Everything in the casino is still going on as usual, unhurriedly.

Today's harvest was counted, and the person in charge of the casino nodded with satisfaction around the key in his hand. Yes, there are a lot of good goods in this batch.

His gaze swept wildly over the woman in the room, to the girl in a long aqua blue dress, who sat quietly with her eyes down and silent, he paused for a moment, and his eyes swept the parts of her body one by one. Whether it's her plain clothes, plain face but difficult to hide her appearance, or. He paused for a moment in one part of the woman, then looked away.

Tsk, this temperament, this figure. Remembering his mission, the man shook his head. It's a pity that they don't dare to touch such a good product. If they are not satisfied with the goods they delivered, let alone deduct the money, the bosses are unhappy, and they are afraid that they will have to hand it over.

But his eyes swept over the rest of the people, and he quickly picked one that was also delicate. He gestured to the man next to him, and the man smiled implicitly.

Before he closed the door and left, his men pulled the woman by the hair and forced her out of the way amid the frightened eyes and uncontrollable screams.

With his last side glance, he couldn't help but smile smugly as he saw the rest of the girls instinctively approaching each other, huddled together. Fear, they will soon know that what awaits them next is the real hell.

When he left, the woman in blue did not move, but her fist-clenched hand quietly loosened. As if deflated, she leaned lightly against the wall, her eyes closed. Her family was originally a scholarly family, but later the family fell into the middle of the road, leaving only her and her father. Her father is a scholar and does not know the means of making a living, so she can only comfort her father while embroidering every day to support the two of them.

She knew her father's frustration and only thought about working hard to make money so that she could provide for her father in the future.

Suddenly, one day, my father opened the door of the house with a red face in his hand, and said excitedly that he had earned money, and gave it all to her, that she should use it to buy some gold and silver jewelry for herself, and that soon she would not have to work so hard.

She didn't know how long it had been since she had used jewelry. At that moment, she held the silver with her hand with an embroidered wound, and she was moved to tears. Therefore, even if she sensed that something was wrong, because of her trust in her father, she did not continue to ask.

Who would have thought that at the beginning of the family's downfall, she drove away all the people who took the opportunity to come to the door and wanted to take advantage of her, and vowed that she would always protect her father, and later told her that because she lost the money, she would be mortgaged to the casino.

My father later promised, "It's okay, if I win, I'll ransom you." You" She couldn't hear what he said later, her eyes widened in disbelief.

Her father, who used to be so proud and upright, was regarded as a role model by many people in ten miles and eight towns, how could this be the case now? Why can time change a person into a completely strange appearance?

She remembered her father who had kept her behind her. No, perhaps, her father, is dead.

She is no longer small, and she can naturally vaguely feel what kind of place this is. Especially the gaze of the man lingering on her just now. She was so disgusted that she wanted to vomit, but she didn't dare to move.

She stretched out her hand gently, and her hands as white as jade touched the necklace around her neck. It was a jade pendant, the jade was crystal clear, it was a ring shape, and it was tattooed with a cloud pattern, and it was worth a lot of money at a glance. This jade pendant, she is reluctant to bring it. Now, I really don't know what to do.

Here, most of the girls are afraid to hug each other, or sit quietly alone, but they can't hide their nervous fear. There was only one person in the corner, silently observing the situation. Soon, she frowned. The girls here are so uneven in age. However, the eldest of them is only about seventeen years old, and the youngest looks like he is only eight or nine years old.

Anyway, eight or nine years old is too young, right?

They were kept here all day. During this period, several more girls were dragged out, and when they came back, they all looked miserable. The man in the corner clenched his fists in anger. These people are really brutes.

As soon as the night wore on, they were all taken into the carriage and drove slowly away from the casino. Judging from the direction of leaving, it should be the hidden secret door of the casino. She silently wrote it down. Here, you can't let it go.

Next, she watched the direction with bated breath, lest she miss a minute. Thinking of their previous inferences, her eyes were solemn. Proving whether this casino has anything to do with a pet store or not is tonight.

The carriage drove smoothly, and no one noticed that an inconspicuous bird had been following the carriage without stopping.

~_~~_~

The moonlight is bright tonight, the weather is getting colder, no one goes out at night, and it's not time to play the watch.

Jiang Shuyao rarely couldn't sleep. She knew they had already started their investigation today. It's just that she was a little nervous.

Gu Yong couldn't reveal too many of these things to her, so he only told her about today's actions and asked her not to go out as much as possible.

After all, in Gu Yong's opinion, Jiang Shuyao was the person who had been targeted, in case they noticed the wind and wanted to break the net, Jiang Shuyao still stayed obediently in the Xuanping Marquis Mansion.

couldn't sleep, Jiang Shuyao simply got up and came out. She wore only her bedclothes, hastily draped a dress, and went out into the courtyard. However, she actually found that Jiang Yuan's yard was still lit up?

Jiang Yuan is already ten years old. Jiang Shuyao remembered that in the early years, because she was afraid that Jiang Yuan would be left unattended, she asked Jiang Yuan to move to the yard next door to her. Now that Jiang Yuan is older, in a few years, he may have to move out.

Jiang Shuyao made up his mind to take a look. Speaking of which, Jiang Yuan is afraid that he is the most fond of reading among the juniors in the entire Xuanping Marquis Mansion.

What's more, Jiang Yuan is not only diligent, but also intelligent. In the early years, the teachers who taught him changed batch after batch, but what remained unchanged was the praise of him: this child was born to read.

Therefore, even if Jiang Xu doesn't say it, they can feel his love for Jiang Yuan that has gradually grown over the years. However, Jiang Xu has always been measured, Jiang Yuan is good, but the future Xuanping Hou must be Jiang Huai.

Jiang Shuyao felt that although Jiang Xu was not a good man, he could be regarded as a winner in life in terms of children. Three sons, one is just the right heir, one is mature and steady, and the other can glorify the lintel. The daughters also have their own temperaments, and Jiang Shuyao believes that if they are given the opportunity to fight for in modern times, they can also make achievements.

It's just that it's a pity after all.
