453: Discovery

Discovery

Madam Wei tugged again, but she still couldn't move it.

Just as she was about to look down to see if the curtain was nailed by nails, the man in the room said, "Madam, please sit."

Madam Wei let go of the curtain and sat down at the table.

The man in luxurious clothes was young and looked to be in his early thirties. He was not very handsome, but he was still considered upright.

Su Xiaoxiao imagined a big show…

No, this was very wrong.

That was her future mother-in-law. It was forbidden to imagine!

The man poured Madam Wei a cup of tea and asked gently, "Madam Wei, why are you visiting my gambling den late at night?"

So he was the boss of the gambling den.

Su Xiaoxiao blinked and continued to listen attentively, as she observed the two of them through the gap in the curtain.

Madam Wei did not drink tea and said indifferently, "Stop beating around the bush. Hand her over."

Boss Lin smiled. "Madam Wei asked me to hand someone over as soon as she arrived. Is it convenient for me to ask who I need to hand over?"

Madam Wei said, "My maidservant."

Boss Lin looked surprised. "Oh? Why is Madam Wei's maid at my gambling den?"

Madam Wei said coldly, "If you continue to beat around the bush, I won't be polite."

Boss Lin smiled and said, "Madam Wei, calm down."

Fortunately, Madam Wei's patience was limited. "I don't want to waste my breath on you. Either hand her over or…"

Boss Lin opened the folding umbrella in his hand. "Or what? How does Madam Wei plan to deal with me? Are you going to let your son destroy my gambling den?"

Su Xiaoxiao really wanted to know how Madam Wei treated Wei Ting in front of others.

Unexpectedly, Madam Wei did not say anything and looked at him indifferently.

Boss Lin smiled. "I was just joking. Madam Wei, please don't take it to heart. A maidservant came to the gambling den today. Her name is Ping'er."

"It's her," Madam Wei said.

Boss Lin looked at the door. "Someone, invite Miss Ping'er over."

The servant guarding outside left in response. Not long after, he walked over with a young maidservant.

The maidservant was young, only 16 or 17 years old. She was wearing patched clothes, her hair was messy, and there was a wound at the corner of her mouth.

Madam Wei's gaze swept across her maidservant.

Boss Lin's tone darkened. "Which blind person did this to Miss Ping'er?"

The servant said innocently, "Boss, she was like this when she came. We didn't even touch a finger of hers!"

Boss Lin looked at Ping'er. "Miss Ping'er?"

Ping'er hid beside Madam Wei.

Madam Wei took out a stack of banknotes and threw them on the table.

"Indenture."

She said.

Boss Lin smiled meaningfully and waved at the servant behind him.

The servant sighed and took the indenture from his pocket to place it on Boss Lin's palm.

Boss Lin said in a low voice, "Why are you giving it to me? Give it to Madam Wei!"

"Yes." The servant handed the indenture to Madam Wei.

Ping'er hesitated for a moment before taking it shakily.

Madam Wei stood up. "Let's go."

"Madam Wei."

Boss Lin stopped her.

Madam Wei asked calmly, "Is there anything else?"

Boss Lin smiled. "If Madam Wei wants a maidservant, just send someone to say it. There's no need to visit her personally. In addition, there's no need for this money. If we had known she was Madam Wei's maidservant, we would have treated her politely and sent her to the residence."

Madam Wei ignored him and left with Ping'er without looking back.

The servant muttered, "Boss, are we letting him go just like that… That bastard owes our casino a lot of money… It's already letting him off easy by only selling a sister to repay his debt…"

Boss Lin looked at Madam Wei's back as she gradually disappeared into the night. He waved his fan and muttered, "What do you know? This person is not someone we can afford to provoke."

"Boss."

Another servant hurriedly entered the house and whispered a few words in his ear.

Boss Lin frowned. "Are you serious?"

"Absolutely," the servant said.

Boss Lin said unhappily, "Why didn't you say so earlier?"

The servant explained, "You only came back tonight…"

Boss Lin slapped the folding fan on the table. "What did Old He do? He was captured by the Imperial Court so easily…"

Old He… The Imperial Court…

Guardian He?

Was this gambling den… a den of the White Lotus Society?!

After Boss Lin and the servant left, Su Xiaoxiao walked out from behind the curtain.

The steward went forward. "Boss Lin, a girl just came in…"

"Get lost!"

Boss Lin was so annoyed. He couldn't be bothered with a bullsh*t girl!

The steward sighed. "Aye, yes."0

He turned around and saw Su Xiaoxiao standing under the corridor. "Miss, did you find the person you wanted to see?"

Su Xiaoxiao said calmly, "Oh, I saw wrongly. That person isn't here. I'll leave first!"

The steward said politely, "Take care."

"Miss! Miss!"

The gambling man rushed over with red eyes and grabbed Su Xiaoxiao's shoulder tightly.

"Miss, I've lost everything! Help me win it back!"

Su Xiaoxiao looked at him indifferently. "Let go."

The man said anxiously, "Miss! As long as you help me win it back, you get 60% and I get 40%! No! You get 70% and I get 30%! You get 70% and I get 30%, right!"

"Not interested," Su Xiaoxiao said and pushed him away.

"You can't do this to me…" The man pounced on Su Xiaoxiao.

The steward gave the burly man a look. The burly man rushed forward and pressed him to the ground, his hands behind his back.

The man struggled desperately. "Miss! Miss, help me gamble again…"

After Su Xiaoxiao left the gambling den, Madam Wei's carriage had long disappeared.

She frowned in confusion.

From their conversation, Boss Lin and Madam Wei knew each other.

And Boss Lin was from the White Lotus Society. What about Madam Wei?

Was she related to the White Lotus Society?

At Pear Blossom Lane, the Su family was in chaos.

Bai Xihe sat on a chair on the east side of the central room, and Qin Canglan sat opposite her.

Bai Xihe nodded drunkenly. "Father…"

Qin Canglan's temples throbbed. He pulled Su Cheng over. "Son, why do I feel that… she looks a little familiar? Don't tell me you kidnapped her from the palace?"

Su Cheng said gloomily, "What palace? It's from a restaurant and this is not a kidnapping!"

What was going on?

Su Cheng had never been so speechless in his life!

Qin Canglan looked at the drunk Bai Xihe who called him father-in-law. "Are you really not from the palace?"

The more he looked at it, the more he felt she looked like someone…

Su Cheng waved his hand and said firmly, "No! She's Daya's patient! She's been to the house a few times! I don't know who you're talking about from the palace, but she's definitely not!"

"Phew!"

Qin Canglan felt relieved.

It was good that it was not that person in the palace. Otherwise, wouldn't he have to rebel on his son's behalf?
