Ni Gaofei's face looked a little gloomy, and Ni Yueshan approached him a little uncomfortably. Could it be that he was discovered?
"Dad." Ni Yueshan stood beside Ni Gaofei.
"No matter what the truth is, the Second House is still a concubine's daughter. But they treated you so arrogantly. You and your mother have been wronged in the past. From today on, I will pay attention to the distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children in the mansion. Your third sister hasn't woken up yet, so she will be raised with you for now."
Then he patted Ni Yueshan on the shoulder and walked away.
Ni Yueshan thought that Ni Gaofei had seen through something and wanted to hold him accountable, but it turned out not to be the case.
The servants in the mansion dispersed one after another, and Ni Yueshan walked into the room. She glanced at Ni Yingying, who was lying on the bed and whose face was gradually regaining its color.
Making her suffer like this today was a revenge for the bullying she had inflicted on the original owner.
If she is no longer her enemy, she will not hurt her in the slightest.
Ni Yueshan took a look at the room filled with exquisite luxury goods, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly. These should be enjoyed by legitimate children.
"Ren Mei, let's go. I'll fulfill my promise to you today!"
Ren Mei's father owed gambling debts and also killed her mother. Her mother's body is still at home, and she really can't afford any money to arrange her mother's funeral. Now that Ren Mei has helped her get things done, she is going to fulfill her promise.
In a village, outside the courtyard of a thatched house, a low black carriage stopped.
In such a dilapidated environment, it was rare to see a carriage.
But before I even went in, I could smell a foul stench from afar.
Someone recognized Ren Mei and came forward: "Miss Ren, you're finally back. Your mother's body is still inside, and your father has disappeared. I don't know where he is. He hasn't come back yet, and the door is still open! Let's deal with the body quickly..."
"Oh, what a sin!"
Ren Mei frowned, her eyes growing redder. She walked inside, and Ni Yueshan followed behind her. "Your father is so rude! You should tidy up your mother's appearance first. The coffin will be delivered soon. We also need to take care of the funeral and choose a good place for the cemetery. We need to make it a grand ceremony!"
Ren Mei stared at Ni Yueshan blankly, clearly moved: "Thank you, Miss."
Although the yard was stinking, she didn't feel disgusted at all. She threw herself beside her mother and lay there crying loudly.
Ni Yueshan looked around. The corpse was directly exposed to the air without anything to cover it. There were also many flies flying around. It looked extremely miserable.
Poor guy indeed...
Ni Yueshan went out and asked the neighbors around to find out where Ren Mei's father was.
"My wife died at home, and he never dealt with the body. Sigh, people are worse than animals. Maybe he's been gambling again these days!"
So if you want to find someone, you need to go to the gambling house to search for them.
Ren Mei stayed in the yard waiting for the coffin to arrive, and Ni Yueshan took two women to the gambling house to find Ren Mei's father.
There are many gambling houses in the capital, but Ren Mei's father is addicted to gambling and has taken villagers to several of them, so they started searching there first.
"Ruyifang." Ni Yueshan glanced at the plaque and walked in with the woman.
As soon as she lifted the curtain and walked in, the noise inside made Ni Yueshan feel uncomfortable.
The two women looked around for someone, looking very carefully. Although Ni Yueshan was dressed like a woman, her face was ugly and terrifying, so no one dared to do anything bad to her.
After searching for a long time without finding anyone, someone did provide information: "Are you looking for Ren Qun? Humph, he was captured by the people from Tianbao Casino yesterday. Go look for him there! If you get there in time, he might still be alive!"
Ni Yueshan had no choice but to take the two women to Tianbao Casino.
Tianbao Casino looks larger. When you walk inside, you will see seats arranged in an orderly manner. Although it is a casino, it is not crowded and there is no unpleasant smell.
Ni Yueshan walked to the front desk of the gambling house and asked, "Did you arrest a middle-aged man named Ren Qun?"
The other party looked Ni Yueshan over carefully and asked, "What do you want to do with him?"
"Redeem him, or take his life!"
"Then wait a minute."
Then the person at the front desk left, lifted a curtain and walked into the inner room.
Ni Yueshan didn't expect that it would go so smoothly. She guessed that Ren Qun's life was not worth much.
She was still waiting for someone to come over and negotiate the price with her, but unexpectedly a man dressed as a servant came over and said, "Miss, please come upstairs and discuss in detail."
"I'll pay, you just hand over the person, there's nothing to discuss!"
In a place like a gambling house, the person behind the scenes is never a simple person, and Ni Yueshan doesn't want to offend anyone.
"Don't rush to refuse." Although the servant didn't say much, Ni Yueshan had to go up because he wanted to take the person away.
In the separate private room, the interior is elegantly decorated, with a simple and grand layout. The sound insulation is also very good, and the noise from downstairs cannot be transmitted.
"Please sit down, young lady."
Ni Yueshan took a look at the seat. There was obviously another room inside, but because of the pearls and jade, he had no idea what was inside.
"Do you want to redeem someone?" A clear and cool voice came from the inner room. Ni Yueshan wanted to see what kind of sacred person the other person was, but he couldn't see clearly.
Ni Yueshan frowned slightly, "Yes, redeem a middle-aged man named Ren Qun. It doesn't matter if he is disabled, I just want him alive. If he is dead, then I don't want him!"
I also have to buy him a cemetery and a coffin. It's a huge loss. I won't do it!
The other party chuckled, the voice was a little evil, Ni Yueshan felt inexplicably familiar?
"I'm afraid you can't afford it." A contemptuous voice sounded in the room.
Ni Yueshan frowned: "Could it be that he owes a lot of money?"
But a commoner has nothing on him to mortgage. Why would a gambling house lend him so much money to allow him to continue gambling?
The bead curtain was slowly opened from the inside with a folding fan. Ni Yueshan saw the cloud pattern on the sleeve and felt that it looked very familiar. She widened her eyes in surprise and astonishment.
The man curled his lips with a hint of disdain and a mocking look in his eyes. He walked out slowly, wearing a crescent-white robe that wrapped around his tall and straight body, making him look even more imposing.
Ni Yueshan's face darkened. "I didn't expect it would be you, the Second Prince. Who would have thought that the Second Prince of the royal family would actually run a gambling house? Wouldn't this be a disgrace to the royal family if it got out?"
"You're still as sharp-tongued as ever. But, do you still want to take someone away from this prince?"
His devilish face, dandy smile, and noble temperament made him look superior to others, and she seemed to be at a disadvantage.
"The Second Prince said that I might not be able to redeem myself, so naturally, I should give up."
Ni Yueshan walked out after saying this, with no intention of continuing the conversation, and it seemed as if she was unwilling to exchange even a single word with Jing Yuchen in front of her.
"Giving up so easily is really unlike Miss Ni who is clinging tightly to the General's Mansion."
