The gambling god's wife in the Duke's Mansion is getting divorced again

The autumn dew was deep, Baili Xi returned to the villa and happened to meet Xiao Ji.

Changwei is Xiao Ji's courtesy name. He is the son of the late King Nan'an, and is known as the Little King Nan'an.

"How did you become like this?" Xiao Ji looked at the wound on his face.

Baili Xi spat: "He is nothing."

"You just found out?" Xiao Ji sneered, quite disgusted: "He is nothing!"

"I'm confused. Why did he ask someone to use my name to send you all the way to Fengshui Town for support?" Baili Xi shook his head, puzzled. "Could it be that he knew I would keep Sang Wan?"

Xiao Ji looked at the cold moon dimly: "He has many thoughts, who knows."

Thinking of Sang Wan and those eyes, an answer seemed to emerge in his mind, which made him a little frightened.

Pei Jinzhi never does useless things, he must have a purpose for doing this.

Xiao Ji lowered his head and rubbed his eyebrows:

"I rushed here from the capital without stopping, and even killed two horses; fortunately, I arrived in time to save Miss Sang. She has been very kind to my Nan'an Palace, and I truly must thank her."

At the same time, in the study of Zhaoyunyuan.

Li Jiu handed over the ointment respectfully: "Master, there is movement in the villa of the young Nan'an King. The brothers have seen Bai Shi. I think Miss Sang should be able to survive this disaster safely."

Pei Jinzhi breathed a sigh of relief, his expression softening a bit: "I understand."

"The prince has always been at odds with you, so why would you entrust your grandmother to him?" Li Jiu was puzzled. "Aren't you afraid that he'll be disgusted?"

"Chai Jue, who rebelled under the name of Prince Nan'an, has now been captured alive. The Tianxuan Sect's members have also been apprehended, with Sang Wan being the primary contributor. Chang Jue is a gentleman, and far from disliking her, he's grateful to her. With him protecting her, she'll have an extra layer of protection in the future."

Li Jiu's expression was moved: "You have planned everything."

"Xiao Ji will not treat her badly. Giving Sang Wan a new identity is just a piece of cake for the Nan'an Palace. I have already told Bai Shi that after her injuries heal, he will take her to Shu. Bai Shi will teach her medical skills, and she will definitely have no worries about food and clothing in her life."

Li Jiu felt a little unwilling: "You've done so much, but you're hiding it and not saying anything. What if Grandma misunderstands and hates you because of it?"

Pei Jinzhi lowered his head and looked at the ground, "Hate me."

Hate me, don't forget me.

"Going to Shu?" Sang Wan was stunned, confused. "Why go to Shu?"

Bai Shi: "Shu is a great place. It's so comfortable to travel with me to study medicine."

The old man acted quickly and said that he had already chosen a house. It was a brand new three-story house with good lighting and a great location.

Chang Yu, also known as Xiao Ji, the Little Nan'an Prince, bowed deeply to her and said:

"Miss Sang, at this point, I shouldn't keep this from you any longer. I am Xiao Ji, son of the late Prince of Nan'an, also known as the Little Prince of Nan'an. Chai Jue used my name to commit treason, but fortunately, you stepped in and cleared the stigma for me and my father. You are my benefactor to the Nan'an Palace, and I owe you my gratitude."

Sang Wan was surprised. It turned out that this handsome man was the real little prince.

She burst out laughing: "I said, that Chai Jue is greasy and wretched, he doesn't look like a prince at all."

When Xiao Ji saw her smile, her eyes like the moon, he felt an indescribable feeling in his heart, but his thoughts were so fleeting that he couldn't grasp them.

"All expenses for the house will be covered by the Nan'an Palace. Once you recover from your injuries, Divine Doctor Bai will take you there. Your new identity documents will be delivered soon, so don't worry, young lady."

“This old man…” Sang Wan got goosebumps all over her body, “I don’t want to!”

Bai Shi blew his beard and glared, jumping up and down in anger: "Stinky girl, how can I be considered an old man? I have white hair and a youthful face. I am handsome and young!"

Bai Shi traveled extensively, personally tasting hundreds of herbs and testing poisons on himself. Although this did not cause any serious damage to his health, his hair and beard were completely white at the age of forty. His gray hair was a thorn in his heart, and he hated it most.

"Come on, I'm afraid I'll die before I can finish my medical studies. I won't learn, I won't learn!"

This old bastard Bai Shi always catches strange insects to scare her, and she doesn't want to learn medicine from him.

"Tsk, there are so many people who want to become my disciples, but I look down on all of them. But you, on the other hand, actually push me out? It makes me so angry!" Bai Shi's self-esteem shattered to the ground, and he stamped his feet in anger.

"Rather than studying medicine, I'd rather go to the capital." Sang Wan smiled and looked at Xiao Ji: "I heard that Tokyo is a thousand miles prosperous. I want to go and see it for myself."

Xiao Ji frowned slightly, "Miss Sang, the Tianxuan Sect incident has not yet been resolved. It would be inappropriate to rashly go to the capital."

King Nannan has passed away. Although he and the current emperor are uncle and nephew, there is a generation gap between them and they have little affection for each other. If Sang Wan's identity is exposed and discovered by someone with ulterior motives, he is worried that he will not be able to protect her.

Sang Wan said firmly, "I'll go by myself and won't get you into any trouble."

"Why do you insist on going to the capital?" Xiao Ji couldn't understand.

"Firstly, I have a good friend taking part in this year's Autumn Examination. I've told him that if he passes, I'll go and congratulate him in person. Secondly, I've never been out of Fengshui Town, and I'm eager to see the beauty of Great Xia. The capital is second to none when it comes to prosperity. Thirdly..." Sang Wan gave a sly smile, "I wonder if Your Highness has ever heard of the saying 'The darkest part is the darkest.' The more dangerous the place, the safer it is."

They were all excuses. The reason why she wanted to go to the capital was not something she could tell outsiders.

Xiao Ji's brows relaxed: "Young lady really has a very smart heart."

Bai Shi hugged his sleeves and looked up to the sky, snorting coldly: "I think you are worried about Master Pei, right?"

When this name was mentioned, Sang Wan's expression changed immediately: "I have already paid back everything I owed him. Don't mention him in the future."

Xiao Ji clapped his hands and said, "Okay! Miss Sang, just for this, I will take you to the capital."

"You also have a grudge against Pei Jinzhi?" Sang Wan was surprised.

Xiao Ji's face turned cold: "He and I have an irreconcilable feud."

Prince Nan'an died in the Pei family's houseboat, and he and Pei Jinzhi broke up because of this. Fifteen years passed in a flash.

"Back then, my mother gave birth to my sister, Xiao Yue, with her last breath. If it weren't for the Pei family's poor guards, the Nan'an Palace wouldn't be so deserted."

"Are you the brother of Princess Jinghe Xiaoyue?"

Sang Wan finally understood why Pei Jinzhi couldn't get the love he wanted.

Xiao Ji nodded, a little surprised how she knew Xiao Yue: "How do you know my sister?"

"I've heard people from Pei Mansion mention it before." She didn't dare to say the second half of the sentence.

After all, Xiao Yue is now married, so how could she ruin someone's reputation?

Bai Shi had no interest in these grudges and hatreds. He shook his head and said, "Forget it, since the little girl doesn't want to study medicine with me, I'll leave!"

He waved his sleeves and walked straight out, almost bumping into Baili Xi at the door.

"Hey, old monster, why are you walking so fast?"

"Awan, did you make him angry and run away again?"

Sang Wan curled her lips and smiled: "I didn't want to study medicine with him, which hurt his feelings."

"What's so good about studying medicine? I just heard you say you're going to the capital. It just so happens that my Baili family owns 24 gambling houses in the capital. You're the God of Gamblers' wife, right? How about you manage the gambling business?"

When Duke Yongning learned about the incident in Fengshui Town, he sent someone to deliver a letter at full speed. In the letter, he severely reprimanded him, fearing that he would get deeper and deeper into the court politics, and urged him to return to Beijing immediately. On the other hand, he was afraid that he would scold his son away, so he threw the gambling business into the name of his youngest son, which was a slap in the face and then a sweet reward.

Sang Wan was so embarrassed she had nowhere to hide: "Master Baili, I don't know how to gamble, how can I manage a gambling house?"

"Well, it's easy. You just need to use this name. If others want to gamble with you, we have several great Vajra guardians lined up in front of us, and they will never be able to get close to you. The capital is prosperous, but food, clothing, housing and transportation all require money. Miss Sang, you can manage the gambling house for me, and I will pay you 1,000 taels a month. How about that?"

Xiao Ji's eyes moved, and he raised his eyebrows directly at Baili Xi, smiling without saying a word.

"One thousand taels? Oh my god, this..."

Sang Wan covered her mouth with her fingers and almost cried out.

It’s such a great wealth, but it’s a pity that “those who show kindness for no reason are either traitors or thieves.”

"Miss Sang, don't hesitate. My father has given me the gambling business, and I'm worried I have no one to hire. How about you just consider it a favor?"

Baili Xi bowed to her, and then looked at Xiao Ji and signaled: Help me.

Xiao Ji raised his lips and smiled, "Miss Sang is kind-hearted, so please help him. This way, you can also settle down in the capital. And the gambling house is the most well-informed, so if you want to find out some information or find someone, it will be very convenient in the future."

This hit the nail on the head for Sang Wan.

Her favorability towards Xiao Ji increased sharply. How did he guess that she went to the capital to find out information?

This little King of Nan'an is really no ordinary person.

He is sharp but kind. He neither exposes her nor pursues her questions relentlessly. He is a very cultured person.

"I... will think about it." Sang Wan was concerned about Baili Xi's reputation and did not refuse outright.

Baili Xi saw that there was a way, but he didn't dare to push her too hard:

"Okay, okay, when you have made up your mind, tell me."
