After reading my mind, Daddy, why don't you smile?

There was a huge crowd of people at the entrance of "Dice King".

Shangguan Qingwan was worried, so she followed Shangguan Qingyue.

From Shangguan Qingyue's inner voice, Shangguan Qingwan learned that her third brother might be in the gambling house, which was a mixed bag. If her father knew that she brought her sister here, he would definitely beat her to death.

So Shangguan Qingwan disguised herself and Shangguan Qingyue as two servants, dressed in rags, and sneaked out of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

Arriving at the entrance of the gambling house, Shangguan Qingwan found the gambling house manager and said, "I want to see your young master!"

[That’s right! I want to see my third brother! ]

The steward glanced at the two of them from head to toe and saw that Shangguan Qingwan was a teenager and was carrying a tiny child that was not even as tall as his knees.

Although the two of them are good-looking, especially the older one, with red lips and white teeth, looks more like a girl. She has been in charge of welcoming and seeing off guests for many years and has an unusually sharp eye.

Seeing that the two of them looked likable, the steward's attitude improved a little, and he asked with a puzzled look in his heart, "What do you want from my young master?"

Shangguan Qingwan was still unsure that this young master was her third brother, so she lied, "We admire your great name and have come to see you!"

When the steward heard this, he waved his hand at them and said, "No, those who came today are all admirers of my young master. If you want to see my young master, please participate in the life and death game. My young master will be waiting upstairs at that time."

"Life and death situation?"

[We will participate! I have prepared the money! ]

Shangguan Qingyue raised his bulging purse with great effort. Shangguan Qingwan said, "Then let's join this life-and-death game!"

She took Shangguan Qingyue's purse and threw it into the steward's arms with pride, "Here's the silver!"

After saying that, he snorted and put his hands behind his back. Seeing this, the little guy also raised his head high and showed off.

The manager was surprised; he didn't expect the two children to come prepared.

He opened his purse, counted the banknotes and silver inside, and then said in a good-tempered manner: "My two young masters, this silver...is not enough!"

【What? Not enough? 】

Shangguan Qingyue widened his eyes.

Shangguan Qingwan snatched the purse and asked in surprise, "Two thousand six hundred taels is not enough?"

After saying that, Shangguan Qingwan felt the little guy pulling her clothes.

[No, no! It's two thousand six hundred and five taels! ]

"Oh! Two thousand six hundred and five taels!" Shangguan Qingwan corrected.

The manager pointed to the notice at the entrance of the gambling house and said, "Young gentlemen, please read this. Ten thousand taels, two wins out of three games."

Shangguan Qingyue was illiterate, so he looked at Shangguan Qingwan for confirmation.

Then she saw Shangguan Qingwan nodded at her.

"Yue'er, it's really ten thousand taels..."

“It’s so expensive…”

When the two heard the bad news, they immediately drooped their heads like wheat after a heavy rain, no longer having the pride and arrogance they had just now.

I went home frustrated.

[This is all my belongings...]

[There's still so much left... Where can I get it...]

Shangguan Qingyue suddenly remembered something, his eyes lit up, and then he frowned, looking reluctant.

[That golden apple is what I want to give to my mother...]

[If I sell it, my mother will be gone...]

[But if I don’t sell it, I won’t be able to raise enough money to save my third brother…]

Shangguan Qingyue struggled all the way, but finally gritted his teeth and gave up reluctantly.

study.

Suddenly there was a loud noise at the door.

Shangguan Shu looked up.

The little girl was holding the golden apple that was bigger than her head. She was probably exhausted and fell to the ground with a "bang".

Shangguan Shu was just about to stand up and pick him up, but the little guy didn't cry or make a fuss. He stood up by himself, patted the dirt off his body with his little hands, then picked up the big golden apple and walked towards him.

Shangguan Qingyue placed the golden apple at Shangguan Shu's feet, pointed at the golden apple, then pointed at Shangguan Shu, then took out his purse, and finally pointed at himself.

[Daddy, I'll give you the golden apple, can you give me some silver? ]

Shangguan Shu was puzzled. How could such a young kid be so short of money?

He held Shangguan Qingyue on his lap and asked, "Yue'er, what do you want so much silver for?"

【I want to give my mother a gift! 】

Since she couldn't give the golden apple, she would find her third brother and give him to her mother. Her mother would definitely be happier. She was so smart!

Shangguan Shu thought that this kid was really trying hard to win favor.

Shangguan Shu originally didn't want to pawn the little girl's things, but he was afraid that she would secretly pawn the golden apple out of the house. This was his mother's dowry!

Shangguan Shu compromised and asked, "How many do you want to be?"

Shangguan Qingyue made a gesture.

"One thousand taels?"

Shangguan Qingyue shook his head, [Ten thousand taels!]

Now Shangguan Shu was really sure that Shangguan Qingyue was hiding something from him.

After a moment's hesitation, he actually took out a silver note worth 10,000 taels, folded it several times, and stuffed it into the little fellow's purse.

"Here is ten thousand taels. Take it and don't lose it."

Shangguan Qingyue didn't expect Shangguan Shu to be so happy. A smile immediately broke out on her droopy little face.

【Thank you, Daddy! 】

Shangguan Shu pinched Shangguan Qingyue's chubby little face lovingly.

"Okay, let's go play!"

Shangguan Qingyue ran away with a thumping sound, and his footsteps sounded very pleasant.

After Shangguan Qingyue left, Shangguan Shu called his personal guard, "Bao Yan, go follow the young lady and see what she is going to do!"

Bao Yan didn't quite believe his ears for a moment. Who was he following?

Miss?

A two-year-old kid?

What can she do?

He has a gold medal guard following a tiny guy?

Do I still need to feed her?

Bao Yan thought carefully about what he had done wrong recently and why the prince punished him like this?

Shangguan Shu saw that he didn't move, so he raised his eyes and glared at him.

Bao Yan was shocked, and all his messy thoughts disappeared immediately. He quickly said, "I obey your command!"

at the same time.

It wasn't just Shangguan Qingyue who didn't have enough silver, there was also Xiaodongzi, who was ordered to knock Jiang Youhou unconscious and take him back.

It was extremely difficult to knock someone unconscious and take him away in broad daylight, not to mention that he couldn't get in and couldn't see Jiang Youhou!

Xiao Dongzi had no choice but to return to Zhongcui Palace and told Zhao Yao the truth. Zhao Yao scolded Xiao Dongzi a few words and then gave him a silver note for ten thousand taels.

"Take it!"

Xiao Dongzi kowtowed repeatedly, "Thank you for your consideration, Your Highness!"

"With this ten thousand taels, I will definitely be able to meet Jiang Youhou and bring him back to report!"

"Go away!" Zhao Yao felt very upset.

The Dice King was not close to the palace, and Xiao Dongzi could not ride a horse, and there was no carriage to sit in, so he could only run back and forth. This round trip took two hours!

An hour later, Xiao Dongzi returned to Dice King panting, paid the gambling money, and was invited by the manager to a private room upstairs.

Just then, Master Wugen came out.

In just half a cup of tea, he lost all the 10,000 taels of silver he earned from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion and the Prince's Mansion...

That little kid is really not simple, he underestimated him!

Wugen Mage was extremely regretful. Give him another chance! Give him another chance, he will definitely be able to beat him!

But now his wallet is cleaner than his face.

He will go to the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion tomorrow to ask whether the pig demon will come again.
