After filling their bellies with food and drink, Jiang Rong got up belching, and then placed a hand on Jiang Youzhi’s shoulder with a sleazy smile, "I say, nephew, we’ve eaten and drunk, so next, shouldn’t the two of us go find so fun?"
"You’ve been here for quite a while, you surely know which building has the pretty girls, wherever the girls are pretty, that’s where we’ll go!"
Jiang Youzhi removed Jiang Rong’s hand and said calmly, "Second Uncle, why the rush? I haven’t given you the silver yet."
Jiang Rong quickly extended his hand, "Hand it over, hand it over. Let’s be clear, I’ll give you the silver, but I won’t pay for the girls later."
Jiang Youzhi took out two silver notes from his pocket, and as Jiang Rong reached out to grab them, Jiang Youzhi pulled his hand away, "Here are two silver notes each worth a hundred taels, bring out the IOU first."
Jiang Rong reluctantly took out the IOU, dragging his feet.
Jiang Youzhi took the IOU, checked it, and then handed the silver notes to Jiang Rong.
Jiang Rong carefully stashed the silver notes, then smiled, "Which establishnt shall we visit? When I arrived earlier, I saw a place called Chunxiang Building that seed pretty good."
Jiang Youzhi replied unhurriedly, "Those places have nothing interesting. I’ll take you sowhere more exciting."
He led Jiang Rong out.
By then, it was almost dark.
Most shops on both sides of the street had closed.
Jiang Youzhi led Jiang Rong through a few streets until they arrived at a place that looked like a residential courtyard.
The courtyard gate was open, with two n standing by. Jiang Youzhi pulled Jiang Rong inside.
They crossed through the courtyard, facing three large houses where lights blazed inside, filled with various shouts and noises, bustling with activity.
This was a casino Jiang Youzhi had visited before.
That night, he had won over five thousand taels of silver, and had it not been for Ah Hu protecting him while they fought their way out, he would have had trouble escaping.
As soon as they entered, Jiang Rong, without needing an invitation, eagerly dove in with shining eyes.
He had always had a penchant for gambling.
Only he didn’t have much silver to spare; whenever he had money, he would play a few rounds.
Last ti, he stole silver from his father and lost it all within a few days.
Now, how could he resist?
Standing in the shadows of the lights, Jiang Youzhi quietly watched Jiang Rong for a while before leaving without looking back.
Bringing Jiang Rong here was ant to teach him a lesson.
The silver Jiang Rong had would probably be lost soon.
Once he loses it all, surely he would claim Renxin Hall’s na to borrow more silver.
And the casino would surely lend.
By tomorrow, after Jiang Rong loses all the borrowed silver, the casino would press him to go to Renxin Hall to demand silver.
Of course, no one at Renxin Hall would give him any silver.
Then the casino would quickly realize Prince Kang is backing Renxin Hall, so they wouldn’t dare do anything, and Jiang Rong’s fate then goes without saying.
Consider it light if they break one of his legs.
The most likely outco is both legs being broken and him being thrown out.
Casinos only seek money, not lives.
At that ti, Jiang Youzhi planned to do a good deed and hire a carriage to send him back to Chunlin County.
Leaving the casino, Jiang Youzhi felt no burden at all.
He wasn’t without having given Jiang Rong a chance; he repeatedly persuaded him to take the silver and go back to the countryside to live well, but he wouldn’t listen, and there was nothing he could do.
Given his current family status, he didn’t need to fear Jiang Rong anymore.
However, he didn’t like the Jiang Family bothering Jiao Jiao and his mother at Renxin Hall, so once Jiang Rong broke his leg, perhaps the Jiang Family would settle down.
