Chapter 53
Gu Xi voluntarily retired the engagement, and the news that the divorce was successful swept through the capital like a gust of wind.
Outside the Sifang Casino, countless people cheered and jumped.
"Hahaha, I won the bet, I won the bet!"
"Oh! I just bet ten taels of silver. If I had known about it, I would have borrowed it from someone else. I have to bet at least 100 taels!"
"Thank you Miss Gu, praise her!"
These are common people who followed along and came to bet.
However, although there are many people who are happy, there are also people who are worried.
"The casino has to pay so much money, will they really pay it? Can they afford it?"
"He dare not pay! King Ruyang, King An, Qibao Pavilion, Medicine King Valley, if they don't give out money, they will not be able to escape from the ends of the earth!"
"The owner of this gambling house is a great imperial merchant. If he sells all his property, he will definitely get 200 million taels of silver!"
……
If the outside of the casino is a sea of cheers, then the inside of the casino is a graveyard of despair.
In fact, for the employees of the casino, such as Chen Sheng, at most they were sold to others as slaves, but for Xu Junfa, it was really bankrupt!
"It's over, it's over, it's over... woo woo woo..." This middle-aged man in his 40s cried worse than a child.
After hearing the news, Xu Junfa was dumbfounded. He was stunned for a long time and couldn't react. Then he immediately rushed to the First Prince's Mansion, wanting to see the First Prince.
However, he never saw the eldest prince's face. He was chased away by the guards and told him that the eldest prince would not pay him a penny for the matter of making him prepare to lose money.
Xu Junfa tried to find a way to meet his daughter, who was the eldest prince's favorite concubine.
However, he also failed to see his daughter, but got a message that made him shudder.
If he doesn't pay according to the regulations, the First Prince will kill their entire clan!
Xu Junfa left as if in a daze, and went to find his real master, Qi Yue.
Although Qi Yue met him, but until now, he has no other choice but to lose money.
"Sell all the things you can sell, collect enough money, and lose money first." Qi Yue said to Xu Junfa with a sullen face,
"I have seen your achievements over the years. Afterwards, I will arrange for you and your family to settle in Beiyan, give you an identity, and let you start over."
"Thank you, master." Xu Junfa said with a sad face.
He is his last resort.
At this time, a carrier pigeon flew over, and Qi Yue waved his hand to let Xu Junfa leave. He took the message from the carrier pigeon and looked at it with a serious face.
This is the news from his subordinates that Gu Xi went to meet the eldest prince, and the two should join forces.
But what the two of them said in detail cannot be found out.
After Qi Yue saw the news, he was startled and angry, and then smiled wickedly.
What a Gu Xi!
He thought he had overestimated her, but he still underestimated her.
Apart from the matter of King Ning, this gambling in the gambling house was the biggest failure he had ever encountered in his life! !
However, it doesn't matter, he will get it back from Gu Xi for this loss!
-
The Fourth Prince's Mansion.
"Your Highness, congratulations. The First Prince lost and has to pay a huge amount of money. Sifang Casino no longer exists!"
Mr. Xin smiled and flattered him, but he was secretly glad in his heart that it was a good thing that the eldest prince lost, and they hadn't thought of a way yet.
The fourth prince was also very happy, "This Gu Xi is indeed a lucky one."
"Your Highness still has the discerning eye." Mr. Xin immediately sent a rainbow fart, and hurriedly said,
"Now that Gu Xi has retired, should we send a message to Hou Zhongyi and let him know how His Highness wants to accept Gu Xi?"
"Don't be in a hurry. It's His Highness's person, so I can't run away."
The fourth prince shook his head with a smile, dropped the white pieces on the chessboard, immediately formed a killer move, and surrounded the black pieces.
"Your Highness is holy." Mr. Xin said with a smile.

Cloud Mountain Villa.
Deacon Xiao came here after betting the 50 taels and finishing other tasks at hand.
"Mr. Zhang, how is the young master's health?" Deacon Xiao asked the old man respectfully.
"Young master has woken up, and his body's qi has recovered very quickly, and he can get out of bed and walk around within two days." Zhang Lao said.
"Since the young master is fine, why does Mr. Zhang look so serious?" Deacon Xiao asked.
"There is one thing that I can't figure out. What kind of pills that Miss Gu gave the young master can bring the dead back to life." Old Zhang shook his head,
"Before this old man dared to say that all the magic medicines in the world come from my Medicine King Valley, but after this incident, the old man can only say that there is a sky beyond the sky, and there are people beyond the human.
"Why don't you ask Ms. Gu?" Deacon Xiao said.
Mr. Zhang shook his head, "She is my benefactor of Medicine King Valley, how can I ask about her magic medicine for no reason."
"I heard that after Miss Gu saved the young master, I also heard that she is going to retire today, so..." Deacon Xiao told Mr. Zhang about the bet of 50 taels.
"The money is probably lost, but if people know that Miss Gu is standing behind me, Yaowanggu, she should not be bullied at will."
When Deacon Xiao said this, he also came up with the answer after analyzing the situation, and felt that instead of fighting against the eldest prince, it is not a bad thing to have a marriage.
Mr. Zhang nodded, not caring about losing 50 taels of silver.
However, after a while, Deacon Xiao's subordinates came to report that Ms. Gu's divorce was successful, and the gambling house wanted to pay money.
Deacon Xiao was stunned unexpectedly.
Is this Miss Gu so rigid?
He actually got rid of that crazy dog-like eldest prince!
It seemed that he had a higher opinion of this benefactor.
-
At the small gathering of Princess Rubao's girlfriends.
"Hahaha... I believe that Gu Xi is indeed right, this time the princess has earned 2 taels! I got rich, I got rich."
Princess Rubao said happily.
"Oh, it's a pity, I only invested 1000 taels of silver. If I knew it, I would borrow some from my mother."
"Hey, I voted for 5000 taels, and I'm very satisfied. I'll thank Gu Xi later."
"I also want to treat her to dinner. My mother snatched all the rouge and gouache I brought back. I still need to buy some from her."
The little sisters of Princess Rubao gathered together, chatting about the benefits this time with smiles on their faces, and their words were full of appreciation and gratitude to Gu Xi.
On their side, Princess Yaoguang, who was very happy and had been paying attention to the divorce, tore five or six handkerchiefs and several sets of teacups.
"Ah! This Gu Xi is so hateful! Why is she! Why is she! Isn't she just a peasant girl!"
"Princess, do you still care about the Rouge Pavilion?" the personal maid asked cautiously.
"Whatever it is, it's a piece of trash, such a simple framing can't be done well, and I even put myself in it!"
Princess Yaoguang's handsome face twisted for a while, and she said to the maid,
"Go and warn the treasurer of the Rouge Pavilion, if the princess is confessed, their whole family will be killed."
"Yes!" The palace maid trembled in her heart.
