The Yu family is a scholarly family, and all the children in the family have to hire a teacher to teach them.

Yu's grandfather was a famous scholar in Youzhou. Influenced by him since childhood, Yu also had some of the nobleness of a scholar.

When she heard that she was going to marry a businessman, Yu was very unhappy. However, the Yu family and the Meng family were old friends, and the marriage had been decided long ago, so she could not regret it.

The years she spent at the Meng family were like a nightmare. It was not the place for her to stay, and Meng Dalang was not the ideal husband in her mind.

Fortunately, she met Xie Huaian later. Xie Huaian was a Jinshi who passed the imperial examinations twice. He was extremely talented, gentle and elegant. He was also the son of a marquis. This was the man she should marry.

She only respects scholars.

When I first heard that Lu Yuan was a first-rank commander-in-chief, I thought Lu Yuan was so powerful, but it turned out that he didn't even pass the imperial examination.

As for Meng Qianqian.

The Meng family didn't teach her to read and write, but taught her to fight and kill. She didn't care about anything like the tiger or not, she only knew that a woman's role was to take care of her husband and children at home. If a woman did a man's job, wouldn't that be against the will of heaven?

Bing'er is talented and proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. This is the dignity that a daughter of a wealthy family should have.

After Meng Qianqian entered the mansion, she found that Lu Yuan had not gone far and Banxia was not there. She must have gone to Tinglan Courtyard with Baoshu.

"Has it been dealt with?"

Lu Yuan asked.

Meng Qianqian nodded: "I'm sorry to trouble the Grand Commander."

The Anyuan Marquisate will not let this go and might even find him.

Lu Yuan said calmly, "Princess Wanping has also caused you trouble, so we're even now."

Meng Qianqian smiled and thought that it was fair.

Now, they really look like a couple in distress.

Lu Yuan and Meng Qianqian walked back to the main courtyard. Meng Qianqian waited for him to enter first, but he said, "I suddenly remembered that I have something to do. I won't be back tonight."

Meng Qianqian said "oh" and didn't ask him what it was. She bowed and saluted him: "Grand Commander, take care."

Lu Yuan glanced at Meng Qianqian and said, "From now on, you don't have to bow to me anymore."

Meng Qianqian was stunned: "Huh?"

Lu Yuan said expressionlessly: "What I mean is that it will be exposed."

Meng Qianqian understood: "Yes, Xiaojiu will remember it."

Lu Yuan did not return home all night and did not go to court the next day.

Nanny Li was a little worried that the new son-in-law might have a woman outside, otherwise why would he abandon his newlywed wife and stay out all night.

Meng Qianqian was not worried, because if Lu Yuan had a girl he liked, he would not have pretended to marry her to deal with Miao Jiang.

Zhang Feihu and his soldiers returned to the border, and Third Uncle and Seventh Uncle and their group returned to Youzhou. The wedding was finally settled, and it was time for her to do her own thing.

"I'm going out."

"Sister, I'm going too!"

"You stay home."

The place she was going to today was not suitable for bringing Tan'er.

She changed into a light blue outfit, put on a hat and a veil to cover her face.

She first wandered around the market town, but as expected, she still didn't see the killer.

She went straight to the gambling house.

The last time she saw the other person was here. The other person went upstairs, but when she was about to go up, she was stopped by the gambling house clerk.

Meng Qianqian called a waiter and asked, "What's the bet up there?"

The guy looked at her and said, "It's not something you can afford to bet on anyway!"

"Interesting." Meng Qianqian said calmly, looked around, and chose the gambling table with the most people.

The reason why there are so many people at this table is, firstly, that the rules are simple and you only bet on the size, and secondly, there is a very good gambler who has guessed correctly for ten games in a row.

Everyone went from initial doubts to blindly following suit.

"Buy it and leave it! Buy it and leave it!"

The dealer shouted.

"Sir, big or small?"

A sturdy man asked.

The young master said, "I'm betting big!"

The strong man hurriedly bet all his belongings on the table: "Big!"

Everyone followed suit and placed bets.

"Big! Big! Big! Big!"

Everyone was shouting excitedly, but that young man was the only one sitting on the stool calmly, looking confident in his decision.

Meng Qianqian gently put down two gold coins: "Small."

The banker looked at her in surprise, and everyone else gave her strange looks.

In the market town, you can see all kinds of people, and it is not uncommon to see women going in and out of gambling houses.

Everyone just thinks she is mentally ill. Didn’t the God of Gamblers say he would make a big bet?

No one reminded her that everyone was here to gamble, not to do good deeds.

The dealer took away the sieve: "Three points, small!"

Three dice, all one.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

"Didn't you say it was big?"

The young master spread his hands: "Just because I say yes, does it mean it must be? Please, this is a gambling table, not an examination room. Besides, did I ask you to follow me?"

The sturdy man grabbed the young man by the collar and shouted angrily, "I'll pay for everything I had!"

The young master smiled faintly: "You have won ten games with me, why don't you stop in time? You are greedy, who can you blame?"

"you--"

As soon as the sturdy man raised his fist, he was dragged away by a thug from the gambling house.

The young master said, "Go on, this time, I bet on the small number."

Meng Qianqian: "One thousand taels. Big."

Three sixes, big.

Meng Qianqian: "Five thousand taels, big."

Four hundred and sixty-six, big.

Meng Qianqian: "Ten thousand taels, big."

As soon as the banker saw the sieve, he broke out in a cold sweat.

He clearly moved the dice, and the result should have been small, so why were there three sixes again?

The young master smiled at Meng Qianqian and said, "I'll play with you this time."

Meng Qianqian took out a pair of cards from a money shop and placed them on the table. This was the betrothal gift Lu Yuan gave her, but she didn't know how much it was worth in silver.

But when the young master and the banker saw it, their faces changed.

The dealer hurriedly said, "Miss, your bet is not something we can accommodate. Please go upstairs."

Can we finally go up to the second floor?

Meng Qianqian collected the pair of cards.

The waiter who had been indifferent to her before respectfully invited her upstairs.

The downstairs was crowded with people of all kinds, with the scent of women's makeup and men's body odor and sweat, while upstairs was a completely different scene.

The fresh and elegant corridor exudes the lingering sandalwood scent. The doors of the wing rooms are tightly closed, and occasionally the sounds of shaking dice and playing mahjong can be heard.

There are eight rooms in total, and only two of them have guests.

How should I put it? If you only look at the lobby, you would think this is just a low-class gambling house, but when you go up to the second floor, you will find that the doors are made of high-quality yellow pear wood.

Even Wanhua Tower is no better than this.

The waiter led Meng Qianqian to the study at the end: "Fourth Master, guests are here."

"Please come in."

A young man's voice came from inside.

The waiter opened the door for Meng Qianqian: "Miss, please."

Meng Qianqian stepped inside.

The door behind me closed with a bang.

Meng Qianqian's expression did not change at all. She began to look around the room and the man in the wheelchair.

The room was dimly lit, the doors and windows were closed, and the strong smell of medicine mixed with sandalwood was not very pleasant.

The man called the Fourth Master smiled and said, "It was you who almost ruined my business?"

He is just like Lu Yuan, both of them are smiling but with a dagger hidden behind their smile, the only difference is that Lu Yuan's smile is alluring, while his smile is sinister.

"I'm looking for someone."

Meng Qianqian said.
