A Cutie Spoiled by Her Seven Uncles-Chapter 539: Winning All the Money from the Gambling House
Chapter 539: Chapter 539: Winning All the Money from the Gambling House
Xiaosuisui blinked her eyes and surveyed her surroundings, pointing at a few tables where dice games were playing out before announcing, "Isn’t this just a dice game?"
During her days accompanying the Empress Dowager in the Cining Palace, she had happened upon a few young Eunuchs playing dice while she was wandering around. She quickly picked up the game and never once lost!
"Hey! She knows her stuff! Could she be the daughter of that old Gambler?"
The leader of the thugs couldn’t resist laughing and promptly asked.
"Whose daughter is this? You should take her home. If she gets into trouble here, they’ll sell her off to a Brothel!"
"HEH HEH! Mr. Li, why do you care whose daughter she is? If the girl knows how to play, let her have a go."
A Gambler, his eyes fixed on the purse hanging from Xiaosuisui’s waist, asked, "Little lady, do you have any silver on you?"
Xiaosuisui didn’t have much, but she did have silver. Ever since she crawled through a dog hole, her aunt had been stuffing silver into her purse. Though it wasn’t much, mostly loose silver, her savings added up over time.
"Of course, I have silver!"
Without hesitation, Xiaosuisui took out a handful of loose silver from her purse.
The sight immediately made the eyes of the Gamblers shine.
"Come, little lady, how about a game between us? I have silver too. If I win, your silver becomes mine. If I lose... your silver becomes mine all the same. What do you say?"
Upon hearing the proposal, Xiaosuisui nodded her head. Last time in the Imperial Palace, when she started playing with a few young Eunuchs, Nanny Xiao promptly found her and took her back. Since then, she hadn’t been able to find those Eunuchs to play again!
Xiaosuisui had no idea that her unintended participation in a simple dice game had infuriated the Empress Dowager, resulting in a thorough investigation of all the Gamblers in the Imperial Palace. Anyone remotely connected to gambling was sent to do hard labor.
Now, when Xiaosuisui found someone inviting her to play dice, she was delighted and promptly forgot about defending Zhao Fei.
When Ji Youzhi and Dugu Xiao walked in with Zhao Fei, what they saw was Xiaosuisui standing on a low stool with her hands on her hips, a pile of silver before her, as she slammed the table authoritatively, "You go first, or I go first?"
Dugu Xiao and Ji Youzhi’s eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets, and Zhao Fei blinked, rubbing his eyes in disbelief.
"Prin...Princess..."
"Enough with your chatter, just watch!"
Ji Youzhi interrupted Zhao Fei and stood next to Xiaosuisui with his arms crossed, ready to watch the show unfold.
"Uncle Seven! We’re playing dice! Do you want to join?"
Seeing her Uncle Seven, Xiaosuisui instantly transformed into a sweet little girl and asked Ji Youzhi in her most innocent voice.
Ji Youzhi just smiled at her. "Uncle Seven won’t play, you go ahead." He then whispered, "You just enjoy the game. If you lose, it’s on Uncle Seven. If you win, give the winnings to your foster father for disaster relief. We’ll use it to help the homeless people in Yunhang!"
Upon hearing this, Xiaosuisui’s eyes sparkled. She waved her hand and declared confidently, "Then I must win more and take all the money from this Gambling House to help the common people!"
Ji Youzhi laughed softly.
He’d been waiting for this reply!
The Li Family is no good,
Ji Youzhi fumed internally.
They actually acknowledged Li Yanyan’s family into the Clan and treat them like treasures! PAH!
He hadn’t dealt with them earlier because there was no opportunity. Now, the desire to deal with them felt like heavenly will. He had just brought his precious little darling out to find a box, and they ended up walking straight into the Li Family’s Gambling House. If this wasn’t fate, what was it?
At that moment, Ji Youzhi seemed to have forgotten that Xiaosuisui had just mentioned Ji Youran’s medicine box was here!
