The next visitors to enter were Lirong Chang and his sister, Consort Lirong. With members of Clan Lirong coming to pay their respects, it was naturally a matter of business. Back when Xiaoyao had promised the Zhongyuan Lirong Clan that their casino chips could be exchanged at a rate of one to two, anyone with eyes could see that such a massive loophole, left open-ended without a deadline, was entirely unsustainable in the long run.
Lirong Chang was far too shrewd to keep playing dumb forever, so he had been plotting how to drag the deadline out as long as possible. To his surprise, Xiaoyao simply waved a hand and declared that the exchange rate would remain in effect for three full years, with the situation to be reviewed afterward. The two-headed hound broke into an immediate grin, almost baring both sets of canine teeth. In his heart, he had been hoping to scam another year out of her, or two at best, which would have yielded a very tidy profit indeed. But now the princess had directly granted three years—she truly was wealthy and magnanimous! Wearing a flattering smile, Lirong Chang hurriedly spoke up:
"Your Highness is most generous and refuses to quibble with petty clans like ours. On behalf of all my kinsmen, I thank Your Highness for her care."
