Chapter 18
The tall man was in a good mood, and even his voice was a lot more friendly than before, "Little brother, you are still a little tender when you play cards with brother. When you climb out later, bark like a dog twice. What happened today, brother will not Comparing with you."

With that said, she was about to hug the money in front of Shen Lingxi into her arms.

"Wait." Shen Lingxi looked at him and smiled, "I haven't played the cards yet, how do you know that the winner must be you?"

As soon as these words came out, the scene fell silent instantly.

Shen Lingxi directly opened the hole card.

"The supreme... is the supreme!"

People in the crowd exclaimed, "What kind of luck is this, Tian Pai met Supreme... This is a win, it must be 500 taels of silver!"

Liu Si has never been so happy in his life!

500 two!
He's a half-baked guy, an apprentice he taught!
Won those two killers 500 taels!

This made Liu Si happier than killing them for Liu Si!
Shen Lingxi watched Liu Si dancing, holding Yin Zi in her arms for a while, and ran to the two of them to make faces, and rolled her eyes with a smile.

And such a smile, in the eyes of the two foolish people, is simply a provocation that adds fuel to the flames!
"What's the matter, let's start climbing?" Shen Lingxi asked the manager of the gambling shop to convert the silver into silver bills, put them in his purse, and said to the tall man: "When you climb out later, you bark twice like a dog, and I'll see you tomorrow." How about just coming here and giving you a chance to come back?"

For a gambler, what is the biggest temptation?
Tell him that the next one can come back.

The murderous desire in the tall man's heart, wishing that Shen Lingxi would die immediately, was delayed by a day in an instant.

Tomorrow, after he makes a comeback, he will skin this person and make him die without a place to bury him. Only then can he make up for the insult he suffered today and relieve the hatred in his heart.

Thinking of this, the tall man patted his younger brother on the shoulder, and the two of them fell on the ground unwillingly. Amidst the laughter of the crowd, they crawled out like a dog barking.

Shen Lingxi turned her head and whispered to Liu Si: "They have lost all their money. For tomorrow, they will definitely come to find the buyer who missed the appointment to get money. You can find out who the buyer is by staring at them. who is it."

Liu Si's eyes lit up, he hurriedly responded, and followed them away.

After working for a long time, Shen Lingxi was so hungry that her chest was pressed against her back, so she went downstairs and opened a private room, ordered a table full of food for herself, and started to enjoy it.

After she left the casino, Chu Yan, who had been watching coldly on the second floor, walked downstairs.

He paced back and forth, standing still at Shen Lingxi's previous position, with a pair of cold starry eyes, looking towards the opposite side, with his finger bones slightly curved, he lightly pointed at the direction of nothingness directly opposite him, and asked in a deep voice, "Tell me, did she just keep going?" Who are you looking at, who are you smiling at?"

The manager next to him was unclear, so, "Maybe...she brought her accomplice secretly? But the crowd is far away from the table, so they can't see Tian Laojiu's face."

"It's strange if you can't see it, let Chunjun go and check that person." Chu Yan commanded thoughtfully, "Let the embroidered clothes envoy follow the Tian family brothers, they are short of money, and they will definitely find a buyer, as long as the two parties agree , Take it directly, and bring it back to the Beiya, so that it can be interrogated."

Shen Lingxi had enough to eat and drink, so she turned into a tailor shop and bought plain women's clothing to put on, removed the disguise on her face, hired a car, and went to Dongshi to buy some high-quality rice paper, paint, bamboo wood, silk thread, etc. , loaded a full car, and then slowly returned to Wangxian Village.

The east end of the village, where Shen's Coffin Shop and Fu'an Hall are located, is already completely deserted.

White flags stand on both sides of the official road, and the coffin sheds built with fine white satin stretch for three or four miles.

A porridge stove was built under the coffin shed, where meaty porridge and rice were cooked.

Old and weak women and children in ragged clothes lined up to receive porridge.

This is what Shen Lingxi told Zhuang Sheng and the others to do before he left in the morning.

It's only been a few hours, and it's already very decent.

The carriage stopped at the corner gate of Fu'an Hall, Ah Xiang came up to help unload the goods, and told her everything that happened when she was not there.

"Sister Lingxi, you haven't been here for a day. Mu Shaoqing came to see you several times, asking you where you went and when you came back. She seemed very angry. Her eyes were so wide that she wanted to eat people."

"The yamen of Dali Temple brought someone from the Hou's mansion to recognize your newly buried body. Guess what, that man is actually a big steward of the Hou's mansion, named Liu Si, who has been working with the Hou Ye all year round. .”

"Since Liu's family came, weeping very sadly. As you ordered, lend them the east wing of Fu'an Hall as a mourning hall, and set up an ice platform for him to keep his body from perishing."

"Zhuang Sheng has sent someone to send news to the capital. It is estimated that in the morning tomorrow, everyone in the capital will know that Xuanpinghou's mansion is going to do something for Yaoniang. The people who come to eat tomorrow will probably be worse than today. There are more, and some are busy. This money is really spent like running water, just today, I spent a full 50 taels!"

"You go to the Golden Immortal Temple and ask the female crown to send more people to help." Shen Lingxi confessed.

A response.

After hearing so much from him, Shen Lingxi didn't mention Shen Yuyao alone, and asked curiously, "Where's Shen Yuyao? Didn't you come?"

"It's here." Ah Xiang scratched her head, not knowing what to say, "Even when Mu Shaoqing was around, she was quite normal, but when Mu Shaoqing left, she just huddled there alone, without saying a word. If you don't speak, it's as if you have lost your soul. Didn't she let Xuan Pinghou bury Yaoniang? Why are you so negative?"

Shen Lingxi was startled, not knowing what to think of, her eyes dimmed, and her voice was soft and authentic:
"If a person is brought up like a cat or dog, she can do whatever the owner asks her to do. She is obedient, well-behaved, and sensible. The owner loves her very much, and she feels the happiest. "

"But suddenly one day, she discovered that all of this was nothing but flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water. The master's love for her was conditional and would change. If it was given to her before, it will be given to others in the future. She held it in his hand. None of the things that make her feel happy are her own. The past is fake, and the future seems to be hopeless."

"The heart is already at a loss, but the body can't help but obey the long-standing habit and obey the master. I wish everything could go back to the past..."

Ah Xiang scratched his head and became even more confused, "Sister Lingxi, why can't I understand what you said? Are you talking about Shen Yuyao, or a cat, or a dog?"

Shen Lingxi came back to her senses, collected the emotions in her eyes, chuckled dumbly, and winked at him.

"Shen Yuyao is just listening to Shen Ji's words to curry favor with Mu Huai'an. I said this just to tell you that the road ahead is difficult, even if it is a bit tiring, you have to learn to stand up and be a person, not I only want to change my owner, and I want to be someone else's cat or dog. Only in this way can I live freely."

After saying this, she took a step and walked into Fu'an Hall.

And in a corner she didn't see, a slender figure stood tremblingly holding the corner of the wall, his black and white eyes were already full of tears...
