The news that Emperor Jingren would take part in this competition spread quickly throughout the capital.

Originally, the bet between Prince Zhan's Mansion, Meng Ran and Jiang Yuanbin was only known to the two of them.

Now that Emperor Jingren had gotten involved, the matter became known to everyone.

As soon as Lu Jinghuai learned the news, he opened a restaurant in Zhenxiulou!

Let people place bets and guess who will be the winner!

Everyone already knew the gap between the two sides, and immediately bet on Jiang Yuanbin's side.

"After all, I am a student of the Imperial College. If I cannot learn as well as a country bumpkin who came from nowhere, then I think the plaque of the Imperial College can be removed directly."

"Isn't it? Over the years, countless top scholars and second place winners have come out of the Imperial College! And that Mr. Jiang is the son of Prime Minister Jiang, so he is the best among them!"

"Tsk, how can you compare the little devil Huo from the Zhan Palace and Qian Duoduo from the Shangshu family who paid money but got nothing? Oh, I heard that he has a three-year-old baby, and he's still breastfeeding, right?"

This incident became the topic of conversation for almost everyone after dinner, and everyone was unanimous in not looking favorably upon Huo Junyu and his group.

Inside the Zhenxiu Restaurant, a waiter saw that almost everyone was suppressing Jiang Yuanbin, with only a few trying their luck and suppressing Huo Junyu and the others a little. He couldn't help but said to Lu Jinghuai with a headache:

"Manager Lu? Why are we running this casino? Isn't this obvious? If we lose money, I'm afraid we will lose everything we have earned these days!"

Lu Jinghuai was calculating with an abacus. He listened to the complaints of the waiter beside him. He did not stop using the abacus and said with a smile:

"What are you afraid of? Fortune and wealth are achieved through risk."

"But, isn't this too risky? Even if we want to cheer up our Second Young Master, isn't the price too high?"

The young man had a sad face. Although the silver was not his, he still felt distressed.

Lu Jinghuai looked at the young man with amusement, then stopped using the abacus and said:

"I'm not trying to cheer up the Second Young Master."

"ah?"'

"I just believe in Princess Zhan."

"what?"

Seeing the confused look on the waiter's face, Lu Huaizhu just smiled without explaining.

The moment he knew about this, he immediately opened the market.

Not for any other reason, but because he knew that Shen Qinglan never fought a battle without confidence!

Since Shen Qinglan dared to gamble, it must be because she has something to rely on!

Although it is not convenient for me to ask, the meaning of his existence is to make money for Shen Qinglan!

Becoming her money bag, this is his promise to Shen Qinglan!

And this time, it is a good opportunity.

Seeing that the boy still looked puzzled, Lu Jinghuai reached out and knocked on his head, saying with a smile:

"Don't blame me for not helping you. Your mother has been seriously ill for many years, and most of your monthly salary goes to your mother, right? And your sister is getting married, and your elder brother is getting married, so they need money everywhere."

"If you want a way out, take out all your money and bet on the Second Young Master to win."

After Lu Jinghuai said this, he didn't explain any more and just left with the account book in his hand.

The young man was stunned for a long time. He knew that their shopkeeper was a smart man. Any business that the shopkeeper took an interest in would make money!

Although he didn't have that much foresight, could he not learn to be obedient? Could the shopkeeper still harm him?

The young man immediately gritted his teeth, said to himself "Let's give it a try!", took out all his savings, and ran to bet on the second young master to win.

The bet between the two parties caused a sensation throughout the capital, and Shen Qinglan had naturally heard about it, but he didn't care.

After all, this was something she did on purpose.

Shen Qinglan and Huo Zhanting had already discussed that the sudden arrival of Meng Ran and Jiang Yuanbin that day might not be a coincidence.

The purpose is to test the attitude of Prince Zhan's Mansion!

If the Zhan Palace gave in, there would be a group of people who would hear the news and take action to attack the Zhan Palace!

Therefore, if they give in this time, it will not be a good thing!

Furthermore, after returning, Shen Qinglan had carefully asked about it, and found out that the main reason why Huo Junyu and Qian Duoduo did not like to study at the Imperial College was because of Meng Ran and Jiang Yuanbin!

In order to please Jiang Yuanbin, Meng Ran always makes things difficult for Huo Junyu and Qian Duoduo, which causes the two children to become bored with school.

Huo Junyan is well-educated and is not under Meng Ran's name, so this provides peace of mind.

Shen Qinglan has always been a person who holds grudges. Since Meng Ran dared to bully her, she can't let him go easily!

Since they dared to make trouble in front of him, Shen Qinglan would naturally make things even bigger!

Shen Qinglan wants Huo Junyu and Qian Duoduo to take back the dignity they lost from them!

It was also because of this that they cooperated with Concubine Yan and brought the matter to the attention of Emperor Jingren.

At this time, Huo Zhanting and Shen Qinglan appeared together in front of General Nangong's mansion.

They had already made an appointment with Nangong Mingyue, so they were waiting for Nangong Mingyue together.

After a while, Nangong Mingyue came hurriedly on horseback.

Even though Nangong Mingyue still looked heroic, Shen Qinglan could still see the fatigue on Nangong Mingyue's face.

"Sister Nangong." Shen Qinglan went to greet her.

Nangong Mingyue got off the horse and threw the whip in his hand to the servant beside him. He walked towards Shen Qinglan with a smile and asked:

"Have you been waiting for a long time? I was just stuck for something. Come on, I'll take you to see my father."

Nangong Mingyue smiled and held Shen Qinglan's hand, then nodded slightly at Huo Zhanting as a greeting.

Shen Qinglan was dragged by Nangong Mingyue into the Nangong Mansion. During this time, Shen Qinglan whispered to Nangong Mingyue:

"Sister, you look unhappy. Is it because of the bet that made Minister Qian angry? If so, I will go back and explain it with King Zhan..."

"He dares to get angry? I'll break his legs! Sister Qinglan, don't worry, that guy is just a coward, afraid of this and that, he doesn't even dare to fart when his own son is bullied!"

Nangong Mingyue interrupted Shen Qinglan directly, and as soon as she opened her mouth, she started to curse Minister Qian!

Although she is usually careless, she is not stupid!

Of course I know that Qian Duoduo must have suffered some injustice in the Imperial College in the past!

But the child didn't tell her when he came back, so she didn't know.

But now that she knew, how could she possibly let the children back off?

Seeing this, Shen Qinglan wanted to say a few more words, but Nangong Mingyue had already tightened her hand and said with a smile:

"Don't worry, dear sister. I have decided to live only for Duoduo in the future. I will not let anyone hinder Duoduo's future! I know this matter well."

Shen Qinglan saw that although Nangong Mingyue's eyes were full of fatigue, her eyes were clear. Knowing that she was not lying to him, he breathed a sigh of relief and nodded:

"Okay, but if my sister needs any help, you must let someone tell me."

"Don't worry! If you don't help, I won't let you go!"

Nangong Mingyue smiled and put her arm around Shen Qinglan's shoulders, and walked in while shouting:

"Dad! I'm back! Look who I brought back for you?"

"presumptuous!"
