A Cutie Spoiled by Her Seven Uncles-Chapter 543
Chapter 543: 543
Dugu Xiao’s words immediately provoked the displeasure of the gamblers.
"Who are you?"
"It’s none of your business! The little baby has money and can afford to play. If you can’t afford it, then scram!"
The gamblers united against the outsider, all of them eyeing the silver notes Xiaosuisui had produced.
"Little baby, do you still have more money? Bring some more out!"
Xiaosuisui was very obedient and indeed grabbed another handful. This time, not only did she pull out a handful of silver notes, but she also brought out the Phoenix Head Hairpin that the Empress Dowager had gifted her at the Double Ninth Festival Banquet.
Seeing the Phoenix Head Hairpin, everyone recognized it as a valuable item, their eyes glinting as they stared at Xiaosuisui’s hand.
Ji Youzhi snatched the Phoenix Head Hairpin from Xiaosuisui’s hand and whispered, "You can bet yourself and it won’t matter, but if you bet this, your life could be at risk."
Xiaosuisui, only half-understanding, allowed Ji Youzhi to take the Phoenix Head Hairpin.
Dugu Xiao was extremely anxious, berating Ji Youzhi in frustration, "Ji Youzhi, don’t you care at all? Set a good example! Do you realize what you’re doing, gambling with your niece like this? You’ll corrupt her! Are you trying to raise a little gambler, or what?"
The future little gambler, the Princess, was actually quite delighted by his words. She quickly clapped her small hands and exclaimed joyfully, "Be a gambler, be a gambler! I’m a little gambler!"
She looked absolutely adorable!
No! Actually, it was the pile of silver notes and silver in front of her that was truly enticing!
"Come on, little baby, let’s roll the dice together!"
Xiaosuisui nodded. "Okay, okay! Little gambler, old gambler, let’s roll the dice!"
Dugu Xiao sighed, looking heavenward in despair.
Ji Youzhi rubbed his forehead helplessly.
Xiaosuisui shook the dice cup vigorously, chanting, "Three of a kind, three of a kind, I want three of a kind!"
Everyone watching burst into laughter.
"HAHAHA! This little baby is hilarious! Does she think the dice are her children or something? She wants three of a kind, and they’ll just turn into three of a kind for her?"
Before the crowd’s laughter could die down, Han Qianshou stopped. He slammed the dice cup onto the table. As his hand pressed down firmly, the crowd’s boisterous laughter instantly ceased.
Han Qianshou’s expression was extremely grave. An inexplicable panic stirred in his heart because his usually sharp hearing seemed to have failed him; it was as if he could hear nothing, yet paradoxically, everything! Worse still, he couldn’t even be sure of the pips in his own dice cup, let alone discern the little baby’s unpredictable shaking!
Seeing the cold sweat beading on Han Qianshou’s forehead, the surrounding gamblers couldn’t help but look serious.
"What’s the matter, Mr. Han?" someone asked in a low voice.
Han Qianshou responded grimly, "The way this little baby shakes the dice cup... it resembles the long-lost Thousand-Handed Illusion."
"Thousand-Handed Illusion? Isn’t that the signature skill of Eunuch Qi, a master from the Imperial Palace? He hasn’t emerged in a long time."
The onlookers were puzzled, their gazes fixed on the little baby opposite them.
Xiaosuisui, unmindful of their stares, slammed her own dice cup down with a THUD.
"Should you reveal yours first, or shall I?" Xiaosuisui then turned to Ji Youzhi to confirm, "Seventh Uncle, if I get three of a kind, that means I win, right?"
Ji Youzhi nodded silently.
The Thousand-Handed Illusion... When did that old scoundrel meet Xiaosuisui? And he even taught her these techniques! This is unacceptable. I must go to the Palace and this to the Emperor. Even if it means tearing the Imperial Palace apart, I have to find that old scoundrel!
