ARDA - Chapter 45 - One more Earring

 Xu Yuanqing didn't look good at the moment.

His face was bruised and swollen from the beating, and his eyes were red.

He took the money given by Jiang Ning and went directly to the gambling house. The first few handfuls tasted the benefits. He thought he would soon win back all the money he lost in the past few days, but he didn't expect to lose everything.

He didn't believe he could not win, so he borrowed another sum of money to gamble.

In the end, he was left empty-handed, with nothing left to lose.

When the people in the gambling shop saw that he couldn't produce the money, they beat and kicked him to make him pay back the money. 

Second Miss Jiang once gave him a sum of money and asked him to seduce Miss Jiang. As long as he can fall in Miss Jiang's eyes, he can enjoy the glory and wealth as the son-in-law of the Marquis family.

This was a business that guaranteed profits without losing money. He agreed on the spot and followed the second lady's instructions to please Jiang Ning.

The second young lady will definitely give him money...

He was at the end of his rope.

If the money is not paid before tomorrow morning, he will definitely be beaten to death by those in the gambling shop.

Xu Yuanqing's eyes were bloodshot and he stared at the back door of the Marquis Mansion. If the second lady refused to save him, he would go all out to expose the whole thing.

Jiang Mengyue frowned, listening to Bing Lan's words, she was extremely disgusted with Xu Yuanqing.

"How greedy!"

If no money is given, Xu Yuanqing in his crazy state may really reveal the matter.

Although there is no evidence, it is still bad for her reputation.

She is now the fake daughter of the Marquis family. She can't do whatever she wants like before, at least she can't let her mother know about it. 

Jiang Mengyue bit her lower lip, and finally frowned and said, "Give him two hundred taels and tell him this is the last time."

"If he dares to push it further, he will definitely regret it!"

"Yes." Bing Lan responded, took out two hundred taels from the box, put it into her purse, and walked out quickly.

When walking out of the yard, she glanced around to make sure no one was there before walking towards the back door.

Xu Yuanqing's affairs must not be known to others.

As Bing Lan walked quickly through the corridor, a pair of cold eyes stared at her, almost since she walked out of Jiang Mengyue's room.

Bing Lan walked in a hurry. The night was falling and the path was so dark that she couldn't see clearly.

She clutched her purse in her hand and looked anxious, wanting to send Xu Yuanqing away as soon as possible.

At this moment, her knee suddenly hurt.

"Ouch!" She exclaimed, fell hard, and the purse she held in her hand flew out.

"Hiss—" Bing Lan gasped and stood up. She didn't know what happened but suddenly felt a stinging pain in her knee as if she had been hit by something.  "The purse!"

The purse containing the silver fell!

She ignored the pain in her knees and immediately looked down at the ground.

"Did you drop this?" At this time, a cold voice came, and at some point, a thin woman's figure stood in front of her.

Bing Lan looked up and saw the purse in the thin woman's hand. She quickly walked over and said, "Yes, I dropped it!"

"Which courtyard are you from? I don't think I've seen her before..." Bing Lan looked at the woman in front of her and had no impression at all.

Shuang Yue said quietly, "I am from Ning'an Courtyard and I just entered the house today."

"Oh." Binglan responded without paying too much attention. She still had things to do, so she had to get rid of Xu Yuanqing quickly.

Bing Lan didn't waste any time and left in a hurry.

Shuang Yue stared at Bing Lan's back. After a while, she calmly withdrew her gaze and returned to Ning'an Courtyard.

"Miss, the matter has been settled." Shuang Yue said calmly, her voice slightly cold.

Jiang Ning was already used to Shuang Yue's icy appearance, and it had to be said that the secret guards trained by Chu Yunli were very powerful, they did everything without leaking, and they did it without anyone noticing.

I just couldn't figure out what Chu Yunli was thinking about giving her the secret guard he had worked so hard to train.

"You did a good job." Jiang Ning nodded in praise.

As long as Shuang Yue doesn't betray her or do anything to murder people around her, she doesn't mind Shuang Yue staying here.

Back door.

With a creak, Bing Lan opened the door a crack.

Xu Yuanqing immediately stepped forward and looked at her expectantly.

Bing Lan threw her purse in disgust, "Here are the two hundred taels you want!"

Xu Yuanqing hurriedly caught it with both hands and weighed it. The purse was heavy and there should be two hundred taels in it. 

Bing Lan rolled her eyes and said coldly, "My lady said this is the last time."

"Don't worry, don't worry, I, Xu Yuanqing, will never be a greedy person." He clutched his wallet, feeling pleased with himself.

Soon he will marry Jiang Ning as his wife. Then he will be the son-in-law of the Marquis and enjoy endless glory and wealth. Hey, is there any need to reach out and ask for money?

"Go, quickly!" Bing Lan slammed the back door.

Xu Yuanqing turned around and left, opening his wallet and counting the money as he walked.

Halfway through the count, he discovered that in addition to the two hundred taels, there was an earring in the purse. The earring was inlaid with purple pearls, which looked very precious and exquisite.

Xu Yuanqing picked up the earrings with some confusion, "What is this?"
