Without waiting for Gu Shirou to speak, Bei Mingxuan continued.
The corners of his lips curled up, revealing a hint of sarcasm. His gaze shifted from the painting to Gu Shirou's face, his eyes icy cold.
"I would like to advise you, Fourth Sister-in-law, to know your limits. Do not allow this painting to appear again. This prince does not like it, and I do not want Fourth Brother to misunderstand me when he sees it in the future. Do you understand?"
"..." Such words were something Gu Shirou had not expected, but they were also within her expectations. She knew that Bei Mingxuan had never seen her in his eyes. "The Ninth Prince is right. Shirou has overstepped her bounds."
The moment Bei Mingxuan withdrew his gaze, he pushed the candle on the table in front of Gu Shirou.
Tears welled up in Gu Shirou's eyes, but she was just trying hard to hold them back. She knew Bei Mingxuan wanted her to burn the painting with her own hands.
"Stay." Gu Qingfeng said, "I really like this one..."
"If you like it, I will give you a famous painting tomorrow, okay?" Bei Mingxuan's meaning was obvious, he couldn't keep him.
Gu Shirou no longer hesitated and burned the painting. "So, Shirou will no longer disturb the Ninth Prince and his uncle."
Bei Mingxuan seemed not to hear what Gu Shirou said and didn't even look at her.
To avoid embarrassing Shirou, Gu Qingfeng said, "Meng Tan, go and send Shirou back. Be careful on the way."
Just as Shirou opened the door, Bei Mingxuan said coldly, "Fourth sister-in-law, if you still have these paintings, please destroy them when you return."
"I will follow the Ninth Prince's words." Gu Shirou replied respectfully and left.
After the people left, Gu Qingfeng said with a hint of regret, "It's a pity to burn such a beautiful painting. Your words 'fourth sister-in-law' are a bit too much for your niece."
"Sir, are you blaming me or teasing me?" Bei Mingxuan said with a smile, "I prepared some good wine for you, would you like to try it?"
"Okay!" Speaking of wine, Gu Qingfeng also loves it.
"Fu Lin, bring some wine." As soon as Bei Mingxuan finished speaking, he walked in with the wine.
"Master, Fu Cheng is guarding the door of the room downstairs. He said that Mr. Qingfeng's nephew Gu Shirong is looking for you." Fu Cheng asked, "I wonder if you want to return him?"
Gu Qingfeng didn't speak immediately, but looked out the window. He saw a strange man playing chess with three other people. "Who is that man playing chess with three other people?"
"I heard that it was someone from the Southern Kingdom's royal family, named Nangong Lekang." Fu Lin explained what happened between Nangong Lekang and Gu Shirong in the Gambling Pavilion.
"Oh, he is it?" Gu Qingfeng admired his daughter in his heart. She looked heroic and handsome in a man's outfit, and her face was thinner. If no one told him, he would not be able to tell that this man was his daughter in disguise.
"Shirong has already prepared 1,000 taels of gold. Rujian is here to see it. However, those three guys are not convinced. They want to get it back for Shirong.
However, seeing that person's relaxed state, I imagine it will be difficult for Shirong's friends to win."
"I wonder if you know someone from the Southern Kingdom's royal family." Bei Mingxuan said, "I heard that Gu Shirong is looking for trouble with this person because Nangong Lekang is related to Chang'an."
"Oh!" Gu Qingfeng's face was filled with helplessness. "If this person is really from the Southern Kingdom's royal family, then it wouldn't be wrong to say they are related. But after careful investigation, we still don't know what kind of relative they are. Shirong can be considered a confused man."
Bei Mingxuan shook his head and sighed slightly, "The current general is not a smart man, how can his son be smart?
On the contrary, why did the old general indulge them? The glory of the Gu family is about to be ruined by this Gu Shirong."
Gu Qingfeng said calmly, "Life and death are determined by fate, and wealth is determined by heaven. My father is also old, and even if he wants to help, he will not be able to do it."
"With your ability, sir, you can turn the tide."
"I've already said it." Gu Qingfeng smiled slightly, "Life and death are determined by fate, and wealth and honor are determined by heaven. Since the cause was planted in the past, there will definitely be a result in the future."
"Well, everything has its destiny." Bei Mingxuan said, looking outside. The first floor hall was gradually crowded with people. "What's going on outside Fu Lin?"
"It was that man called Nangong Lekang. He was fighting against three people alone. This had never happened before in the Gambling Pavilion. Moreover, the game they were playing wasn't just any ordinary chess, but a new game introduced by the Gambling Pavilion called 'Gobang'."
"Gomoku." Bei Mingxuan was slightly surprised. "What are the rules?"
"In Gobang, five pieces are connected in a line. No matter which direction, as long as the five pieces are in a line, you win." Fu Lin explained the rules of Gobang.
"Interesting! I have to say that Yin Chujiu from the Gambling Pavilion is truly admirable." Bei Mingxuan looked at Gu Qingfeng, "Sir, are you interested?"
"Ninth Prince wants to try it?" Gu Qingfeng's eyes also showed interest.
The two smiled at each other without saying a word.
Fu Lin prepares the chessboard and chess pieces.
At this time, Gu Qingfeng looked intently at the people playing chess outside. Deep down, he wanted to get closer to Chang'an so that he could see more clearly.
According to Changan, she was lonely for many years in Bei Mingye's mansion in her previous life.
It was precisely that kind of loneliness that made her learn to be alone, and learn many things that she didn't know before, and also made Gu Changan what she is today.
But Gu Qingfeng asked himself, he couldn't understand that feeling, and he couldn't stand in his daughter's perspective and think about everything she was thinking.
The only feeling is that my daughter is very outstanding at this moment.
The chessboard and chess pieces have been set up.
Gu Qingfeng plays white chess, Bei Mingxuan plays black chess.
