Upon hearing this, Li Yang became even more confused and subconsciously asked.
"The eldest gentleman in the yamen has five concubines, and including the eldest wife, there are six wives and concubines. But what does this have to do with our matter?"
However, Qin He did not answer Li Yang's question and continued to ask.
"Then which concubine does the elder in the yamen like best?"
After hearing this, Li Yang pondered for a moment before speaking.
"What the eldest master likes most is the small room and the concubine's room."
After Li Yang finished answering, Qin He spoke directly this time.
"What about the eldest lady?"
Li Yang was puzzled and looked at Qin He.
Seeing that he couldn't answer, Qin He continued.
"Is the eldest lady favored now?"
Li Yang shook his head when he heard this.
"The eldest lady is no longer a young girl now, and it is well known that she is not favored by the eldest master."
Seeing this, Qin He smiled and nodded.
"Since you also know that the eldest lady is no longer favored, if the eldest lady loses so much silver, will her status be greatly affected?"
"When that time comes, I'm afraid his eldest wife's position will not be preserved. Do you think the eldest lady will take such a risk and inform the eldest man in the Yamen about this?"
Only at this moment did Li Yang wake up and look at Qin He with a hint of admiration.
It can be said that Qin He has a complete grasp of the eldest lady's psychology.
If this matter is told to the eldest gentleman in the yamen, his position as the eldest lady will definitely be affected before it is found out. At that time, it is not impossible for those junior criminals to usurp her position as the eldest lady in the yamen.
As a result, the eldest lady in the yamen did not dare to tell the matter, and she could only suffer the consequences.
After understanding this, Li Yang's admiration for Qin He deepened.
Without any worries, Li Yang didn't ask any more questions.
As for why Qin He is eyeing the eldest lady, that is not something he should ask now. If Brother Qin is willing to tell him, he will naturally say that since he has not said it now, it proves that it is not time yet.
Li Yang is a very self-aware person and will never ask questions he shouldn't ask.
Then he retreated directly.
Early the next morning, Qin He went to the gambling house from his home early.
When he arrived, Liu Qiang was already sitting inside.
But today is a little different.
Liu Qiang was talking to the eldest lady at this moment.
Qin He casually found a table and sat down, then listened to Liu Qiang's conversation with interest.
I just heard Liu Qiang talking there.
"Sister, I have lost so much money from you these past few days, and no one else has won, but not even a cent. I thought about it again and again, but I still feel dissatisfied. How about I bet with you alone today?"
After hearing this, the eldest lady couldn't help but laugh out loud and looked at Liu Qiang who was standing aside and said "clucking".
"Brother, how much silver did you bring today?"
Upon hearing what the eldest lady said, Liu Qiang took out twenty taels of silver from his pocket, placed it directly on the table, and said to the eldest lady.
"Sister, this is all my belongings today! I wonder if you dare to bet with me alone?"
The eldest lady in the Yamen didn't listen to what Liu Qiang said now. She looked straight at the twenty taels of silver placed on the table and smiled even more from ear to ear.
"Okay! If there's any problem, brother, let's go to a private room alone and have a lively bet."
In the opinion of the eldest lady, this boy has bad luck. If he bet against him, it would be equivalent to giving him money. The presence of other people would actually delay his time to win money.
Since the little brother in front of her has already proposed a separate bet, how can she refuse?
After thinking about it, he called his maid, asked someone to open a separate private room, and led Liu Qiang in.
Qin He looked at the two people who entered, with a smile on his face.
Apparently the fish has taken the bait.
The next thing can only be left to Liu Qiang to solve by himself.
In just half a day, Qin He saw the maid who had accompanied the eldest lady inside come out twice, and each time she ran in a hurry. He could tell at a glance that she wanted the maid to go back to get some silver.
Just like this, in the afternoon, Qin He saw the eldest lady walking out of the private room with a panic look on her face.
At the same time, he seemed to be asking the maid next to him what?
At this time, Liu Qiang also walked out of the box.
The moment he saw Qin He, he blinked and returned to the private room.
Seeing this, Qin He also understood, and there was a smile on his face.
Qin He pretended to pass by the door of the box unintentionally, and then heard the eldest lady speak anxiously to the maid next to her.
"What did you say? I've already taken all my silver?"
The eldest lady obviously didn't believe it, her face was full of anxiety, and there were faint beads of sweat sliding down her forehead.
When the maid heard this, she had a very embarrassed expression on her face. She looked at the eldest lady and spoke timidly.
"Madam, not only have we collected all the silver at home... we even owe that boy twenty taels of silver now."
After hearing this, the expression on the eldest lady's face became even more ugly. She wanted to say something, but in the end she couldn't.
After a while, the eldest lady seemed to have thought of something again and spoke hurriedly.
"Go! Go quickly! Borrow me some silver from the shopkeeper of this gambling house. I must win it back today! I will win back everything that boy has won from me!"
When the eldest lady said this, her eyes had lost all reason and were replaced by the mentality of a gambler.
I want to make a comeback and completely win back what I lost.
However, the girl on the side had a sad face and spoke to the eldest lady.
"Madam, we can't borrow money in this gambling house."
Upon hearing this, the eldest lady's brows knitted together, and she shouted angrily.
"What's the matter? How dare he not lend me money for a small gambling house? Isn't he afraid that I will destroy his gambling house?"
Upon hearing this, the maid's expression became even more grim, and she spoke to the eldest lady.
"Madam, have you forgotten? The one who told the gambling house not to lend us money is the eldest man. How dare they not listen to the eldest man's words?"
After hearing this, the eldest lady's face completely fell, and she was unable to do anything for a while.
What was once just fine beads of sweat has become almost like broad beans.
The eldest lady looked anxiously back and forth among the crowd.
The next moment, he saw Qin He beside him.
The eldest lady's eyes moved, as if she thought of something, she stopped Qin He immediately, and said with a smile.
"Brother, do you know who I am?"
Seeing that the eldest lady actually came to him, Qin He felt even more secretive in his heart, and immediately replied respectfully.
"How could I not know the eldest lady?"
Seeing that Qin He in front of her recognized her, the eldest lady couldn't help but feel secretly happy. At the same time, she couldn't help but raise her posture a lot, and spoke to Qin He.
"Since I know me, it's easy to handle! I wonder if I have any silver with me?"
