Chapter 124: Don't Compete for Highest or Lowest Places

Winter is coming, and every household has started preparing for winter and the New Year.

But if the wind is too strong or the rain is too heavy, there will still be fewer pedestrians on the street.

Originally, Yun Zhuan should have waited quietly for the plum blossoms in his mansion to bloom and then relaxed his mind.

Come to think of it, I haven’t seen Su Yue Temple for two months.

Su Yu'an was wearing an ink-colored cloak that was extremely shiny, as if it came from an animal.

But there was a look of fatigue on her face that could not be concealed. The moment she saw Yun Zhuan, her delicate features came alive.

"Jiaojiao, I heard you were injured. Let me take a look!" Su Yu'an's face turned pale for some reason. "Does it still hurt?"

Then he put the exquisite cakes for Gong Tingyu on the table and said, "I know you like cakes, but after going to the palace, I didn't remember what kind of cakes you liked, so I brought some."

Yun Zhuan's ankles were exposed and were covered with ice. She couldn't get up, so she said coquettishly with a smile:

"Thank you, Yue'an, you are so thoughtful. I like to eat any cakes you give me!"

Su Yu'an smiled a little, "That's good. My father has been watching me closely these days, so I can't come to Yun's house often. Have you made any other good friends?"

She heard that Mr. Bai went to the Shen family to teach Shen Xueyan, so she thought that the Shen and Yun families must have a close relationship.

What about Yun Zhuan, does he also like Shen Xueyan or Shen Xuehan?

As soon as she heard the news that Yun Ju'an was injured, she could no longer sit still and came despite the risk of being scolded by Master Su.

Only when she saw with her own eyes that Yun Zhu was safe and sound could she feel at ease.

"Is it She Yingying?" Yun Zhuan said casually, "Wasn't I being hunted today? My fourth brother sent me there, but..."

Su Yuean asked, "What happened?"

Yun Zhuan suddenly looked a little angry, with a puffy face:

"It's just that my fourth brother said that the reason I was injured was because of Yingying! Yingying is a girl, how could it be related to her!"

Then he turned his head to Su Yu'an and said, "Isn't that right?"

When Su Yue'an heard the name, he frowned. The She family was not a good place at all. It was a den of snakes and rats, and each one was more vicious than the other.

Yun Jiaojiao was probably blinded by She Yingying's apparent gentleness.

"Jiaojiao, just listen to me and be obedient." Su Yu'an touched Yun Ju'an's head, "Okay, don't get too close to She Yingying."

Master She often went with Master Su, but was always rejected by Master Su.

Because everyone knows that the She family is a cannibalistic place. To conspire with the She family is like conspiring with a tiger.

Yun Jiaojiao is young and inexperienced, so she will try her best to prevent such things from happening!

Yun Zhuan overheard everything she said. He put on an obedient look on his face, but he couldn't help but resent her in his heart.

She Yingying only knew how to coax her as a simple girl from the imperial concubine, but she didn't know that she was not a simple person at all.

If you want to compete with her, you must understand whether you have the strength.

"Okay, that's good, Jiaojiao, I know you are the best!" Su Yu'an sighed. Such a good girl only lamented that he was not a man.

How could Jiaojiao, who is so cute, have the habit of polishing mirrors?

Su Yuean sat for a while and then left.

After Su Yu'an left, Yun Zhuan's ankle swelling also disappeared.

Although she deceived Su Yue'an in some way, it was inconvenient for her to do it herself or to plot She Yingying's death.

Yun Zhuan understood very clearly why She Yingying wanted to touch her.

Just to give the Yun family a warning.

The She family has always had close ties with the Li family of Jiangzhou Prefecture, and they often have some good dealings. The Li family does good business and relies on many of the She family's disciples to help with their work.

Therefore, the Yun family has close contacts with King Ye and has a deep connection with the Shen family.

Warnings are also necessary.

But Yun Zhuan didn't mind. Although she was young, she was definitely not a girl who could be bullied.

She Yingying plays a game with her, but Yun Zhuan will not regard her as a real enemy.

Bai Ye was pushed in from outside and looked at Yun Zhuan's still red ankles: "After today's incident, I think I understand how many enemies you have, right?"

In the light and in the dark, there are countless of them.

"It doesn't matter. It's not worth worrying about. I heard that Princess Dongyi will arrive in half a month?" Yun Zhuan played with the jade chess piece in his hand. "I'm afraid that other countries will come to visit Yuan Kingdom by then."

The war between the Yuan Dynasty and the Dongyi was witnessed by people from other countries.

As long as the Yun family does not fall, other countries will not be able to truly destroy the Yuan Kingdom.

The current Emperor of Yuan Kingdom is not the former empress of Nanzhao Kingdom. The Emperor of Yuan Kingdom is dedicated to governing the country and is not greedy for beauty or money.

Having failed to seize the opportunity when the Yuan Dynasty was at its weakest, it can only wait for another chance.

But no one knows how long this opportunity will last.

Bai Ye was helped to the opposite side of Yun Zhuan, and he used the black pieces to break the white pieces' attack in one go:

“Not everyone can be a good chess piece, and not everyone will wait until the time comes to make a decision.”

Yun Zhuan thought for a moment and remembered what Bai Ye had said before.

If you are not sure, don't do it.

But it is precisely because we are not sure that we can go all out, give it our all, and strive for a good result!

Yun Zhuan didn't say anything and played chess more seriously.

The white chess piece once again defended its position, and in a few moves, it went towards him again.

The black flag moved slowly, and in the end, a lot of white pieces were still eaten up by the black flag.

But at this moment, the white pieces fell at a junction, and all the black pieces were taken into her pocket.

The chessboard is full, and most of the pieces left on it are white.

"Sir, you lost." Yun Ju'an threw the jade chess piece in his hand into the bowl.

Bai Ye's face was calm and composed: "You are really good at playing chess. Yun Huai's chess skills should be pretty good too, right?"

Yun Zhuan was silent for a while: "My chess skills were taught by my uncle, so in my heart, my uncle's position is unshakable."

"So, whether it's good or bad, I'm the one playing chess now."

Bai Ye could see from Yun Ju'an's moves that there were many loopholes that she had left before Yun Ju'an figured them out.

But when he was watching the chess game, he didn't expect that Yun Zhuan had such a trick up his sleeve.

"My uncle said that sometimes you have to do your best to leave no room for error, but sometimes you have to leave some room for error, because you are not leaving room for others, but for yourself."

Indeed, Bai Ye looked at Yun Zhuan with undisguised admiration.

"very good."

If Yun Zhuan was willing to call him teacher, perhaps Yun Zhuan would be the best student in her life.

Compared with the previous empress, she is not much inferior.

"Thank you." Yun Zhuan said softly, "Sir, I won't let you down."
