Zhao Fei had been a beggar for several years, so it went without saying that he was eloquent.
Later, he became Ji Youran’s disciple and earned the respect of many maids and young servants at the Ji Mansion. Additionally, he was strangely lucky. Ji Youran quite liked him and, as such, taught him diligently. That was why he knew a lot.
The reason he chose this particular time to win back his family’s property deeds was entirely because everyone from the Ji Mansion had gone to Qixia Temple.
Whether he succeeded or failed, he believed word of it wouldn’t reach the Ji Family’s ears.
So, he came. However, he hadn’t expected the people at the Gambling House to be so shameless. After they beat him up and threw him out, he unexpectedly ran into the Princess and the Seventh Prince!
Hearing Zhao Fei’s words, Xiaosuisui grew very angry. She slapped the table and was about to roar when she heard Dugu, who was beside her, speak angrily.
"What nonsense! These bastards are completely out of line. If they can’t afford to lose, why open a Gambling House? They won’t even give five hundred Two of silver. Who would dare to come and gamble here in the future?"
Xiaosuisui’s anger... Well, it seemed she was at a loss for words.
Dugu’s comments and mockery attracted the attention of the Gambling House’s strongmen.
"What are you looking at? Was I wrong? Look at how you’ve beaten this child. His body is bruised blue and purple. Luckily, his injuries are minor. If anything serious had happened to him..."
"Are you deliberately looking for trouble? Are you playing or not? If you’re not playing, then get out!"
Several strongmen surrounded Dugu and yelled at him.
Who was Dugu? He was a military officer. Could he possibly let someone rebuke him so easily?
So, he silently drew his saber. "Say that again!"
"What? You want to fight?"
Seeing him draw his saber, the strongmen thought he was bluffing and immediately provoked him. "If you’re so capable, why don’t you strike me down?"
Dugu, in fact, did raise his sword.
Ji Youzhi grabbed his shoulder and said, "Stop making a scene. Let our Suisui play a few rounds and win some money for her adoptive father to aid Bai Xin!"
At his words, Xiaosuisui clapped her hands. "Win money, win money! Win all the money from the Gambling House to save the people!"
Hearing this, Dugu couldn’t help but grind his teeth. Very reluctantly, he sheathed his saber. "You said it! You’d better win all their money!"
Dugu muttered, adept at saving face, "I’m doing this for my precious Xiaosuisui. Today, I just want her to have a good time!"
Hearing this, Xiaosuisui grinned from ear to ear. "Thank you, Uncle Dugu!"
Instantly, Dugu was overjoyed, his face lighting up with an excited expression, like a big boy who’d just received candy!
"Good girl, call me that again!"
With a SNAP, Ji Youzhi slapped his shoulder. "Move aside! Can’t you see our precious one is about to roll the dice?"
As Ji Youzhi spoke, he immediately swept away more than half of the banknotes in front of Xiaosuisui.
Seeing this, Han Qianshou quickly demanded, "What are you doing taking the banknotes? What? Are you afraid of losing this round, so you’re not playing anymore?"
Ji Youzhi snorted. "Hmph! Your property deeds are worth two hundred Two at most. My precious one here has thousands of Two. If I didn’t help her put some aside, could you even raise the stakes?"
As soon as Ji Youzhi said this, Han Qianshou’s face turned the color of a pig’s liver.
"You... you can hold onto them for now. It will all be mine soon."
