Tang Yuan gave a loud sigh. "In the beginning, I was actually winning. I won up to a total of fifty thousand..."
"If they do not let you win, would you continue gambling? Wait a minute, why are you so anxious? A mere hundred and fifty thousand silver liangs is not something your Tang family cannot part with. Was there any need to come here yelling save me?" Jun Mo Xie smiled at his friend.
"I... I know. But after I lost all my money, I told them that I would go home to get more. It was then that Li Bo incited me, saying that everyone was already tired and that they would go away if I were not there. I became reckless, and..." Tang Yuan looked at his friend with a pitiful expression, his face filled with regret.
"And what?" Jun Moxie suddenly had a sense of foreboding.
"One can lose men, but not lose formation... I became impulsive and... pawned my accompaniment jade and precious sword, pawned for a total of three hundred thousand silver liangs. I thought that I would be able to win them all back quickly. I did not expect... I did not expect... I lost it all," Tang Yuan's face was distressed as he hesitantly spoke.
"You dare say lose men but not formation?! I can still remember that your father spent a huge fortune to buy that famed Snow Bluster Sword for you! That terrifyingly divine weapon can cut iron like cutting mud! And that accompaniment jade of yours was made from Warm Jade! Back then, these two treasures used up at least one million liangs to get, right? And yet you pawned both of them for only three hundred thousand? Even in bargain sales, there won't be such a sale!" Jun Mo Xie was left speechless.
"I'm not someone who does not have rules, you know? It's just that, back then my mind suddenly became numb! I don't even know how to explain it, my mind just became a messy paste of confusion..." Tang Yuan grumbled again.
"But even if you did lose these two, you still have the pledge note. You can just go redeem it later on. Considering how much your father loves you, at most he will just rebuke you with some words, why would he kill you? Besides, what else does your family have if not money? Around one million worth of silvers, is this really a serious problem for someone like you?" Jun Mo Xie grunted and shrugged his shoulders.
"Nonsense, these two items are absolute treasures! How can I not want to win them back on the spot?" Tang Yuan replied indignantly. "It is not like you do not know the rules of my grandpa. Last time you saw for yourself what I had to endure... that kind of beating can tear off one layer of skin!"
"So, you continued gambling? What did you pawn this time? I know you have a lot of good stuff, but I am sure you don't have anyone worth up to around one million liangs!" Jason might not be a hardcore gambler but he understood the psychology of gambling perfectly.
He easily understood through the expression of the Fatty that he had done something that he shouldn't have.
'This fatty would not be so anxious unless he had gambled away something he should absolutely not gamble with.'
"Yes, back then I really did not have anything valuable on me. In the end... in the end... I... I... I went ahead and pawned my wife..." Tang Yuan's face was again distressed. It was a face filled with despair and the desire to kill himself.
"I have yet to have a wedding with her." He mumbled at the end.
"Ah?" The maids behind Jun Mo Xie gasped in shock, covering their mouths. They couldn't believe such a man was friends with their master. It didn't matter how much of an evil person their master was but he would never, absolutely not, would ever put them on any sort of gamble, and yet this Fatty in front of them...
They had the urge to stomp this brat to death!
"What? You pawned off your wife? You actually pulled your wife into this mess?" Jun Mo Xie nearly fell off from his chair and almost fainted on the spot.
This was too shocking!
Simply unthinkable!
Fatty's fiance was not only his wife, she was the daughter of Sun Cheng He, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice!
If this news were to spread out, then the amount of ridicule and laughter would be considerable.
If this news were to spread, Grandpa Tang would pump out all the fat and oil in this fatty's body to be used as fuel for Sky Lantern!
"I... I did not drag her there..." Tang Yuan was at the point of crying out. "But I signed a promissory note, using her as a mortgage for one million liangs... it was written in black and white, here and there... was my signature..."
"You!... You..." Jun Mo Xie wanted to scold him but found that no word could actually describe just how shocked and angry he was at that moment. He could only speak one sentence at the end.
"And you lost that one million liangs, right?"
"Y-Yeah..." Tang Yuan fell with his buttocks on the ground, causing the ground to tremble, and started bawling and wailing. "They said that if I don't bring over one million and five hundred thousand liangs within three hours' time, then they have no need for the money anymore, they also do not want her, they will make this promissory note public..."
"My God!" Jun Mo Xie was speechless again. He sighed and rubbed his temple before asking. "How did it become one million and five hundred thousand liangs? Isn't it supposed to be only one million liangs?"
"That... that was the price for the three hours..." Tang Yuan sniveled. "Third Young Master, you must save me! I... I have nowhere to go!"
"You want me to save you, how am I supposed to save you? What makes you think I have that much money?" Jun Mo Xie flatly refused. Even if he could take out that money, he would never lend it to such an idiot.
"You do not need any money!" Tang Yuan's spirit immediately lifted, and his small eyes blinked. "Li Feng and Meng Hai Zhou made a condition, saying that since Third Young Master Jun had not visited in a while, they would return the promissory note to me as long as I could bring you over to gamble with them a few rounds."
