Shengjing Noble

"If you take over the key to the treasury again and use the dowry to subsidize it, wouldn't that undermine his literary character and masculinity? Mother, you should have helped him and the first lady to be so noble a person."

Lu Wanjun nodded thoughtfully: "You are right. The more you do, the more mistakes you make. Liu Ruyan has been idle for so many years and has been doing nothing. From now on, it is her turn to do it."

Su Lanyin curled her lips in satisfaction, the slap was not in vain!

"Mom, please take a rest first. Your daughter will go back to her room to read."

"Go ahead, don't look at it for too long and hurt your eyes."

"Yes."

Su Lanyin came out of the house and the door closed behind her.

Bathing in the warmth of the sun made her feel relaxed and comfortable.

Standing on the steps and watching the servants busy in the yard, her hands slowly tightened in her sleeves.

In her previous life, this group of dogs and slaves ate the monthly salary and rewards given by her mother, but secretly informed Liu Ruyan of the situation.

They are all traitors, no one can be spared!

Just as she was thinking about it, she heard footsteps getting closer. She turned her head and saw that it was Nanny Li running towards her in a panic.

"Mammy, why are you so nervous?"

Nanny Li looked anxious: "Miss, it's bad, it's bad! Ming'er is trapped in the gambling house, and he wants us to pay money to redeem him."

Hearing this, Su Lanyin remained calm and indifferent, without any panic at all.

She thought about it and realized that at this time in her previous life, her fourth brother Su Shengming had indeed become addicted to gambling.

But fortunately, at present he only knows how to play small games like dice, so he hasn't gotten too deep into the trap and hasn't lost much money.

If he could be pulled back in time, perhaps his tragic fate of being turned into a human pig in his previous life could be changed.

Thinking of this, Su Lanyin whispered, "Mammy, take good care of Auntie. I will go find Fourth Brother myself."

Nanny Li frowned and said worriedly, "Young lady, you are a girl, how can you enter a dirty place like a gambling house? If it gets out..."

"Don't worry, I'll be fine."

Su Lanyin's eyes were determined, and she had already made a plan in her mind.

Nanny Li hesitated for a moment and said hurriedly, "It's too dangerous for you to go alone, young lady. I remember there's a skilled fighter in the backyard, let him go with you."

"Is the person reliable?"

"He has received favors from my aunt and is a loyal and honest man."

"Tell him to wait for me at the back door."

"Yes!"

Su Lanyin went back to her room, changed into men's clothes, and left Suiyuexuan while no one was around.

As soon as she left, a figure headed towards Jinxiu Hall where Liu Ruyan lived.

……

back door.

The lanterns hanging on the eaves emitted a dim light, and the night wind was particularly cool.

Su Lanyin, dressed in a dark brown men's suit, lowered her head and stepped out of the door. When she raised her eyes, she saw a tall and burly man standing under the light.

Hearing the footsteps, the man turned around and met Su Lanyin's inquiring gaze.

He was dressed in a grey coarse linen shirt, with a calm expression on his face, and his features were handsome and heroic. Overall, he looked quite decent.

But...why did she feel that this person looked familiar?

She remembered that she almost drowned in the water that day, but fortunately someone pulled her to the shore.

This was the face I saw in my confusion!

"What's your name?"

"Minions have no names."

The man had a low voice, and he nodded slightly as he spoke, with his brows lowered.

"No name?" Su Lanyin was a little surprised.

She vaguely remembered that in her previous life she had seen this man doing odd jobs in the backyard from afar, but she had never spoken a word to him, so she didn't know he didn't even have a name.

"How do others call you?"

"I am an orphan. I fled to Shengjing when I was twelve and was taken in by Madam Lu. They all call me Black Slave."

Su Lanyin chuckled and asked calmly, "In that case, how about I call you Ah Mo from now on?"

"Thank you for the name, young lady." A'mo lowered his head, his tone sincere.

"Amo, how good are your skills?" She looked him up and down with a hint of inquiry in her eyes.

Ah Mo cupped his hands and said humbly, "Although I am not as good as a martial arts master, I am also very strong. Aunt Lu has been kind to me, and you are her daughter. If you are in danger, I will protect you with my life."

Su Lanyin raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "I don't like to listen to sweet words, I only look at actions."

The man was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and stopped talking, as if replacing everything with silence.

"follow me."

She didn't care and strode towards the privately-owned gambling house.

In the previous life, Su Yongcheng and the old lady both despised illegitimate children for being useless and not as good as legitimate children who were both talented and beautiful.

Lu Wanjun was unwilling to see her child being outdone, so she found the strictest teacher in Shengjing to discipline him.

Su Shengming was a lively person, always a little naughty. At first, he was very afraid of being spanked by the teacher, and he was also afraid that he would not learn well and make his mother sad.

But later, Liu Ruyan arranged for a gambling-addicted servant to be his study companion.

Every time he was scolded by the teacher and asked to reflect on his mistakes facing the wall, the servant would speak ill of the teacher and encourage him to skip school and rebel.

Su Shengming was extremely gullible and believed everything others said. As a result, he was led into the gambling house by the servant.

In the previous life, Su Lanyin had tried to persuade him, but as a person addicted to gambling, he would not listen to any persuasion.

No matter you threaten him or beg him, no matter how well he promises on the surface, he will turn around and go gambling again when you are not prepared.

When he thought he had just fallen into it and had a chance to start over, it was already hopeless.

Because he had no chance of turning the tables.

This small gambling house was the beginning of Su Shengming's tragic fate and the first pair of hands that pushed him into the abyss.

Su Lanyin stood in front of the door and winked at A'mo beside her.

The man immediately understood what he meant and kicked him.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the heavy door of the gambling house fell to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

"Who are you? How dare you cause trouble on my territory? You are tired of living!"

A ferocious-looking man with scars all over his face walked out, followed by a dozen equally strong thugs, all holding sticks.

A'mo stood there without any retreat, with almost no expression on his cold face. He just stood in front of Su Lanyin.

It was not until he was pushed to the side by a slender, white hand that the coldness in his eyes relaxed a little.

"Sixth...Master."

He wanted to say something to persuade her, but stopped himself.

"It doesn't matter."

Su Lanyin stepped in without any fear. Instead, she was calmer than anyone else.

She looked at the scarred man, not fearing his fierce gaze at all, and asked coldly, "I heard that you have detained my fourth brother?"

"Fourth brother?"

The scarred man's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he tightened the knife in his hand again and again.

"Are you talking about the fourth young master of the Su family?"

"Correct."

"He owes me money!" the scarred man said confidently.

"How many?"

"Thirty taels."

Su Lanyin looked indifferent as she looked around.

The annual income of these people is far less than thirty taels, which is enough to show how fat a fish Su Shengming is to them.
