“Madam, you can’t just say things like that. If you have to blame someone, blame your bad luck. Besides, gambling is risky. You were the one who insisted on placing the bet, so you can’t blame our gambling den!” Manager Xu seemed not to mind Huo Yunzhi saying this, as if he had said this to countless people before.

After all, in gambling, there are losses and wins.

Those who win are naturally overjoyed, but how many of those who lose can face it with equanimity?

"What do you know? You're all in cahoots, trying to trick me, aren't you? If you know what's good for you, hurry up and return my silver notes and land deeds to me!" Huo Yunzhi was displeased this time.

Pointing his finger at Manager Xu and Cheng Qingli, he threatened them.

"Consort Huo, are you a three-year-old child? Can't you afford to lose? If that's the case, then just now, I lost so much money, should I also ask them to give it back?" Cheng Qingli smiled and deliberately raised her voice so that everyone present could hear her.

Just now, quite a few people won money from Cheng Qingli.

Upon hearing that they wanted the silver back, the crowd became unhappy.

"You're a grown adult, no one forced you to come to Jubaolou by the neck, right? Why are you unhappy just because you lost?"

"Exactly, when I saw you beat that girl just now, weren't you pretty arrogant?"

"Whose wife is this? Even a three-year-old knows this principle, how come she doesn't understand it?"

"In my opinion, she just feels unhappy because she lost. If she had won today, do you think she would have returned the young lady's things to her?" Liu San said sarcastically to Huo Yunzhi.

Seeing so many men surrounding her and chattering away, Fangcao quickly grabbed Huo Yunzhi's sleeve and said, "Consort, let's hurry back to the manor. The Princess told you not to cause trouble!"

"Shut up! If you want to go back, go back yourself. Don't try to intimidate me with the title of Princess!" Huo Yunzhi, who was already feeling quite uncomfortable, became even angrier after hearing Fangcao's words.

princess?

She's just an old woman.

One day, she will make Prince Lan Huai divorce her.

"But..." Fangcao had never seen such a scene before.

She desperately wanted to escape from here, but her master showed no intention of leaving at all.

"Go and search them. Take back my silver notes and land deeds!" Huo Yunzhi was still unable to recognize the reality before her. Instead, she ordered Fangcao to go to Cheng Qingli and retrieve her belongings.

“Madam, there’s no going back on our rules at Jubaolou.” Manager Xu stepped in front of Cheng Qingli upon hearing this.

The men who had gathered around her all looked at Huo Yunzhi with hostility.

"Consort Huo, I never expected you to be such a sore loser. Oh dear, what do you think Prince Lan Huai would do if he found out about this?" Cheng Qingli said with a smile as she looked at Huo Yunzhi.

Manager Xu watched from the side, sighing and rubbing his forehead. This little brat, she really knows how to bring up the most sensitive topics.

The person in front of me was in a fit of anger, yet he still brought up Prince Lanhuai to make an issue of the matter.

Is he afraid she won't have enough breath?

"Miss Cheng, stop bringing up the Prince. If my Prince knew you stole my things, do you think he would let you off? Don't forget, my Prince is the Emperor's uncle. If I were to say that your behavior is disrespectful to the imperial family, that would be fair, wouldn't it?" Huo Yunzhi felt that Prince Lan Huai must be a very powerful figure in the capital.

As long as she invokes the name of Prince Lanhuai, these people won't dare to do anything to her.

Not to mention getting back her silver notes and land deeds, even getting Cheng Qingli to obediently hand over Qin Lou would be a piece of cake.

"Consort Huo, are you serious about what you're saying?" Cheng Qingli was almost driven to tears by the stupidity of the person in front of her.

Where on earth did Prince Lanhuai find such a stupid thing to be his concubine?

When Prince Lan Huai came to the Cheng family yesterday, he was all respectful and dared not be presumptuous. Why did he change his attitude today?
