Chapter 167: Just a Kiss

Ji Xinhe's eyes flickered slightly: "The Wang family lost even the title of royal merchant?"

She did predict the terror of infuriating the Emperor, but she didn't expect him to be so heartless. After all, they had been royal merchants for over ten years. There should be some gratitude for that. But now, because of a minor mistake with the wine, they were being punished so harshly?

Shopkeeper Wu lowered his voice: "The matters of the imperial court are very complex, not as simple as you think. The emperor has been displeased with the Wang family, and they committed a crime against the emperor at such a crucial time. How would the emperor remember their past relationship? The late emperor might have had feelings for the Wang family, don't forget the current emperor has only been on the throne for half a year!"

Ji Xinhe understood now and nodded: "I see."

So her tarnishing the Wang family this time was just adding fuel to the fire?
