Chapter 51 Not worth mentioning

When Qu Yunchu came out of Hongshun Casino, it was already very late, and she felt sleepy, and she was so tired that she yawned.

Ji Zhen and Ke Yan were ordered to come back and stood by the carriage all the time, but they looked more energetic than the other.

Seeing his young lady coming out, Keyan stepped forward with a smile and asked:
"Miss, miss, how are you? Did you come back tonight with some books?"

Seeing that the two of them had smiles all over their faces, they felt even happier than the one upstairs who won the silver.

She was not in a hurry to answer the little girl's words, and asked back: "Did you two encounter some happy event, and your faces were full of glory? Didn't you go to find the evil Taoist priest, Jizhen, and you managed to get things done so quickly?"

The two of them laughed but said nothing.

I just feel that what happened to Feng Yage tonight is very happy.

The second master's few words not only swept away the moths in Lu's house, but also brought up the matter of the young lady's gambling, which made people dare not pursue it.

Qu Yunchu felt that these two people were really strange today. Since they refused to say anything, he had no choice but to pour some cold water on them to dampen their fun.

"Hey, today is really not a good day. I have met a strong enemy. The gentleman upstairs is really a powerful person. He actually won me 5 taels of silver with just a few cups of tea."

Hearing this number, Keyan almost fainted with fright, and Ji Zhen pursed her lips with some regret.

But Yan staggered over to help her and exclaimed: "Little... miss, it's only been less than two hours, how come you lost so much money?"

Terrified, he grabbed her sleeves tightly and hurriedly suggested: "How about we not go back tonight and go to our parents' house to hide first?"

Ji Zhen didn't think so, the second master couldn't live without the young lady, so how could he care about such a small amount of money.

Besides, it was the second master himself who begged the young lady to gamble.

Now he is not looking forward to the young lady returning to her parents' home.

"Young Madam, let's go home quickly."

Jizhen said quickly.

Those anxious eyes seemed to be saying, if he doesn't go back, the second master should be anxious.

Qu Yunchu now guessed the intention of the madman, so he was not worried about conflict with him because of losing money, and happily got into the carriage with a yawn.

But Yan sat next to her, feeling very uneasy.

"Miss, won't my uncle be angry if we go back like this?"

What my uncle was talking about in the courtyard just now was a little money, and the amount that the young lady lost today was really a bit scary.

Qu Yunchu smiled faintly, ignored Keyan, opened the corner of the curtain, and looked up towards the second floor of the casino.

I saw a pair of eyes staring at the carriage quietly by the dim willow window.

That bloated figure was undoubtedly Liu Quan.

When I was gambling with him just now, I heard the young eunuchs beside him mention that this man was the new favorite recommended to the emperor by the most holy lady in the palace. It was said that his status in the palace was second only to the eunuch Zhang Jinnian.

Liu Quan was sent to Yanyang City at this time, most likely related to Lu Wenqian and Lu Yanchao's uncle and nephew.

However, Lu Wenqian has been acting more cautiously recently, but Lu Yanchao has not restrained himself. It can be seen that this person only targets Lu Wenqian.

"It seems that Mr. Lu's life is not easy."

Thinking of this, she closed the curtain again and shouted outside: "Go back home."

Arriving at Lu's Mansion, the whole mansion was extremely quiet, completely different from what she had expected.

Logically speaking, someone should come out to look for bad luck for the things I did today, but no one stopped me until the gate of Defeng Yage's courtyard.

She glanced at Keyan in confusion. The little girl just covered her mouth and snickered.

Qu Yunchu instantly thought of the frosty face in the yard.

That's right, that crazy critic didn't intend to harm himself. Since he let himself hang out in the casino, he would naturally clear the way for himself.

Thinking of this, she walked into the courtyard with great ease.

The lights in the courtyard were still on, and as soon as Qu Yunchu entered the room, he saw Lu Wenqian drinking slowly with a bowl of soup.

He wanted to go directly to the inner courtyard to rest without saying anything, but Lu Wenqian pointed to the steaming dishes on the table and said, "Drink a bowl of soup to warm up your body."

Just at this moment, a young man in an apron walked in carrying a plate of fragrant dishes.

"My best dish, the secret beef sauce, is here."

The young man put the dishes on the table with a face full of joy. When he raised his eyes, he noticed the figure of a woman beside him.

"Second sister-in-law."

He called out slightly surprised.

Qu Yunchu took a careful look at the young man, saw that his pupils were clear and bright, shining like a river of stars, and immediately remembered that this person was Lu Wenjing, a concubine from a long family.

"The fourth one is back."

Qu Yunchu smiled politely at him.

But seeing the dish he put on the table, his eyes were not so calm again.

"Ke Yan, go get my acupuncture bag."

She gave Lu Wenqian a warning look with threats in her eyes, and hurriedly told Ke Yan who came in.

Hearing the name of the acupuncture bag, the chopsticks that Lu Wenqian had just stretched out suddenly shook, paused for a moment, then retracted calmly, pretending to pick up a piece of black-bone chicken from the soup pot and put it in the bowl.

"Fourth, you have been exhausted all the way, and you can eat more sauced beef to replenish your body."

After giving some casual instructions, he lowered his head and continued to drink the soup in the bowl by himself.

Seeing this at the beginning, Qu Yun entered the inner courtyard with a kind face.

She was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyelids, but she had no intention of drinking soup. She just wanted to sleep for three days and three nights.

Lu Wenjing looked a little puzzled, sat down slowly, and said while holding chopsticks:

"Second brother, this is the freshly slaughtered beef I brought back from Shucheng for you. Don't you really want to try it?"

Lu Wenqian simply pushed the whole plate towards him, smiled and joked: "Eat it, go back early after eating, don't keep your siblings waiting."

After being away for a long time, Lu Wenjing really missed his wife who just got married.

But thinking that the second elder brother has to be wary of others even when eating, he feels very sad, and he has to cook for him himself no matter what.

He picked up a piece of beef and put it into his mouth. After chewing it carefully, he was about to take a sip of soup. After looking at Ji Zhen beside him, he suddenly asked: "How much money did the second sister-in-law lose today?"

"Looking at your words, you can't expect her to be well."

Lu Wenqian knew in his heart that the woman would not contradict him, so he pretended not to know and said: "At least I helped her build a body of ten thousand gold for the ancestor of Xuandu Temple. If the ancestor of Lan Hua is a conscientious person, he should also protect her." Your second sister-in-law."

As he said that, he also raised his eyes and glanced at Ji Zhen: "I see that Madam is in a very good mood. I think she has gained a lot, won a lot of money, right?"

Ji Zhen gritted her teeth and shook her head, at the same time she gestured with five fingers frightenedly.

Lu Wenjing saw something was wrong and guessed that the second sister-in-law had lost money, but looking at Ji Zhen's gesture, she waved her hand calmly.

"What a big deal, it's only 500 taels of silver. It's not worth mentioning to our Lu family."

"It's 5 million taels."

Jizhen replied bravely.

Upon hearing this number, Lu Wenqian spit out the sip of soup he had just taken into his mouth.

"5 million taels?"

Lu Wenjing exclaimed in shock.

Then he quickly lowered his voice: "Who is the second sister-in-law gambling with? Is there anyone in Tanzhou City who is not smart enough to cheat her out of this much money?"

Lu Wenqian felt guilty for a while, she was really capable, and he wouldn't really be ruined by her if he lost like this.

Ji Zhen also replied with some fear: "The new Weaving Department weaves Liu Quan."

Hearing the name of this person, the expressions of both of them darkened at the same time.
