Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

When Wang Zhuo saw his expression, he knew that he must have been wronged by Ze'er. "Why, did Ze'er bully you?"

Sun Xingzhi waved his hands quickly and explained, "Sir, no, yes, yes, it's Zhier's problem."

"Tell me what happened."

"Yes." Sun Xingzhi listened to Wang Zhuo's slightly angry words and said, "I don't know what the third prince is plotting. He does not allow Zhier to enter the meeting room."

Wang Zhuo was a little surprised when he heard this. Under the current circumstances, what else did Li Junze want to do?

Before he could think about it, he heard Sun Xingzhi continue, "Your Highness may feel that I said something I shouldn't have said to you, sir, so..."

Wang Zhuo was startled when he heard this. Ever since he punished Sun Xingzhi with a caning last time, Sun Xingzhi's style of doing things seemed to be very different from before.

Just like what he is doing now, it would have been absolutely impossible before.

After all, such a thing could be regarded as provoking a conflict between Wang Zhuo and Li Junze. How could a smart man like Sun Xingzhi not think of this?

"Okay, I understand. You don't have to worry too much about it. Even if you don't tell me about what happened on Ze'er's side, someone will tell me." Wang Zhuo motioned for him to sit opposite him and handed him a chess basket.

On the chessboard in front of him was the endgame of the last game between the two of them.

Sun Xingzhi nodded, but he was still a little disappointed with Wang Zhuo's answer.

As a person arranged by Wang Zhuo to be by Li Junze's side, he received such treatment, but he just let it go so nonchalantly.

I am his son, doesn't he feel sorry for me at all?

Although he thought so, there was no displeasure on Sun Xingzhi's face. He stared at the endgame on the chessboard seriously and recalled his thoughts when he played chess last time.

At this moment, Wang Zhuo pointed at a chess piece he had played before and said, "Zhi'er, you see, this move you made was not very good. Your intention was too obvious."

After he said this, Sun Xingzhi's mind suddenly became filled with panic.

Is Wang Zhuo reminding himself that what he just did was too obvious?

"Yes, sir, I appreciate your advice." He blushed and lowered his head in shame.

Wang Zhuo seemed not to notice his abnormality, and then pointed to a place and said, "You took this step very well. If I hadn't looked carefully, I would hardly have discovered your true purpose."

Sun Xingzhi looked at Wang Zhuo. It seemed that the other party was just instructing him on chess and did not mention anything else.

"Has Ze'er been out these past two days?" After pointing out the problematic steps he had taken last time, the two continued their game.

Wang Zhuo casually asked about Li Junze's movements in the past two days.

Sun Xingzhi seemed to be hesitant to speak again. After placing a chess piece, he said, "When Xingzhi was here, I didn't find him leaving the house."

As for whether she went out when she was carrying him on her back, he had no idea.

Sun Xingzhi still thought that he should not make any mistakes in this matter, but Wang Zhuo said, "Zhi'er, I told you before that you should be good at making use of everyone around you. You are with Ze'er, so are you on good terms with the people around him?"

"Not only those counselors, but also the housekeeper? Where is the servant? Where is the little maid who serves Ze'er?"

Sun Xingzhi was suddenly speechless. It turned out that he had no complete grasp of Li Junze's whereabouts, and in the end it was his own fault that he did not do his job well.

"Yes, Zhier was not thoughtful enough in doing things. I will definitely improve on it in the future." Sun Xingzhi continued to admit his mistake.

"Well, you must be careful about your words and actions when you are with Ze'er. If you want to be reused, you must first be liked by Ze'er. This way, your life will be much better in the future."

"Yes."

Sun Xingzhi kept saying "yes", and Wang Zhuo, while playing chess, earnestly instructed Sun Xingzhi on the things he should pay attention to when doing things.

I knew about his academic studies before, but after the imperial examination, he focused on the rules of officialdom and how to behave in society.

However, when Sun Xingzhi heard this, he felt that Wang Zhuo was blaming him for not doing his job well enough, and he became extremely angry.

After finishing the game of chess, Sun Xingzhi stood up and wanted to go back.

Wang Zhuo said, "It seems that you are not in the mood to play chess with me today. Then go back early and tell Ze'er to copy the scriptures with peace of mind."

"Yes, Zhier understands." Sun Xingzhi agreed and turned away.

When he reached the door, he couldn't help but look back at Wang Zhuo. The other party didn't even look at him, but had already sat down and started to clear the chess pieces on the board.

When he saw all this, he felt even more lonely. From childhood to adulthood, the only person he could rely on and the only person who was good to him was Wang Zhuo. But ever since he came to Li Junze's side, it seemed that all his kindness to him turned into complaints.

Even if Li Junze made a mistake, he would put all the blame on himself.

This made him feel more and more uncomfortable the more he thought about it.

So on the way back, he went to Louwailou to drink again, but in the lobby on the first floor, he unexpectedly ran into Gu Qiongsi who was still inquiring for news.

She was dressed in white, thin in figure, sitting quietly in the corner, her sharp eyes capturing the information in the words of people in the hall.

Although she was wearing a veil that covered her hair and face, leaving only her eyes exposed, Sun Xingzhi still recognized her at a glance.

So this time he did not enter the private room, but asked the waiter to take him directly to sit opposite Gu Qiongsi.

"I didn't expect to see you here." Sun Xingzhi knew that her current identity was a bit awkward, so he didn't call her, but greeted her directly.

Gu Qiongsi was also very surprised to see him. He was recognized again. It seemed that he would need to disguise himself well next time he came here.

What will happen if we are discovered by Wang Zhuo’s men?

"Sun Tanhua, long time no see." Gu Qiongsi also hurriedly greeted Sun Xingzhi, but she didn't understand why he came to see her today.

"Well, long time no see. You are the most despicable. How are you?" Sun Xingzhi seldom interacted with women alone. He was usually followed by maids and nannies. Now that he was suddenly sitting with Gu Qiongsi like this, he didn't know what to say.

Gu Qiongsi also noticed his awkwardness, and thought that he must be similar to Xie Chengan, also a nerd, so she found it funny, "Thank you Sun Tanhua for your concern, I am living a good life now."
