"Wen Xueqing, do you still want your... cap?"

Wen Xueqing turned her head to ignore her, and was about to leave.

"No, I'll give it to you." Wen Xueqing didn't want to stay here anymore.

She hadn't taken a few steps when Ling Rou grabbed her again.

"So what..." Before she finished speaking, she felt a weight on her head——Ling Rou put the veiled cap back on her.

"Is this angry?"

Ling Rou lowered her head slightly, watching Wen Xueqing through the soap gauze.

"You...I..." Wen Xueqing opened and closed, but didn't know what to say.

At the last moment, Lingrou still asked the teacher to ask the crime, but now she has a soft and easy-to-talk appearance.

The wings of her nose fluttered slightly, Wen Xueqing silently cleared her throat, and said goodbye.

"Auntie still has something to do with me, let's go ahead, please let me go, thank you." She paused, and then said, "If there is anything in the past that caused the little lady to misunderstand and make you unhappy..."

Lingrou stood quietly, surprised in her heart.

Is Wen Xueqing going to apologize?

Squinting at Ling Rou who was posing and waiting for her next sentence, Wen Xueqing made sure that the veil was on securely, and spoke with sincerity and naturalness:

"...The little lady must be thinking too much and thinking wrong! It's better to be open and kind, don't judge others with malice! How can I, Wen Xueqing, be compared to the kind of villain?!"

After the sound of the last word fell, Wen Xueqing stepped back a few steps, and ran away before Ling Rou could react.

Ling Rou: "..." She thought too much, and was scolded back by Wen Xueqing.

After running away from the bamboo forest, Wen Xueqing had time to look back.Ling Rou didn't catch up, and while she was relieved, she was also inexplicably disappointed.

...Obviously not a child anymore, it is no longer suitable for playing chasing games.Thinking about it, Ling Rou, who is mature and stable in the eyes of an elder, would not play such childish tricks with her.

This trick of hers was a trick, she bet on whether Lingrou could react in a flash, why is she not completely happy if she succeeded?

Before Wen Xueqing got entangled, the maid beside Princess Lekang found her and asked Wen Xueqing to go with her to the evening class to listen to the monk's teaching.

"What am I going to do?" Wen Xueqing was surprised. Princess Lekang was not a devout believer before, and no one in the Wen family believed in it.

"Your Highness only said to invite the young lady to come over." The maid bowed to invite, and raised her hand to restrain Wen Liulang who was clamoring to follow.

Since Wen Liulang was not allowed to follow, it would not be serious to listen to the eminent monk's lectures.

The maid who led the way walked Wen Xueqing slowly all the way, and when they arrived at a quiet meditation room, they bowed and left.

Wen Xueqing didn't go in immediately, but stood outside the door, straightened her collar and knocked on the door.

"Zhenzhen? Come in." Princess Lekang's voice.

Wen Xueqing responded, stepped into the room slowly, bowed her head and saluted: "Auntie."

There was a chessboard in the middle of the couch, and an old monk played chess with Princess Lekang with his son.

Behind Princess Lekang, there was no servant girl Wen Xueqing was familiar with, but another young woman stood behind her.

The moon-white gauze dress is elegant, the same color silk belt around the waist wraps up the slender waist, and the hem of the wide sleeves is inlaid with bright fringes, reflecting the candlelight with the owner's movements.

Wen Xueqing had just met this woman.

——Ling Rou.

Princess Lekang threw the chess piece back to the chessboard, clapped her hands and laughed, "I played chess with the master, and I called Zhenzhen here because I was afraid that Miss Ling would be left out in the cold."

Ling Rou smiled slightly, and her voice was as gentle as water: "Thanks to Your Highness for loving me and inviting me here. Ling Rou is very grateful for His Highness's care."

Wen Xueqing's eyebrows twitched, what is Auntie going to do.

Princess Lekang said a few polite words to Lingrou in a calm manner, and then pulled Wen Xueqing to her side: "You are all good boys, I have brought you here this time, and I don't need you to do anything, just sit with me... ..."

Wen Xueqing: "..."

She and Lingrou stared at each other in silence, while Princess Lekang leisurely took the chess pieces on the other side and continued to play a few more steps.

"There are no rules here," Princess Lekang kept watching the two young ladies out of the corner of her eye, took a chess piece and wandered on the chessboard, "What are you doing standing there, come and give me some advice."

"Watch chess without saying a word..." Ling Rou glanced at the chessboard, and now Princess Lekang has the upper hand, "Three against two... It's not kind." Although she didn't think Wen Xueqing could play chess, Princess Lekang always had the upper hand. Taking advantage of the large number of people.

Wen Xueqing didn't respond, and Princess Lekang consciously let go of her burden after giving her the medicine, and she returned to her previous vigorous and resolute temperament.She must have had a purpose in arranging this out.

She had accidentally met Ling Rou here before, but now it seems that it was all arranged by Princess Lekang.Seeing Princess Lekang being so close to Ling Rou, she felt a little uncomfortable.

"That's easy," said Princess Lekang, "Zhenzhen will go to the master's side, and Miss Ling will follow me."

Ling Rou glanced at Wen Xueqing, feeling that it was not good for her to bully others, so she took the initiative to say, "I'll go to the other side."

"Da da da--"

The old monk stood up voluntarily after Princess Lekang finished the assignment.Wen Xueqing sat down directly, knocked on the chessboard with a piece, raised her long eyelashes, and looked at Lingrou with burning eyes: "No, come."

Princess Lekang covered her slightly opened mouth with her hand, secretly laughing in her heart.

——Wen Xueqing knew what she meant.

Looking uncertainly at Princess Lekang, Ling Rou waited for Princess Lekang to nod before sitting down, and continued with the previous mess.

Watching chess without saying a word, Princess Lekang and the old monk brewed a pot of new tea, served with slightly sweet tea and cakes, and slowly spent the night with the sound of the clock ticking.

After burning, the wicks were tangled into knots, and after a few rounds of flower cutting, the rattling on the couch finally stopped.

"It's your turn." Ling Rou reminded.

Wen Xueqing was not in a hurry, but slowly picked up the teacup at hand and drank tea.

"It's your turn." Lingrou said again.

Wen Xueqing put down the teacup: "No more."

No matter how you play it, it's a waste of time - Lingrou is powerless.

Princess Lekang scanned the chessboard with her head, and raised her eyebrows: "Zhenzhen has improved again."

"It's because I'm not good at learning," Lingrou said after a long time, "I made His Highness laugh at you."

Princess Lekang still smiled at Yan Yan: "It's okay, it's okay, I haven't beaten her since Zhenzhen taught herself chess."

Ling Rou looked back at Wen Xueqing in surprise.Princess Lekang's chess skills are not bad, but Wen Xueqing is even better than her.She had never heard of it before.

... No wonder she was still full of confidence when she was assigned to the disadvantaged side by Princess Lekang.

Wen Xueqing hides it too deeply, she is usually not very enthusiastic about boudoir gatherings, unless she competes with herself for the limelight, she always looks indifferent.She doesn't care about other people's eager performance and comments. Wen Xueqing seldom shows it in front of others. She seems to be more enthusiastic about hunting and hunting than the elegant calligraphy and chess.

No wonder Ling Rou formed such a fixed impression.

The defeat has been decided, but Ling Rou is still unwilling to admit defeat head-on. Just now, she even wanted to pretend that nothing happened and continue the game.

Wen Xueqing curled her lips, not quite reconciled.However, Princess Lekang is still there, and she can't do too much.

Besides, Princess Lekang called Ling Rou here to let her know more about the Wen family and prepare for the future.

Who does Princess Lekang want Lingrou to marry?Goro or brother?

Wen Xueqing secretly glanced at Princess Lekang, but still couldn't see what she was thinking.

Now my elder brother followed them to the Shenhu, and Princess Lekang still wanted them to meet and get to know each other.

Wen Xueqing swallowed a mouthful of tea, choking on this thought.

"Ahem..." Ling Rou will soon become her sister-in-law.

Wen Xueqing's cough got worse.

"Water, Zhenzhen." Lingrou put the warm teacup in Wen Xueqing's hand at the right time.

Wen Xueqing hesitated for a moment, but still picked up the teacup.

Seeing Wen Xueqing drink the water given by Lingrou, Princess Lekang's brows and eyes widened, and she relaxed a lot.After getting along so many times, the tense atmosphere between the two little ladies has been reduced a lot.Wen Xueqing would not feel so uncomfortable about the marriage between Wen Ling's family in the future.

Although the two marriages are inevitable, Princess Lekang still hopes that Wen Xueqing can face this marriage with a good attitude.No matter from which aspect, Lingrou is the most suitable marriage partner.

This game of chess tonight was played for Wen Xueqing.

With a thud of the copper bell, the evening class ended.Princess Lekang met with the old monk and left to go back to the meditation room, leaving Wen Xueqing and Lingrou behind.

Princess Lekang allowed Wen Xueqing to go back later so that she could spend more time with Ling Rou.

Wen Xueqing slowly sipped the little water left in the teacup, pretending to have something to do.A pair of eyes dishonestly protruded from above the tea cover, watching Ling Rou quietly.

Lingrou moved freely and smoothly, and brewed a pot of brightly colored tea soup.

"Your Highness is gone," Lingrou said suddenly, "Stop pretending."

The teacup made a loud noise on the table.Wen Xueqing glared at her: "Where am I pretending, what am I pretending to be? What are you doing?"

"You're guilty," Ling Rou said with a very sure tone, "Wen Zhenzhen, it's not good to deceive yourself. I haven't even bothered about your playing with me before."

"Where... where did you play tricks on you?"

"Guilty again, Wen Zhenzhen." Lingrou smiled lowly.

Under the candlelight, the reddish sunburn marks became even more red because of Wen Xueqing's outburst of anger, even more gorgeous than rouge.

Ling Rou admired it with great interest for a while, and unexpectedly felt that Wen Xueqing's behavior was not bad.Sure enough, beauty is good-looking no matter what.

Unable to get around the word "guilty", Wen Xueqing turned to other irrelevant things: "I said I have a character, what's my nickname!"

"Then I'll call you by name." Lingrou followed suit, "It's just that I forgot, why don't you tell me, Zhenzhen?"

"You..." If you don't know the word, you can call her by her first name, but Lingrou just likes to call her by her nickname.

"Don't think that if you marry into the Wen family, you can step on my head. You haven't married yet!"

"When did I say that I must marry into Wen's family?" Lingrou suddenly stopped smiling.

"what?"

Just as Wen Xueqing was about to speak, there was a violent knock on the door.Before the people inside could open the door, an old servant hurried in.

"Lang Jun's urgent letter - Gao, the Gao family, the old lady is gone!"

"What?!" Wen Xueqing jumped up, "Grandmother is gone?!"

The old servant nodded, with a panicked expression: "Yes. Moreover, the old lady walked out of the door after Lang Jun's visit, and now the Gao family blames all of these on Lang Jun!"
