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

Li Jiu laughed like a pig.

Baili Xi suffered a setback and his momentum waned a lot.

He reached out to grab the banknote: "Give me back the money."

Pei Jinzhi knocked his claws open with the jade bone fan:

"I accept the loss. This is my money."

"Pei Jinzhi, you are so cruel! I only drank two cups of tea from you, and I lost more than ten thousand taels of silver."

Having lost all his five thousand seven hundred taels of capital, and even more in the last round, Baili Xi pounded his chest and collapsed to the ground, throwing a tantrum.

"I don't care. If you don't return the money to me, I won't tell you the news."

Li Jiu dragged him up, his face full of helplessness:

"Master Baili, you are the deputy commander in chief of the imperial court. Is this reasonable?"

"I don't care, I want it." Baili Xi rolled over.

"Pei Jinzhi, you value women over friendship. My silver, my silver."

It hurts so much, the more than ten thousand taels is his wife’s money!

"It's something that could be settled with two hundred taels, but you're like a stubborn donkey that can't be pulled aside. You can't blame me for that."

Pei Jinzhi wanted to laugh when he saw him playing tricks on others.

"How can I not blame you? If you hadn't secretly helped me, how could that young lady have won my silver? Who am I? I entered the gambling house at the age of three and won all the money in the world - except you." Baili Xi stood up and glared, "Give me half."

Pei Jinzhi was so frustrated by his rogue behavior that he threw something to him and said, "Take it."

It's a scroll.

Baili Xi unfolded it and was surprised by the red seal signed on it: "A Thousand Mountains with Fallen Plum Blossoms, is this Mr. Songshan's authentic work?"

"Is it worth ten thousand gold?" Pei Jinzhi smiled and poured new tea for him and himself.

Li Jiu was secretly amazed.

The prince seemed to be in a good mood today, and he took out all the treasures in his box.

Baili Xi smiled happily, and fearing that he would change his mind, he immediately put it in his chest and asked: "How did you know I was looking for this?"

"Earlier this year, someone presented the Emperor with a painting of Mr. Songshan walking in the snow. I heard the Emperor has had it hanging in his study for over half a month. I'm sure he loves it. Mr. Songshan is actually best known for his painting, 'Plum Blossoms Falling on a Thousand Mountains.' If you want to please him, you naturally want to use the best."

Baili Xi's heart warmed: "I never mentioned it, but you took it to heart for me."

"The wife of Pang Xuan, commander of the Imperial Guards, is the sister of the late Emperor's Consort Liang. Although she has some meritorious service, Lian Po is old, and the Emperor is suspicious. A replacement is inevitable. Congratulations in advance, Ziren."

Ziren is Baili Xi's courtesy name.

Baili Xi punched Pei Jinzhi in the chest: "Good brother, I know everything."

Li Jiu was extremely worried: "If you want to thank me, then thank me. Why are you targeting our prince?"

"Hey, why are you so anxious about him? He's become quite capable now."

Baili Xi picked up the bowl and took a big sip, then winked and said:

"Guess what the person you love just said."

Pei Jinzhi stood still like a mountain and didn't bother to pay attention to him.

"Who?" Li Jiu chimed in. "Miss Sang?"

"Oh, so her last name is Sang. Her brother calls her Awan, so could it be Sang Wan?"

Baili Xi repeated the name over and over again, and the more he called it, the better it sounded: "She lives up to her name, graceful as a startled swan, elegant as a swimming dragon, beautiful."

Searching his brain and scratching his head, this is the only compliment he knows besides "wow".

Pei Jinzhi spoils the mood:

"It's too late. It's too late."

Baili Xi choked on his tea. "Late? Oh, it's all good, all good. Better late than never. Right?"

"If you have to fart, hurry up and fart. I've been out for too long today. If you don't tell me, I'm leaving."

His name Sang Wan sounded like an old pervert, which Pei Jinzhi hated.

"I asked Miss Sang, 'The prince is weak, what do you like about him?' Guess what she said to me?"

Baili Xi couldn't contain his curiosity:

"She said she was a little weak, that's why she had sex seven times in one night."

Pei Jinzhi sprayed a mouthful of hot tea onto Baili Xi's face and started coughing madly.

"Ahem...she..."

Pei Jinzhi was at a loss for words.

Li Jiu couldn't help laughing so hard that he fell down.

Baili Xi wiped his face with a handkerchief and looked at the expressions of the master and servant, seeming to be relieved: "Is this girl lying? I said..."

Li Jiu raised his lips and smiled: "Master, Miss Sang is really a person of temperament, she pours out everything."

He said to Baili Xi seriously, "But this matter cannot be concealed. After all, the maid who brought hot water to the room knows it."

Well, he is the hot water, he is the evidence.

Baili Xi screamed, "Wen Ruo, you are terrifyingly strong."

The next second, he leaned forward again eagerly:

"Tell me, what kind of magic medicine did you take?"

Pei Jinzhi was speechless, frowning and sneering:

"You can't do it anymore?"

Baili Xi's eyes widened, dissatisfied: "What the hell, I'm pretty good. But, seven times..."

He showed an envious look: "Wen Ruo, tell me quickly, what medicine are you taking?"

"Born with supernatural powers, it's hard to give up." Pei Jinzhi deliberately teased him, "I'm sorry I can't help you."

"Tsk." Baili Xi turned his head away, "I don't believe it."

"believe it or not."

"Next time I'll live next door to you."

Baili Xi smiled in a very obscene way.

"Okay, let's get down to business." Pei Jinzhi knocked on the table.

Baili Xi saw that it was getting late, and immediately put on a serious expression:

"The Emperor was furious when he heard about the assassination attempt in the street. Concubine Rong was weeping, fearing that something bad had happened to her sister, the Princess Jianing, so he ordered me to lead a team to protect her. Wenruo, the team is still on the way, but I thought of you, so I came here early."

Pei Jinzhi looked at him and smiled: "Tell the truth."

"Hey! You're such a stubborn person, how can you please a woman?" Baili Xi rolled his eyes at him, knowing he couldn't hide anything from him, so he just let it all out.

"You are getting married, Wen Ruo. The decree granting the marriage is in my hands. The emperor has ordered me to deliver it privately to the Princess Jianing. Whether the marriage will go through depends on her wishes."

Pei Jinzhi's expression remained calm. He had anticipated this. "I guessed it."

"You actually agreed to this marriage?" Baili Xi frowned. "Then Miss Sang will be your concubine?"

He couldn't help but worry for Sang Wan. The Princess Jianing was not someone who was easy to deal with.

"She is not a concubine. I will not marry Jianing."

Pei Jinzhi lowered his head and blew away the hot steam from the teacup.

Baili Xi had no doubts about his ability:

"You don't have much time left. I've read the imperial edict. The emperor is considerate of you. He wants Jianing to spend a month with you before issuing the edict. That way, you two will spend time together day and night, and your feelings will grow over time. The edict will be the icing on the cake. He doesn't want to be the bad guy."

"I have no romantic feelings for her at all. Whether it lasts a month or a year, it's nothing."

"Of course. I see that your heart is now with Sang Wan, how could there be another woman. But I see this girl's identity..."

Baili Xi is not stupid. Through Sang Daqing's virtue, he also knows that Sang Wan comes from a poor family.

After all, Pei Jinzhi was the eldest son of the Duke of Zhenguo. Even if he wanted to marry according to his own wishes, it was impossible for a commoner woman to become the mistress of his mansion.

Such a beauty, being able to be Pei Jinzhi's concubine is a great blessing. But she is too beautiful, which mistress can accommodate her in the future?

"Wen Ruo, tsk tsk, favoring a concubine and neglecting one's wife is against the law." He was worried about Pei Jinzhi's future in the inner palace.

Pei Jinzhi was speechless. What did this have to do with anything?

"Do you still want to marry her?"

Baili Xi was surprised.

Pei Jinzhi was stunned for a second:

"I don't have a wife, and she's not a concubine."

He had never thought of marrying. Being alone was good, free to come and go without worries, and free and easy.

But if it's her...it seems...

The image of Sang Wan in a red wedding gown suddenly appeared in his mind.

Pei Jinzhi shook his head, trying to get rid of this inappropriate scene.

He must have been confused by Baili Xi.

There was nothing going on between him and Sang Wan.

"Oh, I see. You want her to be your concubine!" Baili Xi suddenly understood and clapped his hands:

"What a brilliant move! With a wife at home and flags flying outside, he can have both wives and enjoy the happiness of having two wives, without the worry of women fighting among each other. Wen Ruoshi is truly a role model for a real man! I admire you! I admire you!"

Pei Jinzhi was stunned. What did he say?

He didn't say anything, but this person figured out so much?

Why didn’t I realize that Baili was crazy before?

Keeping a mistress? Ha. Are you afraid that those censors will be too idle and have nothing to do and run into them and get themselves killed?

Li Jiu couldn't stand it any longer and quietly retreated to the door.
