Gu Shirong was surprised. He clearly heard the sound of the dice breaking. Why wasn't it his?
"I accept the loss." Yin Chujiu said lazily. Although he was speaking to Gu Shirong, he was looking at Chang'an.
He only moved his lips, but no sound came out. "Master."
This number surprised Yin Chujiu. He had heard it clearly. The sound from the dice clock just now should have been the highest number, so why did it suddenly become one? And what did the change in force mean? Was it a change in the number?
However, Yin Chujiu can be sure that the internal strength of this young man from the royal family of the Southern Kingdom should not be underestimated.
"Let's go." Gu Shirong, angry and embarrassed, threw his sleeves and left.
But just as he took a step forward, he was pushed back by a force, "Mr. Gu, leave the silver before you go!"
Gu Shirong looked at Yin Chujiu who had attacked him and said, "Mind your own business! Brother Le Kang didn't say anything, so why should he bother with you?"
Yin Chujiu raised his lips and nodded towards Gu Shirong. He spread his hands, glanced at Chang'an who had been very quiet, and said no more.
Gu Shirong was angry, "I just won't give it to you, what else can I do?"
He thought that Le Kang in front of him would not dare to do anything. Besides, he was a member of the Southern Kingdom's royal family, especially when he was away from home. He would rather avoid trouble than cause more trouble. Moreover, judging from the man's performance just now, he was a coward.
Maybe I came here just to look for Chang'an.
When the time comes, please ask your uncle to say a word. This bet will definitely not count. The most important thing is that the rules are set by the owner of the Gambling Pavilion. It is possible that these two people have colluded with each other for a long time.
"As far as I know," Chang'an smiled. She didn't care whether Gu Shirong left or not. She just looked at Yin Chujiu and said, "When this Gambling Pavilion first opened in Shudu City, Master Yin announced to the city that you would be responsible for the compensation for all games played in the Gambling Pavilion, regardless of size, win or loss. Is that right or wrong?"
"Yes." Yin Chujiu agreed.
"In that case," Chang'an said bluntly, "then regarding this game between me and Master Gu, the funds for the game will be handed over to you, the Gambling Pavilion. I hope you are not just talking big."
Yin Chujiu glanced at Old Yu.
Mr. Yu then confirmed, "Of course, but we also have our own rules. We will take 10% of the recovered funds."
Chang'an of course knew it. She nodded and looked at Yin Chujiu who was already walking upstairs.
Yin Chujiu, known as the Silver-faced Young Master in the underworld, started his career by running an escort agency, Shengtong Escort Agency, which spread across four countries.
Yin is not his surname, but his characteristic. When he injured his face while escorting a caravan, he wore a silver mask and was called the Silver-faced Young Master since then.
According to investigations, Yin Chujiu has basically focused on the Gambling Pavilion over the past two years, and his business has been going smoothly. However, it is unknown who is backing him. He will not personally escort an escort unless he receives something important.
Chang'an thought that Fusheng Sect had been in decline for many years after his mother's death, and they were no longer well-informed in the past few years. Some profound things always take some time to understand.
At noon, the Game Pavilion graduated.
Chang'an left, returned to the general's mansion, and restored his appearance.
"Miss, the master has sent people over several times." Wan Xin said, "He said he woke up and went straight to the middle hall to eat. Everyone is waiting."
Changan smiled and said, "Everyone? Aunt, I'm flattered. Where's Dongxue?"
Wanxin put a cloak on Changan and said, "Just now, the Ninth Prince's men came over and said they wanted Dongxue to go get Songzi."
Chang'an nodded and walked out of the room. "Let's check which big tree in the imperial court is behind the Gambling Pavilion. This kind of business that only allows the powerful and wealthy to enter and is responsible for collecting gambling debts cannot be so bold without a powerful person behind it."
"Yes." Wanxin agreed. At this time, footsteps were heard outside the courtyard gate.
Chang'an walked towards the courtyard gate with regret, opened it, and it was the housekeeper.
His words were full of respect, "Miss Chang'an, the master asked me to come and see if you are up."
Changan smiled, "I just heard Aunt Wanxin mention that Uncle Fu has been here several times."
"Not much." The housekeeper smiled. "It's nothing important anyway, just think of it as stretching your legs."
"Yeah." Chang'an didn't say any polite words and followed the butler towards the central hall.
Chang'an remembered that for so many years, ever since he got a scar on his face when he was a child, he had never gone to the central hall to dine with everyone.
If I don't go, no one in the mansion will care, and no one has ever invited me.
Now that I have been invited by the housekeeper, it must be my grandfather's idea.
"Chang'an," the old general said, "it's time to sit down and eat."
"Yes." Chang sat in the empty seat reserved for himself.
Chang'an glanced at the people present without leaving a trace, and Gu Shijia and her mother Qin Shumin were missing.
It's normal that they can't come. One of them is injured and the other has a broken wrist, so naturally they can't come.
The table where Chang'an was sitting was filled with people of their grandchildren.
However, what surprised her was Gu Shirong. She didn't expect that he would come back home. She thought he would be with her so-called friends.
Chang'an took his seat and the butler served the dishes.
"Second sister," Shirou asked softly, "Why did you sleep so long today? Are you feeling unwell?"
"It's okay, I just feel a little bit."
"Huh?" Gu Shirong said with a sharp tone, "You hit someone, right? It's not an exaggeration to say you deserve it."
Everyone knew that Gu Shirong was referring to the injuries to Qin and Shijia.
When Gu Qingyun heard his son say this, he was about to speak up to stop him, but when he looked at his younger brother Gu Qingfeng who was sitting opposite him, he pretended not to hear anything.
Suddenly, Gu Qingyun thought of what his wife said, 'Your woman and daughter were bullied, and you were too cowardly to say a word.'
Gu Qingyun immediately swallowed what he was about to say.
Chang An swallowed the food in his mouth slowly, tested his lips with a handkerchief, and then spoke, "I think it's really as Big Brother said. It seems that I need to exercise more like I did that day."
"..." Gu Shirong was stunned. He obviously didn't expect this answer. "You, what do you mean, Grandpa, did you hear that? She, this useless... Chang'an is going to hit people again."
Gu Qingyun originally thought that Qingfeng would say something, but who knew that he said nothing and just pretended not to hear.
So he asked directly with anger, "Changan, what do you mean?"
Chang'an smiled calmly. She glanced at Gu Qingyun and said, "Uncle, why are you so anxious? Chang'an and Big Brother are just bickering for fun. Is it worth it for a general like you to act like a cock with its feathers blown off?"
