Little Leo was a man of action. He went out for a day and returned to Wenzhaoyuan in the evening, where he took out three deeds.
"Princess, I went out to talk to several medical clinics today. When these three heard that it was you who wanted to acquire the clinic, they agreed without hesitation."
"You didn't tell them about the money..."
"They're already struggling to make ends meet, so they're not in a rush! There's another family that's planning to sell their clinic and leave the capital. This clinic is right across from Jirentang."
Qu Li bent his fingers and tapped them lightly on the table. "Anything else?"
"There are two more to consider."
"I've signed these three deeds. You go and handle the formalities tomorrow! As for this one, the money will be paid by the day after tomorrow at the latest! As for the other two, we'll talk if they contact you first."
Because of Qu Li's trust, Little Li Zi secretly swore in his heart that he must handle this matter properly and live up to the princess's trust.
After Qu Li asked Qiao Zi to take him to the room in the side yard, he began to think about how to get the money as quickly as possible.
After Doctor Zhou was sent to Jingzhao Prefecture, Mo Wenqing investigated almost all of his ancestors for eight generations and proved that he was only obsessed with medicine and had no knowledge of the dirty deal between the shopkeeper and Imperial Physician Liu, so he released him.
Although the reputation of Jirentang has been greatly affected by the previous incident, Dr. Zhou is a skilled doctor, so there are still many people who come here for consultation.
After this experience, Doctor Zhou no longer dared to hand over the clinic left by his ancestors to others. He could only take it over reluctantly and spend most of his time every day dealing with trivial matters.
Qu Li did not have a grudge against Doctor Zhou and did not want to kill him completely, but he had other plans.
Therefore, making money is urgent!
She flashed into the space. Goudan saw her disappear out of thin air. After a brief moment of shock, he barked wildly in the direction she disappeared.
Qu Li in the space heard the dog barking, and was afraid that it would attract Qu Wenzhao and others, so he came out of the space again.
Goudan was extremely surprised and stared at her blankly.
Qu Li walked forward and touched its head, "Don't bark, or I won't give you sweet spiritual spring water to drink in the future."
"Woof~~"
The cry sounded a little aggrieved.
"Be good!" After threatening him, she took out a bowl of spiritual spring water and coaxed Goudan: "Drink it."
"Baji, baji~~"
Goudan was drinking happily, while Qu Li slipped into the space again, put on some makeup and disguised himself to look like Leonardo DiCaprio.
When she came out of the space again, Goudan was stunned again.
He walked around her and sniffed her scent, his bright eyes filled with confusion.
"Just wait at home!"
She suddenly felt that this dog was particularly cute, rubbed its head hard, and prepared to leave Wenzhaoyuan under the cover of night.
Unexpectedly, Goudan bit the corner of her robe tightly.
"Goudan." Qu Li said with a stern face.
Goudan tilted his head and woofed.
"You little brat!"
Qu Li had no choice but to take out the sleeping pills. Goudan staggered and refused to fall down.
She raised her slender fingers, poked the dog's head, and said, "Get some sleep. I'll be back before dawn!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Goudan fell to the ground with a plop.
She put Goudan on the small cushion on the bed, and then left Wenzhaoyuan under the cover of night.
The secret guards who were guarding in the dark thought she was Little Leo, and did not suspect anything because she received the princess's order to leave the house in the middle of the night.
It was almost curfew and the streets were unusually quiet. She didn't even need to ask anyone. She just followed the lights that were as bright as day and went straight to the red-light district and the gambling street.
The casino was crowded with people, the air was filled with the fragrance of cosmetics, and the noise was deafening.
The servant guarding the door saw that she was unfamiliar and asked, "Sir, is this your first time here?"
"Yes." Qu Li lowered his voice, "I'm short of money recently and want to try my luck."
"Our Jixiang Casino has the most rules! If you lose, you have to leave your finger behind if you cheat!"
Qu Li raised his eyebrows. "My father has always said that I was a child of luck! Maybe I can win a lot of money tonight!"
The servant was amused by her arrogant words, "Okay, if you can win, I'll call you daddy!"
People who came in one after another stopped to look at Qu Li. Some shook their heads, some sneered, and some thought she was probably a fool.
Qu Li didn't care about people's gazes at all, he just walked in with his back straight.
She observed for a while and finally came to the gambling table for guessing the size.
Many people at the door had heard her bold words before, and since there was little fun in the casino, they voluntarily followed her to this table.
Qu Li threw a coin and everyone looked at her with contempt.
But she didn't seem embarrassed at all, her eyes were clear, "What? Is there a rule that prohibits betting even a penny?"
"Of course not!" replied the dealer.
"That's it!"
She was also playing with another copper coin in her hand. The small copper coin seemed to be given life between her fingers, and it was dazzling as it danced quickly.
"Buy now!" the dealer shouted.
Those who placed larger bets stared closely at the dice cup in the dealer's hand, praying silently that the number they bet on would come out.
Qu Li was the calmest one, after all, it was just a copper coin.
The dealer looked at her again, picked up the dice cup and started shaking it.
When he put down the dice cup, even the breathing sounds around him became much lighter.
“Click—”
Qu Li's ears moved slightly, and he squinted his eyes and looked at the dealer.
The dealer felt that her gaze was as sharp as a blade, as if she could see through all his tricks, and cold sweat broke out on his back.
He raised his eyes, met Qu Li's meaningful gaze, and slowly opened the dice cup.
"Oh my god, a small one actually appeared?!"
"How is that possible?"
"Zhang Laosan had been going smoothly just now, winning quite a bit. Who could have predicted that he would lose this round? He lost everything!"
The gambler named Zhang Laosan had red eyes and was furious. He stood up suddenly and saw a big hand like a palm-leaf fan about to grab the dealer's collar. Immediately, several thugs rushed out from all directions, strangled his hands, and before he could shout, they blocked his mouth and dragged him out.
Everyone was shocked and calmed down for a while before continuing to place bets.
Qu Li defeated the enemy with a smaller force, and one copper coin became ten.
Just when everyone thought she would bet all ten and the coin in her hand, she actually threw out another coin.
"My dear boy, you were lucky just now. Why don't you bet all your coins?" A big man with a whisker looked puzzled.
"Does the Jixiang Casino have a rule that once you win, you have to bet all your money?"
"Not really, I just think that the young man is very lucky. If he had ten copper coins just now, according to the odds, wouldn't he have a hundred copper coins?" The big man said with a smile.
