Chapter 415

The jewelry in the jewelry pavilion had always been expensive. Qiao ruoyi had to make Xie Yun bleed to vent her anger. If Xie Yun did not have this silver, he would have to sell off his ancestral property.

He had to vent his anger.

It was the first time the shopkeeper had seen such a large sum of money. “Madam Xie, I’m afraid this will cost 500,000 taels of silver. This...”

In this way, the Xie family might not even be able to sell their ancestral residence for this amount of silver!

Xie Yun said, “Wrap it up. As for the silver, I will naturally settle it with your boss.”

The shopkeeper said, “Oh, okay. I will wrap it up now.”

Qiao ruoyi asked Xie Yun, “Do you know the owner of the Jewelry Pavilion?”

The owner of the jewelry pavilion was very mysterious in Chang ‘an city. He made a lot of money every day. Many officials wanted to get to know him but were unable to. Not long ago, there was a young lady who came to cause trouble, but it was settled, the young lady who caused trouble was also investigated.

Qiao ruoyi also wanted to get to know the owner of the jewelry store. If she could get the account book of the jewelry store, it would be obvious which official was corrupt.

Xie Yun nodded. “Do you still have places to visit?”

Qiao ruoyi said, “Yes!”

Since so many jewelry did not make Xie Yun frown, she went to the pawnshop that she had visited before and took all the treasures that she had valued for a long time.

The manager of the pawnshop smiled and said, “Madam, please wait a moment. I will wrap it up for you now. I have seen that you are fated with me in the past. In the future, I hope that you will remember that I have given you a few taels of silver in the past and give me some tips.”

Qiao ruoyi looked at Xie Yun who was beside her and Xie Yun said, “This pawnshop is the property of the Xie family.”

Qiao ruoyi looked at the treasures that were wrapped up and felt that it was meaningless. “Then who is the owner of the jewelry pavilion?”

Without waiting for Xie Yun to reply, the Xie Manor’s housekeeper hurriedly went forward and said, “Master, Madam, the Empress has ordered Madam to quickly enter the palace.”

Seeing that her sister was looking for her, Qiao Ruoyi did not dare to be negligent and hurriedly rushed into the palace.

After entering the Changle Palace, Qiao Ruoyi saw the shopkeeper that she had seen in the jewelry pavilion not long ago.

Qiao Jinniang helplessly said to Qiao ruoyi, “I remember that you don’t like those jewelry. If you like them, you can say so earlier. But you can’t buy out the jewelry pavilion all of a sudden!”

Qiao Jinniang was not afraid that the jewelry in the jewelry pavilion could not be sold. She was afraid that the jewelry pavilion had no jewelry to sell. The jewelry in the jewelry pavilion was so expensive because of the good craftsmanship, some of the craftsmanship could only be done by dozens of people in a year.

Qiao ruoyi had bought out all the expensive jewelry in the jewelry pavilion all at once. She did not know when the jewelry pavilion would be able to restock.

There had been no jewelry for sale. When that time came, even if there were jewelry, not many people would enter the jewelry pavilion again.

Qiao ruoyi asked tentatively, “Sister, did you open the Jewelry Pavilion?”

“Yes,”Qiao Jinniang replied, “Return all the jewelry you bought to the jewelry pavilion. If you like it, I’ll ask the Shanggong Bureau to give you a few more sets of exquisite jewelry.”

Qiao ruoyi shook her head repeatedly and said, “No need, sister. I just want to spend all of Xie Yun’s silver...”

“Spend all of Xie Yun’s silver?”Qiao Jinniang smiled lightly. “You’re really brave.”

After Qiao Ruoyi left the palace, she saw Xie Yun waiting for her outside the palace and said, “Do you know that the manager of the jewelry store is sister?”

“The jewelry store receives so much silver every day. Naturally, it has to cooperate with the money house. The properties under Her Majesty’s name all have dealings with the Xie family money house,”Xie Yun said.

Three Days of peace.

After Qiao Ruoyi returned to the Qiao residence, Fu Lu pulled her to his courtyard. “You’re really amazing. On the first day of your marriage, you made Xie Yun spend so much silver.”

Qiao ruoyi sighed and said, “No, the jewelry in the jewelry pavilion can’t be bought out. He didn’t spend any silver afterward.”

Fu Lu said, “Why can’t it be bought out?”

Qiao ruoyi sighed and said, “Because the jewelry pavilion is my sister’s property.”

Fu Lu widened his eyes and said, “The Empress’s property? Well, she didn’t tell me about it. I wonder if the silver i spent in the jewelry pavilion all these years can be returned?”

Qiao ruoyi said to Fu Lu, “Where else in Chang ‘an can I spend money like water?”

Fu Lu thought for a moment and said, “If you want to spend money, the best place is the gambling den. Come, sister-in-law will take you to the gambling den to see the world.”

Qiao Ruoyi:”...”

Qiao Ruoyi had always been well-behaved and had never set foot in the gambling den. This was the first time she had entered. Qiao ruoyi looked at the elegant layout inside, and it was not the gambling den that she had imagined.

“This is King Rong’s new gambling house. The old gambling house has been used to open the Hundred Savory Restaurant. This gambling house has just opened and its business is very good. Let’s go and play a few games.”

When King Rong saw Fu Lu and Qiao ruoyi, he said to Fu Lu, “You are now the wife of the heir of the Marquis Mansion. Why are you encouraging the imperial court officials to come to my gambling house?”

Fu Lu said, “It’s not good to earn money for you. Let’s play a game. Today, you will be the banker.”

County Prince Rong replied, “We welcome people who send money. Come, what do you want to Bet?”

Fu Lu recalled that on the birthday of Qiao Jinniang, Qiao Ruoyi lost when she played dice and plates. Although she cheated, Qiao Ruoyi’s luck might not be good. He said, “Let’s play dice and bet on the size.”

Betting on the size was the simplest gambling game in the casino.

Qiao Ruoyi placed five 100-tael notes on the size. “I’ll bet on the size.”

Little County Prince Rong opened the Dice Cup. There were two 5s and a 4s inside. Naturally, it was a big one, “Our Casino is not allowed to bet more than five coins. Before the casino opened, His Majesty had repeatedly reminded us that these 500-tael notes don’t count. They don’t count.”

Fu Lu said, “Aren’t you cheating?”

Young County Prince Rong said, “Didn’t you forget just now? It’s fine if I win five hundred taels for you, but the next round must not exceed five coins. At most, it will be five coins. If His Majesty finds out, my gambling house will be closed again.”

Qiao ruoyi sighed and looked at Fu Lu helplessly.

Fu Lu said, “I know there’s another place. It’s a real life of luxury. I just have to go at night. But at night, your brother won’t allow me to go out with you alone.”

Fu Lu turned his gaze to county prince Rong and said, “Why don’t you ask Qiao Lui Out? That way, when I return home before Qiao Lui returns, he will naturally not know that I’ve sneaked out.”

County Prince Rong frowned and said, “Don’t let me get involved in this matter. I Can’t beat your husband.”

Fu Lu said, “If you don’t help, I will tell His Majesty about the bet of 500 taels of silver just now. See if your gambling house can continue to operate!”

“I’m afraid of you. But apart from Spring Breeze Street in Chang ‘an, where else can you spend money like water?”County Prince Rong asked curiously.

Fu Lu smiled lightly, “That is to go to Spring Breeze Street!”
