Peasant Woman’s Decreed Life as a Wife

Chapter 2244: Chapter 2241: Casino

Betting on this game of chance, ten taels of silver in one go, is really quite a lot.

Many people withdrew, deciding not to gamble, and even made way for others, simply watching with anticipation, curious to see what outcome this new fat sheep would have.

No one had good intentions, clearly showing their thoughts on their faces.

Tang Dongfeng saw it clearly, sneering, "Hurry and shake."

Standing behind him were Ye Muyu and Liuye, both cleverly disguised.

How could Ye Muyu possibly remain indifferent after being plotted against for six hundred taels?

Since they were pulling these tricks behind her back, she wouldn’t expose the matter on the surface. Instead, she disguised herself to win the silver back at the casino.

Tang Dongfeng generally didn’t exchange eye contact with her, but he glanced at her before the betting started.

The first round, perhaps due to luck, Tang Dongfeng actually won.

After winning, he divided the winnings into three shares and handed them over to Ye Muyu and Liuye.

"It’s better to share happiness than enjoying it alone. You two play along with me, if you win, the silver is yours, but if you lose all your silver, there’s no reward left."

"Yes..." Liuye’s face was expressionless, but inside she was amused. She knew that before departing, the lady mastered the art of listening to dice without making a mistake. Clearly, she was using the lady’s skills to cause trouble for the gambling den!

She felt rather excited just thinking about it.

After all, her role was simply to play unpredictably.

The randomness would leave no trace, no pattern, fulfilling her task.

Thus.

When the croupier had shaken the dice and it was time to place bets, Liuye acted swiftly, fearing that after knowing the lady’s choice, she wouldn’t know how to choose herself.

Rather than overthinking and potentially derailing the lady’s plan, it was better to randomly pick ahead, leaving the lady and Steward Tang to handle afterwards.

After Liuye placed her bet.

She saw her lady bet on small again, while Steward Tang bet on large following her.

When the answer was revealed.

Surprisingly, it was small.

She let out a sigh of relief.

Continuing in the same manner.

Maintaining a rhythm of losing more and winning less.

Ye Muyu did the same, losing more and winning less, but since she varied the amount of money she bet each time, her total remaining silver was even less than Liuye’s.

However, Tang Dongfeng was different. His bets were large, winning more and losing less.

In a short period, he surprisingly gained over fifty taels.

This attracted several gamblers watching him, thinking it was miraculous, as many had already followed his bets to win more silver.

Yet, this game of chance couldn’t cause the house to lose.

Thus.

When Tang Dongfeng won fifty taels.

Someone from the casino came over, inviting him to play on the second floor.

Tang Dongfeng immediately agreed.

"Great, I feel my luck is good today. This game is too small, not satisfying enough."

The casino steward twitched his lips slightly on hearing this.

The dice game had just been swept clean by him, and if another loss was incurred, everyone would follow his bets, forcing the house to pay out, which he wouldn’t allow to happen to Tang Dongfeng.

Upstairs.

Tang Dongfeng was ushered to another game.

Seeing those already seated seemed to be unfamiliar merchants.

There were no profligate sons from the capital.

But Ye Muyu unexpectedly saw someone.

Xu Chan.

Wasn’t this person an official newspaper officer, sitting casually in the gambling den, apparently having played for quite a while already?
