As for Bai Laosan, who inherited the title, he was completely stunned. He didn't sign on behalf of the second or third branch of the family. He just sat there, as if none of this had anything to do with him.
After everything was sorted out, it was already past noon.
The main problem is that the Donglin Prince's Mansion has too much property; it would take a long time to decide, and the various branches of the family are still wondering if they should receive a smaller share.
The princess and Bai Baozhu wanted Gu Xin to stay for dinner, but Gu Xin politely declined.
The atmosphere at the Bai family home was somewhat awkward, and she didn't want to stay.
After leaving the Bai family, Gu Xin went shopping in Taizhou City. She had arranged to meet Bai Yi, Bai Er, and Zheng Qiu at Hexing Restaurant in Taizhou that morning, and she guessed that the three of them were still waiting for her to have lunch.
Upon arriving at Hexing Restaurant, they explained that they were there to see someone, and the waiter led them to a private room.
"Have you eaten or not?" Gu Xin asked with a smile, looking at the three people playing cards at the table.
"Not yet!" the woman in white said dejectedly. "I often see the old lady playing this with those other old ladies, and she still can't beat Xiao Qiu!"
"There's nothing I can do, my mother gave me a good brain!" Zheng Qiu said with a smile.
After playing the landlord game all morning, Zheng Qiu won a bag of silver.
Moreover, she learned it on the spot, and she was just very lucky to get a good starting hand.
"Hey, a royal flush!" Zheng Qiu threw down his last two cards, then turned to Gu Xin and smiled, "Xin Xin, this meal is on me!"
"Tsk! Then I'll have to order a lot more good food." Gu Xin walked over and looked at the money bag, shaking her head with a sigh. "Bai Yi and Bai Er, you two are so unambitious! You've been learning for years, while Xiao Qiu probably just started learning!"
Bai Yi Bai Er: "..."
"Press, press harder. Opportunities to use someone else's flowers to present to Buddha are rare!" Zheng Qiu laughed.
The waiter waited on the side for the customers to order.
Gu Xin asked the waiter to announce the dishes. After the waiter finished, Gu Xin ordered all sorts of her favorite dishes without any hesitation.
"Xiao Qiu, don't feel guilty. When we were in the Western Lands, those two guys amassed countless treasures in the Cloud Sea Tribe. So, go all out and win! We can still play four-player mahjong when we get back. I'll have someone get a mahjong set ready, and we can play while we wait for Enzi. Let's win back all the money those two guys need for their wives!" After the waiter left, Gu Xin poured herself a cup of tea, drank it in one gulp, and said.
"Yes, Your Highness! I will obey your command!" Zheng Qiu bowed to Gu Xin.
Then they both burst into laughter.
Bai Yi and Bai Er wanted to say no, really. They had seen Gu Xin play mahjong before, and she was someone who had never lost. They didn't want to play with her at all!
"Oh dear, let me tell you about the Bai family's division. The princess's methods were truly decisive. In short, if you're not happy, get out and don't get in my way!" Gu Xin, having nothing better to do, took advantage of the time while waiting for the food to be served to tell them what had just happened.
Bai Yi and Bai Er were on the same side, and Zheng Qiu wasn't a gossip, so Gu Xin spoke about other people's family affairs without any reservations.
This isn't what you call talking nonsense outside.
When Zheng Qiu heard Gu Xin say that Zheng Wei wanted to take her son back to her parents' home, she laughed. Was that even possible? Absolutely not. Zheng Wei's husband was dead, her son was still young, and the title of prince had fallen into someone else's hands. It was highly unlikely that the sycophantic members of the Zheng family would allow her to return.
Zheng Qiu thought Zheng Wei was really stupid to use this to threaten the princess. Would it even work?
