Chapter 184 Secrets

"Mr. Huang, you have been persuading my elder sister to marry the Emperor of Northern Zhou, which means you want to separate my elder sister from me. I cannot go anywhere without the permission of the Emperor of Southern Yan, let alone Northern Zhou. Therefore, I cannot give you these ten thousand taels of gold." Zhu Huaizhen sighed helplessly.

Then, Zhu Huaizhen recounted with great interest the secret of the eldest son of the Jiangxia Huang family, who had been the only heir for nine generations.

It is said to be a secret, but in fact it is well known to everyone.

The eldest son of the Jiangxia Huang family, who has been the only heir for nine generations, is a frequent visitor to the casino.

In order to make his eldest son, who had been the only heir for nine generations, quit gambling, the head of the Jiangxia Huang family actually promoted the laws of Southern Chu to prohibit gambling in groups and impose heavy penalties on violators.

During that period, anyone in Jiangcheng who played Mahjong would be caught and thrown into the dungeon, and if he didn't die, he would be skinned alive.

Yes, it was the women who were punished, and even if there were men who made mistakes, it was the women who failed to persuade and stop them.

Then, the casinos gradually moved out of Nanchu and moved to the border between Nanyan and Nanchu.

This eldest son of a single illegitimate family for nine generations, when he was addicted to gambling, stole the deeds of twelve shops, gambled away all his money in one go, and when he lost everything, he was about to jump off the Guanyin Tower to commit suicide.

The head of the Jiangxia Huang family was both angry and helpless.

Finally, he negotiated with Nanyan in the name of Nanchu and moved the casino again.

This eldest son of a single illegitimate family, who had been adopted for nine generations, could not find a casino at all. He could only endure it again and again until he got rid of his gambling addiction and became a decent human being.

Therefore, Zhu Huaizhen suspected that this eldest son, who had been the only son in nine generations, was secretly happy when he heard that his father had died suddenly.

"If you can't give it to me, then you can't give it to me. Princess Ronghua, are you kidding me?" The eldest son of the Huang family of Jiangxia, who was the only heir in nine generations, pretended to be angry and turned away.

Zhu Huaizhen guessed that this eldest son of a single illegitimate family who had been in the family for nine generations came here not to denounce Huang, but to confirm whether the Jiangxia Huang family was dead or not.

In the end, only the second son of the head of the Lanling Xiao family was left.

He unfolded an ebony-bone, gold-painted floral folding fan and smiled charmingly, "Princess Ronghua, tell me, what secret do I have?"

When the head of the Lanling Xiao family wanted to kill his concubine's daughter, the second legitimate son tried to comfort him with Buddhism.

Unfortunately, the head of the family has the final say...

"The Lanling Xiao family is like wild wolves by nature. They fight for power and profit and are not afraid to kill each other. Mr. Xiao, I need your help to recall how your eldest brother died." Princess Rongyang Zhu Huaishu sighed and could only join Zhu Huaizhen's team to talk to the second son of the head of the Lanling Xiao family.

To be honest, the second son of the head of the Lanling Xiao family was once a candidate for Zhu Huaishu.

Zhu Huaishu will eventually get married. Even if she doesn't want to, the Emperor of Southern Yan will make her marry. It is better for her to choose a suitable one.

The eldest son of the head of the Lanling Xiao family studied hard for ten years and won the third place in the imperial examination. However, he volunteered to lead the army to destroy the pirates. He was personally praised by the Emperor of Southern Chu as a child of destiny with great potential.

As a result, the eldest son died from snake venom.

It is said that when the eldest son was taking a nap, a bamboo pit viper sneaked in and bit his neck.

However, just after the seventh day after the eldest son's death, the second son invited the head of the family to taste the fine wine soaked in Bamboo Leaf Green.

The second son was telling the head of the family that he was the one who killed the eldest son. If he was not convinced, he could let his younger brother come and challenge him.

When the head of the family learned about this, he laughed out loud and thought that the second son's behavior was a model for the Lanling Xiao family.

"Big sister, I think this Mr. Xiao is not bad. How about this, I will give you 30,000 taels of gold and let Princess Xincheng marry to Northern Zhou. By the way, the Emperor of Northern Zhou doesn't like other people's wives, so let the people of Southern Chu enjoy Princess Xincheng first. Anyway, this is your custom in Southern Chu, and the benefits should not be given to outsiders." Zhu Huaizhen spoke quickly and laughed heartily.
