The seductive voice fell on the old man's ears.
What was even more tempting was the money placed in front of him.
"Master, I believe in your luck, you will definitely be able to make money back! I'll lend you this money."
The old man grabbed the money and threw it on the gambling table, "I want to buy more!"
After seeing him start borrowing money, a group of people in the gambling house looked at each other.
When a man wearing Jin Wuwei's imperial uniform saw this scene, he clicked his tongue and moved closer to take a closer look.
The next day, Du Tai went back to his aunt's place and happily told his family what happened last night.
"Do you know what happened in the south of the city last night?"
"what is the matter?"
"A gambler got so anxious that he lost his own son! Didn't you see that scene? He lost everything in the gambling house and owed hundreds of taels of gambling debt. He couldn't pay back his son. sold!"
"The people from the gambling house went to his house on the spot and found out a boy and his milk. His grandmother was there crying so hard that she couldn't let go of her grandson. There's no use in doing that! People from the gambling house, go up. Just a few big slaps on the face, making the old woman spin like a top."
"After they robbed the little son, the gambling dog continued to bet, and his mother got up from the ground to tear him apart. She called her own son a beast, and the two of them fought in the street. How did that look like a biological mother and son? Just like Like enemies of life and death!"
"Do you know what the most interesting thing is?"
"What?" A group of people from the Du family listened.
"The gambling dog still owes money to the gambling house!" Du Tai clicked his tongue, "Can the gambling house tell them to run away! Even if they can't pay back a son, the gambling house people will pick out his hand and hamstrings. He When the old woman heard this, she kowtowed to the gambling house and begged for mercy, saying that her family had two daughters, one was at home and the other was a slave in the Marquis's mansion, and both of them could be captured to pay off the debt, and she begged the gambling house for mercy."
"The people in the gambling shop all laughed when they heard this. All the servants of the Hou Mansion are from the Hou Mansion, and they can still pay your debts! The leader of the gambling shop thugs slapped the shameless old woman hard again With a few slaps, I picked out the old gambling dog’s hand and hamstrings on the spot.”
"When I left, the old woman was still holding her son who had broken his hand and hamstrings and crying loudly. She beat him and hit him. She was angry and resentful. She also shouted, God is unfair, give me my grandson back! Give him back! I!"
The room full of people listened to Du Tai talking about the tragedy in the world outside, their brows furrowed or twisted, their eyes either sympathetic or angry.
"That old lady is so pitiful."
"Why should she be pitiful? I think she deserves it for raising a son who is a good gambler!"
"That little grandson is pitiful. He ends up in the hands of a gambling house. If he's lucky, he can stay in the gambling house as a servant. If he's not lucky, who knows who to sell him to!"
"If you ask me, it's the two girls in his family who are pitiful. You didn't listen. One girl was sold into the Marquis Mansion and was sold by his family! It's really ridiculous! I don't know where they got the shame! "
"That's true. Her girl may have asked them to sell her several times! Bah! What a bunch of beasts, they really deserve it!"
At this time someone pushed the door open and came in.
"What are you talking about?" Du Ruo asked as he opened the door.
"Nothing, nothing!" Du Tai shut up immediately when he saw his sister coming.
"Then why did I hear that so and so was sold? What about the Hou Mansion? What happened to the Hou Mansion? Did the Hou Mansion send someone here?" Du Ruodao.
"You misunderstood. It was your second brother who saw a loser in a gambling house who was so anxious that he wanted to sell his son and daughter. That man had a girl working as a servant in the Hou Mansion." Aunt Du said.
After Du Ruo heard this, she turned to glare at her second brother, "You go gambling again!"
"I didn't bet! I really didn't bet!" Du Tai quickly defended, "I just went there to have a look. I really didn't have any money to bet!"
Du Ruo had doubts in his eyes.
Seeing this, Du Tai swore, "Sister, believe me, ever since the prince helped me pay off my gambling debt, I have really never gambled again! I lied and my whole family was killed!"
Du Ruo didn't say anything about the death of the whole family, but the first half of the sentence was, "The prince helped you pay off your gambling debt?"
"Why, you don't know yet? The prince paid me back a thousand taels of silver. Speaking of which, my brother-in-law is really nice. Aruo, you have married the right person."
When Du Ruo heard this, his heart instantly felt like a huge wave.
She had no idea about Cheng Yunshuo repaying Du Tai's gambling debt of one thousand taels.
Du Ruo was a strong person, and she didn't want to have a financial entanglement between her and Cheng Yunshuo. When her brother first owed debt, she had to pay it all by herself, but she didn't want Cheng Yunshuo to intervene and make him think that she was a money lover.
But she never thought that in private, her brother found Cheng Yunshuo and actually asked him to pay back a thousand taels!
"How could you do such a thing! How can I stand in the Hou Mansion and speak in front of him when you call me like this!" Du Ruo immediately raised his eyebrows angrily.
"Aruo, don't be angry. We are all a family. What are we talking about with the money?"
"You're going to make me mad!" Du Ruo raised his hand and hit him.
Du Tai hurriedly advised, "You have to think about it from another perspective. Isn't it because the Crown Prince dotes on you! If it wasn't because he dotes on you enough, how could he pay back so much one thousand taels for me!"
This sentence immediately made Du Ruo pause.
During the time she was living at her parents' home, the only thing she kept thinking about was whether Cheng Yunshuo loved her or not.
Do you have her in your heart?
After the last snuff bottle incident, her heart suddenly felt like death. She felt that she was not even as good as a snuff bottle in Cheng Yunshuo's heart, and he didn't care about her at all.
But now...
If Cheng Yunshuo really didn't love her and didn't care about her, how could he repay her a thousand taels of silver!
That’s one thousand taels!
Du Ruo's dry and painful heart became alive as if it had finally encountered the sunshine and rain, and an unspeakable throbbing and expectation bloomed again.
Cheng Yunshuo, he, he must have her in his heart.
It seemed like she didn't do well last time and asked him to treat her like that!
Du Ruo, who was desperately short of love and longed for love, his eyes immediately lit up.
"Sister, where are you going?" Du Tai asked quickly when he saw Du Ruo running out.
"I'm going back to the Hou Mansion!"
At this time, the Hou Mansion.
After Lu Lingjun heard Captain Qian's reply, he said, "Captain Qian, it's not my job to go to Shuanghong tonight. You can invite her to have tea."
"Thank you, Madam, for your grace!"
Captain Qian received the grace and was overjoyed.
"Don't mess around. You have to wait until you come back next time and your parents will mention it to me personally."
"Young man, I understand!" Captain Qian assured him, and after saying that, he left Lu Lingyun's place and happily went to find Shuanghong.
Lu Lingjun looked at his back and smiled lightly.
On the other side, Dongsheng had already found Danhong's adoptive father and arrived in the capital within two days.
Speaking of Danhong, her grandmother dragged her son back who had his hand and hamstring broken. Now she only pointed at Danhong.
She cried loudly, asking for help from Dan Hong who was recovering from her injuries, begging her not to abandon them, crying with snot and tears in a pitiful way.
Danhong looked at the two people and sneered again and again. Not long after, her adoptive father came over. This time, Danhong naturally followed her adoptive father. She cried bitterly and said how stupid she was before and begged her adoptive father to forgive her. she.
Her kind adoptive father took her home without saying a word, and the only ones left in the stable were the extremely old woman and the old man who had broken his hand and hamstrings.
The two of them had nothing to rely on, and they even lost their lifeblood and grandson. The old woman was crying all day long, cursing at her disabled son, but she still couldn't let go of this son, dragging him to beg for a living. , the two tortured each other and cursed each other, but after that, there was no news at all.
I don't know if he is dead or not.
Of course, these are all things for later.
After Lu Lingjun took care of Shuanghong's weird family, Du Ruo actually ran back by himself.
