If Jiang Shi is stupid, then how many smart people are there in this world?

Yu Tanqi quickly shook his head: "You are not stupid at all. Winning and losing in a card game is normal. Let's take it slow."

"good."

Jiang Shi got what he wished and let Yu Tanqi's body stick close to him to help him look at the cards.

He pursed his lips slightly and deliberately threw the cards in his hand out. As expected, Yu Tanqi reached out and grabbed his hand, saying anxiously, "You can't throw this card away."

He let her hold his hand, the corners of his lips slightly raised, and he said softly: "Which card should I throw?"

She looked at his cards carefully, pointed to one and said, "Throw this one away."

"good."

Linlang glanced at them secretly.

The girl leaned forward slightly, her slender body pressed against the sitting boy, her soft black hair falling on his broad shoulders.

The boy stood with his back straight, smiling, and looked gentle and calm.

It's a very beautiful and harmonious picture.

Linlang withdrew her gaze and casually took out the cards to play.

Why did she feel that the prince did it on purpose?

Does he really want to learn how to play Mahjong?

Jiang Shi indeed won this game.

Yu Tanqi was a little drunk, but Jiang Shi suddenly said, "It's getting dark. Let's play tomorrow. It's time for dinner."

Yu Tanqi blinked, realizing that the light around her had dimmed. She nodded obediently, "Okay."

Jiang Shi slowly stood up, held the copper coin he had won in his palm, and handed it to Yu Tanqi, saying gently, "This is a small gift from the student to the teacher. I hope Tanqi will accept it."

"Ah, no, you don't have to pay me tuition. I'm not a teacher at all." Yu Tanqi quickly shook his head and refused.

Jiang Shi, however, grabbed one of her hands and forced her to accept it, with a gentle smile on his fair face. "Playing Mahjong is also a learning process. Once I pay the tuition, Tan Qi will remember to teach me, right?"

The boy's broad palm felt a little hot, and her fingers curled up slightly, but she finally accepted the "Shuxiu".

"Well, since you've said that, I'll try my best to be a good teacher and teach you how to play Mahjong."

"Then I'll leave it to Tan Qi."

He smiled, but didn't show it on his face. He let go of her hand reluctantly and walked with her to the dining room.

As soon as Jiang Shi returned home, the kitchen staff went to Luqiyuan, knowing that he would have dinner there tonight, so the servants who served the food directly delivered the meals for both of them to Luqiyuan.

After the sun set, a snow-white dove flew across the sky.

Yu Tanqi glanced at it casually, and suddenly found that the pigeon was flying straight towards her and Jiang Shi, and finally landed on the window frame in front of them.

She was startled, then thought of something. Her eyes fell on its paws and she said in surprise, "This pigeon seems to be a carrier pigeon. There is something on its paws."

Jiang Shi lowered his eyes slightly, reached out to grab the pigeon, and took the small bamboo tube from its claws.

He did not avoid Yu Tanqi. He took out the letter and opened it in front of her, his handsome eyebrows slightly frowned.

Yu Tanqi thought for a moment and then asked casually, "Who wrote this letter to you?"

Jiang Shi was silent. He folded his slender fingers together and hid the paper in his palm. He said softly, "I don't know if it was written for me. There's only one person's name written on it. Maybe the pigeon flew to the wrong destination."

"Oh, so that's it." Yu Tanqi didn't seem to care on the surface, but he was actually certain in his heart that this was Yun Shu's carrier pigeon.

The person named above is probably the most important subordinate of Yun Xuan, the Miao boy Cheng Su.

Yu Tanqi's heart tightened. He didn't expect that the plot would be advanced again.

She carefully recalled the original plot.

Yun Shu accidentally heard Yun Xuan's subordinates suggesting to him to assassinate the male protagonist. After being discovered by Yun Xuan, Yun Xuan told her about the grudge between the two families. Fearing that she would do something bad, Yun Xuan placed her under house arrest in the Prince Yun's Mansion.

After a period of agony and confusion, Yun Shu decided to go to Yun Xuan to ask him why he only told her now that the two families had a blood feud. However, she saw a strange masked boy suddenly appear in Prince Yun's Mansion.

The young man was dressed in a seductive red robe and wore a red mask that covered the left half of his face, revealing the other half of his face that was so white and transparent that he was as beautiful as a demon.

However, on the pale and thin wrist of his left hand was coiled a slender black and red snake. It was alive and would spit out its slender forked tongue when it saw people.

Yun Shu was afraid of snakes and fainted from fright.

After waking up, Yun Xuan was guarding her bedside.

Yun Shu asked him who the young man wearing a red snake mask was, but Yun Xuan told her not to ask too many questions and to stay in her yard and not go out to avoid danger.

Yun Shu didn't understand. The Prince Yun's Mansion was her home. Why couldn't she move around freely in her own home, but had to be trapped in her own courtyard? What dangers could she encounter if she went out?

She subconsciously thought of the masked boy that Yun Xuan avoided talking about.

There was a live snake coiled in his hand, and he looked like a very dangerous person.

Yun Shu realized later that Yun Xuan was no longer the selfless brother she remembered.

She didn't know what he was going to do, but she thought about what she had overheard his men suggesting to him to assassinate Jiang Shi, gritted her teeth, and decided to remind Jiang Shi.

No matter what, Yun Xuan shouldn't have killed Jiang Shi.

Jiang Shi was not only the young man she liked, but also the only child of the heroic couple of Wanjin State. He should not have died at the hands of her brother Yun Xuan.

Fortunately, in order to build a bond with Jiang Shi over the years, Yun Shu specially bought an expensive carrier pigeon and taught it how to find Jiang Shi at Wu'an Marquis Mansion to help her deliver messages.

Yun Shu didn't expect that the first message she sent with this carrier pigeon was not a love letter to Jiang Shi, but a message reminding him that he was in danger.

She tried to find out the identity and name of the masked boy, but in the end she only knew his name "Cheng Su".

After writing the letter, Yun Shu released the pigeon, but she didn't expect that someone saw the pigeon flying out of her yard and immediately went to report to Yun Xuan.

Yun Xuan was a very smart person. He guessed what Yun Shu had done in an instant and was very angry.

However, he only has this one biological sister, and after his parents died, she is his only relative.

He couldn't be cruel enough to do anything to her, but he didn't want her to stay around and do anything bad, so he could only send her out of the capital and not allow her to come back.

After receiving the message from "Cheng Su", the male protagonist did not ignore it and asked his men to check it out, and they indeed found useful information.

Cheng Su came from Miaojiang and was proficient in the art of poison.

Yun Xuan has such a dangerous person under his command, and the male protagonist becomes more wary of him.

However, these plots in the original novel will not happen until next year. It is only September now. The male protagonist has just entered the Imperial College and has not had time to show his prowess. Why is Yun Xuan suddenly so anxious to kill him?

Yu Tanqi pursed his lips tightly and fell into deep thought.

…

Prince Yun's Mansion.

When Yun Xuan learned that Yun Shu had released a carrier pigeon, his face instantly darkened.

The masked boy nonchalantly toyed with the slender red snake on his fingertips. His voice was lazy, with a slightly cold smile: "Your sister seems to be a bad person. Do you want me to help you discipline her?"
