"Consort, let's hurry back to the manor." Fangcao tugged at Huo Yunzhi's sleeve with some concern, secretly thinking that something was wrong.

You should know that she had heard about Miss Cheng's playful nature.

In the capital, everyone was very tolerant of Miss Cheng because of the Empress.

However, this might not be the case for his own concubine.

Most importantly, the princess instructed them not to cause trouble before they left.

"If you're scared, go back yourself!" Huo Yunzhi said impatiently, and then followed behind Cheng Qingli.

Fangcao could only follow, praying in her heart that nothing bad would happen.

Cheng Qingli led the people to the entrance of Jubaolou, the largest gambling den in the capital.

"Jubaolou? What kind of place is this?" Huo Yunzhi looked at Cheng Qingli in confusion.

"This place is naturally a good place!" Cheng Qingli raised the corner of her mouth. This was naturally a gambling den, and she also knew that the person behind this gambling den was her high and mighty brother-in-law.

This gambling den never cheats the poor; those who do are the most heinous criminals.

She occasionally comes here to gamble a little, and she's quite lucky at it.

Since she brought Huo Yunzhi here today only because Huo Yunzhi insulted her with money, she has to return the favor.

"Gambling dens?" Huo Yunzhi frowned. She didn't understand. The Cheng family was a prominent family in the capital. How could their daughter like to visit gambling dens?

"What, scared?" Cheng Qingli asked provocatively from the side.

"Consort, let's go back." Fangcao turned pale with fright when she heard that this was a gambling den; this was not a place for them.

If the prince and princess found out, they would probably beat her to death.

After all, she was a servant born into the royal household. If she failed to persuade her master, it was the servants who would suffer the most.

"Who said I'm afraid to go? Does that mean if I go with you, you'll give me Qinlou?" Huo Yunzhi asked, looking at Cheng Qingli.

"If you can win more than me today, Qin Lou will be yours for free." Cheng Qingli said with a teasing smile.

After saying that, she went straight into the Treasure Pavilion.

"Consort, we really can't go there!" Fangcao was almost in tears. Jubao Tower was the largest gambling den in the capital. If something really happened to the Consort inside, she wouldn't be able to survive either.

"Enough with the nonsense!" Although Huo Yunzhi didn't want to go into the gambling den, she knew that nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Besides, three thousand taels was something Miss Cheng didn't want. She would naturally be more than happy to take over Qinlou for free.

Thinking of this, Huo Yunzhi entered Jubao Tower with a smug look on her face.

"Madam, hello. May I ask what you would like to do?" As soon as Huo Yunzhi entered, a servant stepped forward to ask ingratiatingly.

At this moment, inside the Jubao Tower, a mixed bag of people, an unpleasant odor wafted to Huo Yunzhi's nose and mouth, and she fanned herself impatiently.

Only then did they search everywhere for Cheng Qingli's figure.

"Madam, where would you like to go? I can take you there." The servant said with a smile when he saw that the well-dressed lady seemed to be looking for something.

He wondered to himself, "Could it be that someone's lady has come to Jubaolou?"

Such things are not uncommon.

After all, some men are addicted to gambling here, and it's common for them to stay away from home for days on end.

Some young wives would come here looking for their husbands.

On the other side, Cheng Qingli was talking to the steward with her head down.

“Miss, our Jubaolou is a legitimate gambling establishment,” the manager said with a displeased expression.

He wondered to himself, "Could it be that their people revealed their secret to Miss Cheng at some point?"
