But as time passed, be it the guards or the servants, they gradually became less apprehensive. When it was time to make money, they would no longer be polite.
The two guards had won several rounds against their master.
Prince Anyang’s luck wasn’t good. Very quickly, he lost until his face turned sour.
Another round, Prince Anyang was still holding his cards.
This time, he got a good card and looked at Liang Yu and one of the guards who was playing.
The two of them played a few rounds, but they did not have the intention to raise their cards.
Prince Anyang knew that their cards were big, so he bet 50 taels of silver. (Maximum of 100 taels.)
However, Liang Yu actually followed, and the guard chose to look at Liang Yu’s card.
Then, the guard put the card back into the pile with a pained expression.
When Prince Anyang saw this, he did not even look at his cards and immediately bet 100 taels of silver.
Liang Yu frowned and followed with another 100 taels.
Then, the two of them actually followed him back and forth several times.
Prince Anyang was furious. He was even a little angry that Liang Yu did not give him face.
Looking at the small mountain of silver notes piled up on the table, Prince Anyang was a little envious.
After hesitating for a moment, he picked up his card.
The first card was a 10 of Hearts.
Then, Prince Anyang carefully moved the first card. When he saw that the second card was black, he was a little disappointed.
In the end, he realized that the second card was a 10 of Spades.
He couldn’t help but be delighted.
Then, he began to focus on the first two cards.
When he saw a 1 appear on the third card, Prince Anyang couldn’t help but be ecstatic.
Then, he moved the first two cards and found that it was indeed a 10 of Diamonds.
There were three 10s!
At this moment, Prince Anyang was really ecstatic. His cards were definitely bigger than Liang Yu’s!
However, in an instant, he quickly calmed down.
He even pretended to be in a difficult position.
He looked like he wanted to continue but was hesitant.
Then, after thinking for a while, he put out 100 taels.
“Another 100 taels.” Then, he pretended to be calm.
Liang Yu frowned.
‘Too taels.” He followed.
Prince Anyang frowned, but he was actually very happy.
“Another 100 taels!”
‘Too taels.” Liang Yu continued to follow, feeling that victory was in his grasp.
He didn’t expect Prince Anyang to continue.
After a few rounds, seeing that there was no more money in front of Prince Anyang and he looked like he was going to ask the guard for more, Liang Yu sighed and finally suggested looking at the cards.
“Haha!” Prince Anyang smiled cheerfully.
Liang Yu, who had thought that victory was in his grasp, turned pale instantly.
He was holding a 10 J (^straight, which was considered a big hand among big hands. Was he facing a hand that was even bigger than a straight?
Looking at Prince Anyang in disbelief, Liang Yu showed his cards.
“If Your Highness’ three cards are the same, you win.”
Prince Anyang was ecstatic and quickly revealed his three 10s on the table.
Then, he stretched out his hand toward the pile of banknotes on the table.
In the previous round, he was the biggest loser on the table.
However, with this one round, he had returned everything he had lost.
Not only did he make a comeback, but he also earned at least 700 taels of silver.
Compared to Prince Anyang’s excitement, Liang Yu’s expression was much worse.
He had been the winner of this round before, but after this round, not only did he lose all the money he had won, but he also lost a lot of money.
“Everyone must give me 1 tael of silver each as a reward!” After taking back all the money, Prince Anyang spread his hands at everyone.
He didn’t forget that getting a straight means he could get 1 tael from everyone.
Everyone congratulated him.
Liang Yu’s expression was ugly as he took out his money.
“Continue, continue!” Prince Anyang took the money and said happily.
He skillfully shuffled the cards.
Everyone thought that Prince Anyang would definitely become bolder after he won. However, he became more reserved.
On the other hand, Liang Yu was the opposite.
He wanted to win back the money he had lost.
Unfortunately, Liang Yu seemed to have bad luck after that. He lost more than he won.
In the end, he became the biggest loser on the table.
The biggest winner was Prince Anyang, followed by Lin Xiaoyue.
The rest also lost, but not by much..
