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

Sang Wan finally understood everything.

She didn't die, so not only did she have to reflect on herself, but she also had to plead for mercy for the murderer. This is really ridiculous.

Meow.

You want to bribe her with just a gold hairpin? That's such a nice thought.

"Ma'am, you are right. I will definitely reflect on this." When Pei Jinzhi asked her to pull out her tongue, she should have rolled up her sleeves and done it herself.

Kang and Liao's mother secretly exchanged glances and were very satisfied with her attitude:

"I'm relieved to see you're so sensible. Remember, you're just here to bring good luck to the Crown Prince. You're not a wife or a concubine. If you really want to be considered one, you can barely be considered a concubine. In this mansion, we'll have plenty of opportunities to spend time together. Men are prone to getting bored with the old and liking the new. Without the protection of a strong family, their looks fade, and their wealth and honor are like passing clouds, fleeting."

Sang Wan: "Yes, yes, yes. Thank you, Madam, for your advice."

Wife and concubine? Forget it all! Destroy.

"Go ahead. If you can get this done, I'll credit you with this achievement. One day I'll persuade the prince to take you as his concubine and ensure you stay rich and prosperous."

Lift your grandmother's legs.

Sang Wan bowed his head, saluted, and quietly withdrew.

Whoever wants to be a wife or concubine can be one, she doesn't care.

But Qianlu wants to live? Bah, he’s dreaming.

On the way back, Yun Que was indignant:

"The prince said he calls you Grandma, so what right does she have to humiliate you? Qian Lu is Mama Liao's nephew. I think they were the ones who instigated this."

Sang Wan remembered what medicine Yuanzi Qianlu mentioned that night.

Could it be that the person who had an affair with him was Kang?

In order to protect him, Kang even resorted to coercion and bribery towards Sang Wan. This money must be extremely important to her.

"Where is Qian Lu being held now?"

Yun Que stopped walking, looked around and saw no one before whispering, "The old lady imprisoned him in the dungeon of the mansion last night, and she wants to wait until the prince calms down before dealing with him. Do we really need to intervene in this matter?"

Sang Wan lowered her eyes and thought for a moment: "Take me there, don't alarm others."

All wealthy families have dungeons to keep servants who have committed crimes, and the Pei Mansion is no exception.

The dungeon was near the ancestral hall of the Pei Mansion. The stone steps leading down were covered with moss. It was dark and damp. Sang Wan walked to the dungeon entrance. The iron gate was locked.

"No one is watching?" She felt something was wrong.

Yun Que frowned: "That shouldn't be the case. Grandma, it's dark and spooky here, let's go up."

"You stay here, I'll go check it out." Sang Wan took out her hairpin and fiddled with the lock, and it opened in a few seconds.

This skill was taught to him by Sang Daqing himself. Every time his mother, angry, kicked him out and locked the door early, he would always be able to pick the lock and come back. He was considered the originator of the petty theft business.

The iron gate was pushed open a little, and she slipped in sideways, revealing a long, dark corridor in front of her.

Sang Wan took advantage of the little light outside and walked inside. After a few steps, she saw a man squatting in the corner, tied up with his hands and feet in chains. It was Qian Lu.

There were two people standing in front of him, one was the guard; the other had a black cloak covering his head, so his face could not be seen clearly.

"I won't leave. I'll die if I go out without money. I might as well die here." Qian Lu spat.

"What nonsense are you talking about? I took such a big risk to save you, and you got angry." The woman's voice sounded old, and Sang Wan found it unfamiliar.

"Go tell her that I won't go anywhere without five hundred taels of silver. If the prince wants to kill me, I'll take everyone with me."

The woman was furious: "How dare you threaten me."

"Why shouldn't I be afraid? I'm just a worthless person, and if I die, I can drag a few people down with me."

"I don't have five hundred taels. My wife said this one hundred taels is all her savings. If you still remember her kindness, take this silver and run away, and don't come back."

Qian Lu sneered evilly, "Alright. Don't worry, I'll take the money and won't betray her. Untie me."

The gatekeeper bent down to untie him. The woman's voice continued, "Leave the dungeon and go through the little hole behind the ancestral hall. Someone will meet you outside."

"I see." Qian Lu said in a deep voice, "Is that old Taoist's thing worth a hundred taels?"

"Grandfather, just be content! This hundred taels is all I scraped together to give you. How can I possibly come up with another hundred taels? Even if you kill me, you won't have enough."

Qian Lu laughed, his laughter creepy: "Okay, then forget it."

"Qian Lu, I advise you to quit while you're ahead. If you push people too far, no one will end up well." The woman lowered her voice, very angry.

Qian Lu seemed to consider it for a moment, then added, "Once I'm free, I'll meet you at the City God Temple at the east end of town. 50 taels, not a cent less. After the matter is done, I'll come back and get the other 50 taels from you."

"Okay, okay, please leave!" The woman seemed fed up with him. "If you don't leave now, the prince will come and we will all die."

Sang Wan quickly retreated to the iron gate, quickly locked it, and pulled Yunque to hide behind a rockery nearby.

The two of them looked out through the gap in the rockery.

Qian Lu swaggered out of the dungeon, followed by the woman.

She picked up a stone, gestured a few times, and knocked on the gatekeeper's head. The gatekeeper slowly sat down on the ground along the wall.

"Alright, it's bleeding, you guys should leave now."

Qian Lu even touched the woman's butt before leaving.

The woman turned around and lifted her hat. Skylark murmured, "It's her."

"Who is she?" Sang Wan was curious.

"She is Madam Wang, who serves Aunt Zhao."

Sang Wan suddenly realized that it was her.

Qian Lu takes advantage of both the master and the servant? Oh my god...

"Qian Lu has run away. We must inform the prince as soon as possible."

Yunque was shocked and scared. She wondered if they would be implicated by appearing here.

"Don't go." Sang Wan pulled Yun Que back and pursed her lips: "Go quickly, pretend we were never here."

Qian Lu escaped, so Pei Jinzhi couldn't have no backup plan.

The lark suddenly realized and nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

The less trouble, the better.

Back at Zhaoyun Courtyard, Pei Jinzhi was just about to walk out.

Seeing her come back, he immediately stopped and asked with concern: "What is it that Kang wants you to do?"

It was obvious that he was extremely disgusted by the mention of the word Kang. His brows were furrowed as if he was about to get angry.

Sang Wan told the truth: "She gave me a gold hairpin and wanted me to ask you to spare Qian Lu's life."

"Oh?" Pei Jinzhi frowned, "Are you willing?"

"Taking money but not doing anything has always been my principle. My Lord, he must be severely punished."

She has no problem with money.

Pei Jinzhi smiled brightly and patted her head: "Aren't you afraid that she will come back and take revenge?"

"I've offended you anyway, so this one time won't make a difference." She happily showed off her gold hairpin.

Last time she put a hairpin against Kang's neck, she didn't believe Kang would forget it. This time she gave him a hairpin to try to resolve the past grudge, but even a dog wouldn't believe it.

Sang Wan opened the wooden box and showed it to Pei Jinzhi, "Is it shiny?"

As for the idea of ​​wives and concubines, she was too lazy to mention it.

Pei Jinzhi raised his eyebrows and smiled. His eyes were gentle as he looked at her greedy appearance, but he pretended to be disgusted: "Vulgar."

Tsk. Sang Wan rolled her eyes at him.

Young people don't know the value of gold, but when they are old and have no money, they know the hardship. She is not a young man from a wealthy family like Pei Jinzhi who is ignorant of the sufferings of the world. She must work hard to save a lot of money.

Pei Jinzhi's eyes accidentally fell on Sang Wan's skirt, and he raised his eyebrow: "You went to the dungeon?"

Sang Wan followed his gaze and lifted up her dress to see that the edges were indeed covered with moss.

She lowered her head, feigning ignorance. "What dungeon? I just passed by the lotus pond, and I might have gotten some dirt on me."

Pei Jinzhi curled his lips: "What did you see? What did you hear?"

Sang Wan covered her mouth and blinked: "I'm blind and deaf, I didn't see anything, and I didn't hear anything."

Pei Jinzhi smiled playfully and did not ask any further questions.

She looked around the courtyard, as if searching for someone: "By the way, where's Bai Shi? Why is he gone again?"

"He's gone." Pei Jinzhi looked down at her, picked the fallen flowers from her hair, and asked casually, "He asked me to ask you, do you want to study medicine with him?"

Sang Wan shook his head, his hair standing on end at the thought of the centipede crawling on him. "No, he always teases me."

Pei Jinzhi chuckled, which was exactly what he wanted. Bai Shi wanted to take her as his disciple and travel around, but he naturally refused.

"If you don't want to, then don't learn. How about I let you go home tomorrow?" He was so happy that he started to please her.

"Really?!" Sang Wan jumped up excitedly.

Then, she deliberately took a step back and looked at him:

"Hey, Pei Jinzhi, you're not trying to trick me out and kill me to silence me, are you?"

Pei Jinzhi raised his hand and tapped her head lightly: "Yes, you are scared?"

"Afraid." Sang Wan narrowed her eyes and smiled sweetly.

Her smile was unique, her eyebrows and eyes like the moon, her black eyes as clear as pond water, shimmering with light. The corners of her lips were raised like a small boat, and the dimples on both sides were perfectly placed, like a bright moon.

She just smiled and did nothing, but a breeze blew gently from her body, carrying the fragrance of flowers, which was intoxicating.

Pei Jinzhi sighed in his heart, embracing the breeze in his arms and holding the bright moon in his heart, it was so wonderful.

The wind lifted the veil, leaving him with nowhere to hide his thoughts.

"Then stay, okay?" he said in a hoarse voice.

The low and soft voice was magnetic, like the gurgling stream, slowly stirring the fallen flowers. Sang Wan was a little drunk.

But the rumors about Kang's wives, concubines and mistresses suddenly came to her mind, and she instantly regained her sanity.

She sneered, her eyes as calm as the water, suppressing the slight trembling at the bottom of the lake: "No, I have five hundred taels of gold, I want to go to the end of the world with my sword."

Pei Jinzhi's eyes grew dark, a sense of loneliness welling up, but he suppressed it with a smile. He pretended to be nonchalant and jokingly said, "Where do you want to go, lady?"

Sang Wan held her chin with her hand, and subconsciously tapped her lips with her slender fingertips: "Hmm...as long as it's not the Pei Mansion."

Pei Jinzhi's smile froze, and he felt internally injured due to anger.
