gambling debt at most. The Liang family's side branches have long since fled to the countryside. All the family property has been sold, and there is no money to be collected."
"I've been in business for so many years, but this is the first time I've done a business at a loss. Don't beat him to death. Send him to do hard labor and you can earn some money. If someone comes to redeem him, you can make another fortune."
Liang Wanzhou cried and wailed, "Don't... don't sell me! Sell them. They are young and beautiful. Selling them to a brothel will definitely make money!"
Brother Fei looked in the direction Liang Wanzhou pointed and found that there were indeed three young women among the servants. He couldn't see their faces clearly, but if he looked closely, they had good figures.
The three concubines were taken out separately and knelt on the ground, terrified.
They somewhat regretted not following the Madam. Thinking carefully, the Madam had never harmed them. If they followed the Madam, even if they became slaves, they would have no worries about food and clothing.
"It's Madam's carriage. Madam is back!"
The concubines saw hope and ran towards the carriage, crying, "Madam, help us! The master is not a human being. He wants to sell us to a brothel. Please save us, madam."
