The lady of Chongxi has supernatural powers and is favored by the powerful official

With the help of someone with ulterior motives, everyone in Beijing hyped up this incident.

Someone can take it off directly.

Several wealthy families who had conflicts with Nangong Yu began to look for their own homes to check whether Nangong Yu was really going to die.

Some people secretly checked the emperor's reaction from the palace. Some said that the emperor was in a bad mood today and would get angry over trivial matters.

Some people also said that Marquis Changyong went to see his wife to discuss something, but was driven out by her.

Some people also said that the courtyard where Nangong Yu lived was now guarded by his guards in blue clothes. No one was allowed to enter easily. Only Yang Ma, who was beside the Marquis' wife, came out crying and returned to the Yang family. Then, she brought the old doctor Yang from the Yang family to the Marquis of Changyong's mansion.

After being beaten and locked up for a night, the third master of the Zhu family was also lying at home. But after hearing about this, he was so excited that he ignored the pain of his wounds and got up and shouted excitedly:

"Quick, help me place a bet of 10,000 taels of silver. I want to bet on his death."

In the Menghua Courtyard of Duke Qin's Mansion, the Second Young Master Qin looked at Gu Ruolan who was dressing up with a smile:

"I heard that this time he is really going to die."

Gu Ruolan carefully looked at her eyebrows in the bronze mirror to see if they were drawn crookedly, and then she heard Second Young Master Qin say so much.

Gu Ruolan replied calmly:

"Let him die. He deserves to die anyway. If he doesn't die, the world will be different."

Yes, in the previous life, after Nangong Yu died, the Nangong family fell, and then Madam Xie also died. The Xie family vowed not to serve as officials in Beijing again.

But now everything has changed. Not only did the Xie family come to Beijing to serve as officials, but their head of the family also came, and this head of the family was the emperor's teacher. As soon as he arrived, he was praised so highly by the emperor.

And...and that prince also said that if Nangong Yu really investigates what the emperor asked, he will definitely be able to find out about it.

I am now his woman. Ironically, Gu Ruolan is married to the second son of the Qin family.

But the Second Young Master Qin... is a real beast in human clothing, because he has the Qin Mansion behind him, and everyone knows that the Second Young Master Qin is a man of talent, but in order to prevent the Qin Mansion from becoming more prominent, he gave up his pursuit and just pretended to be an idle scholar.

What everyone didn't know was that the second young master, who looked gentle and elegant, was actually... a man's exclusive boy lover under his long gown. Moreover, he vented his perverted psychology on women, so his several wives were tortured to death by him and his master.

What he didn't expect was that his master not only liked him, but also fell in love with his current wife Gu Ruolan.

Because Gu Ruolan is a bit smart and can deduce some things that haven't happened yet, this makes the master like Gu Ruolan more recently.

So, the two people, who are obviously a couple, have to compete for each other's favor in front of their master.

When the master is not around, the two of them look like a normal couple to outsiders.

From resisting in the beginning, to joining in later, and now actively enjoying that perverted lifestyle, Gu Ruolan couldn't help but sigh that she was indeed lacking in experience. She never expected that life could be so enjoyable.

When the three of them were in bed together, she had more of a queen's mentality and felt that she could even play with the prince in the palm of her hand.

For her, it would be better if Nangong Yu died now.

Only when Nangong Yu died could the world return to the one she was familiar with before, and she could provide more information to the prince.

Things have changed now. The Xie family has arrived, Nangong Yu is not dead, and the Nangong family has changed its owner. All these things seem to be family matters, but they involve the overall situation.

The second young master Qin looked at Gu Ruolan with a really nonchalant look. Didn’t he want to go and see her in the first place and even brought Princess Nanliang with him?

What's going on now? Second Master Qin raised his eyebrows.

He couldn't quite see through some of Gu Ruolan's thoughts, and couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth slightly.

"Then I'll ask someone to buy some bets for me. Two thousand taels, for...his...death!"

When Second Young Master Qin said this, he stared at Gu Ruolan in the bronze mirror. Gu Ruolan in the mirror had no expression on her face, but Second Young Master Qin did not notice that Gu Ruolan's left hand in her sleeve was tightly pinching her palm.

The second son of the Qin family called his servant, took out two thousand taels of silver notes, and asked him to buy the tickets.

Not only the Second Young Master Qin, but many more people are quietly placing bets, some for pleasure, some with ill intentions, and some just to make a quick buck.

But there are very few people who want to buy Nangong Yu’s life.

After the man dressed in jewels bought the 200,000 and left, he really left a master beside the banker, who was silent and looked like a bodyguard of the banker.

The bodyguard seemed to be squinting, but he remembered who came to buy food.

A life-and-death gamble involving Nangong Yu swept the entire capital city in just half a day.

Even the Emperor knew about it, but after hearing about it, he was furious and directly called the current director of the Imperial Medical Bureau to scold him. Then he ordered the people from the Imperial Medical Bureau to take out the best medicines and the 500-year-old ginseng in his private storehouse, and had them escorted by Eunuch Wang to the Mansion of Marquis Changyong.

For a while, the mansion of Marquis Changyong was peaceful and quiet, but outside the mansion there was a lot of noise and many people came from all over to inquire about the situation.

When the marquis' wife heard the rumors outside, her jaw dropped. She immediately had people guard the front and back doors of her house, allowing only people to enter but not leave.

For a time, the news from the Changyong Marquis's Mansion could not get out. The noise outside became even louder.

I heard that someone started betting 50,000 on his death.

When the imperial physician sent by the emperor came in, more people outside followed in. Nangong Yu must be dead. The emperor was panicked.

For a while, not only those who had grudges with each other were involved, but also some people who were just curious started to place bets. Some people who were already fond of gambling also started to place bets.

The dealer couldn't stop smiling as he saw more and more people buying the death bet.

He also gave the person standing behind him a look, with a slightly smug look:

"Look, if your master wins, all of these will be his. This is more than his two hundred thousand."

The man in black said nothing, just watched like a spectator.

The banker was busy and sweating profusely. When he had some free time, he would look over there at the Changyong Marquis Mansion, where a bit of the roof was visible, with a strange kind of anticipation in his eyes.

From time to time, servants came to report to him. He naturally knew that the news from the Marquis Changyong's Mansion could not be spread out, and he didn't know what was happening in the entire mansion.
