"Does the old lady still remember what my mother looks like?"

The window in the room was half-open, and the dim candlelight was swaying left and right in the wind, flickering. Ye Qingyu had a fair face that resembled Gu's, and a pair of cold eyes staring straight at her.

Madam Ye looked at Ye Qingyu's appearance, her eyes suddenly widened, and she screamed in fear, "Ah, ghost, ghost! Get out! Get out!"

Nanny Chen was also frightened. After she came to her senses, she hurried to comfort Madam Ye, "Madam, there's no ghost. That's the eldest lady. Are you possessed by a demon?"

Ye Qingyu narrowed her cold eyes and her hand holding the handkerchief suddenly tightened.

Nanny Chen looked at Ye Qingyu for help, "Miss, please say something."

Ye Qingyu said softly, "Yes, what did the old lady see? Why do you look so scared?"

Old Madam Ye covered her head with a quilt, hiding under it, as if possessed by a demon. "There's a ghost, there's a ghost, drive it out! Drive it out!"

Nanny Chen saw that Old Madam Ye was in such a state that she would not be able to recover for a while. "Miss, the old lady has been frightened for some reason. Please go back first. I will go and get a doctor."

Ye Qingyu curled the corners of her lips, "Alright, it's time to go to bed, I'll go back first."

Nanny Chen bowed and said, "Goodbye, Miss."

Nanny Chen looked at Ye Qingyu's back with an ugly expression. Just now, she had mistaken the eldest lady's face for the eldest lady, as if that person was coming to take her life.

Wanqiu walked out of Chunhui Hall and couldn't help but look back, "Miss, why did the old lady suddenly go crazy?"

Ye Qingyu sneered, "If you don't do anything wrong, you don't have to worry about ghosts knocking on your door."

Madam Ye has been tormenting herself quite a bit lately, and her spirit has become much weaker. At times like this, some things tend to come out...

It seems that there is something strange about my mother's death!

She had never doubted her mother's death until she learned that Princess Yongjia was targeting the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion and Shen Yanli revealed to her the grudge between the Grand Princess and her mother. She then thought about how the old lady had disliked her mother since she was a child, and how her mother had clearly caught a cold, a minor illness, but it had become increasingly serious and eventually took her mother's life!

Her mother was obviously in good health. She was still young at that time, and her mother never said much to her. At the beginning, she did not doubt the old lady. After all, the old lady had stayed in this mansion for the longest time. She just wanted to get some information from the old lady. Unexpectedly, she was just testing it today!

Wanqiu looked at the young lady's pretty face which was as cold as ice, and her heart sank.

Could there be something fishy about Madam’s death?

As soon as she returned to Wanyan Pavilion, Ye Qingyu called Mo Hua.

"How's the investigation into the gambling house going?"

Mo Hua reported, "Miss, the owner of Lai Cai Casino is only known by the surname Yu. Everyone who has met him calls him Boss Yu. He is elusive and difficult to track down. Everything at Lai Cai Casino is managed by a man named Manager Ma, and he handles all the normal matters."

Mo Hua continued, "I have found this information. Please forgive me, young lady."

Ye Qingyu waved her hand. "It's okay. This is enough for me to know. You and Mo Shu should get ready. Tomorrow we will go to the Laicai Casino and meet Manager Ma."

Mo Hua was shocked. "Miss, are you going there in person? The gambling house is a mixed bag with all kinds of people. It's too unsafe. Mo Shu and I can go there."

Ye Qingyu shook her head. "I have to go by myself. I don't want to wait any longer."

She wants to know the truth about her mother's death!

In her previous life, she lived in a muddle and never doubted her mother's death until the end. It was her fault as a daughter. In this life, she will make sure that no one who harmed her mother will have a good life!

In the palace of the King of Chu.

"Gambling house?"

The secret guard nodded and said, "It's the Laicai Casino in the west of the city. Miss Ye will be there tomorrow."

Lin Feng was puzzled, "Why did she go to the gambling house?"

Could it be that this young lady is itching to go to the casino and play a few rounds?

The secret guard said, "Miss Ye has been investigating her mother's death recently. Currently, the son of Madam Ye's capable assistant, Nanny Chen, has been arrested by the Laicai Casino for gambling debts. It seems Miss Ye wants to use this person to get Nanny Chen to reveal something she wants to know."

Shen Yanli said in a deep voice, "Lin Feng, go check this gambling house and take a look tomorrow."

"Yes."

……

Laicai Casino only opens at night. When it gets dark, Ye Qingyu gets on the carriage prepared at the side door and drives towards the west of the city.

It took more than half an hour to reach the destination.

"Miss, here we are."

"Ah."

Ye Qingyu held Mo Shu's hand and got off the carriage. The long veil covered her slim figure. Mo Shu and Mo Hua were both dressed in short and tight clothes like servants.

Looking at the plaque of Laicai Casino in front of her, Ye Qingyu clenched her clasped hands tightly, pushed the door open and walked in.

Pushing open the door, it was like entering another world. Inside, it was bustling and noisy. The gambling tables scattered everywhere were surrounded by people, and from time to time, excited shouts broke out, deafening.

Ye Qingyu frowned and looked around to see who was Manager Ma.

"Hey, there's a newcomer."

"She's still a young lady, haha, why does a young lady also come to the gambling house to play a few rounds and earn some pocket money?"

"Come to my place, young lady. I promise you will come back with a lot of rewards."

The gambling house's watchmen came up, all of them fierce and menacing, and said, "This is not a place for women, get out of here!"

Ye Qingyu said in a cold voice, "Why, silver is divided into male and female."

"I want to do a business with your manager, please come out."

The man watching the scene was very impatient. "We are the ones who can be found whenever you want! Hurry up and leave, otherwise, don't blame us brothers for being unkind and throwing you out!"

Mo Shu and Mo Hua stood in front of Ye Qingyu alertly, "Just try to touch my young lady!"

"Yo, pretty fierce, brothers,"

As soon as the man finished speaking, he heard someone shouting, "How dare you! Stop it! We are guests, so why are you so rude?"

The man, dressed in a brocade robe and with a shrewd look in his eyes, reached out and slapped the man on the head. He turned back and smiled at Ye Qingyu, "Miss, are you looking for Ma?"

Ye Qingyu said coldly, "Are you the manager here?"

"It's down."

"I want to discuss a business deal with you."

Steward Ma smiled brightly and said, "In that case, please go upstairs, young lady."

"Ah."
