CHAPTER 80: OLD LADY IS DONE PLAYING (PART 2)_1

The more the gambling den earned, the fuller their own purses became, as Master Hong Xiangjun was both generous and righteous. Following the principle of "making money together and sharing drinks," she never treated the people under her poorly.

Therefore, when Dong Huiying placed her bet, the dealer was certain that the small ginseng was as good as in the gambling den’s pocket.

Who would have known that Dong Huiying would actually win the bet?

She really did win!!

"Ay, my luck isn’t bad today. With these thirteen-to-one odds, I’ve earned one hundred and four taels of silver in just a few breaths. Not bad, not bad at all. It seems I can count on this to get rich in the future."

Dong Huiying rubbed her dark little paws, her face brimming with smiles. The dealer’s face had turned as black as the bottom of a pot, his expression changing endlessly, quite a sight to behold.

And Liang Zhichen was also taken aback.

In the past, Da Bao was addicted to gambling, but he used to lose nine out of ten times, with terribly poor gambling skills. But this time... was it just luck, or was it something else?

The more he interacted with this person, the more he felt that sense of discord growing stronger.

At the same time...

Zhou Dachun, carrying out Master Hong’s orders, had captured someone, but she was also a bit afraid, for the young girl was too fierce.

She pondered to herself, having seized someone else’s fiancé, the girl was sure to settle the score with her, leaving her feeling uneasy.

Just then, someone reported, "Sister Dachun, Dong Dabao is here!!"

"She’s here!?" Zhou Dachun’s eyes widened, her face paled, and she started to feel a chill around her neck as if enveloped once again by the shadow of death. She couldn’t help but recall the bizarre figure holding a knife to her throat that day...

But then she thought, what’s there to be afraid of? This is our turf, our home ground, and besides, we have Master supporting us from behind!

Feeling emboldened, Zhou Dachun cleared her throat and straightened her collar, trying to appear calm as she walked out of the room.

...

Dong Huiying had been running around the mountains all day and was also somewhat tired. When Zhou Dachun came out, she saw Dong Huiying sitting on a long bench, surrounded by people, creating a somewhat strange atmosphere.

Sensing Zhou Dachun’s gaze, Dong Huiying smiled and looked over at her.

"Oh, it’s Lady Zhou!"

Her beaming smile sent a shiver down Zhou Dachun’s spine.

Zhou Dachun immediately halted her steps, not daring to move forward, as if afraid that the seemingly harmless young girl in front of her would attack, mainly because she was frightened by the girl last time.

Dong Huiying smacked her lips: "Lady Zhou, are you afraid? That’s really strange, after all, I’m the one who owes your gambling den silver, isn’t it so? So, what are you afraid of?"

She got up from the bench with a giggle.

Zhou Dachun’s palms were clenched tightly, sweaty and slick: "Don’t come any closer!"

She acted as if a mouse had seen a cat.

Dong Huiying chuckled, thinking to herself how small this person’s courage was.

She playfully twirled a lock of hair around her finger, adopting an innocent demeanor.

"Lady Zhou, look at you getting all nervous again. Why the rush? I’m not here to collect debts, but to pay them back!"

Then, she began to count on her fingers: "Let’s settle the accounts first. I’ve accumulated a total of two tales of silver debt to your gambling den, correct?"

Zhou Dachun blinked, instinctively nodding her head.
