Chapter 41 Support Gu Xi

 Chen Sheng ran to the front of the gambling house and saw several large boxes piled there. His heart beat fast. With a flattering smile on his face, he invited the leading chambermaid to come in.

Fortunately, the Sixth Prince didn't come in person.

Chen Sheng secretly exhaled a breath.

"According to His Highness's order, our family brought 50,000 taels of silver to bet on Miss Gu voluntarily breaking off the engagement and canceling the engagement. If we win, how much can we make?"

The leading waiter didn't talk nonsense and said directly.

This is the current situation of the bet about Gu Xi and Lu Heng’s engagement.

There are two bets in total. The first bet is whether Gu Xi will take the initiative to break off the engagement or the Lu family will take the initiative. The second bet is whether the engagement will be successfully terminated.

After all, there may be situations where one party proposes to cancel the engagement, but the other party does not agree, and the marriage cannot be dissolved.

If you want to bet, you have to bet twice in a row. Only if you win both times can you get money.

"Back to my father-in-law, if the bet wins, the loss will be doubled, that is, fifty thousand will become one hundred thousand."

Chen Sheng said quickly.

"That's okay. All the money our family brought has been pledged. Please give us a certificate."

The chamberlain is aloof and pure.

"Here... please wait a moment, father-in-law. With such a large denomination of bets, I can't make the decision. I have to wait for the boss to come."

Chen Sheng looked embarrassed and said quickly.

If they win these 50,000 taels, the casino will pay 50,000 taels. Although the casino will not go bankrupt, it will still cause a lot of bleeding.

Therefore, he cannot be the master of such a big thing.

The chamberlain looked impatient and urged in a sharp voice, "Why don't you hurry up and call your boss? It will delay my Highness from making money, and be careful that His Highness will cause you trouble."

"The younger one has already sent someone." Chen Sheng tensed up and quickly flattered,

"The Sixth Prince is very discerning, so he is very likely to win with this bet. After all, Gu Xi is a lowly peasant girl, and the Lu family will definitely cancel the engagement.

However, the chances of winning are higher if the Lu family takes the initiative to break off the engagement, so Gu Xi will definitely not be willing to give up such a good marriage."

"Nonsense! How dare you slander Miss Gu. If my Highness hears this, I will pluck out your tongue!"

The chamberlain pointed at Chen Sheng, scolded with a sullen face and a sharp voice.

"Young one, I don't dare! Seeing His Highness's bet, I thought I was disgusted with Miss Gu and wanted to humiliate her..."

Chen Sheng knelt down with a bang and explained in a cold sweat.

At the same time, Chen Sheng was puzzled.

Gu Xi is no longer the legitimate daughter of the Hou family. If she loses this good marriage again, her situation will be even more miserable.

The Sixth Prince didn't help save the marriage, but still hoped that the divorce would be successful. Didn't he just want to harm Gu Xi?

You can’t blame Chen Sheng for thinking this way, it’s a normal person’s thinking.

Nowadays, most people are betting that the Lu family will take the initiative to cancel the engagement and the engagement will be terminated.

"You fart! My Highness can't dislike Miss Gu even if he dislikes anyone." The chamberlain directly interrupted Chen Sheng's words and said angrily,

"My Highness has said that the Crown Prince is not worthy of Miss Gu. Miss Gu wants to break off the engagement because she finally got the idea.

He raised his hands in approval, and the reason why he had to deposit so much money was just to support Miss Gu and support her!"

"Ah?" Chen Sheng's eyes widened in shock, with a stupid look on his face.

Is that so?!

"Oh shit! If we hear you humiliate and slander Miss Gu again, we won't be able to spare you!" The chamberlain kicked him over.

Chen Sheng came to his senses after being kicked to the ground, repeatedly begged for mercy and promised that he would never bully Miss Gu again.

At this moment, there was another commotion outside, and the waiter hurried in and said to Chen Sheng with bright eyes,

"Steward, someone is betting again. We still have to bet that Miss Gu will take the initiative to break off the engagement and the engagement will be canceled successfully."

Chen Sheng's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly got up from the ground and went out to check.

He turned out to be from Prince Anjun’s Mansion!

Who in the capital doesn't know that Prince An is the living King of Hell? How dare Chen Sheng offend him? He wiped the sweat from his head and hurriedly stepped forward to entertain him.

Just like the person who greeted the Sixth Prince's Mansion just now, he took the person to the VIP room for tea again.

At the same time, Chen Sheng murmured in his heart, Prince An made such a bet to support Miss Gu, not to humiliate her?!

Yes, yes, there was a rumor the day before yesterday that King An was so angry that he threatened Miss Gu as his savior, and if he offended Miss Gu, he would be offended.

Now King An has sent people to place bets, and he has paid so much money, obviously to support Gu Xi!

Because Prince An and the Sixth Prince have never dealt with each other, both sides looked down upon each other.

In particular, King An's people brought 60,000 taels of silver, which was 10,000 more than the Sixth Prince and weighed down the Sixth Prince.

This is incredible. People on both sides are mocking and attacking each other, saying that their master cares more about Miss Gu and wants to compete.

We were in the same room and almost got into a fight.

Chen Sheng, "..."

Boss, come and help me quickly!

He can't stand it anymore.

That Gu Xi, bah, this is the respected Miss Gu. How could she be so capable that she made a prince or a county king jealous of her, fight her, and take the money without blinking an eye.

However, this is not the end yet!

After a while, the waiter ran in again panting, his eyes were bright, and he shouted in a high-pitched voice,

"The steward, here comes again!"

Chen Sheng's heart jumped violently and he hurried out to greet him. To his surprise, the person who came this time was actually the housekeeper of Ruyang Prince's Mansion.

Chen Sheng, "..."

Is he too sleepy?!

No, is he crazy?

The King of Ruyang, who is said to be selfless, actually let people place bets!

Moreover, the families are being held separately.

The King of Ruyang pledged 80,000 taels, and Princess Rubao pledged 20,000 taels of her personal money!

Is this a disease?

As a family, they even split their money to show that they are rich.

Chen Sheng was sweating coldly, his legs were shaking, and he invited people in again.

With people from the Ruyang Palace suppressing the situation, the people from the Sixth Prince and Prince An finally calmed down.

But before Chen Sheng could take a breath, the waiter came over again.

"Guard, in charge, there's someone here again!"

"...Whose troops are they from this time?" Chen Sheng wiped his sweat and asked numbly.

"It's the British Duke and Mrs. Song who sent someone here." The waiter replied quickly, his eyes shining with excitement.

What happened this morning and the people he received are enough for him to brag about for the rest of his life.

When he gets old, he will tell his grandson eight hundred times a day!

Chen Sheng hurriedly ran out to greet me, thinking, my mother, Mrs. Song is here to join in the fun!

I wonder how much money this big shot will pay.

Mrs. Song has many shops under her name, but she is very rich.

While Chen Sheng was worried about the fate of the casino, he was also interested in gossip.

After all, if the sky falls, the boss is holding it up, so it can’t hit him.

He was lucky enough to receive these top dignitaries in person, and he was so excited to see them frantically spending money on a down-and-out young lady from a poor family!

Chen Sheng was not disappointed, Mrs. Song wanted to deposit one hundred thousand taels!

Among them, there are fifty thousand taels of silver notes and fifty thousand taels of silver.

According to the steward sent by Mrs. Song, they were supposed to take the banknotes, but when I asked about the box that everyone was carrying, it seemed that they were out of place not to carry the box.

Lift, must lift!

Chen Sheng, "..."
