Marrying a royal playboy and becoming a glamorous matriarch

Qin Ping'an's eyes lit up, and he quickly nodded, "Okay, just as Madam says."

Under Qin Ping'an's deliberate arrangement, Wei Lanxin won ten rounds in a row, winning over a hundred taels of silver, which stunned the gamblers, who all praised her as the "God of Gamblers".

The shouts made Wei Lan feel completely comfortable, her heart was filled with joy, and she laughed repeatedly.

Seeing that Wei Lanxin was about to leave after playing ten rounds, the group of gamblers urged her to stay: "God of Gamblers, why not press your advantage and play a few more rounds? Such good luck doesn't come often."

"Yes, God of Gamblers, please play with us again. Without your divine touch, we probably wouldn't be alive today."

The flattery and praise made Wei Lan feel elated.

She was reluctant to leave; she was riding high on her success, how could she bear to give up now?

Wei Lanxin turned to the eldest prince and said ingratiatingly, "I'm sure I can still win, can you let me play a little longer?"

The eldest prince was well-versed in classics and historical texts from a young age, and was taught to be restrained, patient, and law-abiding. However, Wei Lanxin was always the exception to his principles.

His eyes were full of affection as he gently ruffled Wei Lanxin's soft hair. "If you want to play, then play. You can leave when you're done playing."

Even if he loses money, how much can he lose? The eldest prince never cares about money, which is just an external thing.

Wei Lanxin was overjoyed. She leaned forward and kissed the eldest prince, laughing, "Good boy, you wait, I'll make you a lot of money."

The eldest prince's cheeks flushed red, his heart itching with desire at Wei Lanxin's bold actions.

He looked at Wei Lanxin with shining eyes, finding her adorable in every way. The kind of woman he liked was different from the world, independent and unconventional.

However, Wei Lanxin's luck didn't improve after that.

She first lost all the several hundred taels of silver she had won for free, and then kept thinking about winning it back, so she took out her own silver.

She only woke up when she realized she had no money left in her purse, as if struck by a thunderbolt.

She looked completely incredulous and turned her purse upside down.

Where are the banknotes? Not a single one!

Wei Lanxin's face turned pale, her eyes reddened, and she reached out her hand to the eldest prince again.

At this moment, the eldest prince sensed something was wrong; they felt as if they had fallen into a well-designed trap.

He leaned closer to Wei Lanxin and whispered, "Lanxin, how about we stop playing today and come back another day?"

Wei Lan had lost tens of thousands of taels of silver; how could he be willing to leave like this?

Her eyes widened, and she said resolutely, "No, I have to win back my losses. Give me back my purse right now, Xiao Yu, don't you love me anymore?"

The eldest prince paused in his actions, then immediately handed over the purse. "Alright, go ahead and have some fun. It's just some material possessions."

Wei Lanxin smiled and gave the eldest prince another big kiss. "You wait, I will definitely win!"

With that money, she once again gambled heavily.

After winning a few rounds against the odds, he started losing again and again, losing more and more until he finally emptied all the silver notes in the Crown Prince's purse.

Wei Lanxin was still in a daze until the bookkeeper stopped her from betting any more.

"Sir, you've lost all your betting chips."

Wei Lanxin stared at the bookkeeper with red eyes, incredulous, and demanded loudly, "What did you say? I've lost all my money? How is that possible?"

That's a full 100,000 taels!

The servant impatiently pushed her aside and threw the ledger onto the gambling table.

"Sir, look, every bet you placed is recorded. Our Qian Tai Casino operates with integrity and would never cheat you out of such a small amount of money."

Wei Lanxin quickly stepped forward to look through the ledger, remembering each and every account very clearly.

But she still couldn't believe it—how could she have lost all her money so quickly?

She hasn't turned her fortunes around yet; she's still going to make a fortune. She's destined to become the God of Gamblers!

The eldest prince sighed, took her hand, and said, "Let's go, can we walk now?"

Wei Lan's heart was filled with turbulent emotions, and his whole being was brimming with resentment.

She clenched her hands tightly, unwilling to leave with the eldest prince.

"I'm going to turn things around, I absolutely have to turn things around, I can definitely turn things around! Xiao Yu, don't you believe me?"

The eldest prince had regained his composure and said calmly, "Lanxin, there seems to be something fishy about this. I'll explain everything to you when we get home. Besides, you don't have any leverage to turn things around now. Let's go back first."

Unfortunately, good advice is useless when it comes to a damned devil.

No matter how the eldest prince tried to persuade her, Wei Lanxin remained unwilling to leave.

She felt guilty for suddenly losing so much money, but that made her even more determined to turn things around and win it back.

Suddenly, Wei Lanxin looked at the First Prince with red eyes, "Xiao Yu, how about you vouch for me?"

Hui Lanxin pulled the eldest prince to the bookkeeper and said arrogantly, "This is my husband. I'll trade him for 1000 gambling chips."

Upon hearing this, the eldest prince's face instantly darkened.

He looked at Wei Lanxin in disbelief, gritting his teeth, "You're simply unreasonable."

The eldest prince coldly flicked his sleeves and walked straight out of the gambling den.

Wei Lanxin shivered as she was swept by that cold gaze, which snapped her out of her reverie about the gambling game.

She forgot that the man in front of her was the chosen one of heaven, the only son of the current emperor.

He wasn't always good-tempered; he only learned to be accommodating after falling in love with her.

What's wrong with her today? She's completely confused!

Wei Lanxin rushed forward and grabbed the Crown Prince's arm, refusing to let go. "Xiao Yu, are you going to leave me?"

She raised her small, fair face, her expression full of grievance, her clear eyes filled with pity.

In the past, if she showed a wronged look, the eldest prince would always soften his heart, but this time Qin Xiaoyu did not turn around and walked straight ahead.

Wei Lanxin became extremely anxious and quickly followed, forcibly grabbing the eldest prince's arm and pestering him to talk.

"Xiao Yu, I was wrong. I just wanted to turn things around and get my money back."

"Xiao Yu, please don't ignore me..."

The two argued and bickered until they gradually disappeared around the street corner.

Qin Ping'an, who was watching the two leave from the corner, suddenly smiled, a rare and undisguised smile on his face.

"I never expected that Wei Lanxin and the First Prince, whose love has always been unbreakable, could be separated by so many methods I tried. Now, your little scheme has successfully driven them apart. Madam, you are truly capable."

His tone seemed to carry a sense of helplessness mixed with bitterness.

Wei Qingrou chuckled lightly: "Once you're on the gambling table, it's hard to get off; it's just human nature."

Qin Ping'an shook his head. "That may be true, but how could learned people like the Crown Prince and Wei Lanxin, who are well-versed in poetry and literature, easily sit at the gambling table? Your plan to give away gambling chips for free is much better. Madam, you are truly brilliant."

Wei Qingrou, however, did not want to listen to these empty words. She raised her eyebrows and smiled at him, her expression a mixture of flattery and probing.

"My lord, I am flattered by your kind words. However, could you spare me a few of the silver notes you have?"
