On the other side, An Huaiyu came outside An Zhining's yard.
The maid informed her early, and An Zhining ran out wearing a cloak. Her lazy hair fell to one side of her face. She threw herself into An Huaiyu's arms and said, "Brother!"
This soft body and the sweet smell of An Zhining made An Huaiyu freeze, and the temperature quickly rose on his face!
"Zhining, wear this and don't go out much. Be careful of catching a cold."
An Zhining raised her little face as white as snow and smiled innocently at An Huaiyu, "Brother said he wanted to come see me, so I won't be cold anymore."
The two brothers and sisters were affectionate for a while, and then An Huaiyu mentioned the conversation he heard between An Ruowan and Song Zhiming at the side door.
A flash of shock flashed in An Zhining's eyes. She quickly lowered her head to cover it up, and said in a deliberately surprised tone, "My sister is the direct daughter of the prime minister's house. How could she secretly give him money? Brother, did you hear it wrong?"
"Won't!"
An Huaiyu frowned and said, "Even if I heard wrong, I saw that she gave the man two hundred taels of silver."
"After she left, I asked the boy at the side door. He had been here five or six times, and each time the money was worth several hundred taels."
"And I heard her say that if she were Princess Rong's concubine, she would not be able to afford a few thousand taels of silver. It can be seen that Prince Rong gives her a lot of money on weekdays!"
This little bitch! No wonder she wants to cling to Prince Rong!
An Zhining gritted her teeth secretly, but pretended to be disappointed, "Brother, you must tell Princess Zhen about this. If you continue to indulge like this, my sister will do something wrong sooner or later."
"Yes!" An Huaiyu nodded, "I think so too. Tomorrow I will accompany you to the palace to see Princess Zhen and explain the matter clearly!"
Song Zhiming, who got two hundred taels of silver at the other end, sneaked into the casino again.
He converted all the silver in his hand into chips, and squeezed into the crowd again, starting with dozens of taels of silver, "Buy all the damn money for me to kill with leopards!"
During this period of time, Song Zhiming lost money in the gambling house, and what he owed to Duzhuang, plus what An Ruowan gave him, was almost tens of thousands of taels of money.
An old acquaintance at the gambling table started to cheer, "Song Zhiming, are you rich again? Don't lose everything in a short while and beg grandpa and grandma to borrow money everywhere."
"hahahahahahahaha!"
The people around who came to gamble also knew what kind of person Song Zhiming was, and they laughed together.
Song Zhiming spat fiercely, pinched his waist and showed off his power and said: "My daughter will be the princess of Rong in the future! Not to mention thousands of taels of silver, tens of thousands of taels of silver will be given to her by then!"
"You bunch of bastards, just stop trying to fawn over me when the time comes!"
The noisy sound of the casino could not cover up Song Zhiming's loud and showy voice.
"Look, he is very proud of it. Now there is a rumor in the capital that the second lady of Xiangfu is going to take the position of Princess Rong, so he is actually showing off."
The gambling boss looked at An Ruowan meaningfully, "If it is true that the second lady of the prime minister's house has become Princess Rong, our game..."
An Ruowan leaned in front of the second-floor window, looking down at the flamboyant Song Zhiming downstairs, with a cold arc at the corner of her lips.
"You just need to do as I say, and I won't let you suffer."
The boss of the casino is a smart man. Since he has been tied to the same boat as An Ruowan, he knows in his heart that he cannot rashly take refuge in others. "Don't worry, everything is up to you."
An Ruowan's eyes were condensed, "If he uses his identity as a prince to borrow money from a casino with you, just lend it to him, and you can withdraw the hook after three days."
"yes."
Taking advantage of the long night, An Ruowan wore a bamboo hat and colorful rings and returned to the yard from the back door of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
As soon as she changed her clothes, An Ruowan heard a familiar voice near the window.
Tuk-tuk-tuk.
An Ruowan pushed the window open, and the black bird appeared in front of the window again, with a note still tied to its leg.
Untying the note, An Ruowan saw Gu Beichen's brief message:
Recently there are rumors in Beijing that you regret your marriage. Although I cannot marry you for the time being, I can help if necessary.
Looking at the note, An Ruowan curled her lips. Gu Beichen was very good at providing help in times of need.
She picked up a pen and wrote a note, tied it to the black bird's leg, and released it in the dark night.
In the palace of Prince Rong.
Gu Beichen was leaning on the sofa and reading a book, while Qingfeng was knocking on the door outside.
"Come in."
Qingfeng came in with Black Bird and handed the note from An Ruowan with both hands, "Your Majesty, a letter from the Prime Minister's Mansion."
Opening the note, Gu Beichen glanced at it with an inexplicable smile in his eyes, "She does know how to take advantage of my status."
"Qingfeng."
Gu Beichen raised his hand and put the note on the candle beside him to burn it up. He said calmly: "The Mid-Autumn Festival will be in three days. Please prepare the gifts for me. On the Mid-Autumn Festival, come with me to the Prime Minister's Mansion. "
"Yes, I understand!"
I don’t know if it was because of his status as Prince Rong that Song Zhiming was even more crazy about gambling than before!
In just one night, he lost thirty thousand taels of silver to the gambling house!
The bookmaker refused to give him any more money and told him that if he didn't get 50,000 taels of silver within three days, he would be killed!
Song Zhiming was beaten hard, and he ran to the side door of the Prime Minister's Mansion in embarrassment to ask for money.
An Ruowan directly asked Caihuan to go back this time. Even if he made a fuss, she wouldn't find a penny on her. If he wanted to make a fuss, he could just make the matter deadlocked.
Song Zhiming is not stupid. He knows that it will not be good for him if this matter gets bigger. It may also affect An Zhining's entry into Prince Rong's Mansion. However, the gambling house is pressing hard, saying that the money will not be paid tomorrow. Just find someone to break his legs!
After thinking again and again, Song Zhiming finally asked someone to find An Zhining.
"How much money does he want?!"
An Zhining was sitting in the room with a gloomy face. When she heard the maid came to report, she smashed several expensive antique vases!
The little maid hesitated, "He said that you are going to become Princess Rong's wife. He wants ten thousand taels of silver from you... It's not too much."
"What?!"
An Zhining's voice was high-pitched, and her face was a little twisted, "Where can I get him so much money? Send him away quickly!"
"Miss, now you are about to take the position of Princess Rong. If he really makes a fuss, it may be harmful to your reputation."
Song Zhiming is a desperate gambler, and An Zhining naturally knows it very well!
She clenched her fingers, and another maid came from the courtyard to report, "Miss, the carriage is ready, and the eldest young master is waiting for you outside."
An Zhining stood up suddenly, looking panicked, "Don't let big brother know about this!"
She turned around and took out her personal money, and gave a lot of expensive jewelry to the maid. She squeezed the maid's hand hard and said, "Give him three thousand taels of silver to stabilize him first! Don't let him make a fuss!"
The maid trembled when she was caught, and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, I understand! I understand!"
Caihuan, who had been waiting in the hidden area of the side door early in the morning, saw An Zhining's maid bringing things to the door, then turned around and left in a hurry.
"Miss, as you expected, the second lady has indeed sent money to that person!"
