Reborn to Become A Queen: The Real Heiress's Comeback
Chapter 336 Madam, just play. If you lose, it’s on me; if you win, it’s yours!

Chapter 336: Chapter 336 Madam, just play. If you lose, it’s on me; if you win, it’s yours!

Zhan Lan curiously looked around and asked, "Where are we going?"

Mu Yan pointed to a small door and said, "We’re here!"

He gently knocked four times on the door, which was opened from the inside by an elderly man who handed Mu Yan and Zhan Lan a fox mask each.

Zhan Lan found it amusing and put on the mask, walking inward with Mu Yan.

After passing through the alley, they entered a courtyard, and she gradually heard noisy sounds.

Upon entering, Zhan Lan discovered that this place was actually a gambling house.

Zhan Lan looked at Mu Yan, who curled his lips and said, "Aren’t you wanting some fun? Playing Pai Gow is boring, this is more thrilling!"

Unlike other gambling houses, everyone here was wearing masks of various shapes and colors, and the betting chips were substantial.

Zhan Lan saw that the minimum bets on the tables started at a hundred silver note, indicating that those who come here were probably wealthy individuals.

Mu Yan pulled out a stack of silver notes and handed them to Zhan Lan, saying, "Madam, feel free to play. If you lose, it’s on me; if you win, it’s yours!"

Zhan Lan was a bit excited, took the silver notes, and smiled like a sly little fox, "Then let’s get started!"

Zhan Lan caused a sensation all around, while Mu Yan just quietly sat in an elegant seat watching her, munching on candied fruit, with a servant attentively tending to him.

Even though Zhan Lan wore a mask, he seemed to still see the joyful expression on her face.

Zhan Lan was actually a playful girl, just like when she was a child, wanting to play despite restraining herself to practice archery. She worked hard and was incredibly diligent.

Unconsciously, his lips curled up, the little girl had grown up and had actually become his bride.

Eight years ago, he had never imagined this.

Perhaps, as the master said, their fate had already been destined by heaven.

Every time Zhan Lan won money, she would look at Mu Yan and smile proudly at him.

Under the mask, Mu Yan could only see her curved lip corners, but his heart also bloomed with joy.

When Zhan Lan lost money, Mu Yan stood up and walked over to her, whispering in her ear in a voice only the two of them could hear: "No matter how much silver notes are spent, there will be a penalty when we get home."

Zhan Lan’s cheeks turned red as she continued to fight on.

Zhan Lan played all afternoon, fully immersed without any concerns, protected by Mu Yan, she didn’t have to think about anything else, just to enjoy the game.

Since her rebirth, she had been living day and night fueled by vengeance, as if revenge was all her life amounted to. To this day, she understood some truths.

While seeking revenge, do not forget about love.

After all, being reborn was not to relive the pains of her past life; Mu Yan was the greatest compensation from heaven.

She suddenly felt a bit of regret, wondering why in her previous life she hadn’t seen the goodness in Mu Yan, and foolishly fixated on such a deceitful man.

But in her previous life, Mu Yan disliked her, so perhaps their ending would still have been the same.

From time to time, Mu Yan would offer her tea or water, occasionally popping a piece of candied fruit into her mouth.

Zhan Lan enjoyed herself thoroughly, waving a handful of silver notes at Mu Yan, her face flushed with pride.

Zhan Lan secured the silver notes, and Mu Yan held her hand as they left.

Leaving the gambling house, moonlight spilled into the alley, and the couple hand in hand looked at the shadows cast by the moonlight on the ground.

Zhan Lan joyfully stepped on Mu Yan’s shadow while Mu Yan indulgently smiled and shook his head.

Indeed, her Lan’er still housed a little girl inside, only she was good at disguising, concealing her true nature.

Zhan Lan smilingly asked, "Mu Yan, apart from candied fruit, what else do you like to eat the most?"

Mu Yan thought for a moment and answered seriously, "Eat... you."

Zhan Lan gave him a glance, and Mu Yan corrected himself, "And someone’s mushroom soup..."

Zhan Lan’s lips twitched, "Sorry, I don’t know how to cook."

She is Mu Yan’s wife, yet she can’t even cook.

Mu Yan intertwined his fingers with hers and said, "No matter, who said that a woman must stay in the kitchen and cook soup for her husband!"

Zhan Lan felt pleased, but suddenly both Mu Yan and she noticed a shadow cast from behind, and Zhan Lan grasped a dagger in her hand.

Several men in black with daggers surrounded them, staring fiercely at them. Although their faces weren’t clear in the night, their noble aura was unmistakable.

"Thinking of leaving after winning money, you two!" the leader said sinisterly.

Mu Yan moved Zhan Lan behind him, inciting the man’s excitement even more as he blatantly stared at Zhan Lan and said, "How about leaving this beautiful lady with us for fun, and we’ll forget about the lost silver?"

Before Zhan Lan could make a move, with a loud thud, the speaking man was punched to the ground by Mu Yan and couldn’t get up again.

Vermilion Bird and over twenty Hidden Guards surrounded the men. Mu Yan wiped his hands with a cloth, threw the cloth away, and coldly ordered, "Dispose of them!"

After saying this, he left with Zhan Lan.

"Yes, Master!"

The men in black were terrified to their very souls. They did not know the identity of their adversaries; they generally liked to ambush individuals winning money at the casino entrance. If these individuals refused to comply, various painful methods would be used on them.

Now, they had unexpectedly bumped into tough resistance.

It appears that these two are not ordinary people!

Wielding their daggers, they thought of resisting fiercely, but within moments, all were struck down to the ground.

Only then did the men in black feel true fear. Facing these supreme experts, they were terrified and began kneeling to beg for mercy.

"My lord, please spare us, we’re just robbers, only stealing some money!"

"Yes, hasn’t your Master also remained unharmed?"

"Let us go, it won’t happen again!"

Vermilion Bird looked at them coldly and asked, "Just now, who talked about having some fun?"

These scumbags, daring to speak in front of the Master about taking turns with Madam, probably thought they weren’t miserable enough to die already!

Wanting to live, they all pointed the finger at the leading man in black.

Vermilion Bird looked at the man’s bloody face, approached him coldly, swiftly drew his knife and the man howled, clutching his lower body.

The knife in Vermilion Bird’s hand dripped blood, and he pointed it at them and said, "You dare to rob the Regent King and the Regent Princess Consort, what else wouldn’t you dare do!"

"What?"

"The Regent King..."

"The Regent Princess Consort... is Prince Zhenbei!"

The men were terror-stricken by Mu Yan and Zhan Lan’s identities, unable imagining that such distinguished individuals would come to gamble in the casino.

"We were wrong!"

"We wouldn’t dare anymore!"

Especially the leading man, who had been decisively emasculated; terrified, his face pale as paper, trembling all over, kept apologizing, "This lowly one deserves to die, I dare not anymore, my lord, spare my life..."

Vermilion Bird sneered, looked back at the Hidden Guards and ordered, "Kill!"
