The night passed quickly.

It was bright.

Shuntian Inn was surrounded by a group of imperial guards, led by Crown Prince Murong Wenshuo.

Today he was wearing a dark suit, and his handsome face was filled with anger. He heard last night that more than 8 million taels of silver disappeared from the casino, and he was so angry that he couldn't sleep all night. He led people to search all night, but found nothing.

Now he happened to find Shuntian Inn. He walked into the inn and went up to Muxi's room. What he saw was three men lying on a big bed together, and the room was filled with the smell of alcohol.

After a round of inspection, he walked into the inner room, kicked the door open, and found that it was bolted. Humph, this woman still has some dignity and is not as bad as he imagined.

Fang Ning took out a dagger, picked open the bolt on the door, and found An Muxi lying on the bed like a dead dog.

Murong Wenshuo walked into the room and opened the cabinet, which was filled with An Muxi's spare clothes, including skirts and men's clothes.

Fang Zhong lifted the bed sheet, lay on the ground and took a look, only to find that it was empty!

Mu Xi turned over and faced the prince's angry face. He sat up suddenly, feeling dizzy and slapping his head.

"Your Highness, what do you mean by breaking into my boudoir so early in the morning and ruining my reputation?" I have always known that there would be officials checking the room, but I didn't expect it to happen so soon!

Murong Wenshuo stared at An Muxi.

"Miss An, do you still have a good reputation? Did you go to Wande Casino last night?" He looked at her with a scrutinizing look.

"Yes, what happened? There was a big fire there. I wonder if any of your Highness's people were burned to death?" He said with a lazy look.

The prince was a little angry and grabbed Mu Xi's wrist, "It was you who threw out the loose change last night, causing everyone to scramble for it, right?" There was a harshness and a sinisterness in his unfriendly tone.

"What are you doing? We have no relationship anymore, don't make any moves."

Mu Xi pulled back his arm fiercely and tugged at his robe.

"I didn't throw it out. Someone stole the silver and I went to grab it, but the silver accidentally flew out. So, Your Highness, have you got the silver back for me?"

Murong Wenshuo raised his eyebrows slightly, as if looking at a dead person:

"An Muxi, you won't be so proud for long. You'll soon start crying ugly. Come, arrest all four people here and send them to jail to await trial!" After saying that, he strode out of the room.

Fang Ning and Fang Zhong immediately stepped forward and made a gesture of invitation.

"What right do you have to arrest people? Isn't your casino a place for people to have fun and have fun?"

Mu Xi shouted angrily that this Murong Wenshuo was simply a pervert. Humph, how could he become the crown prince when he was not worthy of the position!

Fang Ning grabbed Mu Xi's arm and said, "Miss An, all the people involved in the case have been arrested and thrown into prison, awaiting investigation by the Dali Temple!"

"Take your claws away. Do you know that the prince is about to marry An Murou into the palace? Who am I? The prince's aunt!"

After saying this, Mu Xi felt like he was always entangled with this prince.

Fang Ning put down his arms. He realized that Mu Xi was right. After all, they were the Crown Princess's family.

Mu Xi came to the closet and packed all the clothes and daily necessities inside. Finally, she even packed the quilt and mattress on the bed and held them in her arms. She didn't know how long she would stay in there this time, and the things in the cell were terribly dirty. Seeing the perverted look in the prince's eyes, it seemed that he wanted to torture her to death. She took the clothes with her first to prevent any trouble.

When he came outside, he found that Mu Zili, Sun Baiwan and Zeng Xianwen were all being escorted towards the prison. The three of them, like himself, were drunk.

Turning his head, an ominous creature appeared in front of him. He saw Sun Yaozong's eyes were dark and he looked exhausted as if he had not slept all night. He and the prince had bitter faces and were talking about something.

The prince gave him a questioning look, Mu Xi glared back fiercely and walked forward. There was no evidence, what could he do to him? Slowly, his pawn shop, food shop, and tavern were all stolen by him. Let's see how he can maintain his connections and ascend the throne. Just cheat! !

~Prison~

There are two rows of dark and narrow cells, with walls on all four sides. Each cell has only one door and one window, and a faint light shines through the narrow window.

The mud-plastered walls were covered with mottled stains and bloodstains, the damp dirt floor was uneven, a layer of shaggy straw was haphazardly laid in every corner of the cell, and the air was filled with a pungent smell of mold.

The first few cells held a large group of last night's gamblers and ordinary people who were trying to loot money.

Mu Xi was pushed into the innermost solitary cell, while Mu Zilie, Zeng Xianwen and Sun Baiwan were imprisoned diagonally opposite.

The three of them looked at Mu Xi who walked in with a smile.

Mu Zili said jokingly:

"Miss An has gained a new bad reputation. She was originally uneducated and only cared about eating, drinking and gambling. Now she is in jail again. Haha!"

"Look, she brought in the quilt and mattress. Does she plan to live here permanently?"

"Hahaha, I guess she wants to experience the happy life here!"

Mu Xi ignored the merciless ridicule of his three friends. They have been so foul-mouthed for so many years. Only Sun Yaozong spoke nicely, but his character was questionable.

I put the bedding in my arms on the straw and looked around. I found that it was no different from other cells. The walls were made of stone, and there was a toilet in the corner without even a lid. Damn, it must stink!

Suddenly, a heavy sound of footsteps walked into the cramped cell, and everyone almost simultaneously came to the gate and looked out.

Mu Xi also looked towards the aisle.

I saw an old general in armor and with gray hair walking in with great speed, and two jailers followed him with nods and bows:

"General Mu, the young master is here and in good spirits."

The old general was over fifty years old, and he looked majestic in his armor. His weathered face was full of stories, and he looked like a tough guy who had experienced the battlefield.

"Grandpa, are you bringing Zili home?"

Mu Zili stretched out his arms and shouted with joy, "Yesterday Zili did nothing but gamble twice and lost ten taels of silver, and then they arrested us."

"Where did you get the money? Didn't I say I would deduct half a year's salary from you?"

The old general's voice was as loud as a thunder, and he was intimidating without even being angry.

Mu Zili smiled awkwardly, "Mu Xi gave it to me." He looked at Mu Xi.

General Mu glanced at An Muxi, and the coldness in his eyes became even heavier. A girl who has not learned her lesson hangs out with a bunch of boys every day, going to casinos and brothels, doing everything.

After receiving the super strong signal, Mu Xi's eyes shrank. He felt that the old general's gaze was like a knife, scratching his face painfully. He couldn't help but touch his cheek, feeling numb and tingling.
