Chapter 200 is regret!
"Boss, this is bad." The waiter looked anxious, "The young master has fainted."
Xu Changqin was shocked and angry: "Where is he?"
"Infirmary."
Manager Xu hurried to the clinic, only to find out that it was his nephew who had been running the gambling game.
"idiot!"
He raised his finger tremblingly and cursed: "You think it's easy for me to make money, don't you? I don't know how to spend the little money I have. How much money have I lost?"
Xu Changqin was bewildered and frightened. He whispered a number: "About thirty thousand taels..."
"You!" Shopkeeper Xu also wanted to faint.
But reality does not allow it.
Thirty thousand taels, that’s almost half of the family fortune.
"You prodigal son, you are going to waste all your uncle's life's work!" Shopkeeper Xu felt exhausted instantly.
"Ahem..." Xu Changqin was worried: "Second Uncle, what should we do now?"
"You ask me? How the hell am I supposed to know what to do?" Shopkeeper Xu was furious, a deep worry covering his forehead. "Who knew that the damn Luo family actually had Prince Huai's Mansion backing them up? What are we going to do in the future?!"
Xu Changqin recalled that his second uncle asked him to check where those people came from, and he didn't dare to say a word.
He didn't care at the time, but now he regrets it so much.
If I had known the other party's identity earlier, I could have responded sooner and wouldn't have been so passive that night!
Seeing his strange expression, Shopkeeper Xu immediately asked, "Are you hiding something from me?!"
"No...no!" Xu Changqin felt uneasy.
Shopkeeper Xu snorted coldly: "It's best if nothing happens. If I find out, you can forget about Tianxianglou!"
Xu Changqin couldn't hold it in any longer, but he still didn't dare to say anything.
If Second Uncle knew that he was involved in today's situation, he would probably break his legs!
Seeing that he still didn't say anything, Manager Xu became more and more confused, but pretended to know nothing, glared at him fiercely, turned his sleeves and left!
The only way now is to win over the Liu family.
Let Magistrate Liu stand on his side!
After leaving the clinic, he stopped the servant beside his nephew and asked, "Has anything strange happened to you these past few days?"
The servant quickly replied, "My Lord, the young master is doing well."
Shopkeeper Xu was so angry that he kicked him and pointed at the clinic and cursed: "You said he is okay now?"
The servant felt very aggrieved. The doctor did say that there was nothing serious, but he did not dare to refute it and kowtowed to admit his mistake.
Shopkeeper Xu turned around and left, when suddenly something popped into his mind.
Before the servant could even breathe a sigh of relief, he heard the master ask again, "Why didn't he report the nobleman who came to the gate of Huaxiang Tower that day when I asked you to investigate?"
Although the Prince Zhou changed his clothes last night, he recognized his outstanding temperament at a glance.
If he had known the other party's identity earlier, he would definitely not have acted rashly!
The servant was puzzled: "Master, you didn't check the identity of any nobleman!"
Shopkeeper Xu: ...
His eyes rolled back and he fainted on the ground!
The servant was so frightened that he immediately carried the man to the clinic: "Someone, come quickly!"
…
Qiao family.
Zhao Zhi woke up the next day and found out what had happened yesterday.
However, no one expected that Prince Zhou would come to Huaxiang Tower.
At breakfast time, Mr. Qiao smiled and said, "Madam is really wise."
Zhao Zhi didn't say anything.
Mr. Qiao was slightly angry, but his expression remained unchanged. "It's just that I received the news too late yesterday, so I didn't have time to attend the banquet at Huaxiang Tower. But I heard that my father-in-law and brother-in-law were very timely. How about we go visit my father-in-law together today?"
Zhao Zhi glanced at him indifferently, feeling disgusted, but still nodded in agreement.
She wanted to know the details of last night.
The two came to Zhao's house together.
Zhao Jin took his brother-in-law to his father's room, while Zhao Zhi went directly to his mother's room. After a while, Zhao Jin came back.
"Sister." Zhao Jin looked at her face and saw something was wrong: "What's wrong with your face?"
Zhao Jin had no intention of hiding anything for Mr. Qiao, so he immediately told him what happened last night!
There was a huge age gap between the two siblings. Zhao Jin was so angry that he forgot to smell his nose, and Mrs. Zhao was so distressed that she burst into tears.
"Sister, wait for me. I'll get you out right away!" Zhao Jin said angrily.
"No hurry!" Zhao Zhi persuaded his brother: "I came here today to know what happened last night. Tell me, don't worry about your brother-in-law. You know my methods, so you won't suffer in vain!"
Zhao Jin pursed his lips, feeling very angry, but since his sister didn't want him to take action.
Then just don't let her know.
"We received news last night that the prefect's wife went directly to Huaxiang Tower..."
Zhao Zhi frowned slightly. "So, even the prefect didn't know about the prince's visit to Guancheng?"
Zhao Jin was slightly stunned. "That should be the case, but my brother was far away last night, so some of the things he heard were just hearsay."
Zhao Zhi stopped asking about this matter and said, "Tell father that if the Qiao family makes any request, delay it as much as possible. Understand?"
Although Zhao Jin didn't know what his elder sister wanted to do, it was his fault for helping his relatives instead of the law. Moreover, the other party actually dared to attack his elder sister, so he would not show mercy.
When leaving the Zhao family, Mr. Qiao had a smile on his face.
But soon, he couldn't laugh anymore.
The family began to be intentionally or unintentionally excluded by the merchants in Guancheng. The cloth could not be sold, and people found that the coarse cloth was damp and moldy.
The Qiao family's business plummeted, and Mr. Qiao could only rely on his wife and his wife's family for support.
This is a later story, so let’s not talk about it for now.
Besides, after the banquet last night, the Luo family appeared in Guancheng's vision from a completely new perspective.
Some families who were particular about their taste sent people to politely give opening gifts, while some people with ulterior motives visited directly at the door.
Fen Tao refused on the grounds that the master was busy with household affairs and was not at home.
These people did not give up and directly found out the old house of the Luo family, which was the residence of Prince Luo.
Wu was happily talking about how much money she had earned this time, and she even returned ten times the money her father had given her.
The three houses were all very happy, and Prince Luo was also in a very good mood.
As long as the Luo family has a big house, there is hope for a comeback!
"Oh!" Tian's eyes widened with envy, and she said directly to Wu, "Third wife, remember to confiscate the silver."
"Why?" Wu was unconvinced. With a roll of her eyes, she said bluntly, "Mother refused to let me place the bet. Fortunately, father was wise, so we got this money. I also want to take good care of my father and husband."
Tian's eyes widened: "We haven't split up yet, and you dare to hide the money secretly, Third Brother's wife, you will be punished if you don't accept my toast!"
Wu snorted, not wanting to pay attention to her. She turned around and asked, "Father, do I have to pay the money?"
Tian also immediately looked at Prince Luo and cried about the hard life she had experienced since arriving in Guancheng. Her hands had become much rougher and her hair had turned white.
Old Prince Luo snorted coldly: "If you don't have money, go make some. This family doesn't want to keep useless people!"
