Xiao Yi fanned himself, turned his gaze towards Shen Tao, and said with a half-smile, "Shen Tao, are you still planning on following me this time?"

Shen Tao's face was ashen, his fists clenched tightly, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I don't believe she can always win! Bet! This time, I'm betting five million taels. Do you dare to follow?"

Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows and agreed readily: "Why not? If you dare to bet, I will accompany you."

The two men immediately asked people to put up their respective gambling stakes, and their movements were quick and efficient.

The gambling game resumed, and Bai Wanwan and the Sixth Prince each picked up the dice cup and shook it.

This time, everyone present was silent, not even daring to breathe.

Many people placed heavy bets, all staring at the two dice cups on the table, their hearts in their throats.

After a long while, Bai Wanwan said calmly, "It's time to open the cup."

The Sixth Prince was the first to open his dice cup, and inside were two fives and a six, adding up to a total of sixteen.

He immediately burst into laughter and looked at Bai Wanwan triumphantly: "Bai Wanwan, let's see how you win this time!"

Seeing this, the people around sighed. Someone said in frustration, "It's all over. County Magistrate Bai has definitely lost this time. The ten taels of silver I bet is all gone!"

The person next to him was even more anxious: "You only have ten taels? I bet a hundred taels, that's all my belongings!"

Others beat their chests and stamped their feet: "I've mortgaged all my family's real estate, and now I'm going to be in dire straits!"

Amidst a chorus of regrets, Bai Wanwan slowly opened the dice cup.

Everyone looked closely and was so shocked that they were speechless. There were three sixes in it again!

The Sixth Prince's expression suddenly changed. He slammed the table and stood up, shouting, "You're cheating! How could you possibly get three sixes in a row?"

Bai Wanwan raised her eyes, glanced at him indifferently, and said in a calm tone:

"I didn't cheat. After shaking the cup, I kept my hands behind my back. Everyone present saw it. How could I be said to be cheating?

Do you understand if you accept defeat?"

The Sixth Prince's eyes were bloodshot, clearly mad with killing intent. He stared at Bai Wanwan and roared, "I'm not going to give in this time! I'm going to bet with you again!"

Bai Wanwan said calmly, "The wealth that the Sixth Prince brought with him is probably not enough anymore, right?"

The Sixth Prince gritted his teeth and said:

"If you don't have enough money, I have other things to bet on! I'll bet on the throne! If you win, the throne will be given to Gu Sinian.

If you lose, the throne will be mine in the future! Do you dare to bet?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the audience was shocked. They shrank their necks and lowered their heads, not daring to even breathe.

Shen Tao and Xiao Yi also froze in place, their faces filled with shock. It was truly too shocking that this gamble involved the throne.

Bai Wanwan frowned and said in a deep voice, "I can't agree to the throne on behalf of my brother Gu Sinian."

"She doesn't dare, but I do!" A clear voice came from upstairs.

Everyone looked up and saw Gu Sinian, wearing a silver-white brocade robe, walking slowly down the stairs.

He looked directly at the Sixth Prince with sharp eyes: "Let's bet on the throne! But we need to write a written agreement first, so that no one will regret it later."

The Sixth Prince narrowed his eyes and snorted coldly, "Old Eighteen, you finally show up."

"I dare to do it and take responsibility for it, so why shouldn't I show up?" Gu Sinian sneered, "But you, don't deny your loss when the time comes."

The two men immediately asked someone to bring paper and pen, wrote down the gambling agreement, signed and sealed it with their private seals.

After the contract was finalized, everyone's eyes were fixed on the center of the gambling table, and even their breathing became cautious.

Bai Wanwan looked at the Sixth Prince and said with a hint of warning: "You have to watch carefully to see if I am cheating, so that you don't make false accusations after you lose."

The Sixth Prince ordered sternly, "You don't need to tell me anything. All of you come here and keep a close eye on her. If you find her making any moves, report it immediately!"

Several of his advisers immediately stepped forward, surrounded Bai Wanwan, and watched her every move closely.

Bai Wanwan and the Sixth Prince each picked up the dice cup, placed their fingers on the cup and shook it.

After a moment, the Sixth Prince suddenly stopped and slammed the dice cup on the table, with a determined smile on his face: "This time, let's see how you can win!"

The Sixth Prince grew increasingly elated and urged, "This time, I'll open it for you! If you walk by the river too often, you'll get your feet wet. I don't believe you can win three times in a row!"

Bai Wanwan opened her dice cup expressionlessly. Everyone looked inside and saw that there were two twos and a one, which added up to only five.

The Sixth Prince threw his head back and laughed wildly, slamming his hand on the table and saying, "It's done! This is a sure win! I told you, you can't always outlive me!"

As he spoke proudly, he reached out to flip his dice cup, his eyes full of confidence that he would win.

But when the dice cup was completely opened and he saw the number inside, the smile on his face froze instantly and his pupils contracted suddenly.

Everyone leaned over to look, and saw three ones lying quietly in the dice cup, which was the smallest number!

The whole place was dead silent. Everyone was stunned and forgot to even breathe.

"Impossible! This is impossible!" The Sixth Prince reacted and slammed the dice cup to the ground. The porcelain dice cup shattered and the dice rolled all over the floor.

His eyes were red as he pointed at Bai Wanwan and Gu Sinian and said, "You cheated! There's definitely something wrong! You teamed up to deceive me!"

Bai Wanwan sneered and said, "Who lied to you? Do you have any shame? I didn't do anything except rolling the dice. Can't you afford to lose?"

The Sixth Prince sneered and said, "Okay, you can. Just wait and see."

He turned around and left. Bai Wanwan asked someone to send the valuables to her courtyard.

Gu Sinian looked at her and said:

"Let's go! Let's go back and rest!

I sent two ships of food to deliver, and they have already arrived. They will be just the right amount for the disaster victims.”

Bai Wanwan nodded and said, "Why so fast?"

Gu Sinian smiled and said:

"My advisors had already predicted that heavy rain would arrive in the near future, fearing that it would cause a food shortage.

I asked people to prepare enough food in advance, just in case there was a shortage of food."

Bai Wanwan's eyebrows and eyes curved:

"Fortunately, you have thought it through, otherwise we might not have enough food.

However, we already have a surplus of grain reserves this year, and the grain output is not low, so there is no need to worry too much.

Let’s go back first!”

The two walked side by side to the carriage and got in together. The coachman then whipped the carriage and prepared to set off.

Shen Tao suddenly rushed forward, put one hand on the carriage, and blocked it in the middle of the road.

He raised an eyebrow and looked at the two people in the car, his tone somewhat teasing: "Bai Wanwan, Gu Sinian, why don't you say that men and women should not be intimate with each other now? Wasn't it very clear before?"

The car curtain was gently lifted, Bai Wanwan stuck her head out, glanced at him, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth:

"Mr. Shen is too nosy. Brother Si Nian and I are siblings, so what's wrong with riding in the same car?

Could it be that Master Shen's family lives by the sea?"

Gu Sinian also spoke in the car, his voice carrying a hint of coldness: "Mr. Shen, if you have nothing to do, please move aside and don't delay our journey."

Shen Tao withdrew his hand in dismay and stepped aside to clear the way: "Tsk, count me meddling in your business."
