Do you dare to order him to do things?

Mu Jingrui's frown deepened.

Shangguan Wan Ning began to feel unsure. She and Mu Jingrui had not discussed it in advance. If he walked away at this time, it would be difficult for her to end it.

"Haha, take me down? Do you know who I am? I...ah!"

Before Zhao Xu finished speaking, Mu Jingrui swayed, picked up the back of his neck with one hand, and pushed him down on the table.

The incident here attracted the attention of the thugs, who quickly gathered around.

After all, Zhao Xu was a regular customer. The thugs swarmed up and tried to save him, but were beaten to a pulp by Mu Jingrui.

Shangguan Wan Ning sat in her original position and remained motionless from beginning to end.

There was already a wailing underfoot.

Zhao Xu finally got scared, swallowed his saliva, and asked, "What do you want?"

"I said, I'll pay for this game of chess."

Zhao Xu took out a one hundred tael silver note from his arms and slapped it on the table. "Is it enough?"

Shangguan Wan Ning showed an unpredictable smile, shook her head and said: "The chess game is ever-changing, how can we use secular methods to compensate? I don't want banknotes, as long as you cover the chess game with copper plates."

The people watching around made whispers and discussions.

"Is this person stupid? He only wants copper coins?"

"That's right, he even dares to beat up the son of the Minister of Household Affairs. It's obvious that he's not very smart."

Shangguan Wanning didn't care what others thought, she picked up the chess game and put it on the table again. She took out a copper plate and placed it on one of the squares.

"You see clearly. Place a copper plate in the first grid, the second grid is twice the size of the first grid, the third grid is twice the size of the second grid, and so on."

When Zhao Xu saw that they were playing chess, he rolled up his sleeves and felt confident.

"Come on, who's afraid of whom?" Zhao Xu tossed the banknote and said, "Go and change it to copper coins."

Everyone gathered around curiously.

Shangguan Wan Ning took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention and quietly gave the woman in purple a hundred taels of silver and whispered a few words in her ear.

The woman in purple quietly disappeared into the crowd.

Not long after, the copper coins were exchanged. Zhao Xu originally thought it was a simple matter, but when the loss reached the fifteenth square, he already started to break out in a cold sweat.

Because when it reached the fifteenth square, converted from copper coins to silver taels, it actually reached 16,384 taels.

"My... Young Master, I can no longer exchange for copper coins..." The attendant came over to report.

When everyone saw the mountains of copper coins, they couldn't help but marvel.

"If the copper plates are gone, let's use silver notes instead." Shangguan Wan Ning raised her eyebrows and showed a proud smile.

"Then...the sixteenth square...thirty-two thousand, seven hundred and sixty-eight taels..."

Zhao Xu trembled all over when he heard this.

"Sir, we don't have enough money..."

When Zhao Xu heard this, he slapped his follower on the face, his face so dark that he could squeeze water out of it.

"How is it? Do you want to continue to pay?" Shangguan Wan Ning's smile faded and turned into a grin. Zhao Xu, there are seventy-two squares on the chessboard, and now it is only sixteen squares. Even if you bet all the property of the Zhao family,

, you can’t afford to pay.”

"You...you..." Zhao Xu was so angry at Shangguan Wanning that he couldn't even utter a complete sentence. "What exactly do you want?"

"There are two ways. First, pay for the money. If you can't come up with it, go to your father. If your father can't come up with it, then I'll go to the Minister of Hubu or the Minister of Dali Temple..."

"What's the second way?" Zhao Xu actually wanted to slap the sissy in front of him to death, but the frosty follower next to him was too powerful and couldn't be beaten at all.

"The second way..." Shangguan Wanning looked Zhao Xu up and down, "I have also heard of Mr. Zhao's name. Many good girls have been raped by you. I want you to take off your clothes and go to Yingchun Tower.

Stand at the door all night as a sign of repentance.”

Zhao Xu couldn't help but gasp after hearing this.

This request could literally kill him.

He went crazy and overturned the table, pointed at Shangguan Wan Ning and said viciously: "Whoever helps me beat him to death, I will give my more than 10,000 taels of silver to him."

Shangguan Wan Ning also expected that Zhao Xu would not submit so easily.

Her eyes turned cold, she put away the folding fan, and her voice became sinister. "Zhao, since you don't drink wine as a penalty, don't blame me for being rude."

Shangguan Wan Ning glanced at Mu Jingrui. Mu Jingrui understood, jumped up, and was in front of Zhao Xu in a flash.

"Close your eyes."

When he unsheathed his long sword, he did not forget to warn Shangguan Wan Ning. Several rays of sword light flashed by, and Zhao Xu's clothes had turned into pieces.

The onlookers burst into laughter, and Zhao Xu wished he could find a hole in the ground to crawl in.

Mu Jingrui picked up his belt, tied his hands, and hung him at the door of Yingchun Building.

"Whoever dares to let him down will suffer the same fate as him."

Mu Jingrui looked more domineering and cold than Shangguan Wan Ning, and everyone who saw him consciously gave way.

Seeing that the matter had come to this, the landlady did not dare to blatantly offend these two unfamiliar people, so she could only secretly send someone to inform the Minister of Household Affairs.

"Hey, when will the bidding for courtesans start? Are we all waiting for Miss Ruyi?"

The urging made the landlady have no choice but to clean up the mess on the second floor, and immediately asked the singers to perform a song and dance to lighten the atmosphere, and then the bidding began.

"Why did you call me here?" Mu Jingrui looked at Shangguan Wan Ning seriously.

Shangguan Wan Ning has been living in a boudoir all year round, and she is actually full of curiosity about everything in front of her.

She looked at Mu Jingrui, blinked, and said with a smile, "How about I buy Miss Ruyi and give it to you?"

A cold light flashed in Mu Jingrui's eyes, and Shangguan Wanning felt the sudden change in temperature.

"Miss Shangguan is so kind to me. Not only does she let me go free, but she also wants to help me start a family. Are you afraid that I will continue to pester you?"

"Of course not, I mean..."

"Three thousand taels is the second time. Is it still higher than three thousand taels?"

"Five thousand taels!" Shangguan Wan Ning was determined to win, and the high price she offered aroused a sigh of relief.

Mu Jingrui stopped talking. He wanted to see what Shangguan Wan Ning was playing.

"If no one is worth more than five thousand taels, then Miss Ruyi will belong to this young master tonight."

I don't know if the price was too high or because those people were jealous of Mu Jingrui, but no one bid again.

The waiter took Shangguan Wan Ning and Mu Jingrui to another room and said respectfully, "Wait a moment, Miss Ruyi will be here soon."

The waiter left, and only Shangguan Wan Ning and Mu Jingrui were left in the room. The smell of incense made people a little confused, and the atmosphere became a little ambiguous.

"Have you ever been to a brothel before?"
