Chapter 926 Gambling House
He was not embarrassed at all and continued happily, "From now on, you are my good brother. When I get married, you will definitely be the guest of honor!"
Lin Yiwan pretended to be flattered and said slowly, "Thank you very much, Second Master Cui!"
With the capital, the gambling addict Cui Lingshao became even more reckless.
He urged the dealer to start and played several big hands in succession.
There were wins and losses in these games, but in the end I lost more.
In a short while, all his banknotes were gone.
He was so frustrated by his loss that he ordered Lin Yiwan, "Quick, give me some more banknotes. I have to make up for my losses. I can't let them get away with it!"
Lin Yiwan advised, "Second Young Master, it's almost time. It will be the same if you pay them back tomorrow. It's almost dark, aren't you going home?"
Cui Lingshao glared at her in dissatisfaction: "Do you still want to be a guest of honor in my Cui family? What does this little banknote mean to you? When I become the brother-in-law of Marquis Zhan Yi, will you worry that I can't take care of you?"
Lin Yiwan gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, but the amount of these banknotes is too large. I'm not giving them to you as a gift, I'm lending them to you. You have to pay them back!"
Cui Lingshao couldn't listen any more, as he was only thinking about making a comeback.
However, in the end, it was a tragic outcome with no money recovered.
Cui Lingshao was so angry that he overturned the table.
He cursed loudly, "You two are fed up with dog food! Are you guys colluding to cheat me out of my money? Why do I keep losing? You must be cheating! Return my money now, or I'll smash your gambling house!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a figure limping towards him.
He frowned and asked, "Who wants to destroy my Hu Da gambling house?"
When Cui Lingshao heard this voice, he immediately calmed down.
Everyone knows that Hu Da is a ruthless character. The identity of his boss is unknown, but his gambling house is not to be trifled with in the entire capital.
Even the government gives them some face, and there are never any disputes in the gambling house.
Cui Lingshao also understood this rule very well, so when facing Hu Da, there was a somewhat ingratiating smile on his face.
He quickly said, "Boss Hu, you've come just in time. I've already lost tens of thousands of taels of silver in your gambling house. You have to take charge of this for me!"
A flash of surprise crossed Hu Da's resolute face. He turned to look at the dealer and asked, "Why did Young Master Cui lose so much?"
The dealer replied, "He bet big, and more importantly, he has terrible luck. No matter what he bets, he always loses!"
Hu Da nodded: "I see, so this means that Young Master Cui is possessed by the spirit of misfortune?"
Just one sentence shocked everyone so much that they quickly moved away from Young Master Cui.
After all, everyone goes to the gambling house with the idea of winning money. Who wants to be associated with bad luck?
Young Master Cui's face turned pale and ugly, but because of Hu Da's status, he didn't dare to get angry.
He could only say cautiously, "Boss Hu, please don't say that. I'm just unlucky at best. Please don't call me the God of Unlucky Omen!"
Hu Da patted his shoulder and said, "I won't hold you responsible for the things you destroyed. I'm a very generous person. Go away and worship the God of Wealth. You can come back in a few days to make up for what you have lost!"
How could the Second Young Master Cui leave? He had just roughly calculated that, not counting his own money, the silver notes given to him by the young master would be worth more than ten thousand taels.
He is not willing!
We must get some back!
He quickly grabbed Hu Da's arm and said, "Boss Hu, I just lost about 10,000 taels of silver. You have to think of a way to pay me back. Otherwise, I won't be able to explain myself when I go back!"
Boss Hu looked at him in disbelief. "Second Young Master Cui, do you know where you are? This is a gambling house. If you lose, you lose. How can you go back? If everyone is like you, we should just close this gambling house and turn it into a charity!"
The Second Young Master Cui argued anxiously, "That's not what I meant. I didn't ask you to return someone else's money. I only asked you to return mine. I'll soon become the brother-in-law of the current Marquis Zhan Yi. Just think of those banknotes as a wedding gift for me!"
Hu Da subconsciously looked at Lin Yiwan, who was standing silently beside him. After a moment, he smiled and said, "Congratulations to Second Young Master Cui on finding such a good match. But so what? I don't know you well, so why should I give you a wedding gift?"
Cui Lingshao's expression suddenly changed. He whispered a threat, "Are you really not afraid that my brother-in-law, Marquis Zhan Yi, will come and cause trouble for you? You know, he holds an extremely prominent position in the court and the new emperor trusts him very much!"
Hu Da replied calmly, "Our gambling house is run in an honest manner and we never do anything illegal. Even if Zhan Yihou comes, we won't be afraid. Besides, the money you lost was lost by your own ability, so there's no way we can return it to you!"
"You!" Cui Lingshao was so angry that his teeth were bared and his eyes were gnashing.
Hu Da didn't bother to pay attention to him and just waved goodbye.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Cui Lingshao had no choice but to sternly say, "Just wait, my brother-in-law will come to settle the score with you. Just don't cry and kneel down to beg me!"
After saying that, he left in embarrassment.
After leaving the gambling house, he was still cursing.
He looked at Lin Yiwan and said, "Young Master, I will get the money back sooner or later. Don't worry!"
Lin Yiwan frowned and said, "Second Master Cui, how can I not be anxious? Didn't I warn you before to stop as soon as possible, but you insisted on continuing to make a comeback and even snatched away the capital I was planning to use to open a shop!"
Cui Lingshao looked at her in disbelief: "What nonsense are you talking about? You didn't give me the money on your own initiative, how could I have robbed you?"
Lin Yiwan said indifferently: "I only gave you three hundred taels. The rest was all stolen by you. My servant can testify to this!"
Zi'er and Lin Xiaoruan, who were standing behind her, stepped forward quickly, startling him so much that he subconsciously took a half step back.
In just a moment, he had a new idea.
The three people in front of me are so good-looking. If they were sold to Qingfeng Pavilion, they would definitely be worth a lot of money!
Many of the dignitaries in the capital like this handsome young man.
Thinking of this, he smiled maliciously.
He narrowed his eyes and said, "Alright, alright, that little bit of silver is nothing. You're new to the capital, right? How about I take you around to broaden your horizons?"
Lin Yiwan asked calmly, "Really? Where are you taking us to broaden our horizons?"
Cui Er Shao blinked mysteriously at her and said, "Don't ask. If I tell you, you will know it all. You will be kept in the dark, and that's when there will be a surprise!"
A hint of coldness flashed in Lin Yiwan's eyes. It seemed that he wanted to squeeze more benefits from her.
Then let him do it!
Having made up her mind, she softened her expression and said, "Okay, then please, Mr. Cui, lead the way quickly. I can't wait!"
