Chapter 216: Self-inflicted
After listening to Xiahou Ying's words, Xuanyuan Yao hesitated for a long time, and finally raised her head to look at Xiahou Ying, but there was still a trace of uncertainty in her eyes.
"You know, I'm not going to hurt them!" Xiahou Ying looked at Xuanyuan Yao firmly and said softly.
After hesitating for a while, Xuanyuan Yao finally spoke slowly, "Speaking of this, it is also Ah Liang's own doing, after all, this matter was originally provoked by Ah Liang......
"What the hell is going on? You hurry up and speak to me in detail. Xiahou Ying pulled Xuanyuan Yao and sat down.
"The last time I was on a regular vacation, Ah Liang didn't know what to do, not only feasted in the villa of Pingyuan Palace, but also opened a gambling game, attracting a large number of children from the family, and even Situ Ji was dragged away." A flash of anger flashed on Xuanyuan Yao's face, obviously very dissatisfied with Nan Rongliang's absurdity.
"And then? Did they bet? Xiahou Ying asked softly.
Xuanyuan Yao nodded, "During the banquet, Ah Liang suddenly proposed to open a gambling game of tens of thousands of taels and asked if anyone dared to play. Because the amount of money was too large, no one present dared to answer him, and in the end, only Ah Chen, Situ Ji, Feng Jixiao, the youngest son of the Wantong Yinhao family, and Zou Qinmiao, the eunuch of Guozijian, agreed. “
"Nan Rongliang is messing around, why does Ah Chen mess around with him?" Xiahou Ying asked puzzled.
"Ah Chen reluctantly agreed because Ah Liang seemed to be in a bad mood that day and didn't want to ruin his interest." Xuanyuan Yao explained.
"And what about later? Why did it become Ah Chen, and they owed Situ Ji money? Even if they lose the bet, Ah Chen, they won't lose and not give money? Xiahou Ying looked at Xuanyuan Yao suspiciously.
Each of the five of them prepared a silver ticket of five thousand taels as the principal. According to the rules set by Ah Liang, they will bet ten rounds, and whoever wins the most times will have the 25,000 taels of silver tickets for that person. Xuanyuan Yao whispered.
"Twenty-five thousand taels, that's really a lot of money...... It seems that the last winner is Young Master Ji? Xiahou Ying gritted her teeth and said. Why does this Nan Rongliang have so many moths? gave Situ Jian so much money in vain, and even she felt pain when she heard it.
Xuanyuan Yao nodded, then frowned, "But...... But the silver tickets were lost......"
"What? Lost?! Xia Houying stood up from her chair in shock, "What's the matter?" ”
"Nobody knows what's going on...... The box containing the silver ticket had been placed on the gambling table all along, and no one had touched it, but by the time Ah Liang took the money for Situ Ji, the box was already empty...... "Xuanyuan Yao shook her head helplessly.
Situ Jian insisted that Ah Liang was willing to gamble and not admit defeat, so he hid the silver ticket and forced Ah Liang to hand over the silver ticket within ten days. But even if Ah Liang is willing to suffer this dumb loss, where will he go to make up such a large sum of money for a while? Xuanyuan Yao frowned.
"So, the silver ticket is not from Nanrong Liangzang?" Xiahou Ying confirmed to Xuanyuan Yao again.
"It's not!" Xuanyuan Yao shook her head firmly, "Although Ah Liang is usually a little ridiculous, this matter is not only related to him, even Ah Chen is also involved, Ah Liang will not harm Ah Chen!" ”
"This is a little strange to me, since Situ Jian decided that Nan Rongliang stole the silver ticket, why did he go to Ah Chen's trouble again?" Xiahou Ying asked suspiciously.
"Because Ah Liang didn't hand over the money on time, Situ Ji became angry, so he thought of using Ah Chen to blackmail Ah Liang!" Xuanyuan Yao said indignantly.
