After rebirth, the prince will fight in the house for me

Chapter 142 This disease is indeed serious

While the master and servant were talking, the carriage had arrived in front of the Weaving Department.

Ji Zhen stopped the carriage and saw that the door of the Weaving Department was closed. She just asked the boy to go and open the door. The people inside saw that it was the Lu family's carriage and quickly closed the Yamen.

"Young lady, this..."

Ji Zhen was helpless and looked at Qu Yunchu who was getting out of the carriage.

"Rare."

Qu Yunchu smiled coldly: "Eunuch Liu actually doesn't want to see the God of Wealth sometimes."

"What should we do now."

Ji Zhen also figured out that Liu Quan was determined to purge the major imperial merchants and deliberately kept a distance from the Lu family.

"You said that Eunuch Liu's attitude towards the Lu family is so ambiguous. Is it the intention of the eunuch or the Holy Empress in the palace?"

Qu Yunchu asked Ji Zhen and Xiao Ning with great interest.

"Although the eunuch is loyal to the second master, after all, he is acting on behalf of the emperor and cannot show favoritism."

Ji Zhen stroked her chin and said suspiciously: "As for the empress, although she is looking towards young master Yanchao, since the death of the eldest young lady, the Holy Empress has not issued any oral instructions, nor has she relied on young master Yanchao. I mean, it didn’t eliminate any authority or business of the Lu family.”

"So, now Eunuch Liu is just doing a routine job to rectify the imperial business atmosphere for the court."

Qu Yunchu smiled faintly and said, "Let's go to Hongshun Gambling House to try our luck. Eunuch Liu will take the initiative to come out to meet the guests."

After saying that, he called everyone and went directly to the gambling house.

Since the imperial court ordered the purge of imperial merchants, the business of gambling houses and brothels everywhere has been much sluggish.

Especially big gambling houses such as Hongshun Gambling House, which are well-known far and wide, usually rely on those dandy boys, but recently they have been left behind.

Qu Yunchu led Ji Zhen and Xiao Ning into the gambling house and saw only a few tables of people gambling.

"Hey, it's the Second Young Madam. The storm is getting tight right now, so you don't want to avoid suspicion."

When the big shopkeeper saw her walking straight in, he hurriedly came forward to greet her.

"What do I have to avoid?"

Qu Yunchu pursed his lips and replied with great satisfaction: "We in the Lu family can sit upright and are not afraid of checking."

Even she couldn't believe what she said.

Others dared to criticize the Lu family, so they could only lick their smiling faces and agree:

"That's right. The Lu family has dedicated their whole life to the imperial court over the years. Even when they are in front of the emperor, the emperor will show some respect."

It was just some casual talk, and Qu Yunchuquan took it as a joke.

"In this case, the shopkeeper will arrange a gambling game for me. I haven't been to the casino for a long time, and my hands are quite rusty. I have to practice my luck."

Qu Yunchu directly asked Xiao Ning to take out the box containing the banknotes and show it to everyone.

Everyone's eyes turned green when they looked at the white banknotes.

This is at least 10 taels.

No one knows that among the gamblers in Hongshun Gambling House, only the second young lady of the Lu family has the most money.

But in such a high-stakes game, who would dare to take part except those from the major imperial merchants and the Textile Department?

Each and every one of them had a look of embarrassment on their faces.

Qu Yunchu expected that Liu Quan would not let go of such a great opportunity to make money, and deliberately shook his head angrily: "It seems that no one is willing to gamble with me. It just so happens that I heard that many gambling houses in Shangjing City are quite famous. Now, It's spring and the flowers are blooming. It's a good idea to stop by Shangjing City along the way and come back with a windfall."

"How dare you neglect the Second Young Madam."

The big shopkeeper is a very discerning person. With so many white banknotes slipping away from the gambling house, the owner behind it will naturally not comply.

"Second Young Madam, please go upstairs to rest for a while. I will make up my mind to satisfy Young Madam."

He quickly led people to the second floor and found a few capable gamblers to play dice with the second young lady.But after a cup of tea, Qu Yunchu deliberately lost tens of thousands of taels of silver to the gamblers.

After the news spread, it didn't take long for Liu Quan to bring someone over.

"Oh, Second Young Madam, we just heard that you went to the Weaving Department. We have been feeling unwell for the past two days and are recuperating in the mansion."

Liu Quan deliberately glared at the boys in front of him and cursed: "These incompetent people will not invite the Second Young Madam to the Yamen."

After he finished speaking, his expression changed, and he said with a smile: "Our family didn't hear about this, so we rushed over here dragging the sick body."

He was just pretending to be sick and wanted to put it off, but after Qu Yunchu glanced at his face, he suddenly frowned:

"Eunuch Liu doesn't look very good. I'm afraid his illness is indeed serious."

The young eunuch Laixi next to him was unhappy when he heard this: "What did the Second Young Madam say?"

Liu Quan was also a little unhappy.

"Naturally speaking from the heart."

Qu Yunchu said bluntly: "Eunuch Liu, has he been feeling weak recently, suffering from insomnia and dreams?"

"How did the Second Young Madam know?"

Liu Quan was a little surprised.

He has always been in good health. Although he is determined to clean up the imperial merchants these days, he has not done it himself.

Just in the past few days, he suddenly felt that his physical condition was plummeting.

Qu Yunchu did not answer directly, but continued to ask: "Eunuch Liu, has he felt that his temper has become weird recently, he doesn't like to communicate with others, and he often talks to himself?"

Impressed by her words, Liu Quan slowly fell into silence.

"Eunuch Liu, do you like to stay in dark places lately and don't like the light?"

Qu Yunchu stared at him with deep eyes.

Liu Quan did not remain silent this time, but pursed his lips and nodded heavily.

"The Second Young Madam is indeed not simple. No wonder the boys around the eunuch all praise the Young Madam for her abilities."

Liu Quan complimented sincerely.

"Don't dare, don't dare."

Qu Yunchu continued to look at his face. It had only been a few months since he had seen him, and this man's bones had undergone earth-shaking changes compared to before.

The cheekbones have become extremely prominent, the palace of life has turned dark and yellow, which has extended to the bun, and there are a lot of white hairs visible to the naked eye.

His face was dull and dull, extending all the way to his ears. It was an obvious sign of someone whose end was approaching.

To be able to destroy a person with profound blessings into such a state in such a short period of time is to commit an extremely sinister evil spirit.

"Can my disease still be cured?"

Liu Quan asked worriedly.

Qu Yunchu shook his head thoughtfully.

"How dare you, Madam Second Young Master, how dare you curse my Master Weaver."

Laixi scolded angrily: "Even if you are the second young lady of the Lu family, you cannot be so rude to Lord Zhizhi."

"presumptuous."

After Liu Quan glared at Laixi, he turned to Qu Yunchu and said in a friendly manner: "Second Young Madam, our family's disease is not particularly serious. We eat and drink normally every day, but we always have nightmares at night. I also asked the doctors at the government office to check my pulse, and they all said it was no serious problem."

"Yes, father-in-law, you are just overworked, don't listen to the alarmist talk of the second young lady."

Laixi glanced at Qu Yunchu with dissatisfaction: "I think the second young lady is jealous that you, old man, have caused trouble to the Lu family these days, and deliberately come to seek bad luck for you."
