In the last round, Lin Xiaoyue was the banker and they won.

Counting the thirty-five points he had obtained, Prince Anyang looked depressed.

Liang Yu was in a bad mood.

Losing 500 taels of silver was a small matter. After persisting for so long and losing the last round, the sense of defeat brought about was a big deal.

“Hehe, Young Master Liang, thank you!” Xiao Yang looked at Liang Yu smugly, almost reaching out to ask him for money.

When playing cards, it was normal to taunt each other.

He didn’t dare to taunt Prince Anyang, but he had taunted Liang Yu many times.

Liang Yu was still calm at first, as if he did not want to stoop to his level.

In the end, not long after, they started arguing with each other.

Now, he was quite close with Liang Yu.

When Prince Anyang saw him arguing with Liang Yu, he interjected from time to time.

In fact, Xiao Yang was not even that afraid of Prince Anyang now.

“Humph! Count yourself lucky!” Liang Yu looked at Xiao Yang angrily.

Then, he took out a banknote from his pocket.

“I admit defeat!” Then, he slapped it in front of Xiao Yang.

Xiao Yang’s eyes lit up and he quickly picked up the silver notes.

He cupped his hands and had an expression that said, “I’m not dreaming, am

I?”

Lin Xiaoyue couldn’t help but laugh.

Prince Anyang sighed and took out 500 taels of silver and gave it to Lin Xiaoyue.

“It’s still early. Why don’t we play another round?” He said.

Liang Yu, who was about to get up, immediately sat up straight and looked at Lin Xiaoyue.

This feeling of being one step away from victory was too unbearable. He also wanted to turn the tables.

Xiao Yang also looked at Lin Xiaoyue, then looked at the silver notes in his hand reluctantly.

He wanted to play but he was also afraid of losing.

500 taels of silver? Although they were banknotes, they still felt heavy in his hands.

He was prepared to save this money for his future wife.

He couldn’t bear to…

Lin Xiaoyue looked at Xiao Yang’s expression and couldn’t help but laugh. “There’s no point in just playing this. Why don’t we play a new game?” She continued.

“There is another game?” Prince Anyang was very interested.

Liang Yu also looked at Lin Xiaoyue in surprise.

“Of course. There are many games we can play.” Lin Xiaoyue smiled.

Then, she told everyone how to play games like Fight the Landlord and Run

Fast, Golden Flowers, Bullfighting, and so on, completely opening everyone’s eyes.

Considering that there were many people, Lin Xiaoyue suggested playing Golden Flowers for the sake of excitement.

After Prince Anyang and Liang Yu agreed, Lin Xiaoyue thought for a moment and said, “the more people there are, the more fun it is. How about this, we’ll go and call some more people over.”

“If Your Highness’ guards are interested, you can let them partic.i.p.ate as well.”

Prince Anyang was stunned.

He looked at the guards outside the door and hesitated.

Then, he looked at the poker cards on the table and agreed.

Then, he called two of the guards in.

Lin Xiaoyue smiled. “Your Highness, please wait a moment. We’ll go and call some more people over. I’ll also get some copper and silver coins.

Then, Lin Xiaoyue left with Li Xiao.

Not long after, Lin Xiaoyue returned.

When he came back, he was carrying a money box in his hand, and it was obvious that it was not light.

Then, Li Xiao returned.

There were also three people behind him. They were Liu s.h.i.+, Zhao Shanshan, and Fan Teng.

After the three of them bowed to Prince Anyang and sat down.

Seeing that Liu s.h.i.+ also wanted to partic.i.p.ate in the game of cards, the smile on Prince Anyang’s face widened.

He chatted with Liu s.h.i.+.

Liu s.h.i.+ was a little shy, but with her daughter by her side, she felt at ease and gradually became less afraid.

Soon, Lin Xiaoyue moved the money box over and exchanged it for silver and copper coins.

Then, she explained to everyone how to play Golden Flower.

It was simple. The person who won the card might not necessarily have the biggest card, but it could also be the one who was bravest.

Most of the time, it was a gamble of courage and winning by deceiving.

After playing a few rounds, some people had mastered the trick.

Prince Anyang was the one who lied the most. It could be said that people with more money were bold.

Liang Yu and Lin Xiaoyue lied a lot too, but they didn’t have his poker face.

Prince Anyang had become the most wealthy person at the table.

The rest of the people, including Li Xiao, were playing their cards honestly.

He would throw the small cards and play the big cards.

In the beginning, everyone was rather reserved..
