Chapter 8: I'll make you pay with blood, and flesh with flesh!
Fatty Wang's face froze instantly. He clearly meant to shake the small one, how did it turn into a big one?
The people around him were just as stunned. This kid's luck is just too good!
"Boss, it's my turn." Ye Wanning grabbed the dice cup and tried to imitate Fatty Wang's movements by shaking it. Her hands were clumsy and unskilled; the dice made a clattering sound, and there was no discernible pattern to her movements.
Fatty Wang frowned, his eyes wide, staring intently at her hands, trying to find some flaws, but he couldn't see anything.
Ye Wanning shook the dice for a while, then slammed the dice cup down on the table: "Boss, please place your bet."
After hesitating for a long time, Fatty Wang had no choice but to bet on "small".
Ye Wanning laughed and said, "Boss, your dice seem to have a little problem."
As she spoke, she picked up the dice, slowly placed them back on the table, and gently scraped them with her fingernail, causing a layer of powder to peel off the dice shell.
"These are...dice filled with lead?" someone exclaimed.
Fatty Wang's face turned pale instantly.
He didn't expect that this kid would actually figure it out!
"Boss, isn't it inappropriate for you to play with these dice with your customers?" Ye Wanning looked at him, her eyes cold.
Fatty Wang was sweating profusely, and said with a forced smile, "Young man, you've misunderstood. It was just an accident. I'll have someone get you a new pair."
"No need." Ye Wanning stuffed all the winnings into her pocket. "I was lucky today. If I keep playing, I'm afraid I'll be doomed. I'm done playing, let's go!"
After she finished speaking, she left without looking back.
After leaving Jucaifang, Ye Wanning walked briskly towards the Minister's residence.
The silver in her arms felt heavy, which reassured her.
There are many things she can do.
As she passed through a small alley, she heard a familiar voice coming from inside.
"...That little bitch is definitely up to no good. She just got back and immediately took over my yard, and even got Father to punish you. I'm going to settle this score with her!"
Ye Wanning stopped and looked into the alley.
Seeing Ye Jingshu and Ye Chengjing talking inside, Ye Chengjing's expression was still very unpleasant.
"Stop thinking about those things," Ye Chengjing said, frowning. "The old man is protecting her now. If we try to argue with him, we'll only make a fool of ourselves."
"What should we do then? Are we really going to let her ride roughshod over us?" Ye Jingshu said unwillingly, "I heard that she ran out this evening, and I don't know where she went. I guess she went to see some shady characters."
"Are you telling the truth?" Ye Chengjing's eyes lit up.
"I don't know either. I heard it from the maid, but I haven't verified it," Ye Jingshu said. "But we can start from there. She's just a girl from the countryside. If she has any bad reputation, the old man definitely won't protect her anymore!"
Ye Chengjing nodded: "That's right. Have someone follow her. As long as we can find something to use against her, we'll see how I deal with her!"
Ye Jingshu smiled smugly: "Don't worry, I wouldn't work for nothing!"
Hiding in the corner, Ye Wanning's eyes gradually turned cold. They wanted to find something on me, huh? Let's see who ends up getting hurt in the end.
She turned around quietly and silently, then went back to sleep, her footsteps very light, as if she hadn't heard anything at all.
It was already late at night when I got home.
She slipped through the back wall, quietly returned to Red Leaf Pavilion, changed into women's clothing, and pressed the silver notes under the bed before finally letting out a sigh of relief.
Today was very profitable.
I made my first pot of gold. Also, I investigated Jucaifang's secrets. Most importantly, I learned about Ye Jingshu and Ye Chengjing's plans.
The days ahead shouldn't be boring anymore.
Lying in bed, she looked at the moon outside the window and gave a cold laugh.
Ye Jingshu, Ye Chengjing, the Zhou family... I'll play along with your game.
In this lifetime, I, Ye Wanning, will make you pay with blood and flesh!
