Chapter 162

"Sister, be good. Sleep well."

Dong Shuangshuang hugged her daughter, her face was calm and even a little numb.

Husband Lu Rong came in, looked at his wife and daughter with a guilty conscience, and soon got a little impatient: "I'm thirsty. Pour me a glass of water."

Dong Shuangshuang continued to coax the child in her arms.

The daughter hugged her neck, not daring to let go, nor did she dare to look at her father.

Lu Rong just pretended not to see, and scolded his wife: "Are you deaf?"

The maid came in and brought tea.

Dong Shuangshuang called the servant girl to stop, and said softly, "Take my sister out."

"Yes."

The maid took the baby and left. Dong Shuangshuang poured a glass of water for her husband, and then found the thing at the bottom of the box, a pure gold collar.

"What did you take? Show me!"

Lu Rong took a sip of water and looked at Jin Zi's eyes.

Dong Shuangshuang hid the collar behind her back, shook her head and said, "This is the dowry that my mother left me before she was alive! My sister... my sister has been betrothed by you casually now, and it will be her birthday soon. This is what I gave her. Don’t even think about saving the dowry!”

Lu Rong grinned: "Look at how you talk. It's my daughter's stuff. I just take a look first."

He walked over, grabbed it with his hands, and said, "I just want to see what it is. Your mother left it for you, can I still want it?"

Dong Shuangshuang refused to let go, but her husband had already torn off her fingers one by one.

Lu Rong held the gold collar and smiled happily: "This collar is so rich in gold!"

Not only is it heavy in gold, but there is also a piece of Hetian jade inlaid in the middle, engraved with Dong Shuangshuang's zodiac, and the carving is very exquisite.

Dong Shuangshuang said: "...I was just born and my mother gave it to me. Including this piece of jade, it cost more than 2000 taels."

Lu Rong tutted his tongue and said, "Now it's more than this price."

He has pawned a lot of things, and he has gained experience in pawning them all. It is not a problem to take them to the pawn shop and pawn 4000 taels.

"Why didn't I see you wearing it before?"

Lu Rong smiled.

Dong Shuangshuang reached out to grab it: "It's too precious, I don't want to wear it normally. Give it back to me!"

Lu Rong dodged, hid the gold collar and said, "Good Shuang'er, I have something to discuss with you. My daughter is still young, so you can just save the dowry for her in the future. Lend it to me first."

"You, you... what do you want to do!"

Dong Shuangshuang was trembling with anger, she neither quarreled nor cursed, she was a very gentle person, when she got angry, she would just grab her husband's arm and cry, "My mother left this for me!"

Lu Rong changed his face.

"Bitch! You won't listen to what I'm telling you, right?"

He slapped his hand casually, feeling nothing in his heart.

This is his woman, he can beat him whenever he wants, and he can take what belongs to his woman whenever he wants, no one can say anything.

Dong Shuangshuang refused to let go this time.

The husband and wife quarreled for a while, and Dong Shuangshuang knew that she couldn't get the things back, so she said, "...I'll give it to you. I'll give it to you. But you're not allowed to gamble with it anymore!"

His arm was bleeding from this crazy woman!

Lu Rong had no choice but to say: "Okay, okay. I won't gamble."

Dong Shuangshuang discussed with him: "Lao San Li came to collect debts again. The old lady has already told him to sue the officials. If you don't want to cause embarrassment in the yamen, you can pawn this money and pay off the debt first!" "

If the collar is used in this way, it can be regarded as being used on his own head.

Lu Rong said, "I'm going to pawn now."

Dong Shuangshuang stared at him: "I don't believe you! I'll go find someone to pawn... I also pawn more money than you, so come back this afternoon to get it."

"Otherwise, if you leave this door today... I, you and I will die together!"

She picked up a pair of scissors.

Lu Rong was frightened, clutching the gold collar and said, "You, what are you crazy about!"

He knew his wife very well. She said she would give it to him, and the money would definitely be given to him. After thinking about it, he took a step back and said, "I will give it to you! I will come back before the sun goes down. If I don't see the money, I can't spare you."

Dong Shuangshuang took back the gold collar, and she was already out of strength.

She sat on the bed, took a bite of the gold collar, and there was a black mark.

"It's not gold at all..."

is fake.

But it's okay, as long as Lu Rong believes in it.

Dong Shuangshuang put away the collar, sent someone out to pretend to be a pawn, and came back with a bag of silver, and asked the servant girl to ask the servant next to Lu Rong: "Where did the uncle go?"

The wife is soft-tempered, knowing that the servants can't control the uncle, and never punishes them.

The boy said truthfully: "...in the casino."

Dong Shuangshuang ordered softly: "Send this to the uncle, tell him that it is used to pay off the debt, and tell him not to gamble anymore."

The boy hugged the silver, lowered his head and said, "Yes."

I thought about this money in my heart-the meat bun beats the dog, and there is no return.

Lu Rong gambled so darkly in the gambling house that when the boy came to him, he just lost a game and was very angry.

"A dog who has no eyesight, can't see that I am betting?"

The little servant said with a bitter face: "...Look at this."

Open a bag of silver, revealing a corner, shining silver.

Lu Rong's eyes lit up, and he asked with a smile, "Where did you come from?"

The boy said: "Madam asked me to give it to you." He also felt sorry for his wife and uncle, so he said: "Master, my wife told you to pay off your gambling debts, so don't gamble anymore."

"It's your turn to teach me! You son of a bitch."

Lu Rong kicked the servant's ass, turned around and entered the gambling house with the silver in his arms, with the wine shop in front and the hidden gambling house behind.

"Play a few more hands of Pai Gow today, hehe."

Lu Rong happily returned to the gaming table.With a lot of money in hand, I suddenly don't know which table to squeeze to.

He frowned and looked at a few tables, and muttered: "No, the location is not good. It will affect my gambling luck."

After thinking about it for a long time, I suddenly remembered my wife's order... Should I pay off part of my gambling debt first?

Lu Rong called the boy and said, "You take the 500 taels and return it to Li Laosan. The rest tell him that if I win the bet today, I will return it to him immediately."

"……Yes."

The boy went with the silver.

In less than half an hour, something happened in the casino.

"The door is closed today, everyone go out!"

"Go to the front and drink, the dealer invites everyone to drink."

There was a lot of commotion, and those who were jealous of gambling refused to leave at all.

People outside didn't know what happened inside. They only heard a noise and a scream from a man: "Ah——you dare to hit me! Do you know who I am! I didn't use fake money. ! How could Lao Tzu’s money be fake! Ah!”

"Mom, I'm done. Let's go back."

In the teahouse opposite the gambling house, Lin Yunwan was about to put on her veiled hat, and was talking to the mother in charge of the big house of the Lin Mansion.

The mother in charge heard the movement downstairs, she glanced outside, frowned and said: "Girl, something happened downstairs. You can't go down now, if you are bumped into, you will be in trouble."

"What happened?"

Lin Yunwan also took a look outside, this street is full of people, but now there are more than three times more pedestrians than when I came here just now.

The steward's mother said: "I don't know either. Miss, stay well, let's go down and have a look."

He went down with two servant girls.

Lin Yunwan looked at the mess downstairs and smiled faintly.

Can Lu Rong escape this time?

Just as she looked away, a man was looking at her on the second floor of the opposite restaurant, and they looked at each other across the street.

... Who is it not Qi Lingheng!

"My lord?"

Lin Yunwan was very surprised and called out silently.

Qi Lingheng nodded slightly in response, and then whispered to Ah Fu beside him: "The government soldiers are coming soon, you go."

Make it the icing on the cake for her.
