"No problem."
Chen Ming reacted and immediately cleared his voice, imitating his master's expressionless face as he said, "However, I just overheard this young master say that he is attracted to Lord Yang of Qi?"
Chen Ming's gaze fell on Wang Xuan.
Wang Xuan lowered his head and dared not say a word.
Yang Zhao glanced at Chen Ming, or rather, at his face, and felt a sense of weirdness. Of course, she thought it was because she was used to seeing Mo Junran's 'disguise', and it was a little uncomfortable to see the real person at this time.
"This is my guest."
After saying that, Yang Zhao nodded slightly and said, "Then I will not disturb Your Highness."
Yang Zhao then took Wang Xuan into the house.
Yes, straight into the house.
Chen Ming's eyes widened slightly on the opposite side. He glanced at Chen Liu and whispered, "This man and woman are alone together. Think of a way!"
The master is so angry that he is about to turn green.
Chen Liu glanced at the person opposite him, but said without moving his lips: "She even brought her maid in with her, why are you so anxious?"
Qiuliang and Chunxi both went in.
Chen Ming didn't say anything then.
However, he still felt that this impression was too bad. If his master knew about it, he would definitely be unhappy.
After thinking for a moment, he said to Chen Liu, "You should go back and check on Wang Xuan to see what's going on. If he really has any feelings for him, give him a warning. At the very least, while the master is away, we have to protect Duke Yang of Qi's... innocence."
Chen Liu didn't object to this.
Wang Xuan could indeed investigate and understand his 'rival in love' so that he could give better advice to his master in the future.
Look, the two people's thought processes are somewhat different.
Orange, who was guarding the door of the room, narrowed her eyes and looked at the chattering "master and servant" opposite. Somehow, she always felt that Chen Liu's guard didn't seem to be very respectful to her own prince.
This is very wrong.
"Chengzi, the lady wants you to come in." Chunxi opened the door and called out.
When Chengzi heard this, he immediately withdrew his gaze and walked into the house with a stern face.
She came before Yang Zhao and bowed respectfully, "Miss."
Yang Zhao smiled at the little girl and said, "You have done very well during this period. There will be a reward when you return."
"Thank you, Miss."
Orange stood straight with a smile in his eyes.
"Then during this period of time, you will have to work harder to go out more often, buy groceries and other things." Yang Zhao continued with a smile.
After hearing this, Orange understood the meaning.
"Don't worry, Miss. I will go out more often during this period."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work."
"It's not hard. This is what a slave should do."
"Go ahead."
After Chengzi left, Yang Zhao turned his gaze to Wang Xuan who was still standing beside him.
Chunxi has already set up the chessboard.
Yang Zhao made a gesture of invitation: "Prince Wang, please sit down."
Wang Xuan glanced at the position on the other side of the chessboard, bowed slightly, and sat down opposite Yang Zhao.
"Please come in, Prince Wang."
Wang Xuan's chess piece is black, so he goes first.
After entering the house, Wang Xuan actually still felt a little excited, but after hearing her conversation with Chengzi, something flashed through his mind, but he was not quite sure.
Look at the chessboard.
Wang Xuan did not hesitate and placed the black chess piece in the middle of the chessboard.
This is the best way to start and the most common.
Yang Zhao glanced at it, then picked up the white piece with his fair hands and put it down. He asked with a faint smile, "Is Wang Mingren, the head of the Wang Trading Company, your grandfather?"
"Yes."
"I heard that the old man in your family was once the most capable assistant under the King of Yujiang? Is that why your Wang family was able to merge with the four major families?" Yang Zhao asked as if he was chatting.
Wang Xuan's chess piece hand paused.
At this time, he finally reacted.
He glanced at the beautiful woman opposite him, then at the chessboard, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes. It seemed that Duke Yang of Qi was not attracted to him, nor did he just want to keep him to play chess!
What's wrong with feeling a little lost?
However, Wang Xuan quickly put down his chess piece as if nothing had happened and replied respectfully, "Yes, our Wang family was originally just an ordinary merchant in Yujiang, and could not be ranked among the Four Great Families. It was because of the appreciation of the Prince of Yujiang that my grandfather was able to work for him, and our Wang family had the opportunity to rise to prominence."
This is no secret in Yujiang.
It was because their Wang family relied on Prince Yujiang to get ahead, so after Prince Yujiang died, when their grandfather stepped out to do this alone, many people looked down on their Wang family and thought they were ungrateful.
Some people even suspected that the destruction of the Yujiang Wang family was related to his Wang family.
Did Duke Yang of Qi also have the same suspicion?
Thinking of this, Wang Xuan asked directly, "Duke Yang of Qi, are you here for Prince Yujiang?"
As soon as the King of Yujiang died, the people of Yujiang became dissatisfied with the court.
Because of this, the four major families were able to "control" Yujiang. In addition, Yujiang was a gathering place for Confucian scholars. Even if Emperor Wenyuan wanted to take control back, he was powerless. After all, the emperor was far away.
When Duke Yang of Qi came to Yujiang this time, people from the four major families were also speculating whether Duke Yang of Qi was sent by Emperor Wenyuan.
However, they also had another idea in mind.
Considering that Duke Yang of Qi was a woman, and a woman who had been married before, if he could marry her, it would be equivalent to getting all the wealth in the world, so this is what happened in the past few days.
After all, they didn't believe that a woman like Duke Yang of Qi could cause any trouble in the Yujiang River.
Even his Wang family looked down on him.
But at this moment, Wang Xuan, looking at the chess game in front of him that was gradually being forced into a dead end, felt horrified. The contempt he had felt at the beginning had long since disappeared, leaving only a complex emotion.
As expected, it couldn’t be easy to become Duke Yang of Qi, who was as wealthy as a country.
When Yang Zhao dropped the last piece, Wang Xuan couldn't hide the shock in his eyes. It was fast, too fast!
Before the other party could even answer his question, he was suddenly killed by the other party.
Strange troops and cunning tactics!
"I lost."
Wang Xuan looked at the chessboard and smiled bitterly.
It's so embarrassing.
How come I didn’t realize that my chess skills were so bad before?
"I did come here for Prince Yujiang, so I want to know what your Wang family knows about Prince Yujiang's death, and... what is your Wang family's attitude towards Prince Yujiang." Yang Zhao said without beating around the bush.
Such straightforwardness made Wang Xuan stunned.
really……
But he couldn't answer this question.
"Another plate?"
Seeing that Wang Xuan didn't say anything, Yang Zhao was not in a hurry. He asked lazily while asking someone to collect the chess pieces.
Wang Xuan wanted to refuse, but then he thought of something and nodded.
However, just like the previous game, he lost again. Although his loss was a little more impressive than the previous one, it was still a loss without any suspense...
