My Lord, the princess doesn't want you anymore.

An Ran looked up at the golden words "Happy Casino" with a puzzled look on her face. "Master, didn't you say you would take me to see what the immortal book is?"

"Yes, that's what the teacher said!"

“But, this is a casino!”

Mei Xueer didn't answer and pulled her to go in.

"Miss Mei, Miss An!" a timid voice.

When Mei Xueer turned her head, she saw a young girl with a maid standing in front of her, looking somewhat at a loss.

She is Liu Piaopiao, the second daughter of Marquis Zhongde’s Mansion, and the half-sister of Liu Damazi.

Although she had conflicts with Liu Feifei several times, Mei Xueer did not dislike Liu Piaopiao. At least she was a normal person, just too cowardly.

But today, she looked a little haggard, as if she had aged several years.

An Ran also recognized this Liu Piaopiao, "Second Miss Liu, are you shopping?"

Liu Piaopiao nodded, "Isn't it New Year's Day? I thought I'd come out and see what fun gadgets there are. My sister likes these things."

Hearing this, Mei Xueer felt that she had asked for it by being bullied in the mansion. But this was someone else's family affair, and the two of them were not close enough to speak their minds, so she just smiled.

But An Ran was very straightforward. "Who in Beijing doesn't know what kind of person your sister is? Why do you have to be so humble to please her? Do you think that if you please her, she will be nice to you?"

Liu Piaopiao moved her lips, as if she wanted to say something but stopped herself, looking very pitiful.

Mei Xueer quickly pulled An Ran aside and said softly, "You are the only one who talks too much!"

She turned to look at Liu Piaopiao, "Well, please make yourself at ease, Second Miss. We still have some things to do."

Liu Piaopiao nodded again, bowed, and walked away.

At this moment, Gu Jia came out from the casino. "Hey Miss Mei, why didn't you say hello before you came? Happy New Year, Happy New Year! Come in quickly and play."

Gu Jia's unique accent made Liu Piaopiao, who had already turned around, look back.

But with just this one glance, her expression changed immediately.

She seemed to have been greatly stimulated by something. Her face suddenly turned pale, her lips moved, but she could not say anything, and even her body shook.

Liu Piaopiao quickly turned around, covered her chest, and breathed heavily.

It was not until Gu Jia and Mei Xueer and her group entered the casino and she could no longer see them that she calmed herself down.

Liu Piaopiao looked up at the plaque that read "Happy Casino", then turned around and walked away quickly.

The maid Huamei who was following behind her quickly caught up and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter? What happened?"

Liu Piaopiao paused, looked at Huamei, and calmed down, "That shopkeeper Gu is an old friend!"

"Ah!" Huamei quickly covered her mouth, "Really?"

Liu Piaopiao lowered her voice and said, "It can't be wrong. He was a secret guard back then, so it's normal that you didn't recognize him. But, I will definitely not make a mistake."

"I'll check it out right away." Huamei took a deep breath, "Don't worry, I will check this Happy Casino thoroughly."

Liu Piaopiao nodded and said, "Let's go quickly. If you stay here for too long, be careful not to reveal any flaws."

Huamei came forward again, "It looks like I won't be able to see the contact person today."

"You should quickly find a way to find out why we were delayed on the road. You also know that I have not had that medicine for several days." Liu Piaopiao lowered her head and said in a low voice.

"It shouldn't be a big problem if we stop taking it for a few days. Besides, taking too much of that medicine will harm your body."

Liu Piaopiao's eyes suddenly became cold, completely devoid of her usual cowardice and timidity, "What does it matter if I'm injured or not? I've finally waited until now, I don't want to make any mistakes, I want to be absolutely sure - and I'll say it again, no matter in front of others or behind their backs, if you want to call me Second Miss, you have to call yourself a slave, make it a habit!"

"Yes, second lady."

Looking at the tables and chairs in the casino, Mei Xueer actually felt as if she was in another world.

That night, her heart was bleeding. She fled from Prince Jing's Mansion and stayed here for more than half a month.

At that time, her despair, sadness, and heartache were like a blunt knife cutting into her heart.

Even so, she still held on to a glimmer of fantasy until she saw through this man completely.

Her heart also died.

Cui Hongjing will never become the Cui Jing in my dreams.

Now I think about it, how stupid and ridiculous it was that I, a medical genius from the future, was played around and deceived by a scumbag from ancient times.

Fortunately, all this is over.

Those painful memories will never fade away.

But when you think about it again, there is no need to feel sad.

But no longer feeling heartbroken doesn't mean you'll give up.

Once she has the chance, she will definitely let him know what it means to live a life worse than death!

"Master!" Seeing Mei Xueer's strange expression, An Ran called out worriedly.

Nanxing pulled her sleeve and shook his head gently at her.

Nanxing knew that the young lady must be feeling bad at this moment.

Gu Jia coughed a few times awkwardly, "Ms. Mei, how about we talk somewhere else? The teahouse is next door."

"Okay!" Mei Xueer said immediately.

There is really nothing worth remembering here.

She still remembered that someone had looked at her from behind here, so much so that Wen Bing, who was accompanying her, always thought that she had been raped that night.

After Wen Bing parked the car and came in, he kept staring at Gu Jia secretly.

Wen Jia told him that he suspected the man that night was Gu Jia, and asked him to be careful.

Later, Wen Jia also secretly investigated Gu Jia, but the information he obtained was very limited.

This man, who is nearly forty years old and has never married, only came to the capital ten years ago.

His business is very big, far more than just the few casinos, teahouses, theaters, etc.

He is the boss behind many of the booming shops in Beijing.

In addition, in recent years, his secret network of relationships has extended in all directions. With his own efforts, he has established private trade exchanges between Dazhen and Xiling, Nanyue, Dongbin and other countries. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the richest man in the capital.

However, I couldn’t find out where this person came from or what he did in the past.

It was like he appeared out of nowhere ten years ago.

Such a person must be very dangerous.

But Mei Xueer has her own plans.

"It means that he approached me for a purpose. I want to see what he is going to do. It's just acting. If this play suddenly stops, won't it make him suspicious? He sneaked into my room that night, but didn't hurt me. Afterwards, he even knelt down in front of me. Jia, tell me, why did this happen? If I don't figure out these doubts, I will really be worried every day."

Mei Xueer concealed her emotions, walked into the teahouse, and looked around like a senior leader inspecting: "Well, not bad, there is a platform over there... We can also set up a few private rooms here... Can we change this painting... Can we rearrange these tables and chairs... Can we change the name of this teahouse..."

No matter what Mei Xueer said, Gu Jia nodded.

Mei Xueer looked at him and said, "I was just talking nonsense. You are a businessman, you are more professional than me."

"Come on, Miss Mei, I think you are very professional. Just do as you say..."

"Look at these storybooks..." When Mei Xueer handed the books that Gu Jia had sorted out, such as "A Dream of Red Mansions", "Water Margin" and "Journey to the West", to An Ran who was standing beside her, she suddenly realized that An Ran was missing.

Mei Xueer was shocked. The parents of the students had just given her so many gifts, but she ruined the students in the blink of an eye.

"Don't worry, Princess. I know where she is." Wen Bing said quickly.

An Ran is at the Happy Casino.

When Mei Xueer found her anxiously, she was standing on a chair with her sleeves rolled up, gambling enthusiastically with a group of men.

"Kill all...hahaha, take out the money, take out the money...haha, you are just a sheep, you want to beat me...just make the bet and leave it..."

An Ran yelled so heart-wrenchingly that her voice became hoarse, with spit flying all over her mouth.

It seems that the former "most talented woman in Dazhen" has found a new world in life here.

Mei Xueer lowered her eyebrows, looking at the stack of notebooks in her hand that would be remembered forever, and then at An Ran's unusually unrestrained appearance. She felt that accepting this disciple might become the biggest stain of her life.

This apprentice will ruin his master's reputation for life.

On the way back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Mei Xueer deliberately stopped by the Pig Intestine Restaurant to take a look.

She didn't rush to get off the carriage, but just lifted the curtain and looked out.

Compared with the crowded guests around, the pig intestines were simply an outlier because there was not a single customer in the store.

"Stop! Wait for me here." After the carriage passed the pig intestines, Mei Xueer got off the carriage alone and turned back with Wen Bing.

On New Year's Eve, A Zi said that the restaurant owner had returned to Beijing.

She couldn't wait to see who this mysterious boss, this Qiu Shang, was.
