Chapter 50
The courtyard returned to calm, Meng Liangchen looked at the mess in the courtyard, and looked at Shi Niang with some distress.
"Ten Niang, how are you? Do you want to see the doctor?"
Ten Niang shook her head, with a trace of bitterness on her face: "I'm fine, Master, thank you for today's matter."
Meng Liangchen shook his head and said, "You're welcome, it's just that so many drinks have been smashed, what a pity."
These wines were brewed by Shi Niang through untold hardships. I don’t know how much was lost in this smashing. It will take time, effort and cost to brew again. I don’t know what Shi Niang will rely on to make a living during this period of time.
Only now did Shi Niang's eye sockets turn red gradually, and she, who was always strong, had a sore nose and was speechless.
Tian Jiao looked on and felt sorry for Shi Niang: "How much money does your man owe them! Look at how rampant they are!"
Ten Niang sniffed, lowered her head and said: "Don't listen to their nonsense just now, there is not so much money at all, only 500 taels, I have already paid back 100 taels, and I can pay back the rest slowly , it’s just that they have taken a fancy to our family’s land, and they still have to make things difficult for them on purpose!”
Ten Niang hesitated to speak, as if she still had something to hide.
Tian Jiao stomped her feet: "It's really too bad, it's too deceitful!"
Meng Liangchen frowned: "Do you know who the boss behind the casino is?"
If they had a strong backing, they would not dare to be so arrogant even if they thought about it.
Shi Niang shook her head: "I only know that it is a member of the chamber of commerce, and it seems to be an official. I don't know who it is."
Chamber of Commerce people...
Anyway, I should know by noon today.
Meng Liangchen comforted: "It's okay, I also have a position in the chamber of commerce, I will meet him at noon today, no matter who he is, he should give me some favor."
Ten Niang looked at her gratefully: "Thank you, my boss, if it wasn't for you today, I'm afraid it would be..."
Meng Liangchen patted her on the shoulder and looked at the mess in the yard: "I'll ask Tian Yu and the others to clean it up for you. You can help the old man go in and rest. We'll talk about everything when we meet someone at noon today."
At noon, Meng Liangchen and Shi Niang ordered food in advance and waited for people to come, but Meng Liangchen was very surprised by the people who opened the door and entered.
The person who came was actually the middle-aged fat old man she met when she first went to the chamber of commerce to apply for membership some time ago!
"It turns out that the boss of the casino is you, senior."
The fat old man had a bit of arrogance on his face, he stood on the spot and looked at Meng Liangchen, a little surprised: "Is it really the old man you, a little girl, dated?"
Meng Liangchen nodded and stood up: "If you are the owner of the casino, then I'm making an appointment with you, senior, please take a seat."
The old man was also polite, walked over and sat opposite the two of them.
Meng Liangchen also sat down with Shi Niang, and said straight to the point: "Senior, don't talk nonsense, you should also know the purpose of inviting you here today, it is for the money that Shi Niang's family owes you to the gambling house."
The old man didn't rush to speak, but glanced at Shi Niang, with an inexplicable look in his eyes.
"Can you afford that much money?"
His words were addressed to Shi Niang, and the words were full of contempt, and there was a faint hint of determination to win.
There was a hint of embarrassment on Shi Niang's face, she shook her head slightly: "No, I can't."
After finishing speaking, he lowered his head. The fat old man seemed to have expected it, and a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"The day to repay the money has come. According to the rules, you should pay back the principal with interest. If you still can't pay, you will have to use your house as collateral, but your two ruined houses are not worth much money."
As he spoke, he looked at Shi Niang with eyes that were gradually deepening in desire, and continued: "Although you are old and fading, you still have a bit of beauty anyway, so I will reluctantly accept you and let you use yourself to pay off the debt. I will be a concubine in my house, eat and drink with my master, and the money owed before can also be written off."
Hearing this, Meng Liangchen raised his eyebrows. The old man turned out to be attracted to Shi Niang, and because of this doctrine, it must be because of the old man that Shi Niang's men lost money in the gambling shop and were arrested and imprisoned.
"Senior, you are old, I respect your seniors, but you can't be disrespectful."
Meng Liangchen looked at the fat old man with a smile on his face. This old man's surname was Pan. He had prejudiced against women when he was in the chamber of commerce. Now it seems that he is more than just prejudiced.
When old man Pan heard this, his face immediately changed, and he stared straight at Meng Liangchen: "Little girl, what did you say?!"
Meng Liangchen smiled, looking very well-behaved, but what he said made old man Pan almost vomit blood in anger.
"I said that you are disrespectful to the old, you want to eat young grass when you are old and faded, and the toad wants to eat swan meat!"
This old man looks old enough to be her grandfather, and he is more than a little older than Shi Niang!
Old Man Pan's face turned green with anger, he reached out and slapped the table vigorously, then stood up, pointed at Meng Liangchen and scolded: "Stinky girl, do you know what you are talking about, do you know who you are talking to!"
Shi Niang was so frightened that her expression changed, and she hurriedly reached out to grab Meng Liangchen's clothes: "Boss, forget it."
Meng Liangchen sat firmly on the spot, she didn't care who was behind old man Pan, as long as today's matter is settled quickly, it's fine, if not...
Old Man Pan's complexion became more and more ugly. He stood on the spot, squinted his eyes behind his hands and looked at Meng Liangchen.
"Girl, the old man naturally knows that your father is Meng De, but did you not inquire about the identity of the old man?" He continued with a look of arrogance on his face after he finished speaking: "The old man is the uncle of the dynasty. ! You little girl has thought it through!"
Meng Liangchen's eyes widened in surprise. Is this old man the empress's father?Mu Ze's grandfather? !Does the empress know that she has such a father! !
Ten Niang also stood up in a panic, not knowing what to do.
At this moment, the door of the private room was pushed open from the outside, and a person walked in.
"Oh? How does this general not know that the Duke is here today?"
Meng Liangchen turned his head in surprise, and saw his father walking in from the door.
"father!"
Meng De walked in and nodded to Meng Liangchen, then stood beside Meng Liangchen and looked at old man Pan.
"Oh, so it's Master Pan."
He happened to pass by "Judian Ke" when he came back from court today. He wanted to come over to see his good daughter's business, but unexpectedly ran into someone bullying his daughter!
It seemed that Meng De recognized Old Man Pan, and Old Man Pan's complexion instantly became unsightly, and the arrogance and aggressiveness just now also became weaker in an instant.
"General Meng, this is your daughter, right? She should be disciplined! A girl doll, don't come out and embarrass the general's mansion!"
