Realizing that the fish had been hooked, Qi Qingyao turned to Ma Sanye and spoke as if nothing out of the ordinary happened.

"Village head, could you lend me a dice and a dice cup?"

Ma Sanye was not a gambling man so he did not have a dice cup at home. Just as he was about to go and borrow a set of dice and a dice cup from someone else, Zhang Tieyuan said excitedly, "You don't have to lend her yours. I have one at home. Wait a moment, I'll bring it over right away.

Saying this, he then quickly ran back home.

The group of people at Ma Sanye's home were left looking at each other blankly and a little speechless.

The people of Linquan Village knew Old Man Zhang loved nothing more than to gamble with others. He especially liked to go to the casino in town and gamble a few rounds. Sometimes luck would smile on him and he would win some. However, it was more common for him to lose more than he won.

Sitting at one side, Ma Sanye reminded Qi Qingyao, "Eleventh Daughter, gambling isn't a good habit."

Qi Qingyao smiled sincerely. "I've never gambled before and I just feel like trying it out."

"Mommy~!" Dabao also felt that gambling was not a good thing and wanted to admonish his mommy. Matron Ma came out of the kitchen and motioned for her son to serve the food. At the same time, she called out to the three children, "Come and eat first, children."

"Thank you, Madam." Qi Qingyao expressed her gratitude to Matron Ma. She then urged her three children immediately, "Go ahead and have dinner with Madam first. I'll come and eat once I'm done with work."

The three little children were momentarily reluctant to part from her, but they gave in to their hunger and ran to the side to take their meals.

However, Qi Qingyao was puzzled when she saw that Si Jin and Jiang Yeqian were still unmoving.

"Are you two not going to eat?"

"I want to stay here with you, sister!" Si Jin smiled brightly and sweetly.

Expressionless, Jiang Yeqian answered, "I wish to observe your gambling skills and see how good you are."

Qi Qingyao modestly said, "There's nothing to see. I've never gambled before. It's my first time so my skill level will definitely be poor."

She used to work as an informant at the Pujing Casino in Macau for three months. At the same time, she was also a dealer.

However, it was her first time gambling here.

So, she was technically not lying.

Zhang Tieyuan had brought the dice and the dice cup over excitedly.

"I've brought the dice cup and three dies. Who's up for the first round?"

"I'll go first." Qi Qingyao said, offering herself up.

As this was just a small game of gambling, everyone watched them from the side relaxedly. They wanted to see if Qi Qingyao would lose two taels of silver to Old Man Zhang or if Old Man Zhang would lose his daughter just because of two taels of silver. However, everyone was thinking to themselves that Qi Qingyao must surely be just joking and would not actually want the other's daughter.

Qi Qingyao grabbed the cup and shook it effortlessly before calmly placing it down.

She did not open the cup.

Instead, she motioned for Zhang Tieyuan to open it.

Zhang Tieyuan was eager but also nervous. Gulping, he endured his wildly beating heart and opened the dice cup.

The moment the cup was opened, his expression changed from one of panic to unrestrained glee.

"One, two, three, six-points on the low!"

Zhang Tieyuan was so excited, he jumped up on the spot and exclaimed, "Hahahaha! It's my win for sure."

The surrounding people also looked on dumbfoundedly.

They could not help their mumbling.

"Isn't that too small?"

"It's her loss, it's her loss for sure!"

"She's definitely going to lose."

"Old Man Zhang could not possibly get an even lower score."

"What if it's a tie?"

"The probability is low."

…

Everyone was discussing how low Qi Qingyao's points were.

Only Jiang Yeqian, who had been looking at the woman's smiling face from the start, knew from the lack of a single trace of change in her expression that she had the situation in control.

She had been deliberate with the low sum of six.

Hold on.

Could she control the points?

That should not be possible.

Not many people could do this.

Not even he could do it…
