The court is quiet, the melon people are making trouble!

"I've never seen you so diligent when studying!"

Chu Yunting made a breathy sound from his noseヾ(￣0￣)ノ:

"Can studying be compared to gambling?"

"Studying only requires the excitement of being beaten, but gambling not only has the excitement of being beaten, but also the risk of losing money!"

Chu Yunting spoke happily without even raising his head, and did not notice at all that the Fifth Prince and Zhu Feng beside him had already stood up straight!

If you want to know why he stood up straight, the reason is that he was caught by the gambling money!

The two of them now felt like they were back in the classroom where they were going to be beaten, and they were already stressed!

"If General Xu doesn't come back tomorrow morning, he won't be able to come back tomorrow night either!"

"Just come back tomorrow at noon! I'll make a killing!"

"Hehe! Don't mention it, except for a little discomfort from the climate during the war, everything else is pretty good!"

Xu Qingqing ignored the pleading looks from the Fifth Prince and Zhu Feng and reached out to pick up the paper on the table:

"Maybe they can come back today! Wouldn't that make us even happier?"

[Good fellow, they accept all the items, big or small! Even two copper coins can join in the fun!]

[I was wondering why the soldier was crying so miserably, it turns out he was waiting here!]

"Come back today? Impossible! The military supervisor may be powerful, but he's not...perverted...?!"

Chu Yunting, who was writing hard, raised his head slowly and stiffly until he met Xu Qingqing's half-smiley eyes and her outstretched hand:

"General Xu, ...you ...you ...you ...you are back?"

Xu Qingqing nodded with a smile and stretched her hand forward again:

"You're back! Give it to me!"

"What? General Xu? What do you want?"

Xu Qingqing rubbed her thumb on her index and middle fingers:

"Gambling money! If you don't give it to me, I'll go and tell General Gu! Gambling in the military camp will result in a beating!"

"Then we'll go back to the capital and announce it again, and confirm the reputation of you three as playboys. Let's see who can get the thrill of being beaten!"

The three of them were so shocked that they handed the gambling money and the list to Xu Qingqing without hesitation. Xu Qingqing simply glanced at them and said:

[Ouch! The Gu family army is quite poor. There are so many people but only two hundred taels in total, including ninety taels from Gu Rong and Gu Shen!]

[Tsk tsk! As expected of the soldiers led by Gu Zheng, they are all as straight as high-speed steel!]

The Fifth Prince and his two companions heaved a sigh of relief when they saw Xu Qingqing put the things away, but then they saw her stretch out her hand again!

The fifth prince spoke very cautiously, and even touched his body:( ′(00)`)

"W-what...what? There's really no more! I've given it all to you!"

Xu Qingqing stretched out her hand and swiped across the jade pendants of the three people one by one (^~^) with a bright and beautiful smile and a long drawn-out voice! :

"Hush money!"

The three men, who had lost both their wives and their troops, reluctantly took off the jade pendants from their waists and placed them in Xu Qingqing's hands.

Still remember to remind (???︿???):

"General Xu! We have paid you the hush money, but you must not tell anyone in the capital, please!"

Xu Qingqing nodded and took the jade pendant, and replied affirmatively:

"Don't worry! I will definitely not spread the news in the capital. I am a trustworthy person!"

The three of them finally breathed a sigh of relief.._:(′_`」 ∠):_ …:

Just don't complain. It's just a jade pendant and there are plenty of them at home!

Xu Qingqing walked not far away and took out a piece of paper with gambling money written on it from her purse and raised it gently:
