Mei Zichu's beautiful phoenix eyes narrowed slightly and looked at the ordinary-looking lady who just spoke.

"What, you want to repay the debt of the third child of the Yao Family?"

Banxia approached without looking at Mei Zichu, which made Mei Zichu angry.

There was no woman in the capital city who was not fascinated by his beauty, but this ordinary-looking lady looked down upon him.

Banxia reached out and picked up the dice cards on the table and looked at them one by one.

A cool and pleasant voice said: "I am poor, and my pocket is cleaner than my face."

When everyone heard this, they burst out laughing. "My pocket is cleaner than my face." This phrase was fresh and interesting.

Mei Zichu raised her eyebrows and said: "You little woman, since you are so poor, what are you pretending for?"

Banxia then looked at Mei Zichu: "Your family's law stipulates that poor people cannot speak? Besides, if you are not a swindler, why don't you let others talk about it?"

As soon as these words came out, Marquis Yao was so frightened that he quickly pulled Banxia and said, "Daughter, don't talk nonsense, this is Young Lord Mei, and her mother is the eldest princess."

Banxia was not afraid at all: "When his majesty the emperor and the common people break the laws, both are equally guilty, not to mention that Young Lord Mei is just a county prince."

Everyone subconsciously took a step back, they didn't want to have anything to do with this desperate woman, they didn't want to be implicated.

Marquis Yao was so anxious that he was sweating on his forehead profusely. This girl is really not afraid of the tigers. Does she know that she is walking on the tip of a knife now?

Cangzhu, who was still scared at first, felt confident after hearing Banxia's words.

"See, I just told you, how can I keep losing when I'm betting? There's really a trick here, you guys are cheating!"

Blue veins popped up on Marquis Yao's forehead. I'm afraid the only way to solve this problem is to ask the emperor to intervene.

Who doesn't know that when the little bully in Dayue gets stubborn, his own father couldn't even control him, let alone those who doesn't have as much power as the Old Master Mei.

With a sound of "Pa...", the young county prince angrily slammed the table, pointed at Banxia and shouted: "You ignorant woman, how dare you wrongly accuse me, let me see if I don't kill you." 

Marquis Yao was so scared that his legs were shaking. He felt so weak. No matter how high his status is, he can't compare with the princess and county prince.

Just as he was about to step forward to plead for mercy, he heard his daughter say something that was even more outrageous, she was really not afraid of death: "Why? The young county prince turns angry now because he felt guilty?"

"She's just too cool!" The third elder brother mumbled to himself.

So he threw away those fears and said very excitedly: "Little girl, what you said is good, if you expose this cheater surname Mei, I will take you as my concubine." 

Huh?

For an instant, Yao Banxia felt like a ​​thousands of crows squawked over her head: "..."

Marquis Yao was so angry at his stupid son that he wanted to vomit blood. He was so angry that he stepped forward and slapped him on the head.

"You bastard, who are you taking as your concubine? She is your biological younger sister!"

Cangzhu originally felt aggrieved by the slap from her father, but when he heard that it was her younger sister, he felt that he was not aggrieved anymore and he really deserved that slap.

He didn't care about that slap anymore, now he was quite happy to be beaten: "My little sister is back? Uh, why are you not as good-looking as your brothers, but I like your temper, your temperament is just like me, your third brother." (TL: This third brother is so unreliable)

Marquis Yao was so pissed off by this idiotic son, if her precious daughter was like this little bastard, he would just wipe her neck.

Yao Banxia rolled her eyes at Cangzhu. This third brother of hers was still the same as in her previous life. He was such a stupid and gullible person.

However, in her previous life, she had no idea what was going on here because she slept at night. She only knew that her stupid brother was carried back home the next day.

At that time, when he came back, he had broke his legs. Banxia blamed himself for being a bad guy.

"I don't care whose daughter you are, you will have to pay the price if you dare to frame me."

Banxia's face turned black and she scolded: "I really wonder whether you have been raised and educated by that old magistrate to judge impartially, but you have to follow the rules, no matter you want it or not."

For the first time, someone dared to yell at Mei Zichu like this, and everyone was shocked, including Mei Zichu.

Banxia showed no fear at all and looked directly into Mei Zichu's eyes, not giving him any chance to attack.

"If you are a gentleman, let me check these dice. If there is no problem, I will let you deal with me."

Mei Zichu, who originally wanted to kill Banxia, ​​took a long time to react.

If he doesn't agree with the challenge, wouldn't he become a villain and make people more suspicious of him?

He could only swallow his anger for now. He was not afraid of being challenged or got investigated if he was upright. This little lady be able to find anything. He would make her pay later.

He jumped down from the gambling table and jumped directly in front of Banxia. They were so close that they could hear each other's slight breathing.

Marquis Yao was so frightened that he hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Young Lord Mei, my daughter has just returned from the countryside. She doesn't know anything..."

Before Marquis Yao could finish his words, he stopped by Mei Zichu. Marquis Yao's hand was pushed away ruthlessly and for interrupting.

"This is a matter between me and this damn little girl. No one is allowed to interfere. I want to see what kind of trouble you, a little village girl, can make."

Ban Xia raised her eyes and looked directly into Mei Zichu's eyes: "Do you let me to check now?"

"Check, check as you like, but one thing is that if you can't find anything, I will not only want your brother's legs, but also your eyes."

"It's a deal."

Mei Zichu frowned, his eyes wrinkled. This little lady agree so quickly? She didn't even make any demands if there's a chance if she's winning?

Banxia had no time to pay attention to him anymore. She looked directly at the dice and on the table and reached out to touch them one by one.

At the window of a luxurious private room in the attic, a man in light clothes had a panoramic view of the scene downstairs.

"Master, would you like me to go down and help the fifth young miss? This Lord Mei is not easy to deal with."

The man in light clothes, with a face like a beautiful jade, he possessed sword-shaped brows and starry eyes, and looks like a banished immortal descend from the ninth heaven. His looks was so dazzling that it made people obsessed.

It's just that the aura around him was as cold as ice, as if any stranger who takes even half a step closer will be killed on the spot, especially the domineering aura that he exudes makes people unconsciously frightened.

"No need." He opened his thin lips lightly and said in a magnetic voice: "It's relatively easy for the little girl to deal with this Mei Zichu compared to that person from the Jin Family."

Downstairs, everyone looked at Banxia's back and started talking.

"She's is really a country bumpkin. She offended Lord Mei as soon as she came here. I think the rumors about her being stupid and arrogant are all true." 

"I heard that this girl was raised in the countryside by the Marquis Family. She doesn't understand anything. Look at her. Her unlucky face is nothing compared to her sister, the most beautiful woman in the capital." (TL: Ugh, really? How can this people judge the face lucky or unlucky? Who is actually the country bumpkin here? 🥲)

"No, I heard that this young lady from the countryside is not only vulgar, but also domineering and hard to get along with. She has a very vicious heart. "

Faced with everyone's whispers and discussions, Banxia listened quietly but didn't take it seriously.

In her previous life, she had heard many rumors even worse than this. What does this even mean?

Banxia checked all the dice and the Pai-Gow board, but there was no trace of any manipulation.

Mei Zichu was proud: "Damn little girl, you have finished checking them, right? Is there any evidence that I have cheated?"

Banxia shook his head: "I didn't find it."

Mei Zichu snorted coldly: "Heh, I've let you showing off for too long. Someone, please take this little lady's eyes, dug them out and fed them to the fish."

"Yes."

"Wait a minute..."

Just when everyone was sweating over Banxia, ​​Banxia pointed directly at the boy next to Mei Zichu.

"I want to search him."

Upon hearing this, the expression of the boy next to Mei Zichu suddenly changed, and his body subconsciously moved back.

His performance made Banxia even more confident in her guess that this person could win a million taels without losing a single game. She would not believe it even if he said there were no tricks.
