I just got divorced, and this cold, ruthless, and powerful minister is begging for a third child eve

This was given to her by Du Bo for self-defense; it was extremely concealed and could cut through iron like mud.

With the footwork and swordsmanship taught to her by Qin Mo, she could slit the man's throat in an instant!

At that moment, Liang Jin's relieved laughter came from the stands.

"Gu Mingshuang, didn't you want this girl? If you don't want to bow down to me, that's fine. Then wait until I've had my Xueying (my mistress) with her before you come to take her away!"

"At that time, out of consideration for our friendship, I won't ask you for a single penny; I'll just send you my corpse!"

He knew Gu Mingshuang wasn't someone to be trifled with, but looking at this prickly woman, his interest grew even stronger.

Conquering a woman like this is far more interesting than dealing with those boring heiresses in Kyoto or those clingy parasites.

Just like taming an animal, you have to be ruthless to teach her a lesson and let her know how she should submit to him!

At this moment, Hu San hurriedly squeezed in from outside, walked quickly to Gu Mingshuang's side, and whispered his advice:

"Miss! There are at least dozens of thugs here, each one a carefully selected assassin by the guild master!"

"I know you're upset! But you absolutely mustn't act impulsively and get into a conflict with them! Otherwise, not only will you fail to save that girl, but you'll also get implicated!"

Gu Mingshuang glanced at the managers and thugs around her, and she knew that what Hu San said was true.

She lowered her hand, not reaching for the short sword, but the coldness in her eyes only intensified.

After a moment, she forced herself to calm down.

"Don't worry, I know where I am, I won't act impulsively and ruin things."

She then asked Hu San to keep an eye on Lingxiang.

"I'll go and have a talk with Young Master Liang."

Lingxiang looked at her young lady nervously, but when she met her lady's calm gaze, she immediately felt reassured.

At this moment, Gu Mingshuang had already turned around and quickly climbed the steps towards Liang Jin.

A look of joy appeared in Liang Jin's eyes.

Sure enough, to win over this woman, you need to use some tricks to make her submit!

The fact that he has encountered such an opportunity today is a chance given to him by God!

At this moment, Liang Jin seemed to have already imagined the scene of Gu Mingshuang bowing down in front of him and letting him do as he pleased.

A surge of excitement rushed to his chest. He gripped the wine glass in his hand and downed another glass in one gulp, raising his eyebrows triumphantly as he shouted:

"Ming Shuang, our union today is a match made in heaven! Drink this cup of wine, and you will be mine!"

"In my opinion, we don't need to worry about that lowly female slave anymore. I'll go to the brokerage and buy you a few better ones to serve you. After all, she's my woman, Liang Er's woman. We can't just buy servants like that to serve you, can we?"

Gu Mingshuang walked quickly to Liang Jin.

"Young Master Liang, if you, this wolf, lose today, what will you do?"

Liang Jin suddenly burst out laughing.

"You think I, Xueying, would lose? And to a slave girl like this? Mingshuang, you've always been clever, but today you seem to have acted foolishly!"

Gu Mingshuang pressed her hand on the table, her cold eyes fixed on Liang Jin.

"Young Master Liang, do you dare to bet? Your wolf will die on the spot in a moment!"

Liang Jin looked at Gu Mingshuang with great interest.

"Alright! If my wolf dies, I'll give you this slave girl! And what if you lose?"

Gu Mingshuang looked at Liang Jin and said, word by word:

"Then I will grant Young Master Liang's request."

Liang Jin slammed his hand on the table.

"Alright! I'll add this to my bet! Tonight, we'll have a blast!"

At this moment, outside the gambling den in the south of the city, Du Cang led Song Linyuan off the carriage.

When Song Linyuan saw this place, his expression changed drastically.

"Du Bo! Are you making fun of me? How could Ming Shuang possibly come to a place like this?"

Du Cang's face showed no trace of mockery; he merely glanced at him coldly.

"The young lady is indeed coming here to find Hu Chunniang's daughter."

Song Linyuan felt that the spot where he stepped had soiled the hem of his clothes, and frowned unhappily, saying:

"What, Hu Chunniang's daughter? Even if she's looking for someone, she shouldn't disregard her status as a woman and come to such a filthy place! Doesn't she know that for a woman living in the capital, the most important thing is her reputation?"

Du Cang said coldly:

"That Hu Chunniang was the female prisoner who was murdered by your esteemed Marquis's wife. She was just a widow who was imprisoned for accidentally injuring a wealthy young man while protecting her daughter. She had no capital offense, yet she died because of your Marquis's family!"

Song Linyuan's face stiffened; it turned out it was because of this widow's daughter.

But when he heard Du Cang openly and subtly criticizing his mother, he frowned.

"Uncle Du, my mother was also bewitched by the wicked servant. She was completely unaware of the truth. Moreover, she has already been severely punished by my grandmother and has been locked in the Buddhist hall copying scriptures."

Du Cang said irritably:

"What's the point of her copying the scriptures to pieces when the person is already dead?"

Song Linyuan couldn't help but say in a deep voice:

"Isn't the First-Rank Marquis's wife's act of atonement for the death of a female prisoner sincere enough?"

Du Cang gave Song Linyuan a deep look. He had thought that Song Linyuan was genuinely trying to atone for his sins, which was why he thought of using his status as the heir of a marquis's mansion to leave the young lady a way out.

He said coldly:

"Never mind, I'll go meet the young lady myself, so as not to offend the young master's eyes!"

Song Linyuan hurriedly tried to follow, but he saw two burly men carrying out a corpse and throwing it out.

"Dare to cause trouble here? You're asking for death!"

His face suddenly turned pale, and his legs almost gave way. He had to lean against the wall to stand up.

He really didn't know what Gu Mingshuang was thinking, why she would come to such a place to cause trouble!

He looked around, frowned, and said to Du Cang in front of him:

"Uncle Du! How can I provide support alone? I'll go back to the Marquis's residence and send a team!"

Du Cang ignored him, but felt a growing anxiety in his heart.

It's already the agreed time, why hasn't anyone come out yet?

Just then, Du Cang suddenly heard the sound of rapid hoofbeats behind him.

Song Linyuan was almost trampled by a horse's hooves as soon as he reached the alley entrance!

He fell to the ground, rolling around in pain beside the horse's hooves, and was about to scold it when he caught sight of a familiar face on the horse's back.

Suddenly, all of Song Linyuan's words caught in his throat!

He stared in astonishment at the noble-looking man before him.

"Duke Anguo? What brings you here!"

Inside the gambling den at this moment.

Upon learning that someone was betting on such a bizarre game, many wealthy young men at the scene placed bets, mostly on the wolf taking the female slave's life within three bites.

Liang Jin became increasingly excited, pointing at the stewards below and shouting:

"The time is almost up! Untie these chains for me!"

He had important business to attend to tonight and didn't want to waste too much time in the arena!

Then, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that Gu Mingshuang quickly took down the bow from the wall!
