Xiao Ya couldn't stop Yan Qingxue in the end. Yan Qingxue boldly pulled out a chair and set up a table. Anyway, someone was there to cover for her, so what was there to be afraid of?
Regardless of whether you win or lose, the money won't end up in someone else's pocket.
If she wins, the money goes into her pocket; if she loses, the money she loses still goes into the Bai family's pocket.
With that in mind, Yan Qingxue felt at ease and started playing.
He Yusheng wasn't very interested in this. He looked around the casino on the second floor, but eventually couldn't stand the strong smell of opium in the casino. He told Anle and got up to go out for some fresh air.
The person didn't go far and just wandered around in the corridor on the second floor. From the second floor, you can see what's happening on the first floor. While getting some fresh air, he glanced over unintentionally and caught sight of someone being dragged down from the third-floor corridor.
He Yusheng was stunned for a moment, thinking he had mistaken someone for someone else. He rubbed his eyes and looked again. Who else could that familiar face be but An Yi?
How did he end up in the casino? And how did he suddenly get dragged down from the third floor by two people?
Looking at An Yi's terrified face, pale with fear, and her mouth still shouting, "I have money, I have money, I really have money, don't chop off my hand, I'll go back and get the silver right now, my uncle has money, my uncle is an official in the capital, he is the commander of the Imperial Guard."
If you chop off my hand, he will definitely not let you off the hook.
"Hmph? The commander of the Imperial Guard? Even if the commander of the Imperial Guard comes, he should still pay back the money he owes. Paying back debts is a matter of course. No matter how much you argue, you won't be able to reason with him."
Another man, trapped in a life of comfort, hesitated for a moment.
"Why don't we actually send the person to the residence of Yu Xiao, the commander of the Imperial Guard? Maybe we can not only get the money back, but also give Yu Xiao face."
"Come on, when have you ever heard that Yu Xiao, the commander of the Imperial Guard, has a nephew? I've only heard that Yu Xiao, the commander of the Imperial Guard, has a beautiful wife from a prestigious family. She's already a favorite of the current emperor, and with the Su family as her backer, she's practically a tiger with wings."
How many women from the Su family can marry into the Su family?
Forget about marrying a legitimate daughter; he'd be laughing in his sleep just dreaming of any random girl from the Su family.
"I don't think this kid is lying. Why don't we go over and take a look, and bring him over?"
Ask around, and if that's not the case, it's not too late to bring it back and chop it up.
If that's true, we might be able to do the Su family a favor.
"That's true. Let's go and take him to the Yu residence to ask him."
He Yusheng heard the conversation between the two people in the corridor clearly, and frowned upon hearing it.
Did they run out of money gambling?
Their original purpose in coming here was to pick up An Yi, but now this kid is playing with fire and getting himself into trouble. I wonder how Lele will react when she hears this.
He Yusheng lowered his eyes, exhaled, and turned to walk back.
I have to tell Lele about this big thing.
Back in the casino, He Yusheng glanced at An Le, pursed his lips, and didn't say anything in front of everyone.
"Come out with me for a moment, I have something to tell you."
"Huh? What's wrong?" Anle paused, looking at He Yusheng's serious face, as if something important had happened. Anle didn't hesitate any longer and got up to follow him out.
"Sister Xiaoya, I'll go out for a bit."
After greeting Xiaoya, Anle followed He Yusheng into the corridor.
Standing in the corridor, He Yusheng spoke with a stern face, "When I came out for some fresh air just now, I happened to see your third brother, An Yi, right here. It seems he ran out of money gambling and was almost dragged down from the third floor and had his hand chopped off."
Anle was momentarily stunned. "Huh?"
"They're probably heading to your uncle's house now, planning to ask him for money. Shouldn't you go check on them right now? We came here for your third brother, didn't we?"
Anle blinked and licked her lips. "Are you sure the person you saw was my third brother?"
He Yusheng nodded. "I'm sure. Even if my eyes are playing tricks on me, I can't possibly have a problem with my ears, right? I clearly heard him say that his uncle was the commander of the Imperial Guard."
Your uncle is the commander of the Imperial Guards, right?
Hearing He Yusheng say this, Anle had no choice but to believe that what He Yusheng had seen was indeed her third brother.
Anle pursed her lips and lowered her eyelids. "Let's go now. I'll go in and say hello. We'll go over first." They've gone so far as to cut off their hands; how much money did they lose gambling?
Anle originally planned to greet Yan Qingxue and then quickly take He Yusheng to her uncle's place, but Yan Qingxue got angry and yelled when she heard this.
"Such a critical matter needs to be addressed immediately." After saying this, Yan Qingxue paused, suddenly realizing something, and turned to stare at Bai Naijiong with piercing eyes.
"Well... you're the young master now, so you can handle this, right? Of course, the debt will definitely be repaid, it's just a matter of time. Please give me some more time, and be lenient with me."
Bai Naijiong listened to the whole thing and nodded good-naturedly.
Anle smiled and looked at Bai Naijiong, asking with a smile.
"No need for leniency, it's not like I don't have the money. Just ask around and see how much money is owed, and I'll pay it back right here."
Bai Naijiong's gaze lingered on An Le's face for two seconds before he said, "If you can't pay it back right away, don't force yourself. If it's an outsider, then forget it. But since she's Qingxue's friend, I can still help with this."
Anle raised an eyebrow and glanced at Bai Naijiong, a rare occurrence for her. She hadn't expected this guy to be so loyal. Yan Qingxue truly never made useless friends for nothing.
"It's alright, please ask Young Master Bai how much is owed."
Bai Naijiong nodded and came back shortly after leaving. He handed the form to Yan Qingxue, intending to give it to Anle, but seeing how small the little girl was, he figured she probably couldn't even recognize all the words.
Yan Qingxue stared at the terms on the list, reading them over and over again. Each round cost two hundred taels of silver, and after thirty rounds, she hadn't won a single one.
By the end, Yan Qingxue's composure crumbled, her face cracking and completely stiffening.
Six, six thousand taels of silver?!
She didn't see wrong, did she?
Rubbing her eyes, Yan Qingxue wondered if she had misread the words. After staring at them again and again, she finally realized that there was nothing wrong with her eyes.
Even if you sold Lele's whole family, you probably still wouldn't be able to pay it back.
Anle's face was expressionless, but she casually grabbed the sheet that Yan Qingxue was holding and wanted to take a look. Yan Qingxue tightened her grip and didn't dare let her take it away.
