Chapter 1076: Chapter 1076: Playing the Swindler

"How did it change from small to big just now?" Tao Hong looked at the dice cup with a puzzled expression, muttering to herself.

Little Tiger curled his lips and said in a low voice, "You people are so naive. That’s cheating, don’t you know?"

"Cheating?" Xuexue truly didn’t understand this.

Of course, in her past life, she had come to the Capital from Mo Family Village and spent most of her time in the General’s Mansion. Even after marrying into the Crown Prince’s Mansion, she rarely went out. The gambling houses were chaotic places, mixing all sorts of people, and she’d never been there. Naturally, she wouldn’t understand these things.

"The dice cup has a mechanism inside. The croupier can make it big when he wants or small when he wants. It’s all under their control. So, in most casinos, people rarely win big money."

Tao Hong looked utterly confused. "Didn’t we win a lot of money a while ago?"

Little Tiger replied, "That’s because we got lucky. Maybe they hadn’t set it up yet back then."

"Oh!" Tao Hong finally understood.

Xuexue also lowered her head and quietly asked, "So today, do we have any chance of winning?"

Little Tiger said confidently, "Don’t worry, we’ll definitely win, as long as we’re willing to bet big."

"Alright!"

Xuexue glanced at the table again. She noticed that while shaking the dice cup, the croupier occasionally looked at her, clearly aware of her presence.

After all, Xuexue had placed the largest bet earlier, naturally drawing his attention.

Little Tiger gently bumped Xuexue’s back and said loudly, "Young master, if we lose again this round, let’s stop playing here and head to the gambling house across the street. I hear the chances of winning there are better."

Xuexue understood and immediately roughened his voice, "Alright! If my luck doesn’t turn this time, we’ll leave."

"Then should we bet on big or small this time?" Holding a silver note worth one thousand taels in his hand, Xuexue looked hesitant.

Tao Hong quickly said, "Master, master, bet on big, bet on big."

Little Tiger leaned close to Xuexue’s ear and whispered, "Just place it randomly. No matter if it’s big or small this time, we’re bound to win."

Xuexue also whispered, "You’re that sure?"

"Of course. To the croupier, you’re like a big fish ripe for the catch. Do you think he’d let you go easily? He’ll definitely give you a bit of a win to reel you in for more. This is what they call ’casting a long line to catch a big fish.’"

"Oh!"

Xuexue understood, casually placing the silver note on the table with a grand, unconcerned air.

Seeing this frail and refined young gentleman making such a bold move, immediately throwing down a stack of silver notes, each worth one hundred taels, everyone couldn’t help but look at him with newfound respect.

Subtly, the crowd shuffled to the side, leaving more room for Xuexue.

This croupier was the same one Little Tiger had brought Tao Hong to see last time. He had originally been fired by the Fourth Prince. But after pestering the Fourth Prince relentlessly, claiming he had an elderly mother of eighty to support and a young child of three to raise, begging for mercy, the Fourth Prince had no choice but to give him another chance, letting him work for a trial period. He warned that if such a thing happened again, there wouldn’t be any chance for forgiveness.

In order to make a good impression on the Fourth Prince, the croupier had been working tirelessly during this trial period.

Now, he’d finally come across Xuexue, such a lucrative customer. Naturally, he wouldn’t let this opportunity slip through his fingers.

Just as Little Tiger predicted, Xuexue indeed won this round. Betting one thousand taels, it doubled to two thousand taels.

The gamblers at the table erupted in cheers when they saw this, feeling envious of Xuexue’s luck.

Little Tiger exchanged a look with Xuexue and secretly chuckled to themselves. What nonsense luck—it was all rigged, wasn’t it?
