Chapter 44 What are these people trying to do!

"Ah, Miss, it's your gamble. It sounds like a bet of 200 million taels of silver. This servant suspects that I heard it wrong." Xia Zhi's eyes widened in surprise.

Gu Xi shook her head, indicating that she heard correctly.

She also heard so much money.

Gu Xi's mind was spinning rapidly, wondering what went wrong, how could there be so much extra money!

Because there were too many people, they moved slowly, and after a while, they came near the entrance of the gambling house.

As they approached, they saw all kinds of boxes piled up at the door, and some of the boxes were opened, revealing the glistening silver inside, which could blind people's eyes if they stared at them under the sun.

Xia Zhi exclaimed again, the eyes that looked at Gu Xi turned into star eyes, admiring and admiring.

Hey, you are indeed a young lady, even if you withdraw from the marriage, you can withdraw with such an effect like a catastrophe and a tsunami.

Gu Xi rested his forehead with one hand, silently watching the scene in front of him.

She knew that she was highly sought after, but that was before her background was exposed, and now her reputation has been ruined, so these people came to join in the fun and humiliate her?
But soon, Gu Xi overturned this guess, because she saw people from King An and the Sixth Prince, and people from Ruyang Palace, and these people would never come to humiliate her.

Gu Xi also saw a lot of people from the firm she cooperated with, especially the boxes in front of the integrity firm were the most exaggerated and scary.

Some of the opened boxes contained not only silver, but also a lot of jewelry and emeralds, antique calligraphy and paintings, etc.

Gu Xi was confused.

What are these people trying to do!

Too much money to show off.

"Miss, what should I do now? I'll go deposit some money too!" Xia Zhi asked enthusiastically.

Yesterday she was angrily wanting to yell at the people in the casino, but now, she is not angry, but proud!

This is their lady's card, and they really want to participate.

"Don't make trouble." Gu Xi gave her a lazy look, and said weakly,
"I'll go to the restaurant across the street and find a room to sit down. You can inquire about the situation, and then call Mr. Hao's family from Honest Firm to see me."

"Okay, miss, you go and rest, leave this to me, I'm sure I'll find out for you clearly." Xia Zhi said excitedly.

Gu Xi looked into her bright eyes, was speechless for a moment, then turned and left.

After a while, Xia Zhi excitedly brought Hao Dong's family to see Gu Xi.

When Hao Dong's family saw Gu Xi, they hurriedly saluted, their attitude was more respectful than before.

Gu Xi flashed a trace of doubt, but still smiled, and lazily said,

"Hao Dong's family don't have to be so polite, please take a seat."

"Miss Xie for your seat!" Hao Dong's family thanked him respectfully, and then sat down properly.

"For the 200 million taels, what they bet on is my successful divorce?" Gu Xi asked Xia Zhi.

"Yeah, yes! The maidservant has inquired clearly. At first, it was the Sixth Prince who bet on 5 taels, followed by Prince An, who bet 6 taels.

Then there is 10 taels from the Ruyang Palace, and it is said that 10 of them are pledged by Princess Rubao, and Mrs. Song’s [-] taels..."

When Gu Xi heard that the Sixth Prince and Prince An had bet so much, he thought helplessly that these two were too disobedient and caused trouble for him.

I let them bet 1 taels, up to 2 taels.

Then, when Xia Zhi said that people who had a good relationship with her made bets one after another, the warmth in her heart became stronger and stronger.

"Miss, our Boss Hao's family is really rich and powerful, other firms only bet 10 taels, but they bet almost 50 taels!

There is also Yaowanggu, I heard that the chief deacon in purple robe has appeared, and bet 50 taels to support the lady! "

Xia Zhi looked at Dong Hao's house, admiring and admiring, such a person who treats Miss well has already gained her approval and respect.

Gu Xi knew why Yaowanggu wanted to give him face, and he saved their little son himself.

But why is Mr. Hao's family?
Three years ago, when she first started the rouge and gouache business, she cooperated with people from the Honest Firm. In the past few years, her business has been going smoothly, and the Honest Firm has helped a lot.

Before, she always thought that the other party valued her status as the daughter of the Hou family, but now she is not the daughter of the Hou family.

How come Hao Dong's family is more polite to him, even respectful, as if he is his master.

strangeness.

Gu Xi looked at Dong Hao's house, surprised and grateful, but more of a scrutiny.

"The money is nothing. Missy is extremely intelligent and resourceful. I believe that following Missy will definitely make money. That's why we invested so much."

Seeing this from Gu Xi, Hao Dongjia almost stood up again. While suppressing this impulse, he couldn't help but smile a little stiffly.

"Thank you Hao Dong's family for taking it so seriously." Gu Xi didn't seem to notice his stiffness, his eyes rolled around, and he joked,

"If I didn't already know my life experience, I would suspect that I am the long-lost daughter of Dong Hao's family, who treats me so well."

"Ahem, hehe, miss, you can really joke! You are such a precious person, don't say that in the future, the little one can't bear it..."

Dong Hao's family was almost frightened to death, so he quickly stood up, bowed down respectfully and saluted, speaking with sincerity and trepidation.

"Hao Dong's family, tell me, I am no longer the concubine of the Hou family, why am I still so respectful?" Gu Xi asked directly lazily,
"In the past three years, you have taken care of me in every possible way, and for what purpose?"

"Naturally, the eldest lady is good enough to make..."

"I don't want to listen to lies. If you can tell the truth, you can tell it. If you can't, you can shake your head." Gu Xi glanced at him, and the light words made Dong Hao's words stop abruptly.

Dongjia Hao showed a wry smile and shook his head.

"Hao Dong's family will never harm me, so I won't ask any more questions." Gu Xi smiled lazily.

"Missy is smart! It's too late to take care of Missy, and I will never harm you." Dongjia Hao said hastily.

Xia Zhi looked at Miss and Hao Dong's back and forth in a daze, she was completely confused.

However, it is enough to make sure Mr. Hao's family will not harm Miss!

She couldn't figure out the rest, so she didn't think about it.

There are things she is more interested in and more concerned about.

"Miss, have you asked someone to invest money? How much?" Xia Zhi asked with a smile.

"1 taels." Gu Xi stretched out a finger.

"Oh, miss, why did you vote so little? At least 5 taels must be invested. It's not that the miss has no money."

Xia Zhi pouted regretfully, thinking that earning such a small amount would be a big loss.

Gu Xi gave her a white look, "Silly girl, it's such a big deal, I don't know if I can withdraw from this marriage, the 1 taels of silver may be in vain."

Nearly 200 million taels of silver, many distinguished bettors, and the big prince behind the casino and the villain Qiyue behind, these factors are enough to turn this matter into a confrontation of power .

It's impossible for her to divorce the engagement smoothly.
