Chapter 205 The End of the Weird Family

The tempting voice fell into the old man's ears.

What was even more tempting was that the money was right in front of him.

"Master, I believe in your luck. You will definitely make a profit! Consider this money as a loan from me."

The old man grabbed the money and threw it directly on the gambling table, "You're betting big!"

After seeing him start to borrow money, a group of people in the casino looked at each other.

A man wearing the court robes of the Jinwu Guard saw this scene, clicked his tongue, and moved closer to take a closer look.

The next day, Du Tai returned to his aunt's house and excitedly told his family what happened last night.

"Do you know what happened in the south of the city last night?"

"What is it?"

"A gambler lost so much money that he even lost his own son! You didn't see the scene. He lost everything in the casino and owed hundreds of taels of gambling debts. He even sold his son!"

"The casino people went to his house and caught the boy and his grandmother. The grandmother cried her heart out and held her grandson tightly. It was no use! The casino people came up and slapped her hard several times. The old woman was spinning like a top."

"After they snatched the little son away, the gambler wanted to gamble again. His mother got up from the ground and tore him apart, calling her own son a beast. The two of them fought in the street. How could they be like a real mother and son? They were just like mortal enemies!"

"Do you know what the most interesting thing is?"

"What?" The Du family was overwhelmed by what they heard.

"That gambler still owes the casino money!" Du Tai said, "How can the casino let them get away! Even if he had a son, he still couldn't pay it back. The casino's people wanted to cut his tendons in his hands and feet. When his mother heard this, she kowtowed to the casino and begged for mercy, saying that they have two daughters, one at home and one as a slave in the marquis' mansion, and they can both be captured to pay off the debt. She begged the casino's people to show mercy."

"When the people from the casino heard this, they all laughed. The servants of the mansion are all from the mansion, and they can even pay your debts! The leading thug from the casino slapped the shameless old woman several times and broke the tendons of the old gambler's hands and feet on the spot."

"When I left, the old woman was still holding her broken-arm and leg son and crying. She beat and hit him, angry and hateful, and she was shouting, 'God is so unfair! Give my grandson back to me! Give him back to me!'"

The people in the room listened to Du Tai talking about the tragedy in the outside world, their brows were wrinkled or knitted, and their eyes were filled with sympathy or indignation.

"That old lady is so pitiful."

"Why should she be pitiful? She deserves it for raising a son who is a gambler!"

"That little grandson is so pitiful. He fell into the hands of the people in the casino. If he's lucky, he can stay in the casino as a servant. If he's unlucky, who knows who will sell him to!"

"If you ask me, it's the two girls in his family who are pitiful. You didn't listen. One of the girls was sold to the Marquis's mansion as a servant, and they still wanted to be sold by someone in their family! It's really ridiculous! I don't know where they got the nerve to do that!"

"That's right, maybe her daughter has been sold by them several times! Bah! What a bunch of bastards, they deserve it!"

At this moment someone pushed the door open.

"What are you talking about?" Du Ruo asked as he pushed open the door.

"Nothing, nothing!" Du Tai immediately shut up when he saw his sister coming.

"Then why do I hear that someone was sold out? What about the Marquis' Mansion? What happened to the Marquis' Mansion? Did the Marquis' Mansion send anyone?" Du Ruo said.

"You heard it wrong. Your second brother saw a man in the casino who was so desperate after losing all his money that he wanted to sell his children. That man had a daughter who worked as a servant in the marquis's mansion." Aunt Du said.

After Du Ruo heard this, she turned around and glared at her second brother, "You went gambling again!"

"I didn't gamble! I really didn't gamble!" Du Tai hurriedly defended himself, "I just went there to take a look. I really didn't gamble money!"

There was suspicion in Du Ruo's eyes.

Seeing this, Du Tai swore and cursed, "Sister, believe me, I have never gambled again since the prince helped me pay off my gambling debts! If I lie, my whole family will die!"

The whole family was killed, but Du Ruo didn't say anything. But the first half of the sentence, "Did the prince help you pay off your gambling debts?"

"Why, you don't know yet? The prince paid me back one thousand taels of silver. Come to think of it, my brother-in-law is really good. Aruo, you married the right man."

When Du Ruo heard this, huge waves rose in his heart.

She had no idea that Cheng Yunshuo had paid Du Tai back 1,200 taels of gambling debt.

Du Ruo is a strong-willed person. She doesn't want any financial entanglement between her and Cheng Yunshuo. When her brother first started to owe debts, she paid it off on her own because she didn't want Cheng Yunshuo to intervene and make him think that she is a money-loving person.

But she never expected that, in private, her brother found Cheng Yunshuo and actually asked him to pay back the one thousand taels!

"How could you do such a thing! How can I stay in the Marquis' Mansion and speak in front of him if you do this?" Du Ruo frowned and said angrily.

"Aruo, don't be angry. We are all family. Why should we argue about money among family members?"

"You're going to piss me off to death!" Du Ruo raised her hand to hit him.

Du Tai hurriedly advised, "You should think about it from another perspective. Isn't it because the prince dotes on you? If he didn't dote on you enough, why would he pay back so much as one thousand taels for me!"

These words immediately made Du Ruo pause.

During the time she lived in her mother's house, all she kept thinking about was whether Cheng Yunshuo loved her or not.

Is she in my heart?

After the snuff bottle incident last time, her heart suddenly felt dead. She felt that in Cheng Yunshuo's heart, she was not even as important as a snuff bottle, and he didn't care about her at all.

But now......

If Cheng Yunshuo really didn't love her and didn't care about her, how could he pay back the one thousand taels of silver for her!

That’s one thousand taels!

Du Ruo's dry and painful heart seemed to have finally encountered the sunshine and rain, and it came alive. An indescribable throbbing and expectation bloomed again.

Cheng Yunshuo, he, he must have her in his heart.

It seemed like she had done something wrong last time and made him treat her like that!

Du Ruo, who was extremely lacking in love and longing for love, immediately lit up her eyes.

"Sister, where are you going?" Du Tai asked hurriedly when he saw Du Ruo running out.

"I'm going back to the Marquis' Mansion!"

At this time, the Marquis's Mansion.

After hearing Captain Qian's reply, Lu Lingyun said, "Captain Qian, Shuanghong is not on duty tonight, please invite her to have tea."

"Thank you Madam Young Master for your grace!"

Captain Qian was overjoyed to receive the grace.

"Don't do anything rash. You have to wait until you come back next time and your parents tell me about this matter in person."

"I understand!" Captain Qian assured him. Then he left Lu Lingyun and went to look for Shuanghong happily.

Lu Lingyun looked at his back and smiled faintly.

On the other hand, Dongsheng had already found Danhong's adoptive father and arrived in the capital within two days.

Back to Danhong, her grandmother dragged her son, whose tendons in his hands and feet were cut, back home. Now she only has Danhong to rely on.

She cried loudly and asked for help from the injured Danhong, begging her not to abandon them. She cried with tears and snot, looking extremely pitiful.

Danhong looked at the two men and sneered. Not long after, her adoptive father came to her. This time, Danhong naturally followed her adoptive father and cried bitterly, saying how stupid she was in the past and begged her adoptive father to forgive her.

Her kind foster father took her home without saying a word, and the only people left in the stable were the extremely old woman and the old man with broken arms and legs.

The two men had completely lost all their support, not to mention their children. The old woman cried all day long and cursed her useless son, but she just couldn't bear to leave him and dragged him along to beg for a living. The two of them tortured and cursed each other, and there was no news of them afterwards.

I don't know whether he is dead or not.

Of course, this is all in the past.

After Lu Lingjun dealt with Shuanghong's weird family, Du Ruo actually ran back by herself.
