Just as she was about to look down to see if the curtain was nailed shut, the man in the room spoke: "Madam, please sit down."

Madam Wei opened the curtain and sat down at the table.

The man in Chinese clothes was not very old, and appeared to be in his early thirties. Although he was not very handsome, he was still decent.

Su Xiaoxiao imagined a big drama...

No, that's very wrong.

That was my future mother-in-law, so I was not allowed to imagine anything! The man poured a cup of tea for Madam Wei and asked in a gentle tone, "Madam Wei, why did you visit Lin's gambling house late at night?"

It turns out he is the owner of the gambling house.

Su Xiaoxiao blinked and continued to listen attentively, while observing the movements of the two through the gap in the curtain.

Madam Wei didn't drink her tea. She said indifferently, "Stop beating around the bush and hand the man over."

Boss Lin smiled and said, "Mrs. Wei asked me to hand over someone as soon as she arrived. Could I ask who it is?"

Madam Wei said, "My maid."

Boss Lin looked surprised: "Oh? Why is Madam Wei's maid in Lin's gambling house?"

Madam Wei said coldly, "If you keep beating around the bush, I won't be polite."

Boss Lin smiled and said, "Madam Wei, please calm down."

Mrs. Wei's patience was running out: "I don't have time to waste on you, either hand him over, or--"

Boss Lin waved his folding fan and said, "What do you think? How does Madam Wei plan to deal with me? Are you going to ask your son to destroy my gambling house?"

Su Xiaoxiao really wanted to know how Madam Wei treated Wei Ting in front of others.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Wei didn't say anything and just looked at him indifferently.

Boss Lin smiled and said, "I was just joking. Madam Wei, please don't take it to heart. There is indeed a maid who came to the gambling house today. Her name is Ping'er."

"It's her." Mrs. Wei said.

Boss Lin looked towards the door and said, "Someone, please bring Miss Ping'er over here."

The servant guarding outside left in response, and soon came back with a young maid.

The little maid was not very old, only about sixteen or seventeen years old. She was wearing patched clothes, had messy hair, and had a wound at the corner of her mouth.

Madam Wei's eyes swept over her maid.

Boss Lin's tone darkened: "Who is so blind as to make Miss Ping'er like this?"

The servant complained: "Boss, she was like this when she came, and we didn't even touch her!"

Boss Lin looked at Ping'er: "Miss Ping'er?"

Ping'er hid beside Madam Wei.

Mrs. Wei took out a stack of silver bills and threw them on the table.

"Selling one's body."

She said.

Boss Lin smiled meaningfully and waved to the servant behind him.

The servant sighed and took out the indenture contract from his arms and placed his hands in Boss Lin's palms.

Boss Lin said in a deep voice: "What are you doing for me? For Madam Wei!"

"Yes." The servant handed the indenture contract to Madam Wei.

Ping'er hesitated for a moment and took it tremblingly.

Madam Wei stood up: "Let's go."

"Mrs. Wei."

Boss Lin called her.

Madam Wei asked calmly, "Do you have anything else to do?"

Boss Lin smiled and said, "If Madam Wei wants a maid, she can just send someone to tell her directly. There is no need to come in person. Besides, you don't need to spend the money. If we had known that she was Madam Wei's maid, we would have treated her with courtesy and sent her to Madam Wei's house."

Mrs. Wei ignored him and left with Ping'er without looking back.

The servant muttered, "Boss, you're just letting him go like that... That bastard owes our gambling house a huge sum of money... Just selling my sister to pay off the debt... It's already a bargain for him——"

Boss Lin looked at Madam Wei's back as she gradually disappeared into the night, fanning himself and muttering, "What do you know? We can't afford to offend this person."

Another servant hurried into the room and whispered a few words in his ear.

Boss Lin frowned: "Are you serious?"

"It's absolutely true." said the servant.

Boss Lin said unhappily, "Why didn't you say so earlier?"

The servant explained: "You just came back tonight..."

Boss Lin slammed his folding fan on the table: "How does Lao He do his job? He was caught by the imperial court so easily..."

Lao He...The Imperial Court...

What is the Dharma protector?

This gambling house... is the White Lotus Sect's den?! After Boss Lin and the servant left, Su Xiaoxiao walked out from behind the curtain.

The manager stepped forward and said, "Boss Lin, a girl just went in..."

"roll!"

Boss Lin was so annoyed. He didn't care about that damn girl! The manager sighed, "Yeah, yes."

He turned around and saw Su Xiaoxiao standing in the corridor: "Girl, have you found the person you want to see?"

Su Xiaoxiao said calmly: "Oh, I was wrong, that person is not him. I'm leaving first!"

The steward said politely, "Take care."

"Girl! Girl!"

The man who had just made the bet rushed over with red eyes and grabbed Su Xiaoxiao's shoulders tightly with both hands.

"Girl, I lost everything! Help me win it back!"

Su Xiaoxiao looked at him calmly: "Let go."

The man shouted anxiously, "Girl! As long as you help me win it back, you get six and I get four! No! You get seven and I get three! You get seven and I get three should be fine, right?"

"Not interested." Su Xiaoxiao said, then pushed the door open and walked away.

"You can't do this to me—" The man pounced on Su Xiaoxiao.

The steward winked at the sturdy man next to him, and the sturdy man rushed forward, pinned the man to the ground, and tied his hands behind his back.

The man struggled desperately: "Girl! Girl, help me gamble again——"

After Su Xiaoxiao left the gambling house, Mrs. Wei's carriage had already disappeared without a trace.

She frowned in confusion.

Judging from their conversation, Boss Lin and Mrs. Wei know each other.

And Boss Lin is a member of the White Lotus Sect, so what about Madam Wei?

Is she related to the White Lotus Sect?

Pear Blossom Lane.

Xiao Su's family was in chaos.

Bai Xihe sat on a chair on the east side of the main room, and Qin Canglan sat opposite her in a serious manner.

Bai Xihe was drunk and nodded repeatedly: "Father——"

Qin Canglan's temples were throbbing. He pulled Su Cheng over and said, "Son, why do I feel...she looks a little familiar? Did you kidnap her back from the palace?"

Su Cheng said depressedly: "What palace? It's abduction from the restaurant - not abduction!"

What the hell is going on! Su Cheng has never been so speechless in his life! Qin Canglan looked at Bai Xihe, who was drunk and calling him father-in-law with a silly smile: "Is he really not from the palace?"

The more I look at it, the more it looks like...

Su Cheng waved his hands and said firmly: "No! She is Daya's patient! She has been to our house several times! I don't know who in the palace you are talking about, but she is definitely not her!"

"call!"

Qin Canglan felt relieved.

I hope it’s not the one in the palace, otherwise I would rebel against you.
