No one cared about old friendships to help, but there were many people who made things worse. The Mo family had no place to live, and sadly left the Jinbo Mansion. The servants in the mansion also dispersed in a rush. In the end, the Wan Guan family's wealth was so low that they even hired a carriage.
Unable to afford it, Mo Zifeng first hanged his married wife to death in the Miluo River, and then jumped into the river with Mo Qing, who was still a child, to commit suicide. It was so pitiful that Xiao Qing was rescued by a fisherman. If he was a good family, he could not afford it.
She shouldn't have been doomed, but unexpectedly, this fisherman was also a gambler. He wasn't a bad person, but he was addicted to gambling. He gambled away everything he could, and finally sold Xiaoqing to a human trafficker.
, exchanged five pieces of silver, and then Xiaoqing wandered around and suffered all kinds of hardships in the world. It was already five or six years later when the old man redeemed her body. Your Majesty, think about how much suffering such a young child has endured.
ah."
Li Luo didn't answer. Madam Ru said that it was indeed true, but she only said one of them, or she only knew one of them. The Mo family was very popular in Jinbo Mansion at that time, and it was a big deal to be able to send tributes to the inner garden of the palace.
Even the prefects of the prefecture would not dare to despise the glory of the imperial family, but Li Luo knew that if they relied solely on these tributes, the Mohist family would definitely not be able to become the home of Dingshi. The Ministry of Internal Affairs had always deducted the tributes at every level when purchasing tributes, and not much was left in the hands of the merchants.
You can have a good reputation, but if you really abide by the law, you will just be a wealthy family. And the Mo family was almost unscrupulous in Jinbo Mansion back then, so this family has another source of wealth, otherwise it would not be gone after the family was ruined.
If someone helps, even if the world is bleak, there may not even be a chance of survival. If Madam didn't say it, Li Luo didn't mention the incident of the Mo family. This old case was recorded in the Privy Council. In addition to the creditor's tactics and orders,
It's hard to tell whether it's a crime or not. One is willing to hit, the other is willing to suffer. The big tree attracts the wind. Mo Zifeng back then was actually too arrogant. Everything must be reversed at the extreme, and he ended up like this.
"Miss Mo Qing is practicing gambling hard just to avenge the Mo family?"
"Yes, this is also her obsession."
"What's her stake?"
"What?" Mrs. Ru didn't understand what Li Luo meant. Li Luo stopped, looked at Mrs. Ru and said harmoniously: "Since Miss Mo Qing wants to learn gambling skills to avenge the Mo family, she should know what happened in Zhuocheng back then.
Who is the person behind the bet? If she wants to bet, she must put up a bet that the person likes. Otherwise, no matter how good Miss Mo Qing's gambling skills are, no one will accept the bet, so what will happen to the Mo family's hatred?
Can I repay it?"
"Although Su Xiaolou is a small courtyard, it still has some extra money."
Li Luo shook his head and said, "Money may not work."
"Su Xiaolou also has some rare treasures."
"Maybe it's feasible, but if that person's family is not weak and powerful, he can just find a way to get whatever rare treasures he wants. He may not necessarily accept this bet."
Madam Ru thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Su Xiaolou also has lightning protection clothes."
Li Luo smiled softly, shook his head and said: "If Miss Mo Qing takes out the lightning protection jacket, he will not dare to gamble anymore. If he loses, he loses, and if he wins, he loses. A lightning protection jacket might even get him into trouble."
Disaster."
Madam Ru's eyes narrowed slightly and she said, "Does the prince know the whole story of that gambling game?"
"Know something." Li Luo didn't hide anything, he spoke frankly.
"Then, in your opinion, what can be the stake in this gamble?"
Li Luo looked at Madam Ru and said calmly: "Madam has already known about this bet, why bother asking me."
"No!" Mrs. Ru shouted, her breath was short, her chest was rising and falling, and she turned to look deep into the mulberry forest.
Is there any better bet in the world than Mo Qing?
"Madam Su Xiaolou's silk threads are all over the world. If you want to take revenge, you can use other methods. Why should Miss Mo Qing be obsessed with the word gambling? It was a mistake in the first place. Then use a wrong method to reverse the events of the past.
One wrong thing will only lead to more mistakes, isn't Miss Mo Qing afraid that she won't be able to look back?"
"I also tried to persuade her like this, but she didn't listen. Moreover, the gambling game that year was not entirely someone else's fault. Xiaoqing's biological father was also at fault. If he hadn't been greedy and addicted to gambling, he wouldn't have ended up with his family ruined. So
The Mo family lost because of gambling, Xiaoqing has to win back from gambling. This kid, hey, is in too deep."
"Madam, I don't know what your purpose is when you tell me this. Do you want me to help the Mo family take revenge?"
"If it were the prince, would this be difficult?"
"It's not difficult." Li Luo replied calmly.
Just like the lady sighed, some people plan hard to do something that they cannot achieve in half their lives, but in the eyes of others, it is effortless.
"Xiaoqing is not even willing to borrow Su Xiaolou's hand, let alone the prince. I am telling the prince this just to ask for his help and let Mr. Shang persuade Xiaoqing. Now, she can only listen to Mr. Shang.
That’s it for the young master.” After finishing her words, Mrs. Ru paused slightly and continued, “I have nothing to repay, so I can use the whereabouts of a person in exchange for the prince’s help.”
"Whose whereabouts are there?" Li Luo's heart tightened slightly, and it was finally time for the truth to come to light.
"Back then, the courtesan's soft moonlight appeared on the Spring River under the moonlight."
Li Luo raised his eyebrows. It was Rouyue, not Cangyang Jiahe or Guliang Lei, which was beyond Li Luo's expectation.
"If the Caohai Allied Forces had gone south to fight against Dagan across the river, Su Xiaolou would have been in trouble. Perhaps I would have been able to avenge the Mo family just by myself. Who would have thought that Caohai would actually negotiate peace with Dagan in the end? I never knew that.
Before it was reached, all the plans came to nothing, which is sad and lamentable."
Li Luo looked at this old woman who didn't look old. He didn't know whether he hated or respected her. He hated her because she was a collaborator with the enemy, but respected her because she had run Su Xiaolou and even Bozhu Mansion and had indeed done a lot of good things. Su Xiaolou had done a lot of good things.
Lou collaborated with the enemy, and most of the secret reports he sent to Caohai were innocuous and did not shake the foundation of Dagan. In fact, the methods of those talented women in Su Xiaolou made some people heartbroken. Moreover, the Privy Council could tolerate Su Xiaolou.
The reason is that Yang Liuyan spread a lot of true and false news to Caohai through Su Xiaolou, some of which are to confuse people, and some of which are simply traps. Therefore, although Su Xiaolou collaborates with the enemy, it is also a double-edged sword that can hurt people.
If you hurt yourself, it depends on whose method is wise.
After meeting Mrs. Ru this time, Li Luo vaguely guessed that the shopkeeper of Su Xiaolou had most likely known that some of the information sent out was false, and it came from the Privy Council and Mu Tianlang. Even so, Su Xiaolou
It is still the same as before to send what should be sent and to pass on what should be passed on. If it was a year ago, Li Luo would only have thought that Su Xiaolou was trying to fish in the troubled waters between Caohai and Dagan, but now, Li Luo suspected that Su Xiaolou was behind the scenes.
