The Qin family
Zhang couldn't stop Qin Gong in time; before she knew it, he had vanished.
She was so anxious that she sent people to search everywhere when Su Yulan returned with a dark face. A servant was walking in a hurry and almost bumped into her, but she kicked him to the ground.
"You bastard, don't you have eyes?"
Chunmei knew she was angry, so she went up and slapped the servant twice, making his face swell up.
"What's the rush? When you see the county princess, why don't you kneel down and kowtow?"
The servant covered his face, feeling extremely aggrieved, but dared not say a word, and knelt on the ground, trembling.
She deeply missed the days when Jiang Qingwan was the mistress of the house.
The monthly stipends were generous, and the food was good too.
As long as you are diligent, you will not be scolded for no reason.
The entire Qin family is now in a state of constant fear; if they hadn't signed indentures, they would have all run away long ago.
At that moment, Zhang's cursing came over.
"If you can't find the master, see how I deal with you all! You useless bunch, do you really think I can't control you? Let me tell you, no matter who my son marries, I'm the one who calls the shots in the Qin family's inner quarters!"
Chunmei snorted coldly.
"Princess, I'm going to teach her a lesson!"
Su Yulan reached out to stop her and looked down at the servant on the ground.
"Has Qin Gong run away again?"
The servant nodded hurriedly.
"They ran away and stole the old lady's savings."
Su Yulan's eyes were filled with disgust.
A bunch of lowly, despicable people; living with them would only lower her status.
Thinking of the dragon pendant on Jiang Qingwan's waist, she became even more displeased.
However, given Mo Yunhan's status, it's absolutely impossible for him to marry her. At most, he might like her for now, which is why he's giving her the dragon token to protect her.
Once you get tired of it, it will only end up being discarded.
At that time, Jiang Qingwan, who has no identity, will only become a pariah.
But she simply couldn't wait until then.
Since the Qin family head keeps courting disaster, she'll give him a hand.
She beckoned Chunmei to come closer, whispered a few words to her, and Chunmei's eyes flashed before she bowed and left.
After she left, Su Yulan said calmly, "Since it was the old lady who ordered it, then you should get up and go find someone."
Upon hearing this, the servant quickly scrambled to his feet and scrambled out, afraid of being scolded again if he was late.
On the other hand, Qin Minglang, who had just left the patrol camp, didn't dare go home at all.
The shop is gone, the house is gone, and now even the position in the Ministry of War is gone.
In just a few days, his ambitions when he returned to Beijing have completely vanished.
He dared not imagine what kind of trouble would ensue if Su Yulan found out.
In my distress, I suddenly caught a whiff of an alluring fragrance.
A glamorous woman, heavily made up and scantily clad, waved a handkerchief in her hand, her smile as radiant as a flower.
"My lord, wine can dispel a thousand sorrows. Shall I have a couple of drinks with you?"
Qin Minglang looked up.
Before us lies a notorious brothel in the capital.
He didn't have a chance to come before the expedition, and he dared not come after returning to the capital.
At that moment, I felt so overwhelmed that I walked inside uncontrollably.
As the wine and meat passed through my intestines, the dancing woman before my eyes grew increasingly blurry.
In a daze, he seemed to see Jiang Qingwan, and suddenly reached out and pulled her into his arms.
"Qingwan, I miss you so much."
The woman in his arms didn't care that her name had been changed; she nestled shyly into his embrace.
"My lord, I miss you so much too."
Qin Minglang felt hot and restless all over, and could no longer suppress it. He picked up the woman and rolled into the bed.
Half an hour later, the woman, her clothes disheveled, lifted the bed curtains, her pretty face turning deathly pale with anger.
"Turns out he's useless, what a waste of my efforts."
She searched Qin Minglang thoroughly and found that besides his badge as a supervisor of the Ministry of War, he only had a few taels of silver, not even enough for overnight expenses or wine.
She immediately summoned the madam.
The madam lifted the bed curtains and peeked inside, her face full of disdain as she smiled.
"Let him get some sleep. If he has no money, doesn't he have none at home? Have someone check where this supervisor of the Ministry of War's residence is."
The woman was somewhat worried.
"But he is, after all, an official."
The madam sneered.
"So what if he's an official? Does that mean he can get away with not paying if he drinks and slept with women? I'm going to the Jingzhao government office to beat the drum and appeal for justice."
Upon hearing this, the woman smiled radiantly, twisting her handkerchief.
"You really have a way with things."
At this moment, Qin Minglang, who was already dead drunk on the bed, was completely unaware of what was happening. He was still murmuring Jiang Qingwan's name and having some kind of beautiful dream.
...
Inside the Sifang Casino,
At this moment, Qin Gong had already made a desperate gamble.
He hasn't won a single game since he entered the market.
Moreover, whenever he bets on the big, the small always comes out.
Later, he refused to believe in superstition and bet on both big and small, and as a result, he got a rare leopard.
After a few rounds, he quickly lost all the money he had and got angry, so he cursed a lot.
Liu'er, with her sharp eyes, went over and pulled him away.
"Oh dear, who angered our Master Qin? Did you lose all your money due to bad luck? It's no big deal. Your son is a second-rank general, very prestigious. Does he need your little bit of spending money?"
Qin Gong was already intoxicated, and upon hearing this, he became even more intoxicated.
"Give me a thousand or two taels of silver, and I refuse to believe that today is so unlucky that I can't win a single game."
Liu'er still smiled obsequiously.
"Of course I can give you the silver, but what will you offer as collateral? I don't see you have anything you can pawn."
Qin Jiagong hated being looked down upon the most.
With his neck stiffened, he sneered, "My son is a second-rank official, do you think I'll pay him back?"
"Oh, look at what you're saying. I wouldn't dare, but casinos have their rules, so I'll have to trouble you to sign your name."
