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

The next morning, Sang Wan woke up slowly to the sound of roosters crowing.

As soon as she woke up, she went to Sang's mother's room and saw that she was awake too. She immediately helped her forward and said:

"Mom, do you want me to carry you to the toilet?"

Mother Sang put her hand on her shoulder and stood up with difficulty:

"Wan'er, why don't you get some more sleep?"

"I'm used to getting up early at the pharmacy, so I can't sleep."

Sang Wan put her on the urine bucket.

"I heard some noise yesterday. Was it your brother who came back?" Mother Sang was a little confused.

Sang Wan carefully helped her put on her clothes and said angrily:

"Mom, you're still awake so late. It must be him. He should still be lying dead in the bed next to me. I'll go get him later."

"It's good that he's back. Tell him to come and admit his mistakes, and then go and fetch your sister-in-law and Fang'er. Mother wants to embroider some things today, and you can sell them outside later to pay off his debts."

Sang's mother kept nagging, and all she was worried about was Sang Daqing's dirty deeds.

At first, when she knew that Sang Daqing was gambling, she would be so angry that she would curse him, but after so many years of going back and forth, and cursing him countless times, Sang Daqing was still the one who had to pay off old debts and keep on getting new ones, with no end in sight.

In just a few years, the family fortune left by Sang Jun was squandered.

Thinking of Sang Jun, she couldn't help but wipe away her tears again: "If your father were still alive, this brat would never dare to do this!"

"If Dad were here, he would have beaten him to death long ago. Mom, you're just too soft-hearted." Sang Wan poured a glass of water and handed it to Sang's mother: "If he felt even a little bit sorry for you, he wouldn't have acted so recklessly."

Mother Sang: "There's nothing we can do. He's a piece of my flesh and blood. As his parents, we just hope he'll repent soon. They say a prodigal son who returns is worth more than gold. I pray to the Buddha every day, hoping my son will open his eyes soon and return to the right path."

"Oh!" Sang Wan sighed. When a son grows up, he is no longer under the control of his mother.

Sang Daqing wanted to turn back, but was afraid the journey was too long.

Maybe someone could walk all the way from the capital to Fengshui and back, and Sang Daqing would still be on the wrong path.

Sang Wan felt upset when he thought of the five hundred taels.

"Mom, I'm going to cook something to eat. You can take a rest first."

She closed the door and turned to go to Sang Daqing's room next door, but the bed was messy and there was no one there.

"Brother!" "Sang Daqing?"

No one answered inside or outside the hospital.

It's strange, he has changed his temper and wakes up earlier than the chickens?

An ominous premonition came over me.

She touched her cuffs and the pouch around her waist.

The purse Pei Jinzhi gave me yesterday is missing.

The money... flew away?

"Sang Daqing!!! I'm going to kill you!"

A dog will never change its nature. It actually stole her money!

"Wan'er, what's wrong? What's this?"

When Sang's mother heard her shout, she shuddered.

Sang Wan ran into the house in a rage: "Mom, don't be angry. Big brother ran away!"

She didn't dare mention the money, for fear that Sang's mother would get so angry that she would faint again.

"Oh my God, he just came back, how come he ran away again? Wan'er, go find him quickly. If those evil spirits in the gambling house see him, they will definitely pull out his tendons and skin him alive." Mother Sang was so anxious that she wanted to get out of bed.

But she was paralyzed, with half of her body facing downwards, and she immediately fell to the ground.

Sang Wan rushed forward in fear and quickly supported her, "Mom, don't worry. I'll get you something to eat first and then go find it right away."

Mother Sang's face turned pale with anxiety:

"No, no, no, go find him quickly."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Sang Wan sighed and could only go along with her.

The mother was good in every way except that she doted on Sang Daqing too much, always treating him like a child who had not grown up.

*

Sang Wan was afraid that people would recognize her as Sang Daqing's sister, so she put on a hat.

Based on his understanding of his brother, if he was not in the gambling house, he must be on his way to the gambling house.

Sang Daqing had just owed Sihai Casino five hundred taels, so naturally he would not fall into the trap.

In addition to Sihai, there is also a gambling house called Fugui in Fengshui Town, located west of Pingkangli.

Although this gambling house is not as famous as Sihai, it is also quite large. It’s just that the person in charge acts more low-key.

Sang Wan lifted the thick door curtain, and the noise came over her.

There were seven or eight gambling tables in the hall, each of which was surrounded by people, with shouts and laughter coming one after another.

"Open it up, open it up!"

"Hey! We win, we win!"

"This time, keep betting! All in!"

Sang Wan walked through the crowd and accidentally brushed shoulders with a man.

There was a strong impact on my shoulder, causing a slight pain.

Out of politeness, she nodded slightly, "Sorry."

The door curtain was lifted again, and a breeze blew past, blowing away Wei's hat and revealing a corner of his true face.

The man happened to look back and took in the beauty.

A playful curve appeared on his lips.

Just in this corner, her red lips are like half-ripe cherries, and her skin is whiter than snow. How stunning it would be if she took off her hat!

Baili Xi became interested: "Where did the girl come from?"

The servant beside him shook his head slightly:

"I don't know. Master Baili, please."

There are few decent girls in gambling houses and brothels;

Occasionally, women come here to look for their husbands who have not returned from gambling, but I have never seen anyone come with a hat.

Apparently this was the girl's first time.

Sang Wan always felt that there was a pair of eyes staring at her from behind. When she turned around suddenly, it was indeed that man.

He was wearing a dark, cloud-patterned, half-sleeved robe that outlined his muscular waist. His hair was combed high on his head, with the hair slightly raised on his temples, making him look elegant and graceful; but his peach blossom eyes were unpleasant.

Sang Wan pulled up his hat again to cover himself more tightly, and at the same time gave Baili Xi a fierce look.

What are you looking at, you pervert.

As if sensing the anger behind Wei Mao, Baili Xi smiled even more deeply. This young lady is so interesting!

"Sir, please come in. Your Excellency has been waiting for a long time."

The servant bowed and invited him.

Baili Xi strode into the private room, where a young man in a moon-white brocade robe was already waiting.

"You're late." Pei Jinzhi raised his eyes slightly, the teacup in his hand was steaming, and the room was filled with the fragrance of orchids.

"Not too late, just right." Baili Xi sat down on the cushion, raised one leg with great confidence, and drank the tea in front of him.

He smacked his lips. "It's just the right balance of hot and cold. This is Heyuan Baogong's first spring tea. It's excellent."

Pei Jinzhi lowered his eyelids slightly, his expression softened:

"You really know what you're talking about."

"I've been around a lot with you literary people, so I understand a little bit." Baili Xi gestured to Li Jiu, "The teacup is too small. Change it to a bigger one. I'm dying of thirst."

Li Jiu smiled slyly and took out a large porcelain bowl. "I expected it a long time ago. Master, you owe me ten taels."

Pei Jinzhi shrugged his eyebrows, threw him a silver ingot, and gave Baili Xi a look:

"After all, it's a wild boar, it can't eat fine bran."

"You two, master and servant, are actually using me as a gambling game? Such a good thing is for everyone to have a share. Li Jiu, quickly give me five taels."

Baili Xi stretched out his hand to ask for it.

"Master Baili, you are trying to steal my money. I finally won against the Crown Prince."

Li Jiu quickly put the silver ingot into his arms, his eyes looking up at the sky:

Want money? No.

"Hey, you stingy guy. What's the point of saving so much money? You can't even get married, so you might as well use it to treat me to a few banquets."

"Oh, that won't do. This is the dowry I saved for my sister."

Baili Xi sneered: "I haven't even seen your sister's shadow, I'm afraid..."

Before he finished speaking, there was a commotion downstairs. Someone seemed to be banging tables and chairs, and there was also a woman's voice:

"Stop fighting, stop fighting!"

Pei Jinzhi's brows twitched, and Li Jiu had already called out softly, "Miss Sang?"

Baili Xi, curious about the situation, had already opened the screen window and looked downstairs: "Is it her?"

It was indeed the girl wearing the hat.

The voice is just like the person, clear and pleasant to listen to.

Baili Xi and Pei Jinzhi looked at each other:

"you know?"
