The abandoned concubine who transmigrated woke up shouting "Long live the widow!"

Seeing Li Qianqian's anxious expression, Jingxue smiled and said, "A bet is a bet, what are you afraid of? It's not like you caused this trouble!"

Hearing Jingxue's words, Li Qianqian said aggrievedly, "Cousin, why are you still laughing? I came to ask you for help!"

"What help do you need? I won't pay your brother's gambling debts," Jingxue said bluntly.

"No, cousin, that's not what I meant. My brother said they seem to be cheating on him." Li Qianqian looked at Jingxue pleadingly.

Jingxue said, "That's normal! There's no such thing as gambling without some kind of trickery. Do you think it's all about good luck? I can manage other things, but I don't care about gambling."

Li Qianqian was stunned. She didn't expect her cousin to say that. It was too direct and surprised her!

"Did your brother send you to find me?" Jingxue asked.

Li Qianqian shook her head, "No, I just found out about this myself. A few days ago, I heard that Xiaoze was bitten by a snake, so I wanted to come and visit him. But the headmistress wouldn't give me leave. I didn't have any classes this afternoon, so I went to find my brother to visit Xiaoze. But someone said that my brother owed him a lot of money and asked me to help my brother pay it off. He even showed me an IOU."

Then she whispered, "Cousin, several officials have targeted my father since he returned to the capital. It's probably because of my uncle's involvement. My father didn't seem to care, but he didn't expect my brother to cause such trouble. I'm afraid someone will take this opportunity to impeach my father!"

Upon hearing this, Jingxue couldn't help but admire how precocious these children were! They were really good at using nepotism and moral blackmail!

"Your brother gambles, doesn't he? I helped him this time, but he'll do it again, and next time it might be even more. What will you do then?"

Li Qianqian looked up at Jingxue and said, "I...I don't know either!"

Jingxue looked at the tearful little girl and sighed, "Let's go! I'll go with you to take a look."

"Thank you, cousin!" Li Qianqian's face immediately brightened.

"Hey? I just said I was going to take a look, I didn't say I was going to help you!" Although Jingxue said this, she had already decided to teach Li Guangxing a lesson, otherwise this kid would easily cause trouble in the future.

Upon arriving at Jingren Palace, where the men of noble families resided, the eunuch at the gate did not recognize Jingxue. Jingxue then produced her personal waist token.

Jingxue has already used her supernatural abilities to investigate, and there's still a group of people gambling inside!

Li Guangxing stood miserably in the corner.

Not all of these scions of noble families are good people.

"Your Highness, the house is inhabited by men, so it is inconvenient for you to go in! If you are looking for someone, this servant will find them for you!" the eunuch at the gate said, bowing.

Eunuch Jingxue walked inside, saying, "No need, what's wrong with being a man? Are we supposed to take off our clothes in broad daylight?"

"Your Highness, Your Highness!" The little eunuch was about to stop Jingxue when Runyue grabbed him by the back of the neck and pulled him aside.

Seeing that the little eunuch was about to shout, Shadow Five reached out and pressed his mute pressure point. The little eunuch opened his mouth but couldn't say a word. He was also frightened by Shadow Five's gaze and shut his mouth completely.

Jingxue walked to the door of the gambling den and said to Yingwu, "Guard the door!"

"Yes!"

"Bang!" Jingxue kicked open the palace door, startling everyone inside. They were all so engrossed in their work that they hadn't heard anyone coming.

"Who goes there? Get out!" said a young man who looked like a nobleman sitting at the table.

But when they saw that it was Jingxue, and that they had all attended classes together, they naturally recognized her as Princess Consort Zhan. The people bowed with different expressions.

"Greetings to the Princess Consort of War!" The people inside the room rose and bowed.

"No need for formalities. I've heard there's something fun here, and I'd like to come and have some fun too!" Jingxue said, pulling up a chair and sitting down with an air of nonchalance.

Seeing Jingxue arrive, Li Guangxing immediately felt emboldened. He moved closer to Jingxue and whispered, "Cousin, stop playing around!"

Jingxue raised an eyebrow. "Why? Don't worry! I'm not here to arrest gamblers, I'm really here to have fun. Everyone, please sit down! Don't be shy!"

The young nobleman standing opposite raised an eyebrow. "Your Highness, your cousin owes us all a lot of money! You can pay off his debts before we play again."

"Fine! Hand over the IOUs you have first, and I'll pay you back whatever amount you have! After today, I won't acknowledge any of them!" Jingxue still had a smile on her face.

Everyone in the room smiled, including Li Guangxing.

People started taking IOUs out of their pockets.

Jingxue looked at each one one by one, and in the end, the total came to 9,387 taels of silver.

After placing the IOU down, Jingxue said, "Please sit down! I will pay back all this money before I leave today!"

The young nobleman sat down opposite Jingxue and said, "Your Highness, how can we believe you without any proof?"

Jingxue scoffed, took out a stack of hundred-tael silver notes from her bosom, and waved them. "I said I would pay it back before it's over, and if it's not enough, I'll have more! If you want me to pay you back, you'd better have fun with me first. Otherwise, I'll take the IOU to the Emperor and let him see it!"

Upon hearing this, everyone felt uneasy. Gambling in the Eastern Palace was forbidden. If the Emperor found out, their fathers or brothers would beat them half to death!

Li Guangxing even opened his mouth and said, "Cousin, please don't!"

"Shut up! Get out of here and watch!" Jingxue snapped at him, her brows furrowing in fright. Li Guangxing shrank back, and Li Qianqian pulled him aside and gave him a meaningful look.

The young nobleman gave a silent, cold laugh. "Since Your Highness is so interested, then let's play!"

“Let’s start by playing whatever you guys usually play!” Jingxue said with a smile.

"Alright!" the young nobleman said, gesturing to the person next to him.

It was a man who looked like a follower, holding a dice cup in his hand. He placed the dice cup on the table and opened it, revealing three dice inside.

"Your Highness, we're playing a dice game, guessing high or low. Whoever guesses correctly wins," the man said.

“Okay!” Jingxue nodded.

Then Jingxue asked, "How much silver is bet per bet?"

The young nobleman opposite said, "We play for ten taels of silver per round. If Your Highness thinks it's too little, we can change it and increase the amount of silver, how about that?" He then looked at Jingxue provocatively.

"Okay, I think we'll go with a thousand taels each time!"

As soon as Jingxue finished speaking, surprised voices immediately rang out from around her: "So big?"

"Huh? This is way too big!"

The young nobleman smirked and said, "As Your Highness wishes!"

“Okay! Let’s begin!” Jingxue said with a smile.

The attendant immediately picked up the dice cup and began shaking it with both hands.

Jingxue's abilities have improved since then, so she no longer needs to release plants to investigate. Therefore, when the attendant put down the dice cup, the sum of the three dice inside was 9, and anything less than 10 was considered small.

However, the young nobleman calmly took out a thousand taels of silver and said, "I'll bet on big!"

“Then I can only bet on small!” Jingxue also counted out a thousand taels of silver and placed it on the table.
