32 Betting with the Marquis
He couldn't understand this kind of thing either.
And he believed that Shen would not lie to him.
Shen Jingxiang secretly glanced at Prince Jing, and for some reason, she had an illusion.
Prince Jing was always stealing glances at her.
And when I looked at her, there was a smile on her face, which was very strange.
Could this guy be up to something bad?
But the two of them had just reached a cooperation, this guy wouldn't just quit so soon, right?
I don't think it's likely.
In such a weird atmosphere, Shen Jingxiang waited for the old lady and others to come back.
As soon as the old lady came back, she received a notification from the servants saying that Prince Jing had arrived.
The old lady's face suddenly changed.
Why is Prince Jing coming to the Marquis' Mansion for no reason?
This marquisate has never had any intersection with Prince Jing.
This was also the first time she returned the golden hairpin gift from the emperor.
So what are you here for this time?
And this Shen, because she was in poor health, she quickly sent Prince Jing away and actually waited for them to come back. I really don’t know whether Shen was thinking about them or wanted to harm them.
The old lady said to Gu Youting, "Prince Jing has come to the Marquis' Mansion. Come with me to take a look."
Gu Youting was shocked. Why did Prince Jing come to the Marquis' Mansion again? He had been here before, and it had only been a few days.
He doesn't want to go.
Prince Jing is a devil, he doesn't want to be bullied.
"Mother, you are the one in charge of the Marquis' Mansion now, why don't you just go? Why do you have to drag me along?"
How could the old lady not know?
In fact, she didn't want to go, but the servants had already come to inform her, so as the head of the family, she had to go.
As for why Gu Youting had to go as well.
Gu Youting is a marquis after all, the head of the family. Besides, he is a man and an official, so he should have some topics to talk about with Prince Jing. It would be good to chat with him when the time comes.
Besides, getting on board Prince Jing’s team is a good thing. It will not only help Gu Youting’s future, but also Gu Haoxuan’s future.
"Haoxuan is taking the imperial examination. When the results come out, he will be the top scorer. If you build a good relationship with Prince Jing, you can give Haoxuan some help by giving him some advice. You also hope that Haoxuan can have a good future, right?"
Prince Jing is the emperor's younger brother, and his words carry great weight.
Even if I can't get on this boat, I can't offend them.
When Gu Youting heard that it was for Gu Haoxuan, he agreed even though he was very reluctant.
Soon, the mother and son went to East Garden.
At this time, Prince Jing was playing chess with Shen Jingxiang.
The old lady appeared with Gu Youting, then paid her respects to Prince Jing, and then stood aside, not daring to say a word.
Seeing someone coming, Shen Jingxiang lost the game of shogi naturally, and then coughed twice.
"Ahem, Your Majesty, I feel a little uncomfortable and want to go back and rest for a while. How about letting the Marquis play chess with you? The Marquis has been practicing chess since he was a child, and his chess skills are much better than mine."
Gu Youting stood there, speechless.
When did he ever say that he was an excellent chess player?
Do you still want to play chess with Prince Jing?
How could he do that?
The old lady also remembered that Gu Youting had learned to play chess before, so she also hoped that Gu Youting would play a game of chess with Prince Jing.
After all, this is an opportunity to please Prince Jing, and Gu Youting must seize it.
Seeing that Gu Youting was slow to express his opinion, the old lady could only speak for him anxiously.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. The Marquis has been learning chess since he was a child. He is an excellent chess player. It would be most appropriate for him to play chess with you."
The old lady gave Gu Youting a look, and Gu Youting gritted his teeth and nodded twice.
He only knows the basics and has only studied it for two days, so he can't be considered to have mastered it at all.
If it was about drinking and betting, he knew a lot about it.
But playing chess...
Just forget it! Don't embarrass him.
He wanted to retort, but before he could open his mouth, the old lady glared back at him.
Once upon a time, he went to learn chess for a few days.
But he found it boring, so he skipped school to fight crickets after only two days of learning. Later, when he learned something, he used it to deceive the old lady.
After all, he was destined to be a marquis, and the title was hereditary to him. Even if he did nothing and learned nothing, he could still enjoy wealth and glory. So why bother working hard?
So when it comes to playing chess, he really can't do it at all.
But now Shen has already stepped down, and the old lady is urging him on. If he doesn't stand up, doesn't it mean that he is lying?
I can only go ahead with it.
He sat opposite Prince Jing and started the game.
The old lady knew that Gu Youting was an excellent chess player and could definitely beat the idiot Prince Jing, so she had some evil thoughts.
"Your Highness Prince Jing, this chess game is a bit too boring. How about adding some excitement?"
Prince Jing raised his eyebrows, "Oh? I wonder what kind of prize you want to add?"
Gu Youting was dumbfounded.
He was just trying to fool around, what was his mother doing?
Don’t you know this is a losing game?
He doesn't know how to play chess at all, let alone be a match for Prince Jing.
But the old lady didn't know that, and she thought that Gu Youting was an excellent chess player and would definitely win this competition.
The old lady said excitedly, "I haven't made up my mind yet. How about signing a contract and promising the other party one thing? I promise to do it to the best of my ability and not force anyone to do anything."
Prince Jing agreed without even thinking about it.
Want to play chess?
He really wasn't afraid.
He had lost to Shen once before, but that was because he had underestimated her and let her take advantage of him.
But this time, Gu Youting has no chance of winning.
Before Gu Youting even started playing chess, he began to break out in cold sweats.
Xiao Tao immediately went back and told Shen about the gambling.
After Shen heard this, her eyes lit up, but she soon lost interest.
The outcome of this bet has been decided. Gu Youting is simply a fool, and the persona he created was all bought with money.
Just like Gu Haoxuan's position as the top scholar, it was all due to money.
The only difference is that Gu Haoxuan studied hard for ten years and has some knowledge, but Gu Youting has no knowledge at all.
Otherwise, why haven't I received any promotion after working for so many years?
Isn't it because he is incompetent and a complete waste, so no one dares to use him?
Since it's useless to use it, it's better not to use it at all.
At the beginning, Shen spent a lot of money to help Gu Youting settle these messes, so she had already figured out Gu Youting's real talents and skills.
The only thing you can see about this person is his face, everything else is fake.
Play chess with Prince Jing for a bet?
One hundred percent loss.
This old lady is really blindly confident in her son. She actually gave Prince Jing a head. It's really interesting.
Soon, Gu Youting lost the game.
The old lady was dumbfounded when she saw it.
