After rebirth, I married the emperor's uncle and overthrew my ex-husband's kingdom

In the past, when he had given up on himself, he had fooled around with those people a few times, and he knew their methods.

"You'd better find your second brother quickly. Those people are not easy to deal with."

Bai Youyou's heart sank, "Do you know Lao Zhang's gambling house?"

Qiao Bing moved closer and whispered, "The Zhang gambling house was opened by Yong'an Marquis, but I heard that the boss behind it is actually the prince."

"Prince?"

Bai Youyou frowned.

Marquis Yong'an is the prince's maternal relative, and this gambling house is most likely owned by the prince. It is indeed a bit tricky.

"Thank you very much for this."

Bai Youyou thanked him and was about to take people to Lao Zhang's gambling house when she saw Bai Luochuan walking on the street in a trance, followed by Zimo, who also looked lost.

"Miss Four, Miss Four."

Zimo's face turned pale. When he saw Bai Youyou, his body trembled like a sieve and he knelt on the ground with a plop.

Bai Luochuan, however, seemed to be blind to her and walked forward with one foot deep and one foot shallow, holding a piece of paper in his hand.

Bai Youyou glanced at him with a sullen face, then took a few steps forward to avoid the paper in Bai Luochuan's hand.

After seeing clearly what was written on the paper, her heart sank and she couldn't help but take a breath.

"One hundred thousand taels!"

Bai Muchen's usury of 10,000 taels emptied out the dowry and private property of Bai Yanlang and Aunt Qiao. The remaining 100,000 taels would not be enough even if Lu sold all her dowry!

She held the IOU tightly, took a quick step forward, grabbed Bai Luochuan's arm, and pulled him back.

"Now that you know you've gotten into trouble, why are you pretending to be dead?!"

Bai Luochuan's legs were weak and he collapsed to the ground. He slapped his head and said in a hoarse voice: "I don't know either. I didn't know it would turn out like this. I really don't know..."

There were people coming and going on the street. Bai Youyou didn't care about her face at all. She kicked him on the shoulder in anger.

"How can you be so stupid!!!"

Bai Luochuan was kicked to the ground and lay directly on the ground, his expression full of regret.

"How could this happen? How could this happen..."

"Drag him back!"

Bai Youyou really wanted to leave him here and let him freeze to death, but if he died, the one who would be sad would be Lu.

After returning to the Yongning Marquis Mansion, Bai Youyou had Bai Luochuan and Zimo tied up and thrown into her yard, and then had the gate locked.

The master and servant lay on the ground like dead fish. Bai Youyou sat on a chair, looking at Zimo with flickering eyes, her expression cold.

"Your master went to the gambling house, why did you hide it from the public?!"

Zimo cried, "The young master was drinking and chatting happily with the young master of the Sun family. Some of them said that the wine was not as delicious as the Lihuabai from Jufulou, so they sent me to Jufulou to buy some. When I came back, they had already entered the gambling house. I went to the gambling house to persuade the young master, but he didn't listen, and I couldn't do anything."

"He didn't listen, why didn't you come back and tell the master and mistress about it?!"

Bai Youyou said in a cold tone, "The servant in the Second Young Master's room saw you coming back the night before. Tell me, why did you come back?!"

"It was the young master who asked me to come back to get the money. At that time, I was afraid that the master and his wife would be furious if they knew, so I didn't dare to report it. I just wanted to persuade the young master to stop after he got his money back."

Xiao Ju was so angry that she spat at him, "I asked you to serve the Second Young Master, but you actually dared to pretend to obey me and actually conceal something like this. You clearly want to kill the Second Young Master!"

"Xiaoju, go find Yang Momo and bring Zimo's indenture over here."

Bai Youyou really regretted that she should have dealt with this traitorous slave earlier, otherwise this would not have happened.

When he heard that they were going to take his indenture, Zimo panicked. He kicked his legs and squirmed, "Fourth Miss, please spare me, Fourth Miss, please spare me!"

"Zi Mo, the Second Young Master is your master. If he doesn't get well, you won't get well either."

Bai Youyou said in a very cold voice, "Tell me, who told you to do this?!"

"Who?"

Zimo looked confused and pretended to be stupid and asked, "Fourth Miss, what are you talking about?"

"Still pretending to be stupid in front of me."

Bai Youyou smiled coldly, "Why did you harm my second brother like this? Just to vent your anger on Bai Yaoyao?"

Zimo met her sarcastic smile, and his pupils trembled suddenly, "Fourth Miss, what do you mean by this?"

"You know exactly what I mean!"

His micro-expression just now did not escape Bai Youyou's eyes.

Bai Luochuan is seeking fame and reputation, and he values ​​his reputation the most, so how could he go to a place like a gambling house?

He must have been given too much alcohol or some mind-altering drug.

Apart from Aunt Qiao and her son, most people outside would probably give him some courtesy for the sake of the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion, and would not set a trap for him so obviously.

"There is no such thing as an impenetrable wall. Do you think others won't know if you don't tell them?"

In this era, masters and servants share the same fate. If their interests were not shared, ordinary slaves would never dare to rebel against their masters.

Bai Mulin lost all face because of the affair with his mistress, and he never dared to act rashly since that setup.

Bai Muchen likes to make friends with all kinds of people, so he is the most suspicious one in setting this trap for Bai Luochuan.

Whether it is true or not, you will know it by trying it.

Bai Youyou snorted coldly, "Go back and tell Bai Muchen to clean his neck and wait for death!"

Xiao Ju threw the indenture in his face and said with disdain, "You took the monthly salary from the Madam, but helped outsiders to harm your own master. You are such a traitor. Our Madam can't afford to support you!"

Bai Luochuan, who was lying on the ground, finally focused his eyes. He stared at Zimo in disbelief, "Is what Fourth Sister said true?!"

"Master, don't listen to Fourth Miss's nonsense. Zimo has been serving you since he was eight years old. How could I betray you?"

Zimo hurriedly explained: "When you and Young Master Sun entered the gambling house, I was sent away and was not there at all. If I was there, I would definitely stop you."

"You forgot, when you went to the gambling house to borrow money, I tried my best to stop you!"

The scene of Zimo persuading him at that time flashed through Bai Luochuan's mind, and his dark eyes were filled with confusion.

Yes, Zimo advised me at that time.

He was so desperate from losing all his money at the time that he refused to listen to any advice and was always thinking about making up for his losses.

"Sister, this must be a mistake. Zimo will never betray me."

"You think I'm talking nonsense?"

Bai Youyou laughed in anger, "No wonder he didn't realize he was being set up, he's so stupid that he's hopeless!"

Generally, loyal servants would come back and tell their master and mistress no matter what if they saw their master in the gambling house.

This Zimo, not only did not report it, he also helped come back to get the silver. It was obvious that he had ulterior motives!

This idiot still hasn't figured out the key to the matter and is still protecting the traitorous servant!

"I......"

Bai Luochuan pondered over it carefully and also felt that Zimo's behavior was strange.

His face was pale, his lips opened and closed, but in the end he had nothing to refute and could only shut up in disappointment.

"Let me ask you, who were the people who entered the gambling house with you that day?"
