A Cutie Spoiled by Her Seven Uncles-Chapter 541: If my father doesn’t want your life, your Majesty’s adoptive father can
Chapter 541: Chapter 541: If my father doesn’t want your life, your Majesty’s adoptive father can
Before Dugu Xiao could finish his words, his mouth was abruptly covered by Ji Youzhi.
"You’d better swallow those nonsensical words. If Suisui hears any of your ridiculous gibberish, believe it or not, I’ll break you to pieces!"
Ji Youzhi’s intervention made Dugu Xiao obediently shut his mouth right away.
At the gambling table, Xiaosuisui and the old gambler each grabbed a dice cup and started shaking.
"The baby girl’s got some style shaking dice! This old man almost misjudged you today. Little girl, do you want to open first, or should I?"
The gamblers initially thought the baby girl, who appeared to be only three or four years old, probably couldn’t even hold the dice cup steady, let alone shake the dice. To their surprise, not only did the little girl pick up the dice cup, but she shook it quite impressively!
"Pretty sister taught me that children should respect the old and cherish the young. Since you’re so old, I’ll let you go first!" Her words were like poking a hornet’s nest.
"Does this baby girl even know how to talk? Who are you calling old? I’m still young! Younger than your father, even!"
Xiaosuisui blinked and asked, "Sir, have you met my father?"
The gambler shook his head. "I am a man of prestige; how could I have met every Tom, Dick, and Harry out there?"
"If you haven’t met my father, how do you know you’re younger than him?"
"Hah! This baby girl sure knows how to argue! Who’s your father? Call him over. Let me meet him, and then we’ll know who’s younger, me or your dad, won’t we?"
Xiaosuisui nodded gently at his words and said, "Makes sense!"
Hearing this, Ji Youzhi felt alarms go off in his heart and quickly covered her mouth. "Little Ancestor! Please don’t say anything reckless! Just play dice, and don’t talk about anything unrelated to it, got it?"
Xiaosuisui blinked, looking a bit wronged.
She had forgotten that her words had side effects!
"MHM! I understand."
The old gambler was upset at Ji Youzhi’s action. "Hey! Young man, what’s the big idea? Always covering people’s mouths—what’s wrong with you?"
Ji Youzhi shot the old gambler a cold look and said coolly, "If you want to play with my niece, then just play. Don’t say unnecessary things. If she really does summon her father here, I won’t be able to save you!"
These words from Ji Youzhi undeniably enraged the old gambler.
"Hah! You’re an interesting young fellow! What are you trying to do, scare me? Let me tell you, I don’t scare easily! So what if she summons her father? Don’t tell me he’s some kind of prince, is he? You think he can take my life, or what?"
The gambler’s words sent the entire gambling house into roaring laughter. It was clear that the few men with the baby girl weren’t regulars in such establishments. They were truly unlucky to have run into the veteran cheat, Han Qianshou, today.
Han Qianshou—the name itself, "Thousand Hands," hinted at his reputation—was the most notorious cheat in the gambling circles. His strategy was to talk, to fish for information, to enrage his opponent, and then, when they were distracted, to cheat!
Han Qianshou’s eyes lit up at the sight of the pile of silver fragments and the dozens of silver banknotes, each worth taels, in front of the baby girl. When the dice cup had landed earlier, he had already roughly discerned her roll by the sound of the dice.
He was deliberately saying all this now just to make the little girl and those with her focus on their anger, giving him an opportunity to cheat.
Everyone in the gambling house knew this trick of his; only Xiaosuisui and her companions were in the dark. She was still going along with Han Qianshou’s provocations.
"My father can’t take your life, but my godfather, His Majesty the Emperor, can!"
"The hell?"
Upon hearing this, Han Qianshou couldn’t help but dig at his ear. The gambling house was noisy, and he hadn’t clearly heard what the little girl said!
