"Master, please teach me quickly. If you teach me, I can help you find things. " Yu Shu urged. She saw the pride in the old man's eyes and snickered in her heart. It was just the first time he was defeated by her. Was it worth being so calculative? He was even more narrow-minded than her.
"Okay."
Qing Zheng put down the two chess bowls, and the chess pieces were mixed together. He pointed at the pile of black and white and said, "Squint your eyes and catch them yourself."
"Ah?" Yu Shu didn't understand.
Qing Zheng demonstrated. He closed his eyes and reached out to catch a handful of chess pieces, "Three black and five white."
He spread his hands, three black and five white.
"Catch them yourself and guess the black and white. It's getting late. Don't disturb my sleep."
Yu Shu: "…"
"What? You don't want to learn?"
"Master, are you kidding me?"
Qing Zheng stared at her, "Do I look like I'm kidding you? Are you going to learn or not? "
Yu Shu gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, and reached out to catch them.
"Learn!"
Qing Zheng saw her obediently go to catch the chess pieces, then he bent down to pick up an oiled paper bag behind him, stood up and said, "I'm going to take a walk outside. You're not allowed to be lazy. "Yu Shu closed her eyes and waved her hand," Master, go. "
Qing Zheng left. He locked the door behind him and leaped onto the roof. His footsteps were light as he stepped over the tiles. Without a sound, he sat down on the patio of the roof of Jing Shang Hall. He opened the oiled paper bag and fished out an oily chicken claw. He stuffed it into his mouth and tilted his head to look down.
Under the moonlight, the little girl sat on the ground and grabbed the chess pieces one by one. The array under her body glowed with a faint light. Looking down from above, it looked like the Northern Star Array.
"Sigh, if it weren't for your poor spirituality, I wouldn't have to waste so much effort. Well, well, this is fate."
Qing Zheng muttered to himself as he finished gnawing on the two chicken feet. Wiping his hands on his clothes, he sat down cross-legged and began to breathe in and out. He wanted to replenish the True Qi he had consumed while drawing the formation. "Sis, Sis, the food is here. Let's eat before we go to bed."
Yu Shu curled her lips and frowned. In a low, muffled voice, he said, "… Step aside …"
"Hurry up and get up. The food will be cold soon. No one will heat it up for you. Come on, come on." Yu Xiaoxiu reached out to tug at Yu Shu's blanket, while Yu Shu used her leg to press down on it. After a while, Yu Xiaoxiu was the first to get angry. He went out to grab a towel and wrung it with the chilly well water, before returning to the room and using it to cover Yu Shu's face.
"Ah! What are you doing! "
Yu Shu tore off the towel on her face and glared at Yu Xiaoxiu with swollen eyes. Yu Xiaoxiu looked at her coldly.
The two people stared at each other for a while. Yu Shu was the first to give up. She pulled her hair and got up from the bed dejectedly. Yu Xiaoxiu turned around to serve the rice. He had the egg soup this morning, and it was the most delicious when it was hot.
After eating, Yu Shu burped and pushed the bowl away. She said angrily, "Yu Xiaoxiu, you can't do this. I'm your sister. Can't you wake me up gently in the morning?"
"Who asked you to go out to play at night? If you go to bed earlier, you won't be unable to get up." Yu Xiaoxiu kept the bowl and chopsticks and took them out to wash. He didn't want to admit that he was angry at her for going out to play last night without him.
Yu Shu gloomily shook the table. She didn't want to say anything. She didn't go out to play last night. She spent the whole night catching chess pieces in Jing Shang Tang. Two of her fingernails were broken. Unfortunately, the steamed old man didn't allow her to tell others. She could only hide it from Yu Xiaoxiu.
She sneaked back from the West Courtyard. She fell asleep immediately. She didn't know why catching chess pieces was so tiring. She didn't even have a dream that night.
Yu Xiaoxiu wiped the table and left with his bag. "I'm going to the private school."
Yu Xiaoxiu left. Yu Shu originally wanted to go back to sleep, but she remembered that she planned to look for Jing Chen today. She had no choice but to go out to wash her face. "Puff, puff, puff!"
After brushing her teeth and spitting out the mouthwash, Yu Shu quietly glanced at the sneaky figure at the entrance of the courtyard. After seeing it clearly, she felt strange. "What is this guy doing here?"
She went back to her room and changed into Yu Xiaoxiu's robe. She tied her hair into a bun and wrapped it with a towel. She went out of the courtyard and looked around. She saw the little fatty who was not far away and was about to run away. She hesitated for a moment and shouted loudly, "Young Master, where are you going?"
Hearing this familiar voice, Ma Weibo stiffly stopped. He dawdled for a long time before he turned around and gave Yu Shu a smile that was uglier than crying. "I, I didn't do anything."
Seeing Yu Shu's dress, he felt strange.
Yu Shu grinned and waved her hand. "Come here." Ma Weibo was scared and took two steps back. When he was about to turn around and run away, Yu Shu's face darkened and shouted, "Come here!"
Ma Weibo walked towards her with fear. When he was about ten feet away from her, he stopped and refused to go forward.
Seeing him being bullied, Yu Shu felt funny. "What's wrong with me? Didn't I just beat him that day? Why do I look like a mouse seeing a cat again?" "Wasn't she quite rampant before?"
"It's so early in the morning. Are you looking for me or Xiaoxiu?"
Ma Weibo immediately waved his hand. "I, I, I'm not looking for you."
It turned out that he was looking for her. Yu Shu interpreted his words and asked, "Why are you looking for me?"
Ma Weibo bowed his head and rubbed his toes. "… I … you …"
"What?" Yu Shu picked her ears.
"No … I … you …"
Yu Shu found that this little fatty was very angry. "Are you a mosquito? Speak louder!"
"I'm not the one who told grandma that you beat me. Don't tell anyone that I peed my pants!"
Yu Shu covered her ears. She was almost deaf. She squinted at him. Not to mention, Young Master Ma's face was red and his eyes were bubbling. His chubby appearance made him look like an easy target to bully. Damn it. This punching bag also bullied her Xiaoxiu.
"Oh …" Yu Shu dragged her words. Under Ma Weibo's nervous eyes, she coldly snorted and snappily said. "How do I know it's not you? You caused me to be beaten up. Do you know that? Look, the mark hasn't even formed yet. "
Yu Shu rolled up her sleeves and stretched them forward. Her forearm was covered in a large patch of black and blue. It was the evidence of Matriarch Ji's beating. Compared to her slender wrist, the black and white were clearly visible. It was a frightening sight.
Ma Weibo was shocked. That day when Yu Shu was beaten, he was also there. He didn't hear her cry out in pain. Who knew that she would be beaten like this. It was worse than the beating he received from Yu Shu.
"I, I … I really didn't say it." He cried and softly refuted.
"Hmph, I was beaten anyway. You tell me what to do." Yu Shu looked angry on the surface, but she was amused. This little fatty turned out to be so stupid. It was really a waste of his muscles.
"Then, then what should I do?"
Yu Shu suggested. "Why don't you let me hit him back?"
"Ah, ah?" Ma Weibo was dumbfounded. Want, want to be beaten?
"Stand there and don't move. I will only hit you once. After that, I won't argue with you." Yu Shu raised her hand.
Ma Weibo shivered. His eyes showed fear. He remembered the day when Yu Shu hit him with a pole. He was afraid of Yu Shu. He was more afraid of her than he was of his father. She was not afraid of him telling on her. She was not afraid of being punished by the adults. She really dared to hit him.
"Say something. Are you going to hit me or not? If you don't, I will tell everyone that you peed your pants." Yu Shu threatened.
Ma Weibo looked at her raised palm. His legs trembled. He was about to cry, but he couldn't say a word.
"If you don't say anything, I will take it as a yes. Heh, see if I don't hit you."
Yu Shu raised her palms and made a strange gesture. She waved her hands down. Ma Weibo was so scared that he squeezed his eyes shut. But the next moment, he opened his eyes in pain.
"Ouch!"
The pain that fell on his face was not the same as being slapped. He howled and looked up at Yu Shu in panic. However, he saw that there was no longer any ruthlessness on her face. There was only a teasing look in her eyes.
Yu Shu pinched the little fatty's cheeks and shook his face back and forth. Seeing his dazed expression, she couldn't help but laugh. She let go of her hands and gently patted his head, saying, "In the future, you are not allowed to bully Xiaoxiu. He doesn't have a father, his surname is not Ji, and he is not your relative. But he still has relatives and an older sister. If you bully him again, I will definitely beat you. As for you peeing your pants, don't worry, I won't tell anyone."
After teasing the little fatty, Yu Shu waved her sleeves and walked away in a good mood.
Little Fatty Ma was left standing in the same place with a red face. Only when Yu Shu's figure disappeared did he lower his head and cover his burning cheeks. The previous fear had disappeared and was replaced by a flustered feeling. His mind was filled with the teasing smile of his older sister from the Yu Family.
From that day on, Ma Weibo felt that there was nothing good about the stinky brat surnamed Yu, who lived under his Third Maternal Uncle's name. Except for one thing, he had an older sister, which made people very envious.
"Young Master, Young Master, where are you?"
Ma Weibo ran to the Ji Family early in the morning, but he was nowhere to be seen. Several servants searched the courtyard for him, afraid that he would be beaten again like last time.
"Stop shouting, I'm here!"
Ma Weibo's thoughts were interrupted, so he turned his head and shouted at the people who came looking for him. He rubbed his face and angrily strode over, ready to teach those annoying stinky things a lesson.

Yu Shu wandered out of the Ji Residence early in the morning. The first place she went to was the riverside where she and Yu Xiaoxiu had flown a kite the other day.
The day before yesterday, when she parted ways with Jing Chen in front of the city gate, he said that he wanted her to go to the pine forest in the east of the city to find him. Yu Shu didn't know how many pine forests there were in the east of the city, but she knew that there was a plum blossom forest by the river. She vaguely felt that Jing Chen was talking about that place.
It wasn't good to go to see someone empty-handed, so when Yu Shu passed by Changmen Street, she bought a bag of jujube cakes. They were cheap and had a lot of jujube cakes. That day, when they came back from the suburbs, they ate this kind of cake. She thought that Hero Jing Chen liked this kind of cake.
