After being forced to leave the marriage, I became the wife of a top scholar.

Chapter 17 You've yielded!
The glamorous woman looked at Bai Wanqing with a somewhat unnatural expression.

He... he doesn't have that kind of fetish.

Bai Wanqing's gaze was firm; she did not notice the glamorous woman's expression.

Yan the Bearded Man grinned and said with a grin, "Then it's best two out of three?"

Bai Wanqing shook her head. "Three rounds to decide the winner!"

Yan Da Hu Zi didn't pay any attention.

"You're a young lady, I'll let you have a turn, why don't you go first!" Yan Da Hu Zi said this, but he was a meticulous person and he never took gambling lightly.

He respects every game, so although his words seemed to be a gesture of deference towards Bai Wanqing, he actually wanted to understand Bai Wanqing's abilities.

"Okay!" Bai Wanqing replied readily.

She picked up the dice cup on the table and began to shake it. Her movements were smooth and gentle, and every gesture was elegant and graceful.

Everyone around forgot that they were comparing sizes and instead stared at Bai Wanqing's movements.

Bai Wanqing gently curled the corners of her lips, a smile that almost made everyone present gasp. They paid no attention to the dice cup, but Bai Wanqing focused all her attention on it.

Bang!
The dice cup landed steadily on the gambling table. Bai Wanqing didn't open it immediately, but instead extended her hand to Yan Dahuzi, gesturing for him to join her. "Master Yan, it's your turn."

Yan Da Hu Zi squinted. He had also been attracted by Bai Wan Qing's expression and actions. If Bai Wan Qing hadn't spoken to him, he wouldn't have come back to his senses.

Yan Da Hu Zi grinned wickedly and picked up the dice cup in front of him, shaking it violently. The sound of the dice colliding inside could be heard.

The moment he placed the dice cup on the ground, the murderous intent in his eyes shot directly at Bai Wanqing.

"Here it comes, here it comes, Master Yan's ultimate move."

Everyone around held their breath. Master Yan roared, "Come on! Who's going first!"

Bai Wanqing raised her hand and said, "Wait! We haven't decided how to determine the winner yet."

Yan Da Hu Zi reflexively said, "What else is there to say? Of course, whoever is bigger wins!"

"That's not the case. In this round, whoever is smaller wins!" Bai Wanqing said.

Upon hearing this, Yan the Bearded Man angrily retorted, "You're cheating!"

Why didn't you say so before we rolled the dice!

"Do you even know the rules of the casino?"

Bai Wanqing looked innocent: "Master Yan, you're putting me in a difficult position. I really don't know much about the rules of the casino, but you didn't raise any objections when we didn't agree on how to determine the winner."

"The answer is about to be revealed, but you suddenly disagree. Do you remember that you said I would set the rules for this bet?"

The people around him chimed in, "Big Beard Yan, you're a seasoned veteran in this casino, you can't bully a girl here."

Yan Dahuzi was losing face, but if he agreed to the girl's suggestion, he was destined to lose this round.

Yan Da Hu Zi had no choice but to grit his teeth. Anyway, it was best two out of three, so giving this girl a win wouldn't hurt.

"Alright! Let's compare sizes. Whoever's is smaller wins."

Bai Wanqing smiled and then gestured again, indicating that Yan Dahuzi should open the cup first.

Without hesitation, Yan Da Hu Zi opened the dice cup in front of him, shocking everyone present.

Six six six! Three sixes! Big!
If it were a contest of size, this girl in white would undoubtedly lose!
Bai Wanqing seemed to have known this in advance and did not show too much shock.

The glamorous woman watching from the side raised an eyebrow. He suddenly realized that this woman was not simple. It seemed that her proposal to have a bet with Yan Da Hu Zi was not a spur-of-the-moment decision, but a carefully considered one.

interesting!
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Bai Wanqing slowly lifted her dice cup.

Two, three, four! Small!
Now everyone was even more worried for Bai Wanqing.

But Yan Da Hu Zi laughed when he saw the result, thinking to himself: Little girl, this kind of childish trick can only be played once.

You won't be so lucky in the next round.

So this time, Yan Da Hu Zi was smarter. Before the game even started, he asked Bai Wan Qing, "Let's agree on this first, what constitutes a win?"

Yan Da Hu Zi was very confident, seemingly having absolute assurance, but Bai Wan Qing stared thoughtfully at Yan Da Hu Zi's hand without saying a word.

Yan Da Hu Zi felt inexplicably nervous. What was this girl looking at? Had she discovered something?
Absolutely impossible. He's been in the casinos for so long, and no one has ever figured out his methods. A naive young girl who hasn't seen much of the world would be even less likely to discover the secrets behind them.

However, Yan Da Hu Zi's guilty conscience was noticed by Bai Wan Qing and the alluring woman.

The glamorous woman frowned. This guy actually cheated?

He looked at Bai Wanqing, whose eyes were burning with intensity. Had the Bai family girl noticed too?

But without evidence, the people here might not believe it.

Bai Wanqing naturally understood this principle as well. She had noticed something was wrong when Yan Da Hu Zi was shaking the dice earlier; his thumb was always below the dice cup.

That's why she deliberately changed the default rules on the spot.

She originally thought this guy would adjust the dice rolls when the dice were opened, but he didn't. So, the way this guy controls the rolls is when the dice are shaken or when the dice cup just hits the ground.

"Hey, are you coming or not! You're such a wimp, always dawdling!" Yan the Bearded Man roared, partly to steady himself, and partly to change Bai Wanqing's pace. "Come on!"

"What are the rules?" Yan the Bearded asked.

“This time it’s still a contest of size,” Bai Wanqing said.

Yan Da Hu Zi was secretly overjoyed, but his opinion of Bai Wan Qing had changed. He hadn't expected this young lady to be able to see through his thoughts. Yes! She only saw through his thoughts; nothing else would be noticed.

Yan Da Hu Zi politely let Bai Wan Qing go first. Bai Wan Qing picked up the dice cup, but this time she barely shook it before placing it face down on the table.

Everyone around was shocked by this action. Even Yan Da Hu Zi stared wide-eyed. Had the eldest daughter of the Bai family given up struggling?

She doesn't even shake it, she just puts it face down on the table. Isn't that just telling everyone that the number on it is still two, three, or four?
Yan Da Hu Zi blew on his beard, laughed heartily, and then picked up the dice cup and shook it violently again. Bai Wan Qing listened carefully to the clanging sounds inside the dice cup, and she heard it!

The subtle sound of Yan Dahu adjusting the dice.

Thud! The dice cup landed on the table.

"Open the cup!" Yan Dahuzi picked up the dice cup on the table with a wicked grin.

One, one, one! Three ones, small!

Yan the Bearded Man immediately burst into laughter. He looked at Bai Wanqing, who was hesitant, and challenged her, "Miss Bai, come on! Let's start the game!"

Bai Wanqing was not in a hurry. "Master Yan, we just decided on the rule that whoever has the lower score wins, but we haven't decided on the rule that if the scores are the same, who should be chosen to win."

Yan Da Hu Zi immediately stopped smiling. "What do you mean by that? If the scores are the same, of course there is no winner or loser."

Bai Wanqing smiled wickedly, "I'm relieved to hear Master Yan say that."

Yan Da Hu Zi didn't take it to heart. He simply couldn't believe that this young lady could also roll three ones, the lowest possible number.

She didn't shake it much just now.

Bai Wanqing confidently opened the dice cup, and to everyone's surprise, there were three ones lying quietly on the table.

How is that possible?

This time, not only Yan Da Hu Zi was confused, but even the glamorous woman was somewhat bewildered.

This Bai family girl is no ordinary person; it turns out she's a dice expert.

"You cheated!" Yan Da Hu Zi had never encountered such a situation before; the only explanation was that Bai Wan Qing had cheated.

Cheating? Everyone looked at Bai Wanqing for a moment, none of them really understood what was going on.

If Yan Dahuzi said that Bai Wanqing cheated, they would all believe him, since the Bai family girl's actions were indeed somewhat unbelievable.

Bai Wanqing remained calm and composed, "You say I cheated, so where's the evidence?"

Evidence! Yan Da Hu stared fiercely at Bai Wanqing. He hadn't seen clearly how Bai Wanqing cheated, but he was certain in his heart that Bai Wanqing had cheated.

"Hmph! The evidence is naturally on you. Do you still dare to compete with me in this final round?" Yan the Bearded Man was now fully focused.

Bai Wanqing said slowly, "The innocent are innocent, but if you still can't find evidence of my cheating after this round, I will go to the government to sue you for defamation."

Yan Da Hu Zi hadn't expected the girl to be so domineering, but he wasn't easily intimidated and naturally wasn't afraid. Besides, he was an expert in gambling, and given another chance, he was sure he could see how the girl was cheating.

"No problem! Let's get started!"

This time, Yan Da Hu Zi didn't give in anymore. After confirming that it was a contest of smaller dice, he put all his effort into shaking the dice cup.

Bai Wanqing kept her eyes on the other party's movements without stopping until Yan Dahuzi was about to put the dice cup on the ground when she saw a momentary pause. So that's how it was.

After shaking his head, Yan Dahuzi raised an eyebrow, signaling Bai Wanqing to make her move.

Bai Wanqing openly picked up the dice cup again, this time shaking it for a little longer, but only a little bit.

Yan Dahuzi watched Bai Wanqing's movements the whole time, but he didn't see anything wrong until Bai Wanqing put the dice cup back on the table.

Did this girl not cheat this time?

If she didn't cheat this time, he's guaranteed to win.

Everyone waited curiously for the two to open the pot.

Yan Da Hu Zi was suspicious, but he never doubted his own gambling plan, and immediately opened the cup and got three ones again.

Those around him couldn't help but marvel at his skill; he truly was the King of Dice.

However, this time no one drew a conclusion yet, after all, Bai Wanqing's performance in the previous two instances had raised everyone's expectations for her.

Bai Wanqing smiled slightly and calmly picked up the dice cup.

Three ones, small! Another draw.

Yan Da Hu Zi could hardly believe his eyes; this girl was a bit strange!
Did she not cheat this time? Impossible! There's no way she could have rolled three ones.

Bai Wanqing said calmly, "Master Yan, you flatter me!"
