So...did he pick up the knife and give it back to her?
Di Jingling frowned deeply upon hearing this.
He explained irritably, "This is the second one! I have many fine daggers, and this is a reward for your service last night!"
Xiao Tang was startled.
Good heavens, I remember now, this man is the owner of the weapons workshop. There's a weapons workshop at the foot of the capital that specializes in making weapons; it's mysterious and prestigious.
[Isn't he the main villain?]
"Then wouldn't it be better to pawn it and get a good price?"
"How dare you!" A hint of anger flashed in the man's eyes.
That brat, she dared to do it! He twisted her wrist so she'd never dare hold a knife again!
Xiao Tang was startled by his sudden angry rebuke.
She looked at him, puzzled. "Your Highness, what's wrong?"
Is my period coming again this month?
Di Jingling also realized that she seemed to have lost control of her emotions. She pinched the bridge of her nose before whispering a warning: "The dagger is a reward for the Princess. The Princess must take good care of it. If it is lost..."
He didn't finish his sentence.
His tone became more serious.
The threat was profound.
Xiao Tang gripped the dagger tightly and swallowed hard.
Why did she have this vague feeling that this guy knew she was going to pawn the dagger, and that's why he was deliberately threatening her like this?
When the couple took their seats, the fighting had already begun inside the arena.
Soon, a young eunuch came over with a booklet and handed it to the Regent and Xiao Tang, along with a plate of silver.
Those were all bets placed by other nobles.
Xiao Tang flipped through the booklet.
These ferocious beasts were all given extremely gentle and unique names.
Names like "refined and popular," "shared appreciation," "different branch," and "startled magpie"...
Who would believe that a tiger's name is "Spring Flower" and a lion's name is "Autumn Harvest"...
The person who chose this name is a genius!
She put her right hand behind her back and did some mental calculations.
He then pointed to a beast called "Wuqiu," which was a black bear.
"I'll bet on it! My husband, the prince, trusts me!"
Without even blinking, Di Jingling raised his hand to signal Yan Jiu to pay.
Yan Jiu thought that putting down two ingots of silver would be enough to give the princess face, but little did he know that as soon as he put it down, Xiao Tang snatched the money bag from his hand.
"My lord, let's bet bigger! If we win, we'll split the winnings fifty-fifty!"
After saying that, he poured all the silver from Yan Jiu's money bag out in one gulp.
Believe in me, and you'll become incredibly rich!
[I'm betting my reputation as a healer here today! I have to win!]
Yan Jiu looked at the empty money bag that had been stuffed back into his hands, and felt like crying.
This money... it's his!
The prince never participates in such gambling, and he hadn't instructed anyone to bring money with them when he went out today, so he didn't take any.
Now it's all good...
He was ripped off of all his money by the princess, and the "Wuqiu" bear she chose was a lazy, good-for-nothing black bear. How could he possibly win?
The young eunuch looked at the silver and gave Yan Jiu a strange glance.
after all……
The Regent actually placed a bet today; I've never seen anything like it before.
The young eunuch left.
The competition on the field intensified, especially among those placing bets, who were shouting with incredible fervor.
This reminded Xiao Tang of the scenes she used to watch ball games.
She secretly curled her lip and discreetly put the dagger into her bosom.
After looking around, suddenly, my hand was grabbed by a large hand.
The man's large hands were dry and warm, and of course, a jolt of electricity ran through me...
