The owner Chen Sheng was anxiously looking for had actually arrived long ago, but he did not show up. Instead, he and the real gambling house owner were together with the second floor of the inn opposite to watch the grand occasion in front of the gambling house.

The owner of this Sifang Gambling House is Xu Junfa, a middle-aged man with a big belly.

His hometown is in Yangzhou. He started his tea and silk business with his grandfather and saved up a big and small business.

Three years ago, under Qi Yue's operation, the Xu family became an imperial merchant in one fell swoop and completed the carp leaping on the dragon gate. Although they were still merchants, their class status was improved by a great level.

Almost all the tea and silk needed by the Interior Affairs Office of the Palace were purchased from him. This business alone made Xu Junfa a lot of money every year.

Moreover, Xu Junfa's youngest daughter became the eldest prince's concubine last year.

As Xu Junfa's status rose, he also had a high position. With the eldest prince as his backing, the Ministry of Internal Affairs continued to give him a little profit on the basis of the original basis, so that he could make more money.

Of course, one-third of the money Xu Jun earned should be respected to the eldest prince.

Most of the remaining ones are divided, a small part is used by himself, and the other part is given to his real master for leap.

Having said that, Xu Junfa looked at the gambling house door and was almost blocked by boxes. He couldn't help but smack his tongue and rushed to Qi Yue,

"Master, that's two million taels of silver. I really didn't expect a down-and-out young lady to stir up such a big storm.

This Gu Xi is also miserable. She was the most talented woman in the capital and the most beautiful woman. She was praised by countless people. Once she was in a downturn, she was suppressed by so many powerful people and humiliated her with her marriage. Haha..."

"Silly!" Qi Yue looked at him, "Where did you see that this is humiliating Gu Xi?"

Xu Junfa was scolded and asked in surprise.

"Isn't it? These people bet on so much money, just forcing Gu Xi to break the engagement and ask the Lu family to cancel the marriage? What is this not humiliation?!

But if they succeed, our gambling house will be compensated."

"What I saw was exactly the opposite. These people were all supporting Gu Xi." Qi Yue's mouth curled up a smile full of interest.

"I underestimated this Miss Gu before. It's interesting, interesting, and so interesting."

Qi Yue felt that he underestimated Gu Xi's influence.

He just started to make a whim and turned Gu Xi's marriage into a gambling game, but he didn't expect to get unexpected joy.

Just a break-up can put the top powerful people in the capital in one game to play with each other. How can he not be happy!

Even Qibao Pavilion and Medicine King Valley have come forward to support Gu Xi and bet on huge sums.

This also surprised him and was very surprised.

The more capable Gu Xi is, the stronger his heart will be when he wants to conquer her. It's really a long time since I met such a prey that excited him.

"Master, how should this situation end? If Gu Xi takes the initiative to break off the engagement successfully, we will be compensated. The eldest prince knows and will definitely not let me go."

Xu Junfa didn't find it interesting. He didn't care whether these people were humiliating or supporting Gu Xi, nor did he see the storm of the court in Qi Yue's eyes.

He was worried, what should I do if I really had to pay so much money?

After all, if they cheat, not only will they offend these powerful people to death, but also Qibao Pavilion and Medicine King Valley!

He would rather offend the powerful than offend Qibao Pavilion and Yaowang Valley.

"Do you think the eldest prince has the courage to eat all the two million taels of silver? Such a huge sum of money is just to make the Duke of Zhenguo disagree with the cancellation of the engagement. Isn't it very simple?"

Qi Yue's eyes shone with excitement and he said with a smile.

When Xu Junfa heard this, he still shook his head worriedly.

"The master is right. The eldest prince's grandfather's family is the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. With this relationship, the Duke of Zhenguo will not cancel the marriage, which is the matter of the eldest prince's words.

However, the young man could not be sure whether the eldest prince dared to swallow this huge sum of money. After all, not only would he offend the powerful, but also the Qibao Pavilion and the Medicine King Valley."

It is very likely that the eldest prince will abandon him at this time and ask him to pay the huge sum of money.

"How can you know if you don't try it? You go and report to the eldest prince and ask him for his opinion." Qi Yue waved his hand and asked him to do it.

After all, it is a huge sum of two million, and the eldest prince will not give it up easily.

Moreover, the Lu family is unwilling to cancel the marriage, so everyone also praises the Lu family for their affection and righteousness and will not abandon Gu Xi. What's wrong with it?

This time, the Lu family occupied the moral high ground.

Even if these powerful people and Qibao Pavilion and Medicine King Valley support Gu Xi, they cannot end up attacking just because they lose money.

Gu Xi also went out early in the morning.

She had learned from Dou Pengfei that Qing'er had a cold and had not been cured. Thinking that she had time now, she went to visit her.

However, she waited in front of the Dou Mansion for a while, but the concierge replied that his lady was not feeling well and was not suitable for meeting guests, so she asked her to invite her back.

The Dou family didn't even come out to see her, so they just sent her away.

"Let's go." Gu Xi turned around and returned to the carriage, without any neglect.

But Xia Zhi felt very distressed.

"Miss, the Dou family is too much. Their faces are so ugly when they change their minds when they see the wind. In the past, the lady always welcomes her with a smile, but now she doesn't even let the door in."

Xia Zhi's face was flushed with anger and she was whispering to the lady.

"Ms. Dou is a person who likes to praise and stumble down. Qing'er is sick and unable to make decisions. It's normal for her to treat me like this."

Gu Xi yawned, looking lazy, not caring about authenticity,

"I was not very considerate and should send a visitation first, so I would not be rejected."

"We haven't used a visit before." Xia Zhi pouted.

"You said it was the past." Gu Xi raised her hand and gave her a head breakdown, asking her to say less, which made her feel a headache.

It's not a big deal.

Such a degree of humiliation and cold treatment could not cause any turmoil in her heart.

Leaving from Dou Mansion, Gu Xi said, "Go to Sifang Gambling."

Her eyelids were twitching wildly, and she felt a vague feeling that this bet would probably go wrong.

A quarter of an hour later, the carriage came to Changning Street where Sifang Gambling House was located. However, before he could get close to Sifang Gambling House, Yu Shu stopped the carriage and rushed to Gu Xi,

"Miss, something must have happened in the gambling house ahead. There were a lot of carriages and crowds, so our carriage could not be passed."

When Gu Xi heard this, she sighed softly. Sure enough, something happened. No, it must have something to do with her.

"Then get out of the car and walk over." Gu Xi took Xia Zhi from the carriage.

The two walked through the crowded and noisy crowd and approached the entrance of the gambling house.

Along the way, they heard discussions coming from the crowd, either surprised or excited.

"I heard that the money I bet on now is as high as two million taels. It's so scary. I've never heard of so much money, but I saw it today!"

"Haha, if Miss Gu breaks the engagement successfully, the gambling house will be compensated to death! No, you can't afford to sell shops and land!"

"Support Miss Gu, I also want to bet ten taels of silver and drink some soup!"
