Chapter 167: Short-sighted



"Have you ever heard of Ruyi Inn?"

Everyone looked over and asked each other curiously, but everyone looked confused and had no idea.

"Hey, what else do you know besides gambling? Have you never even heard of Ruyi Inn?"

Gu Yunru looked at their ignorant and fearless eyes and was so shocked that she was speechless.

"Forget it, just ask your servant to get it, we will send someone to follow."

Everyone was in a stalemate, and the man opposite finally spoke.

"Qing Xing, go ahead."

Gu Yunru winked at Qingxing beside him, and Qingxing lowered her head and left the gambling house first.

"Sir, why don't you go upstairs and have some tea first?" The waiter came over eagerly. Gu Yunru was a little thirsty after playing with this group of people, so he went upstairs to have some tea first.

As we were drinking, a melodious sound of piano came from somewhere, as if someone was playing the piano. I didn't expect that someone would have such leisure time to play music in such a place.

"who?"

Gu Yunru looked around curiously. She was in a private room with an excellent environment. Apart from the pearl curtains everywhere, there were no other unnecessary decorations.

Where did this melodious music come from? At this moment, a man in a white robe put down the guqin in his hand and walked out from behind the beaded curtain. He had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and his thin lips were slightly raised. People who saw him were delighted. He was indeed a handsome man rarely seen.

"Have we met somewhere before?"

Gu Yunru slowly put down the teacup in her hand. She must have seen this young man somewhere before, but there were so many things going on recently that she had forgotten some of them.

"Girl, you are so forgetful."

The man has a mellow voice and a deeply attractive charm.

"How do you know I'm a girl..." Gu Yunru was suddenly panicked and seemed a little at a loss. This was the first man who recognized her as a woman. His eyes were really sharp.

"Just look at the way the girl drinks tea and you'll know that it's fate that we meet again today after we last parted in the palace." The man opened his mouth slowly, and his voice seemed to have a magical power that deeply attracted her. She wanted to continue listening to him, but she saw that he was already sitting in front of her, his back as straight as a poplar.

His dark pupils were bottomless, his features were handsome, and he had a noble bearing.

"Who are you?" Gu Yunru was certain that he must be a royal relative, otherwise he would not be able to enter and leave the palace so freely.

"Guess who I am?" Xie Changming said calmly. Suddenly he paused, his expression a little subtle.

"No more guessing. Anyway, I know that you are also a playboy with no knowledge or skills. Otherwise, you would not appear in this place. Do you want me to keep your secret?"

Gu Yunru planned to blackmail him so that she wouldn't have to pay back the five hundred taels of silver she owed to the gambling house. This money must not be let to Rong Zhen, or he would be punished with confinement again if he found out.

"Keep a secret? You don't even know who I am, how can you keep a secret for me?" Xie Changming raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and suddenly found what she said a little funny.

"Although I don't know who you are, I'll find out if I go out and ask around."

After Gu Yunru finished speaking, she was about to get up, but she didn't expect that the man was indeed guilty and called her to stop. Gu Yunru raised the corner of her mouth in relief.

"What will it take for you to keep a secret for me?"

Xie Changming followed her lead and continued asking, wanting to see what ideas this clever girl could come up with.

"How about this, you lend me five hundred taels of silver first, so I can go down and pay off the debt, and we can settle the accounts later."

"Girl, you were born rich, why do you have to ask others to borrow money?"

"That's because..." Gu Yunru really couldn't say it. The recent financial situation was already tight. Although Baicaotang was profitable, it still had to pay him a sum of money. Rong Zhen was the largest shareholder.

The money deposited in the silver shop is still waiting for the interest to come out.

"Well, to be honest, sir, I'm a little short on money lately, but this gambling house is really fun. I'll come here again if I have the chance. By the way, do you know a man named Zhang San?" Gu Yunru looked at this nobleman with elegant bearing and a leisurely look. Although he didn't look like someone who hung out in gambling houses all year round, his lazy and unique temperament betrayed him.

"Zhang San? How could I not remember this person? He owed a total of 1,800 taels of silver, and now he has been arrested by the government."

The man spoke calmly, as if he only owed a small amount of money. One thousand eight hundred taels? How long would Baicaotang have to run to earn this much money? Gu Yunru counted carefully with her fingers, then walked up to him with eyes wide open.

"You know it so clearly, who is he?"

"You'll know who it is later. Someone is here to see you. You'd better leave first."

Just as she finished speaking, she heard footsteps approaching from the door. She turned around and saw that the young man who played the piano had disappeared. She saw Qingxing and Rongzhen walking in together. Qingxing shrank her neck and hid behind Rongzhen, trembling.

"A Zhao... why are you here?" Gu Yunru's face turned pale and blue. Now she was caught by him. He might torture her in some way in the future. She secretly glanced at Qingxing behind him.

"No...no..." Qingxing tried hard to mouth the words to her, but was still discovered by Rong Zhen. Rong Zhen interrupted their conversation, locked Qingxing outside the door, and walked towards her with a gloomy and intimidating look.

"What are you doing."

"I...what are you doing? I just came in to take a look out of curiosity." Gu Yunru pretended to be nothing and sat there, crossing his legs. The residual warmth of the teacup had not yet subsided, so he picked it up and took a sip.

"How can a princess like Princess Zhao come here to have fun?" Rong Zhen put his hands behind his back. His pupils suddenly contracted.

"I... who said I was here for fun? How could you see me coming here for fun?" Gu Yunru stood up righteously and said angrily to him. No matter how powerful she was, she could not be suppressed by him.

"I've already paid off the money for you. If I find out that you come to a place like this to have fun again, I'll break your legs."

Although Rong Zhen's tone was nonchalant, it had a kind of intimidating power. Gu Yunru's eyes widened. He actually dared to speak to her in such a loud voice. She stomped her feet in anger and turned away.

Rong Zhen knew that there was someone hiding behind the bead curtain, and with a subtle look on his face, he followed her out of the casino.

Qing Xing followed Gu Yunru fearfully, explaining all the way, "Sir, I really didn't know that I would run into the prince on the way. The prince was doing his routine business and just happened to follow me in."

"I see. A voyeuristic and perverted person like him will definitely come up with ten thousand ways to punish us, but we don't need to be afraid."
