Cheng Shaoyuan was vaguely worried. After all, there was a mix of all kinds of people there.

"Don't worry. There's someone behind me."

Even though Qingfeng hid himself very well, Gu Yunru had already sensed his presence.

"Qingfeng, come out."

Gu Yunru called out to the door directly, and sure enough, she saw a man in dark blue suit appear.

"Okay, I'll go to the gambling house now." Gu Yunru left first to save time.

Guan's gambling house was opened at a cross street in the capital city and had been attracting gamblers for three years.

Gu Yunru stood downstairs of the Guan family gambling house, looking at the plaque hanging high. Qingxing stood behind Gu Yunru, mumbling, "Princess... no, Master, can we find any clues about Zhang San?"

"Of course, the people here know each other's background very clearly. Those who hang around here probably know Zhang San best."

Qing Xing listened to her words with doubt, nodded, and followed her in.

As soon as Gu Yunru walked in, she felt the overwhelming enthusiasm and noise, including some vulgar words that were too coarse to be heard.

The moment Gu Yunru walked in, all the gamblers turned their eyes to her curiously.

"Sir...why do I feel that these people's eyes are so unfriendly?"

"I felt it too, don't be afraid." Gu Yunru looked at this person with a fake smile, and squeezed directly into a large table to start betting on big and small.

At this time, a man in a white sleeved robe stood on the second floor, looking at everything downstairs curiously.

This person is Xie Changming.

"You look so familiar, little brother. But seeing how generous you are, you must have been born into a wealthy family." The older brother at the side took two steps towards Gu Yunru curiously.

"This is my first time in a place like this. Please forgive me, big brother." Gu Yunru smiled awkwardly, bought the goods and left, earning several taels of silver under everyone's eyes.

"Sure, little brother, you've made a fortune the first time you come to a place like this!" Several older brothers around him cast envious glances at him, wanting to follow him and buy big and small items, perhaps they could even get a bargain this way.

"My brother Zhang San often brought me here before, so I learned a lot of skills from him." Gu Yunru gradually mentioned Zhang San. Everyone looked surprised when they heard it, as if she had mentioned someone who shouldn't be mentioned.

"How could such an unlucky guy like Zhang San actually know a rich man like you?" Everyone gathered around him, with disbelief in their eyes.

"That's because Brother Zhang San passed all the good luck to me, so I was able to win some money from everyone. Don't you guys feel like you can't afford to lose?"

Gu Yunru smiled awkwardly, with a hint of unnaturalness flashing across her eyes.

Xie Changming had been standing upstairs, paying attention to Gu Yunru's every move. He felt a little curious about the sudden visit of Princess Zhao.

So he said a few words to the waiter beside him, and the waiter nodded after listening. Then a few big men gathered around the table again and began to challenge Gu Yunru.

Qing Xing fully understood the principle of quitting when things are going well. Seeing so many people, she was immediately intimidated. She quietly pulled her sleeve and whispered in her ear, "Master, let's go back first."

"Go back? This is just the beginning, why should we go back?" Gu Yunru said disapprovingly, pushed all the money he won on the table, and started betting on the banker.

Qing Xing was trembling with fear watching from the side. After five rounds, the young master had lost so much that he didn't even have anything to defend himself with. At this time, the man next to him started to make a noise, "Why don't you take off that Shu brocade dress you're wearing, and you can use it to defend yourself for a few more taels."

"Who's afraid of whom?" Gu Yunru stared at everyone with her round eyes and took off the white jade hairpin on her head. The texture of this hairpin was very transparent and thick, and it was worth more than one hundred taels of silver. This time it could last for several rounds.

Seeing how he lost to his opponent one after another, Gu Yunru finally understood why Zhang San kept losing. It was because he dreamed of making back his money, but he lost so much that even his belongings were reduced. He had no choice but to take off the gemstone on his belt and put it on the table. "This is an emerald gemstone, worth more than fifty taels."

Everyone sighed. Qing Xing, who was standing aside, wrinkled her face and quietly tugged at her sleeve, "Sir, you can't take off any more clothes. It will be indecent..." Qing Xing was afraid that Gu Yunru really thought she was a man. If she took off the clothes again, her true identity would be known to everyone.

Gu Yunru was overwhelmed by the tense atmosphere of the game. After being persuaded by her, he finally stopped, "Okay, okay, I don't want to play anymore."

She came to investigate a case, not to show her support for the gambling house. She could tell at a glance that these experienced people were from the casino. It seemed that she had won too much, making the people in the gambling house jealous, so they had to win back the money she had won. She had seen such tricks before.

"That won't do. You still owe us 500 taels of silver." Gu Yunru's jaw dropped in shock. 500 taels of silver, when did she owe so much? "Nonsense, I already used the emerald gem as collateral in that game, how come there's another 500 taels of silver?"

Qingxing's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and she whispered to her, "Young Master, you forgot. You were the banker in the last round, and you lost double the money this time." Gu Yunru suddenly realized that she had forgotten the trap these people had set for her.

"I don't accept the defeat and I'll try again!" Gu Yunru didn't believe that she was so unlucky. These people must have done something wrong.

"But you don't have anything to give us, so why not take off your clothes and pawn them."

Gu Yunru subconsciously covered her chest and looked at the eager eyes of the crowd with vigilance. Could it be that her identity had been discovered by everyone? But... it was impossible. She disguised herself so well that no one had ever seen her identity as a woman.

"No, my son just caught a cold not long ago and can't take off his clothes. If you want, just take my clothes."

Qing Xing stood in front of Gu Yunru. It was the first time that I saw Qing Xing bravely stand up. However, taking off clothes was not something to be celebrated. He quickly held her hand and said to everyone seriously: "How about this, I ask my servant to go to the silver shop to get some silver bills?"

"You guys don't want to run away?"

Seeing everyone's gazes, Gu Yunru couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Please, it's just five hundred taels. Do you know who owns the Baicao Hall on Cross Street? It's me!"

Gu Yunru spoke with a proud look on her face, and everyone was stunned. They all said that they had never heard of the name of the store Baicaotang.
