Shocking Venomous Consort: Frivolous Miss

“How was tonight’s banquet?” Ling Yichen asked with a smile.

“Annoying. The gambling house was actually run by the first prince. He had come to act chummy today. But, he really knows how to talk.” Ling Chuxi sat down, drank a mouthful of hot tea as she said with an unexpected expression.

“He sought you out?” Fu Chengyu who was by the side listening to Ling Chuxi frowned and immediately sneered as he said. “That’s right too, a person such as he would naturally use any possible opportunity.”

“The gambling house is run by him? Previously he had sent people to assassinate you and now he’s trying to act chummy?” Ling Yichen’s expression froze over.

“He pushed the responsibility away very cleanly. He said that it was something his subordinates had done behind his back and even said that he would give me an explanation. I am too lazy to be bothered.” Ling Chuxi snorted and said with disregard.

“The gambling house is indeed run by him.” Fu Chengyu’s tone was also icy. The owner behind the gambling house was the first prince. Naturally, Fu Chengyu knew this. As for the matter regarding the assassination of Ling Chuxi, perhaps the first prince did not take note of it in the beginning. Having to pay up a large sum of money, the people of the gambling house naturally felt anxious and it was not odd to use such methods. It was just that it’s likely that the first prince was now regretful of having taken action against Ling Chuxi. Few people know that the boss behind the number one gambling house in the capital was actually the first prince. Now that the first prince had actually exposed himself in front of Ling Chuxi, this showed his determination to win over Ling Chuxi.

“Don’t interact too much with the first prince.” Fu Chengyu said seriously with an unprecedented solemnness to his tone.

“Yeah, I know.” Ling Chuxi nodded. There were many princes in the Nan Xia country. The emperor relied on his youth and strength, but he never established a crown prince. In other words, every prince had the opportunity to become the crown prince and inherit the throne in the future. So except for Fu Chengyu, all the princes were cultivating their power in private. Ling Chuxi had no interest in getting involved in this maelstrom.

Ling Chuxi didn’t want to be involved in this maelstrom, but some people didn’t want to let her go just like that.

Early the next morning, when Ling Chuxi and Ling Yichen went out to have breakfast, they were blocked on the street. A carriage stopped in front of them. “Miss Ling!” a young man got off the carriage agilely as he smiled at Ling Chuxi and nodded. This person was the young master of the Gao Clan’s Chamber of Commerce, Gao Wentian.

“Young Master Gao.” Ling Chuxi saw that he was a familiar person so she smiled and greeted him. She did not have much positive feelings toward Gao Wentian, but she did not have any ill feelings either. No matter what, the Gao Clan’s Chamber of Commerce had given her quite a bit of convenience. Although it was out of the businessman’s nature to seek profit, Gao Wentian’s behavior when dealing with people and matters was pretty good.

“Miss Ling, this time I had specially come to seek you out. Thank you for your reminder, which allowed me to earn quite a bit.” Gao Wentian smiled as he spoke, but there was a hint of helplessness in his smile.

“You are welcome. If you would like to thank me, just give me half of the money you won.” Ling Chuxi said without being polite.

Gao Wentian felt cold sweat dripping down the back of his head. Ling Chuxi was truly not being courteous.

“However, Miss Ling, you have also caused me a big trouble.” Gao Wentian sighed as he said with a bitter smile. “You have to help me this time.” How would Gao Wentian have known that the owner behind the largest gambling house was the first prince! He had won a large sum of money this time round, but he also needed to pay a price for it.

“Huh?” Ling Chuxi was a little perplexed.

“There is a friend that wishes to meet you, and asked me to introduce you to him.” Gao Wentian had a helpless expression on his face. He had indeed won quite a bit of money, but it was really not easily won. Now, trouble had come knocking. If he was not able to invite Ling Chuxi over today, he would be in big trouble.
