Chapter 912: Chapter 912: Sincere Advice
Looking at the back of the departing Prince Jing without any hesitation, Ye Jiu couldn’t help but think that the young lady of the Wang Family was really unlucky. She hasn’t even married yet, and her future is already destined.
Blame the old Emperor, who keeps bestowing marriages left and right without caring whether others are willing or not. It’s just insane.
Thinking this, Ye Jiu also went out.
After returning to her room, Ye Jiu thought it over and over, then decided to take out paper and pen to write a letter.
She went out and handed the letter to Liang Xia, "Take this letter to be delivered to the War Prince Residence."
"Yes." Liang Xia took the letter and headed to the outer courtyard.
At the War Prince Residence, after Sikong Mo finished reading the letter, he smiled so happily for the first time that even Si Bei couldn’t help but wonder what was written in the letter that made their Prince so delighted.
It’s just that, before he could figure it out, he heard Sikong Mo instruct, "Go, find some high-quality medicinal herbs in the warehouse and some precious gifts. Tomorrow, this Prince will visit the Jing Prince Residence."
This sudden order left Si Bei somewhat baffled.
"Master, are you sure the Jing Prince won’t kick us out?" Si Bei asked bravely.
After all, ever since knowing about the matter between Princess Changfu and their master, the Jing Prince hasn’t viewed their master favorably.
"Don’t worry, the Princess Consort of Jing is also there, he won’t do that." Sikong Mo said.
Despite the Jing Prince’s usual arrogant demeanor, being fellow men, he can see the way the Jing Prince looks at the Princess Consort of Jing. Sometimes it’s just like how he looks at Jiujiu.
It’s just that, unlike himself who realized his feelings early on, the Jing Prince is probably still in a period of emotional confusion even now!
While Sikong Mo was preparing gifts, Ye Jiu went to see Qin Zhou.
Seeing Qin Zhou lying on the bed, groaning in pain, Ye Jiu approached gleefully, "Quite capable, aren’t you? Learned to gamble and dared to borrow so much silver from the gambling house. Qin Zhou, who gave you the guts?"
Seeing Ye Jiu coming, Qin Zhou immediately pulled up the quilt to cover his head, not daring to cry out in pain anymore.
Ye Jiu pulled down his quilt abruptly and asked, "Come on, tell your sister, what exactly were you thinking? Usually, you are already lackadaisical, but now you’ve become so out of control?"
"I... If I say I was tricked, would you believe me?" Qin Zhou said with a very low voice, clearly lacking confidence.
However, this lack of confidence wasn’t because of what he was saying but because he figured no one would believe it.
"Whether you were tricked or not, tell me the story first." Ye Jiu said.
At that, Qin Zhou slowly began to speak, "Yesterday, I agreed to meet the younger son of the Li Family to fight crickets, and on the way past Wanlai Gambling House, I don’t know what happened. It was like I was possessed, feeling a strong urge to go in and take a look. Later, things became muddled, and I ended up gambling. I don’t know how it happened, but the more I lost, the more riled up I got, and then... then..."
"Aow..."
Ye Jiu remembered picking up the shoe on the ground and whacked it on Qin Zhou’s already bruised and bloody behind, making him scream in pain.
"Then what? I think you just have water in your brain. Once you start gambling, you borrow money recklessly without considering anything..." Ye Jiu scolded.
In this world, why do so many originally good men end up bankrupt, selling their children because of gambling? It’s because once they get on the gambling table, their minds become dizzy, and they can’t control themselves, leading to so many tragedies.
