Cao Jingxiu brought Liu Shu back to the Cao family.

He was really good to his younger brother Liu Shu and arranged the best yard for Liu Shu with the best furniture.

Liu Shu was given enough servants and maids.

However, Liu Shu refused and only left a servant and two maids with him.

He is not used to having too many people around him.

Cao Jingxiu brought Liu Shu into the palace to meet Queen Cao.

Queen Cao was a dignified beauty, very gentle, but soft on the outside and strong on the inside, with her own opinions.

She was the second empress of Emperor Renzong of Song and was highly respected by him, but there was no romantic relationship between them.

Song Renzong had a favorite concubine, and he would only come to Queen Cao on the first and fifteenth day of every month.

Empress Cao had no complaints and helped Song Renzong to manage the harem well.

Liu Shu behaved very well, and Queen Cao was very satisfied and liked him even more.

In order to give face to the empress, Renzong met his newly found brother-in-law and had a good impression of Liu Shu, so he conferred a title on Liu Shu.

Although his title was not of high rank, Liu Shu was still considered a person of status.

Cao Jingxiu held a banquet and invited all the important people in the capital to his home and introduced Liu Shu to everyone.

Many people smiled at Liu Shu on the surface, but in their eyes they looked down on this country boy.

Someone had bad intentions, and came up to Liu Shu with a smile, explaining to Liu Shu the prosperity of the capital, the theaters, gambling houses, brothels, and brothels...

Liu Shu listened with a smile, and when those people invited him to go to the gambling house and the brothel, Liu Shu agreed immediately.

If it were the original Cao Jingqian, he would definitely be led astray by these people.

But who can blame Cao Jingqian for being Liu Shu now?
Those people's plans are going to fail.

After seeing off all the guests, Cao Jingxiu explained to Liu Shu what was going on in the aristocratic circles in the capital.

"Many people want to pull you down from the position of queen, but you are dignified and polite, and you have done nothing wrong. Since they can't deal with you, they set their sights on you and me."

"Those people surrounding you today are not good people. You have to be careful not to fall into their trap."

Cao Jingxiu gave him careful warnings.

Liu Shu nodded: "Don't worry, second brother, I know."

Cao Jingxiu is actually the second in the Cao family, and he has an older brother.

Brother Cao does not have the same mother as Cao Jingxiu and Liu Shu. He is the eldest son of a concubine. He has now separated from Cao Jingxiu and is working in another place.

While dealing with Cao Jingxiu in this way, the next day, Liu Shu followed those guys with evil intentions to the gambling house.

The three people were named Fang Jianian, Ye Ruiyang, and Zhang Qiyu. Someone from their family entered the palace and became the emperor's concubines.

Fang Jianian asked Liu Shu: "Do you have enough money?"

Liu Shu took out his bulging purse and tossed it up and down: "Don't worry, I brought thousands of taels of silver notes."

The three people looked at the purse jealously and wanted to snatch it away.

Although they were all born into wealth, their monthly pocket money was only a few dozen taels of silver. How could they have thousands of taels of silver at once? !

Isn't Cao Jingxiu too good to his brother? !
The three of them looked at each other and decided that they must make Cao Jingqian lose all the money and also make him owe a large sum of money.

In order to prevent Cao Jingqian from losing everything, they took Cao Jingqian's surname.

Liu Shu's lips curled slightly. He could see clearly what the three people were thinking.

He followed the three people to a gambling house, and Liu Shu saw Fang Jianian exchange glances with the manager of the gambling house.

Liu Shu laughed in his heart.

As a country bumpkin, he naturally "doesn't know" the various ways of playing in the casino.

The three of them enthusiastically introduced various ways of playing to Liu Shu.

Liu Shu threw down some silver and won almost all the money.

Ye Ruiyang said with a smile: "Second Young Master is very lucky today, do you want to play a little bigger?"

Liu Shu smiled and said, "Okay." He took out a silver note worth 100 taels and threw it on the table, "I bet on big."

The dealer glanced at them and rolled the dice.

"One, two, three, little one."

The dealer placed a hundred taels of silver in front of him.

Liu Shu pouted unhappily: "Humph, I don't care if I lose just once."

He threw down another banknote: "I bet on small."

"Four four five, big."

The dealer also took the silver note.

Liu Shu was furious and continued to throw down a silver note.

Naturally, they lost again this time.

Fang Jianian and the other two looked at each other and smiled behind Liu Shu, looking extremely proud.

Liu Shu seemed to be so angry that he threw all his banknotes on the gambling table: "I'm betting on the leopard."

Everyone thought that Liu Shu had lost his mind because of the defeat, which was why he made a desperate attempt to bet on Leopard.

Although the odds of the leopard are high, in this casino, the odds of the leopard are 1:50.

Liu Shu left a silver note of 700 taels. If he won, he could get 35,000 taels.

It's a huge sum of money.

But the problem is that the chances of a leopard appearing are very small.

It only appeared a few times, and it was controlled by the casino staff themselves.

Everyone looked at Liu Shu as if he were a fool and a sucker.

The purse had its mouth hooked up and was shaking the dice.

He didn't pay much attention to what was inside the dice box. He just shook out a number at random. It couldn't be a leopard anyway.

However, the results are revealed.

Everyone was stunned. It really was a leopard.

Everyone stared blankly at the dice on the table, then shifted their gaze blankly to look at Liu Shu, and everyone thought "Oh shit" in their hearts.

Liu Shu was overjoyed and rushed over, putting all the silver and money on the table into his arms.

"I win. I win."

He laughed loudly, took out three silver ingots weighing ten taels each and threw them to Fang Jianian and the other two.

"Thanks to you for bringing me here to gamble, I was able to win so much. I'm doing this as a thank you gift to you."

The three people were holding the silver ingots and were in tears. The people in the casino looked as if they wanted to skin them alive.

Although they were born into powerful families, anyone who could open a casino in the capital city must have an extremely strong background and they did not take these powerful people seriously at all.

The people in the casino took their anger out on them, and they suffered a lot afterwards.

Liu Shu didn't seem to notice the "deep hatred" of these three people. He collected all the money he earned, put his arm around Fang Jianian's shoulder and walked out of the casino, saying, "Come on, I'll treat you to a drink at the Fanlou."

Someone in the casino wanted to step forward to stop it, but was stopped by the manager's look.

Cao Jingqian is now the focus of the capital, and they cannot attack Cao Jingqian without any reason.

After all, there is no evidence that Cao Jingqian cheated.

He never touched the dice.

Could it be that this guy really has super good luck?
But, if I can’t deal with Cao Jingqian, can’t I deal with the other three?
These three people owe a lot of money in the casino, and it's time to send someone to collect the debt.

The casino manager thought grimly.

The three of Fang Jianian had a fierce cold war. (End of this chapter)
