Ying Xixi agreed, and as for how to raise the money, that was Su Mingzhi's business.
After Su Mingzhi left, Ying Xixi pretended not to know that Lin Youran had been hiding behind the screen the whole time, and stood up and left the main room.
On the way, Ying Xixi whispered instructions to Qiulin.
"Send someone to tell Su Mingzhi that I handed over the reins of the family to Lin Youran today.
The most important thing is to let Su Mingzhi know that Lin Youran not only has money, but also the key to the storehouse filled with rare treasures."
"yes."
Ying Xixi was in a good mood and was now just waiting for the prey to take the bait.
As for the other ungrateful guy, he must be gambling away his money in the gambling house right now.
In the largest gambling house in the capital, Lin Huijin went straight to the gambling house after taking leave from the Imperial College.
When he thought about the several thousand taels of silver notes he had now, he felt like there was a small hook in his heart, urging him to go to the gambling house and have a try.
He is lucky and will definitely be able to double the money!
Lin Huijin went to the gambling house with full confidence and first paid back the fifty taels of silver he had borrowed from the gambling house because he had no money.
But the other party said it was not enough.
"What do you mean by not enough? I only borrowed fifty taels of silver from you last time! Now that I've returned the fifty taels, I don't owe you anything!"
Lin Huijin frowned and spoke righteously.
The man in shorts puffed on his pipe and casually handed fifty taels of silver to the subordinate next to him.
"Young Master, this is not how it's calculated. It's been at least a month since you borrowed fifty taels of silver.
You've got to double it, understand? You're a regular here.
In this way, I don’t ask you to pay back one thousand taels, five hundred taels will be enough.
Here are fifty taels. If you give me another four hundred and fifty taels, we will be settled."
Lin Huijin's eyes widened at the short-sleeved man's words.
"You're robbing me! How can you settle accounts like that?!"
The short-sleeved man's face turned cold, "This is how we always calculate things here!
When you asked us to borrow money, we told you clearly!
You said you understood everything at that time. Why don’t you admit it now?
If the young master doesn't want to admit it, then we'll go ask the wife of the Marquis of Wu'an!"
Lin Huijin gritted his teeth and said, "I'll give it to you!"
Anyway, he has money now, just five hundred taels, he can earn it back by playing a few more hands!
Lin Huijin gave the remaining four hundred and fifty taels and left.
The short-sleeved man squinted his eyes and smashed his pipe, the smoke completely obscuring the calculation in his eyes.
He finally got a fat sheep, and he was determined to pluck all the wool!
Lin Huijin was holding back his anger because of the four hundred and fifty taels, so he became more and more daring in the game, betting bigger and bigger, and he lost more and more.
But the more you lose, the more you want to play, and the more you lose, the more you want to get back what you lost!
Lin Huijin seemed to be addicted to playing, and played until late at night. Not only did he spend all the banknotes in the box that Ying Xixi gave him the night before, he also owed the gambling house one thousand taels!
The people in the gambling house knew that he was the son of the Marquis of Wu'an, so they didn't detain him. They just asked him to go back and pay back the money as soon as possible.
Lin Huijin returned home in a daze in the middle of the night and fell asleep immediately.
When the guards Ying Xixi sent to keep an eye on Lin Huijin came to report to her, she had already woken up and fallen asleep in Gu Siyu's arms.
Ying Xixi had already sent Gu Siyu away, but this guy said there would be a good show tonight, so he had to stay and listen.
He just held her in his arms and acted coquettishly with her on the couch.
Ying Xixi was already sleepy, and with the sweet smell of Gu Siyu's embrace, she finally fell asleep.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with Lin Huijin?"
Ying Xixi rubbed her eyes and sat up from Gu Siyu's arms.
The guard told Lin Huijin everything that happened in the gambling house.
Upon hearing this, Ying Xixi sighed and shook her head, "He really is a prodigal son. He gambled away several thousand taels of silver in one night."
"This is something we would like to see happen, isn't it, sister-in-law?"
Gu Siyu was like a goblin, with a hook in his voice.
"Keep watching."
After Ying Xixi finished speaking, she asked the guards to leave first.
"Sister-in-law, what do you want to do next? Is there anything I can help with?"
Gu Si rested his chin on Ying Xixi's shoulder and spoke in a low voice.
"Next, I haven't thought about it yet. Do you have any good ideas?"
Ying Xixi asked casually.
"I do have an idea, but I'm afraid my sister-in-law will think I'm too cruel."
If Gu Siyu didn't continue with the rest of the words, Ying Xixi could roughly guess what he was going to say.
"If we don't care about Lin Huijin's life or death and let the gambling house people cut off his hands or feet, will that be okay?"
"As expected of my sister-in-law, I haven't even said anything yet and she already knows what I'm thinking."
Gu Siyu happily rubbed Ying Xixi's neck with his cheek like a big puppy.
"Okay, stop rubbing your hands and get down to business."
Ying Xixi pushed Gu Siyu away helplessly.
“If we just do this, we will definitely be criticized. I don’t want my sister-in-law to have even the slightest bad reputation before she leaves Wu’an Marquis Mansion.
So naturally my sister-in-law has to pretend first, for example..."
Gu Siyu leaned close to Ying Xixi's ear and whispered his thoughts.
Ying Xixi nodded repeatedly upon hearing this.
Gu Siyu's idea coincided with her rough idea.
"Okay, let's do it. It's getting late, it's time for Prince Gu to leave."
Ying Xixi felt a little sleepy again.
Gu Siyu was almost amused by Ying Xixi.
"You heartless little thing, I'll just throw it away after you use it, right?"
"I didn't use you, how could I have used you?"
After Ying Xixi said this, she saw Gu Siyu's eyes become trembling.
“.......”
"On our wedding night, I will teach you exactly how to use it."
After Gu Si finished speaking in a hoarse voice, he gently pinched Ying Xixi's chin, kissed her lips, then stood up and left through the window.
They touched and left in an instant, and Ying Xixi didn't feel anything.
Ying Xixi couldn't help but laugh.
Everyone thought that the prince of Yong'an was self-disciplined and restored propriety, but no one knew that in fact Gu Si and Zui despised these so-called etiquette and rules.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have come to talk about love with her, a widow in everyone's eyes.
The next day.
Ying Xixi was awakened by knocking on the door and shouting.
"Mother! Mother, please save my brother! Mother!"
Ying Xixi turned over, pulled up the quilt to cover her ears, and closed her eyes for a while to let the sleepiness go away. Then she slowly got up and called Qiulin in.
Qiulin had just pushed open the door and hadn't stepped over the threshold when Lin Youran rushed into the house impatiently.
"Mother!"
Ying Xixi sat beside the bed, looking at Lin Youran coldly and unhappily.
"Ran'er, you've overstepped the line! We can talk later if you have anything to say!"
"But......."
Lin Youran didn't dare to say anything more after saying two words, because Ying Xixi's eyes were really cold.
