Xiao Yi glanced at him. He really hadn't been quiet all day. He just said that he didn't get enough rest last night, so he went to sleep and didn't want to be disturbed. Unexpectedly, he went to disturb Mu Mu: "Ignore him."

"He Jing'an, this is the last time. If I find out that you are pestering Mu Mu again, I will show you how I will deal with you." He Jing'an did not dare to refute and ran directly to Ye Feng. Anyway, as long as he was not bothered, there would always be someone who would listen to him.

"Are you playing chess?" Nan Mu looked at the chessboard not far away.

"Can you? Do you want to play together?" Xiao Yi didn't know whether Nan Mu could play chess. If he just regarded Nan Mu as a little girl who grew up in a small mountain village, she probably wouldn't be able to play. After all, there were many girls from aristocratic families in Beijing who couldn't play chess.

"Yes, you can try."

"Oops, I lost..." Nan Mu looked at the chessboard and pouted: "I shouldn't have made that move just now."

Xiao Yi was surprised at Nan Mu's chess skills: "Who taught you chess?" And Xiao Yi felt that the techniques were somewhat familiar.

"Yes, a very powerful master." In her previous life, in order to be worthy of a girl from an aristocratic family, she begged Su Lan to find a master for her, but Su Lan refused.

Later, by chance, she met an old man in the back garden. The man had a kind look and was sitting alone in a pavilion playing chess. She walked over and looked at him with envy.

"Grandpa, isn't it boring to play chess alone?" The old man looked up at her.

"Whose girl are you? You don't look very old. Are you here to attend my granddaughter's birthday party?"

"No, I live here."

"Oh? But..." The old man stopped talking. Later, she followed the old man to play chess. Only later did she find out that the old man was Su Lan's father, her grandfather, and the imperial tutor of the current dynasty.

That day, their whole family came to attend Ji Sangyu's birthday party. Because grandpa couldn't stand the fact that Ji's family only cared about Ji Sangyu and ignored her, he was sulking by himself in the back garden playing chess. Unexpectedly, he met him.

At that time, grandpa taught her so carefully because he guessed her identity.

Xiao Yi looked at Nan Mu lost in thought and tapped her nose with his hand: "Your chess style is very similar to my teacher. His chess skills are very good."

"Your teacher?" Nan Mu's eyes were filled with a hint of anticipation.

"Well, Su Yuanheng is the father of Madam Ji Su Lan." Xiao Yi wanted to see Nan Mu's reaction. It seemed that he guessed right. Nan Mu knew him.

"He's really amazing." Nan Mu was worried that Xiao Yi would doubt him: "What I mean is that to be your master, he must be an amazing person."

Xiao Yi smiled but didn't say anything. What happened to Nan Mu and how did she leave the Ji family? He asked Ye Feng to investigate and found out that Nan Mu did grow up in that village and had never left.

The doctor who raised her had never been to the capital, so how did she know her life story? And why did she hate Ji Sangyu and Xiao Yanchen so much?

"Xiao Yi, can we play another game?" Nan Mu put the black and white chess pieces back in place: "This time, I will definitely beat you."

"Okay." Xiao Yi was also happy to accompany her. It was so nice to have the person he loved by his side while the years were peaceful and quiet.

Xiao Yi and Nan Mu played chess until the evening. Nan Mu stretched and said, "I'm not going to play anymore. I'm so tired from sitting here."

"Okay." Xiao Yi stood up and rubbed her head: "What do you want to eat tonight? I'll have someone prepare it."

"Don't bother. How about we catch a pheasant and roast it? I haven't tried it yet..."
