"What kind of prize do you want?" Fourth Master asked with a smile, seeing Lanqin's determined look.

"One thousand taels of silver!" Lanqin said greedily.

"When did Consort become so greedy?" the Fourth Prince teased deliberately.

“Gambling? Gambling with money is more interesting,” Lanqin said playfully.

Fourth Master nodded, and the two began to focus on watching two crickets preparing to fight in the hunting grounds. Lanqin had only read about cricket fighting in books before, but now she was going to watch it in person, and even fight with Fourth Master herself. This made Lanqin so happy that she almost shouted with joy.

"Gentlemen, let's begin!" the waiter said, and then blew a whistle.

Lanqin and Fourth Master each occupied one side, watching their respective crickets begin to "show off." The tiger girl that Lanqin had chosen looked quite smug, with its wings flapping loudly, while Xiaoyou always retreated to a corner of the enclosure, seemingly trying to avoid the tiger girl's sharp edge.

Suddenly, Tiger Girl flapped her wings and pounced towards Xiao You. The pounce was fierce; she bit Xiao You's left wing.

"Wow, Tiger Girl is really amazing, keep it up!" Lanqin suddenly felt hot and wished she could roll up her sleeves and shout "Go Tiger Girl!" to the cricket she had chosen.

Seeing Lanqin so happy, Fourth Master smiled and said, "Your Tiger Girl is really fierce. Xiaoyou is almost driven to the point where she has nowhere to hide."

Lanqin glanced at Fourth Master triumphantly and said, "Didn't you say before that you'd played with crickets before? Why did you choose such a small one?"

Fourth Master said, "Just because someone looks big doesn't necessarily mean they're good. Let's wait and see."

Lanqin disagreed, thinking that a taller person with a louder voice was naturally stronger than a shorter person with a weaker voice.

As it turned out, Tiger Girl did not disappoint Lanqin's expectations, constantly cornering Xiaoyou. After a few minutes, Tiger Girl became more and more aggressive, and Xiaoyou could only retreat and dodge.

"Go! Go!" Lanqin got really into it and stopped caring about her image, just like the people outside who were shouting at the little bugs.

Tiger Girl seemed to grow stronger with each battle, and the frequency of her wingbeats grew louder and louder.

"Oh, this gentleman's crickets are incredibly patient." A vulgar yet pleasant voice came from the Fourth Master's side.

Lanqin looked up and saw that it was the woman who had shown favor to the Fourth Master, standing behind him with a fruit platter.

"Sir, these are freshly served grapes. Please try them. I've already washed them." The woman's face was radiant, her lips as red as peonies, and her eyes, painted in a phoenix-like style, were watery and captivating as she gazed affectionately at the Fourth Master's back.

Lanqin found this woman ridiculous. Did she completely think she was dead? She actually started flirting with Fourth Master right in front of her. She felt both angry and amused.

"Hey, he doesn't like grapes. I do, bring them to me!" Lanqin glared at the woman. Once I'll just assume it's a professional habit, but if I don't react after two times, she'll really think I'm dead!

Seeing Lanqin's impolite tone as she was being ordered around, the woman's face turned cold, and she said, "It is the servants who serve the lady, not the lady. If you want to eat grapes, tell the servant outside to get them."

Lanqin nearly collapsed. Such a place existed! The servants for men and women were even separated, and their attitude towards her was clearly terrible. Looking at the woman's disdainful gaze, Lanqin gradually understood. What did she take her for?

Lanqin glared at Fourth Master with annoyance, only to see that despicable man still laughing.

"I want you to come and serve me, so what?" Lanqin glared at Fourth Master, who looked completely innocent, then touched his nose and ignored the woman behind him.

Seeing that the Fourth Master remained silent while Lanqin spoke in such a tone, the woman turned around and placed the fruit plate on a high table, saying, "Miss, if you want to eat, please help yourself."

After saying that, she turned to the Fourth Master and said, "Sir, let me brew you a cup of the finest Da Hong Pao tea."

Fourth Master nodded this time, but there was clearly a mocking smile on his lips.

Lanqin ignored Fourth Master and said to her tiger cub, "Tiger cub, bite it! Don't give it any chance to breathe, take it down in one go!"

Lanqin emphasized the word "it" very heavily, seemingly hinting at something about the fourth!

"It was clearly that woman who took the initiative to flatter me, not the master. Why are you taking your anger out on the master's cricket?" Fourth Master said in a teasing tone.

Lanqin snorted. Although she knew that made sense, she had just been humiliated by that woman and had nowhere else to vent her anger, so this was the only way. She said, "Later, when I win some money, I'll give a round of tips in front of her, and she won't get any! Humph!"

Fourth Master finally couldn't help but laugh and said, "Xiao You, if you don't put in some effort, Tiger Girl is going to ride on your neck."

Whether it was Fourth Master's words or not, the situation on the field seemed to be turning around little by little. Tiger Girl, who was full of fighting spirit just now, seemed to have exhausted her strength and was no longer as fierce as she had been at the beginning.
