After a while, two girls with graceful waists and delicate figure came. One of them had a face as rosy as a peach. Although she was delicate, there was a heroic spirit in her brows.
The girl was dressed in green and looked unhappy. The madam kept urging her from behind with a fierce tone.
"Su Xiaoxiao, the person who came today is either rich or noble. I tell you, you must serve me well, otherwise, you will suffer the consequences."
Su Xiaoxin was heartbroken. She was not originally a person of worldly affairs, but her family fell into poverty and she ended up in such a place.
"Okay, Mom, I'll go right away. But I still say the same thing. I can accompany them to the casino, but if they want me to serve them like that, I, Su Xiaoxiao, would rather bang my head against a pillar and die."
Su Xiaoxiao's resolute expression made the madam roll her eyes. "Alright, alright, I know what kind of person you are. Just let them into the casino like usual. I'll replace you later in the night."
The madam suppressed her anger and patted Su Xiaoxiao on the shoulder. It was not that she was reluctant to give up the person, but she was reluctant to give up this cash cow.
Su Dada followed behind and couldn't help but curl his lips. You are so aloof. If she could look like that, she would be able to walk around like her own in this Drunken Red Mansion.
Su Xiaoxiao felt extremely sad. The person who accompanied her last time was so fat and disgusting. She didn't know what kind of person he would be this time.
Some time ago, her father offended the Prime Minister in the capital and was imprisoned. She wanted to file a complaint with the emperor, but ended up in such a dark place. It was really miserable.
"Thank you, Mom."
Su Xiaoxiao bowed slightly and walked towards Zhou Beichen and the others. She stood in front of Zhou Beichen naturally and bowed gracefully.
"Sir, let Xiaoxiao accompany you in this casino today."
Su Dada rolled his eyes and resented the madam's partiality, but he walked up to Deshun and stuck close to him enthusiastically.
"Master, please let me accompany you tonight."
The sound of the clappers made Deshun shudder, and his whole body felt numb. He swallowed nervously and couldn't help but glance at Zhou Beichen. After getting a signal from his master, he turned the fake play into reality, hugged Su Dada in his arms, and walked towards the back of the casino.
Over there, when Su Xiaoxiao saw Zhou Beichen for the first time, she was struck by his handsome features and his cool aura. She felt somewhat relaxed, but then she thought, what good person could there be in this Zuihonglou?
Especially when I saw him taking his daughter to a brothel, I felt even more contempt for him.
Su Xiaoxiao suppressed the discomfort in her heart and even kept a distance from Zhou Beichen when she bent over just now.
Zhou Beichen was quite satisfied with this kind of prostitute. Deshun and Su Dada walked in front. Zhou Beichen nodded, pulled Zhou Zhaonuan up with one hand, and said lightly.
"Let's go. It's nothing big to ask you to come here today. I don't need you to toast or drink with me later. You just need to sit next to me. Afterwards, the money will be yours."
Su Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she said gratefully.
"It is a great honor to meet you tonight."
Zhou Beichen twitched the corner of his mouth and walked deeper into the casino.
You don't know how amazing this casino is until you see it. Zhou Beichen didn't expect that the casino in Zuihonglou was actually located underground. There was a hole dug underground that could accommodate a hundred people. After finding a secluded place to sit down, Zhou Beichen noticed that many high-ranking officials in the court were wasting their time on trivial things.
His face turned ashen, but he endured it with all his might.
Su Xiaoxiao noticed that he looked unhappy, so she sat down closer to him, a gleam in her eyes. "Sir, are you having any troubles? Why don't you tell me about it? Maybe I can come up with some advice. As for this casino, I've been here many times, and I know a lot of people there."
Zhou Beichen raised his eyebrows but didn't say anything. He came out to do business, so he naturally couldn't easily alert the enemy.
"Nothing!"
These two light words made Su Xiaoxiao smile awkwardly, "It's good that nothing happened, it's good that nothing happened!"
Su Xiaoxiao made herself look bad, so she left Zhou Beichen on her own and started eating melon seeds and drinking wine by herself.
"Dad, look at that guy. Is he the one who asked Dad to reduce taxes a while ago?"
Zhou Zhaonuan stood up, leaned over to Zhou Beichen's ear, and whispered, "I didn't expect him to be such a good official, but I didn't expect him to be this kind of person. Does he come to places like this often in private?"
Nuannuan pursed her lips, a look of anger flashing across her face. Zhou Beichen smiled and looked at his daughter's innocent face.
"You're still young. It's unrealistic for those high-ranking officials in the imperial court to not come here once, just like there can't be no corrupt officials in this world. Nuannuan, do you understand the saying that when water is too clear, there will be no fish?"
Nuannuan's big grape-like eyes turned cleverly, and finally revealed a sweet smile. She held Zhou Beichen's arm, snuggled in his arms, and spoke sweetly and softly.
"Daddy, Nuannuan understands. Just like what you said, there must always be bad people in this world. Because there are some things that we can't do ourselves, we need corrupt officials and treacherous ministers to do them. But we must firmly grasp the weaknesses of the treacherous ministers in our hands to prevent the country from changing hands easily."
Zhou Beichen smiled proudly that his daughter was so smart that she could draw inferences from one example.
"Nuannuan is right, but, Nuannuan, remember, at all times, you must not harbor any intention to harm others, but you must always be on guard against them. You know, this world is so big, and it's not easy to manage a country well. For so many years, I've also been working hard, desperately trying to make sure the people have enough to eat and live well, so that everyone can have enough food and clothing, but this road is too difficult and full of thorns."
Seeing that there was no one nearby, Zhou Beichen touched his daughter's head and started talking more for some reason.
"In the early years after I ascended the throne, I also killed all the corrupt officials and treacherous ministers in one go. I confiscated their property and executed some who were sentenced to death. But in the end, after just one or two years, new corrupt officials would reappear. Later, I realized that these so-called corrupt officials and treacherous ministers could not be completely killed. Since that was the case, it would be better to grasp their lifelines and keep them firmly in my hands. There are some things I can't do, so I can let them do it for me."
After Zhou Beichen finished speaking, Nuannuan tried to open her eyes wide, which were filled with confusion, and it was obvious that she was becoming more and more confused.
Zhou Beichen smiled leisurely and touched her head. "It doesn't matter if you don't understand. You are still young. Slowly, you will understand everything. You were so stupid when you were young. It seems that now that you have grown up, your brain is not as smart as I thought."
