"Oh ho ho, I have fifteen points again, oh my!" Bixi smiled like a spray of trembling flowers, confident of winning for sure. Mama Du and the group of young ladies encircling by the side watched and constantly gave her encouragement, sometimes even comforting Luo Qing Luan.

Luo Qing Luan smiled emotionlessly. So this was what they meant by 'a game'. They actually wanted to swindle her of all her money? Otherwise, how could that Miss Bixi produce a number higher than fifteen every single time? If she wasn't cheating, how could she have such good luck?

She originally only wanted to have some fun and be happy, but didn't expect that the other person actually was tricking her. They're truly taking her for a fool?

Luo Qing Luan casually grabbed a dice, then said in a clueless manner. "Let's not play this Big and Small game anymore. How about changing to a different game? Something more simple like guess which of my hand the dice is in. If you guess correctly, I'll reward ten taels of silver, incorrect, and Miss Bixi only needs to give me five taels, how's that?"

Hearing this, Bixi was somewhat unwilling as she looked several times at Mama Du. The latter nodded her head, so she immediately said, "Alright, then the Young Sir can go ahead, I'll take a guess."

Luo Qing Luan allowed her to clearly see the dice in the palm of her right hand, then hid them

behind her. After a moment, she extended two closed fists and smiled faintly. "Miss Bixi, make a guess, which hand is it in?"

"Left hand!" She answered right away, because the people standing behind Luo Qing Luan had just stealthily given her a hint.

Luo Qing Luan opened her left hand, then smiled. "You lost." Sure enough, the left hand was empty. No dice.

Losing the first game was really no big deal. Bixi was slightly dazed, but didn't take it to heart. But after she successively lost seven games, and an entire thirty five taels of silver, she finally panicked. "Mama Du, I......"

Complexion darkening, Mama Du glared at her. "Step aside, useless thing." Following which she again smiled toward Luo Qing Luan. "Young SIr, Bixi is too dumb, let's change to having Tao Ying guess, is that alright?"

Luo Qing Luan didn't have any objection, so very quickly, a delicate girl dressed apricot color came, makeup simple, yet elegant, wearing a smile.

However, after Luo Qing Luan won six games in a row, this Miss Tao Ying also started to drip cold sweat.

A young woman then straightforwardly came forward. "Young Sir, how about we play mahjong?"

Not saying anything, Mama Du immediately had someone fetch a set of mahjong tiles. Moreover, she even raised the stakes. If Luo Qing Luan lost, she would pay one hundred taels. If the other lady loses, she would pay three hundred taels. The stakes would double with each successive game.

Since she knew the others were deliberately trying to get her money, Luo Qing Luan also didn't hold back when she struck. After playing two hours of mahjong, she killed all four sides, skillfully counting the tiles, such that the other three players' faces were as black as a pot. Each person lost no less than five hundred taels.

Following this, even Mama Du knew that they had encountered an expert and begged for forgiveness repeatedly. "This Young Sir, please be merciful, the young ladies......truly can't afford to lose......"

"En, we merely played for awhile, why aren't you continuing? I'm still waiting for the beauties to sing and dance for me, you know?" Luo Qing Luan was smiling in the same manner as before, not revealing the slightest trace of anything.

"Let's not play anymore, let's not play......" Mama Du didn't dare to continue anymore. If they continued, she was afraid they would lose even the clothes on their bodies.

Luo Qing Luan also didn't insist and spread out her hands. "Fine, then. Give me my money, a total of two thousand one hundred eighty taels. Forget the change. Mama Du can just give me two thousand taels and it'll be fine."

"Two thousand? Oh my god......" Mama Du nearly fainted.

Upstairs watching the show this entire time, Nangong Yu also finally couldn't take it anymore. He originally thought that this youngster was easy pickings. Didn't expect that he was actually a practiced hand. Not only had the young ladies been fondled with, even the gambling was formidable. Those practiced tricks were completely useless against him.

"I actually couldn't tell...this youngster is a bit formidable. Ziqing, what do you think?" He mumbled with a mind to personally meet such an interesting person. How come he had not heard of him before? When all was said and done, what family in the capital did he come from?

As before, Nalan Ye spoke indifferently. "If you're interested, then why don't you just meet him."

Following that, another servant arrived in front of Luo Qing Luan and said respectfully, "Young Sir, your owner would like to invite you upstairs. Please head in that direction."

Waiting for her money before leaving, Luo Qing Luan smiled again. Was it possible that she won so much money that the owner didn't want to pay, and even wanted to give her trouble? However, the other party's attitude seemed to be pretty good!

After thinking it over, Luo Qing Luan had Dai Yue wait downstairs while she went upstairs to take a look.

To be capable of establishing such a big Heavenly Dream Tower in the capital, perhaps this so-called owner was a genuinely big character. For example, someone like that backer for Boss Li at the Hundred Taste Study, someone probably as influential as Nangong Chen.

"Master, the young sir is here." The servant performed a formal greeting before withdrawing.

"Please sit." As Nangong Yu spoke, he sized her up. Only at close distance did he discover that this person was surprisingly so delicate, simply as beautiful as a girl.

Luo Qing Luan also took a good look at the person in this room. She didn't expect that there were actually two people. Moreover, they're both men!

Taking a casual glance, Nalan Ye was originally not paying attention, but this one glance caused him to stare startled. This delicate young man before him dressed as a young scholar was clearly a girl.

Moreover......she seemed to be familiar?
