Chapter 298: Rebirth of the Son-in-law (7)
Ning Ning watched coldly and said that Qi Menglai was making trouble.
Ning Rao couldn't stand it anymore and asked him what was wrong. He had to tell the truth.
Qi Menglai didn't even care whether there were servants in the room, and just knelt down in front of her.
"Ms. sir, what are you doing?"
"Madam, please save my aunt!"
"What happened to your aunt?"
"She bought a large amount of goods, but she couldn't sell them. She also borrowed a large amount of money at interest, and now she can't pay it back. Those people can do anything. The last time I went to see her, she was really pitiful. If no one saves them, they will die!"
"How much did they borrow?"
"It should be at least a few hundred thousand taels."
"so much?"
Ning Rao shook her head. "I don't have that much money on hand. If I want to use such a large amount of money, I have to ask my father for permission. But I'm afraid my father won't agree."
"If you go and tell him, will he still refuse?"
"Husband, in business, there are gains and losses. How can you not even have this awareness? She even borrowed money at interest to buy goods. Aunt is so inconsiderate. If she really can't make ends meet, we can help her, but it's really unacceptable to pay off her debts."
"That's my aunt and my cousin, not anyone else. Do you value money more than relatives and human lives?!"
Qi Menglai could no longer hold back his emotions and started to retort, as if Ning Rao was such an unkind person.
Ning Rao was somewhat unhappy and even confused.
"You and your aunt were not that close in the past, why are you so worried about her all of a sudden? There are so many people doing business, if everyone gets worried when someone owes money, then we won't have anything to do all day. Or is your aunt's debt... related to you?"
Qi Menglai jumped up as if he was pricked by a needle. "What nonsense are you talking about? I don't ask about business matters, how can it have anything to do with me! It's just that they are orphans and widows and are so pitiful that I wanted to do something for them. I didn't expect you to be so cold-blooded!"
What he said was consistent with his usual style, but his behavior did not seem to be unrelated to this.
Ning Rao looked at him suspiciously and was about to say something when suddenly a maid came to report that Song Panniang and Meng Faner had arrived!
Qi Menglai was anxious, "Quickly stop them, don't let them in!"
Unfortunately, it was too late. The two of them didn’t even think of waiting for the owner’s consent. They just registered and rushed in on their own!
"Qi Menglai! Give me back my money! You have harmed my mother and me so badly, and you want to just walk away? Dream on!"
Qi Menglai's eyes went dark. Oh no, his aunt finally came to make trouble.
That day he went out to tell Song Panniang the "bad news", and Song Panniang fainted immediately. After waking up and inquiring about the matter, she found that things were indeed as Qi Menglai said, and the batch of Biluosha was lost.
Biluosha is indeed a good thing, but it is expensive. Apart from the royal family, not many people in the world can afford it. Instead, one has to spend a lot of money to preserve it.
Therefore, it was completely impossible for Song Panniang to sell them in a short period of time to pay off her debts.
However, the interest on loan is calculated every day.
Song Panniang immediately became anxious and grabbed Qi Menglai to ask him for an explanation. She even hit him twice in anger.
What can Qi Menglai say?
He had lost all the money he had. He wanted to ignore Song Panniang, but was afraid that she would go to the Ning family and make trouble. He could only comfort them and tell them that he would find a way to help them pay back the money when he returned.
But what can he do?
The inflow and outflow of such a large amount of money could not possibly not go through Ning Ning, and no matter how you think about it, Ning Ning would never agree.
So he could only hide in Ning's house and dared not go out, but he could not prevent others from breaking in.
Song Panniang really had no choice. Those people who loaned money were not easy to deal with!
They were orphans and widows, and there was really no way to solve the problem. They felt so angry when they mentioned Qi Meng that they could only ask him for an explanation!
Qi Menglai was also anxious. "Aunt, you are being unreasonable. I did pass on the news to you, but you didn't make the decision yourself. Why are you blaming me? I have already lost my money. Who can I complain to?"
He turned to coax Ning Rao, "My wife, please don't blame me. I was afraid that my father would dislike me, so I wanted to make money to make him look at me differently. When I heard about Biluosha, I found my aunt and wanted to do business with her, but I didn't expect to lose everything!"
Song Panniang lost all her property, so he could only continue to hold on to Ning Rao.
But how could Song Panniang let him have his wish? She was a bit fierce by nature. She got so angry that she grabbed Qi Menglai and started scratching and hitting him, and her mouth was as busy as a jumping bean.
"Bah! You are a beast in human form! You said you wanted to get rid of the Ning family, so you asked me to cooperate with you. You also said that you would continue to pass on information to me in the future and take over all the business of the Ning family! Are you talking nonsense?"
"Ouch!"
Qi Menglai tried his best to protect his head and face, but he still had to take a break to explain to Ning Rao, "My dear, please don't believe her. She just wants me to help her pay back the money so that she can ruin my reputation. If you don't believe me, ask her. Can she produce evidence?"
There was no evidence for something that was discussed in private. Song Panniang cursed even more harshly, and her subordinates fought to the death. Meng Faner looked at her beloved cousin and cried her heart out!
At this moment, Ning Ning and his men arrived. "If you want to quarrel, go outside and quarrel. What do you think of my place?"
Seeing him coming, Song Panniang stopped and said, "You don't know, your son-in-law is really a ruthless person. I will definitely settle accounts with him!"
Ning Ning, "How could I not know how ruthless he is! It just so happens that I also have a score to settle with him!"
As he said this, he waved his hand, and the guards brought a man over, who turned out to be the boatman!
When Qi Menglai saw this, he was so frightened that he almost fainted. "Why are you here? Oh, no, who are you?!"
Ning Ning, "It's too late to pretend not to know him anymore. I have been looking for him these days. As expected, my efforts paid off and I finally caught him."
Qi Menglai had been busy these days and almost forgot about the boatman. However, he didn't expect Ning Ning had not forgotten him and dug deep into the ground to catch him.
"Rao'er, he has confessed. What Aunt Liu said was true. It turned out that Qi Menglai, that beast, bribed him to kill me!"
"What?! How dare you harm my father, you beast!"
Ning Rao became anxious and rushed over to hit Qi Meng!
Qi Menglai was busy trying to explain himself, but unfortunately no one listened to him. Ning Ning directly ordered people to escort him to the yamen.
Aunt Liu's testimony from last time is still there, plus the current witnesses and the physical evidence of him bribing the boatman. In short, he has no way to deny it this time, so he was taken to prison and sentenced to death!
Before the execution, Ning Rao wrote a letter of divorce, broke off the marriage with him, and even spat at him a few times!
Song Panniang and Meng Faner came to make trouble, hoping that the Ning family would give them a hand out of face. However, they ended up witnessing a murder case, and it was impossible for the Ning family to care about them.
Their family property was not enough to pay back the loan, so the loan sharks would take them to brothels to pay off their debts.
They refused and simply hanged themselves with a rope.
Ning Rao said that she would never be sad for someone like Qi Menglai. She focused all her attention on business and became more and more adept at it. Ning Ning felt relieved, so she returned her body to its original self and left.
