"The princess rescued Xiao'er and Ning'er," Zhao Beicheng asked Madam Zhou to look at the two nephews she was holding. ..

Mrs. Zhou turned her back and wiped away the tears.

"This is the best outcome," Zhao Beicheng told Mrs. Zhou. Children under the age of 18 would not hate as long as they were not taught by adults, so Zhao Beicheng dared to ask for this grace with a thick face. As for the rest of the Zhao family, Zhao Beicheng did not dare to save them, and he did not even think about saving them.

Mrs. Zhou nodded. Seeing such a big family fall into such a state, Mrs. Zhou couldn't help but shed tears.

"Let's go in," Zhao Beicheng turned to face Madam Zhou and whispered, "It will be fine in the future."

"Hey," Mrs. Zhou responded and followed Zhao Beicheng.

There was only one oil lamp lit in the simple lobby of the small inn, illuminating an area only the size of a palm, while the entire lobby was still pitch dark.

As Zhao Beicheng was walking, he suddenly turned around to look at Madam Zhou. This woman always followed him and never left, no matter whether he was rich or poor.

When Mrs. Zhou saw Zhao Beicheng looking at her, she touched her face and said, "Husband, what's wrong?"

Zhao Beicheng looked at Madam Zhou and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

Mrs. Zhou was stunned for a moment, then she laughed and whispered, "I'm just waiting here, how can it be hard?"

When Zhao Beicheng was still the eldest son of the Zhao family, he had countless women around him and spent his days in debauchery. Now when he thinks about those days again, he feels ashamed.

Madam Zhou sighed and said, "My husband, let's go back to the room. I can't bear to live like this."

“If it weren’t for the hardship,” Zhao Beicheng looked down at Madam Zhou and said, “I wouldn’t have known to look into your heart.”

Madam Zhou gently pulled Zhao Beicheng's hand and said softly, "Then I would rather you never see my heart."

Zhao Beicheng didn't understand what Mrs. Zhou said at first, but when he figured it out, his eyes became hot and he almost cried. This woman would rather not be loved in her whole life, just hoping that he wouldn't suffer?

"Let's go," Mrs. Zhou walked beside Zhao Beicheng this time and said, "We still have to see father and others off tomorrow."

"Okay," Zhao Beicheng slowly led Mrs. Zhou into the dark backyard of the inn. There was mud under their feet and the air was filled with the stench of rancid livestock sheds. The environment was bad, but Zhao Beicheng was calm. He had done many wrong things, but God had treated him well and gave him a good woman.

Yu Xiaoxiao ran back home, went to the kitchen and took out two steamed buns and ate a few bites of them. Then she looked for Gu Xinglang and found the back garden.

At this time, two people in the pavilion in the back garden were fighting fiercely, and the chess game was at a stalemate.

When Gu Xinglang saw Yu Xiaoxiao coming back, he hurriedly got up.

Master Fenglin said, "Gu Xinglang, if you leave now, it would be like running away."

Yu Xiaoxiao stretched her head to look at the chessboard. She knew it was Go, but she didn't understand anything. Yu Xiao: "Xiao Gu, don't worry about me. Defeat Fenglin first."

Gu Xinglang said: "He will be defeated soon."

Master Fenglin said, "This is a draw at best."

Yu Xiaoxiao sat down next to Gu Xinglang and said, "My little Gu said you are going to lose, so you are definitely going to lose."

Master Fenglin looked at Yu Xiaoxiao and smiled, saying, "What if it's a draw?"

Yu Xiao: "Don't you have any ambition? Playing chess is like fighting, there has to be a winner or a loser. If you don't want to kill my little Gu, then don't play chess."

Young Master Fenglin..., why do things become bloody when they come into this guy's mouth?

"Xiao Gu, come up," Yu Xiaoxiao pulled Gu Xinglang's hand.

Gu Xinglang had to be more serious now, he couldn't lose face in front of his wife.

Master Fenglin said, "Princess, you must not side with your husband."

Yu Xiao: "Don't worry about this. I can't even understand this thing. How can I help?"

Master Fenglin almost dropped the white in his hand to the wrong place and asked in surprise, "You don't know how to play chess?"

Yu Xiao: "I have to worry about the country and the people, how can I have time to play chess? Is it because I am full?"

Master Fenglin... So those who can play chess are just bored? Ah, no, this guy said he was concerned about the country and the people. How could he be so shameless?

"Tell me the truth," Yu Xiaoxiao whispered to Gu Xinglang as the divine beast in Master Fenglin's heart was running wildly.

Gu Xinglang looked at the chessboard and whispered, "It's basically a draw, but I still have a chance."

Yu Xiaoxiao kissed Gu Xinglang on the face and encouraged him, "You can do it!"

Gu Xinglang's body stiffened, then he smiled and said, "Okay."

Seeing Yu Xiaoxiao kissing Gu Xinglang on the face, Young Master Fenglin was shocked. Don’t these two have any consideration at all in front of him?

Yu Xiaoxiao urged Master Fenglin, "Master, it's time for you to leave now, right?"

"Fall," Gu Xinglang said.

"Oh, fall," Yu Xiao said, "Fall quickly."

Young Master Fenglin looked at Yu Xiaoxiao, his eyes moved slightly, and he made a move on the chessboard.

Yu Xiaoxiao watched the two playing chess and soon felt dizzy. She felt that she was asking for trouble by instigating her little Gu to fight for the victory. Instead of sitting here playing chess, they could have come and played some.

As the night deepened and the dew became heavy, Yu Xiaoxiao finished her tea and fruits, but the game between Gu Xinglang and Master Fenglin was still undecided.

Young Master Fenglin held the black chess piece in his hand, looked at the chessboard, and thought for a long time without any result.

Yu Xiaoxiao yawned and thought, looking at the attitudes of these two people, should she go find something to eat?

"This is a risky move," Master Fenglin said to Gu Xinglang, "What are your chances of winning this way?"

Gu Xinglang said: "How do you know if it works if you don't try? Your chess moves are very strange."

Yu Xiao: "Really? What's so strange about that?"

Master Fenglin said: "My chess..."

"Haha," Yu Xiaoxiao interrupted Master Fenglin and said, "Just pretend I didn't ask. I wouldn't understand even if you said it."

Master Fenglin said, "I heard that Princess, you are proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting."

Yu Xiao: "How stupid! You believe in rumors?"

Master Fenglin... This is the first time I've seen someone so publicly admit that he is not without skills. Is this something to be proud of? !

At this time, Dadong followed a housekeeper, walked through the winding corridor, and came to the pavilion.

The housekeeper saluted to the people in the pavilion and said, "Princess, I have brought Miss Dadong here."

Gu Xinglang glanced at Dadong and said to Yu Xiao: "My second sister-in-law sent someone to bring her here."

Young Master Fenglin turned his head and looked outside the pavilion. When he saw Dadong's face, he was stunned and the black chess piece in his hand fell onto the board.
