Needless to say, Lord Miao suffered a crushing defeat after the first round. He stood there in a daze as he stared blankly at the pathetic-looking chess board. His gaze was blank, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Yun Zhiqiu sipped his tea leisurely, occasionally glancing at Qin Weiwei, who was also staring at the chessboard in a daze.
Qian'Er and Xue'Er stole glances at each other. They knew that their Master had lost terribly, and it was probably hard for him to accept this reality.
After a long time, Yun Zhiqiu unsheathed his sword and tapped it on the chessboard, breaking the silence. "Niu Er, are you still playing? I told you I'd let you have twenty stones, but you didn't believe me. If you're not convinced, I'll let you have twenty stones first, and then we can have another round. "
Miao Yi snapped out of his daze and raised his head to look at his opponent. His Adam's apple bobbed up and down with great difficulty. 'What's the point of continuing? He's being completely dominated by his opponent and can't even put up a fight. Continuing won't change anything.' He squeezed out an extremely ugly smile, "Madam, when did you learn it?"
This was a question that Qin Weiwei was also concerned about. She looked over with some trepidation.
Yun Zhiqiu said disdainfully, "I fell asleep on a chessboard when I was three years old. When do you think I learned to do that?"
Qin Weiwei instantly bit her lips. Miao Yi, on the other hand, widened his eyes. He jumped to his feet and asked, "Didn't you say you don't know how to play?"
Yun Zhiqiu scoffed. "With that lousy Go skill of yours, any random person around you would be able to beat you. I saw that everyone was going easy on you and didn't want to embarrass a man like you, so I pretended that I didn't know how to play. You actually took it seriously!"
Miao Yi's expression twitched as he said, "If you've won, then you've won. I admit defeat. I admit that your Go skills are superb. I didn't expect you to be this good either. I've underestimated you. If you say that anyone by my side can beat me, then you're really underestimating me. If you don't believe me …"
Bang! Yun Zhiqiu abruptly slammed the table and stood up. "Niu Er, how long are you going to keep being so arrogant?" Niu Er asked angrily.
Bang! He turned around and kicked the chair behind him. Swoosh! He pointed his sword at Qian 'er and Xue' er. "You two! She clearly knew that her master was a terrible chess player, and clearly knew that her master's chess skills were terrible, but she blindly went along with him. As the personal maid by his side, as the person by his side, as the person who slept by his side. Yet, you don't even dare to speak the truth to Master. Do you think this is loyalty to Master? Look at how he has been spoiled by all of you. He can't even bear to listen to the slightest bit of rebellious words. He doesn't even know the immensity of heaven and earth when playing chess. If this goes on and he is surrounded by people like all of you, he won't even be able to listen to the truth. Sooner or later, he will be killed by all of you. All of you … deserve to die! "
These words really struck at the heart. His words were too harsh. Qian 'Er and Xue' Er's faces instantly turned pale. They fell to their knees and lowered their heads, not daring to look up.
Qin Weiwei, who was sitting at the side, also stood up. Her expression was very ugly, and she also lowered her head, not daring to say a word.
Miao Yi's expression was terrible as well. He barked, "Qian'Er, Xue'Er. Tell me honestly. Did you guys ever go easy on me in a game of Go?"
Yun Zhiqiu had exposed the truth, and he found it hard to accept this reality. He had always believed that his Go skills were superb, and that he rarely lost.
The two girls lowered their heads even more, not daring to make a sound. Miao Yi was no fool. The two girls' silence was a sign of their attitude.
Miao Yi abruptly turned to look at Qin Weiwei, and said in a deep voice, "Weiwei, tell me the truth. There's no need to be afraid of Madam. Did you ever go easy on me in a game of Go?"
Qin Weiwei was at a loss. She didn't know how to answer.
Yun Zhiqiu walked behind Qin Weiwei. She placed a hand on Qin Weiwei's shoulder, and Qin Weiwei's body visibly trembled. She laughed coldly and said, "This little sister of mine isn't going easy on you. Dear Husband, not only do I have to think of a way for you to win, I also have to think of a way to make you happy when you win."
The moment Yun Zhiqiu said that, Qin Weiwei immediately felt ashamed. She wanted to turn around and leave, but Yun Zhiqiu used her arts to hold her down, preventing her from moving. The difference in their cultivation levels was too great.
Seeing Qin Weiwei's reaction, Miao Yi gritted his teeth, and said word by word, "Why?"
"Why?" Yun Zhiqiu chuckled. "Niu Er, your EQ is really low to the point of being retarded. You don't understand a woman's thoughts at all. Tell me why? She wants you to be happy when you win. Only when you're happy will you remember to look for her when you're playing Go in the future. You're her superior. If you don't look for her, how can she get close to you? There's no reason it's so difficult for her to even enter the palace! She's long since given her heart to you, and she's always liked you. It's just that you're like an idiot who doesn't know how to flirt, and she's too embarrassed to ask for it. Thus, one is interested, while the other is heartless. Thus, they've been stuck together for so many years. "
She turned to Qin Weiwei and asked, "Little Sister, do you think I'm right?"
Kneeling on the ground, Qian'Er and Xue'Er secretly exchanged glances. Actually, the two of them had already sensed it a long time ago. When a woman looked at another woman, they would always be able to understand a woman's thoughts better.
Miao Yi, who was still in a frenzy, was completely stunned when he heard this. He quickly calmed down, and looked at Qin Weiwei in shock.
How could an inexperienced woman like Qin Weiwei endure the fact that she had been thinking about her man all this time? Qin Weiwei's expression was so embarrassed that she was practically dripping with tears. Her figure flashed as she tried to escape, but Yun Zhiqiu pinned her down on the spot. Yun Zhiqiu chuckled, "Little Sister, this idiot doesn't know how to flirt. Since we've already made our intentions clear, why don't we cut to the chase today? Let's put an end to this once and for all. That way, we can save ourselves the pain and suffering that we can't afford."
Qin Weiwei trembled as she said, "I know I was wrong. I won't do it again!"
"Wrong? What wrong?" Yun Zhiqiu asked curiously. Then, she cheerfully said, "If you like him, then you like him. I might as well cut to the chase today. I've long known that you like this idiot. Why do you think I acknowledged you as my little sister? Why do you think I gave you a cultivation technique? Why do you think I keep telling you that I'm going to help this idiot find a concubine? I'm just saying all of this for you to hear. Even now, you still don't understand Big Sister's intentions? Big Sister has long since accepted you. All this while, I've been waiting for you to nod your head. As long as you say something and nod your head, I'll help you make the decision. But you're really too introverted. You just won't say anything. Even if you're not anxious, I'm anxious for you. Let's not beat around the bush today. Just give Big Sister a straight answer. Are you willing to marry this idiot? If you are, I'll help you arrange it immediately. You don't have to worry about anything. You just have to wait to marry into the family! "
'Shame! Aside from shame, there's nothing else! ' Qin Weiwei's face was red and her heart was beating wildly. She bit her lips tightly. How could she say whether she was willing or not?
Miao Yi's mouth was slightly agape as he stood there in a daze.
Yun Zhiqiu kept urging Qin Weiwei to express her stance, but Qin Weiwei still found it hard to speak. In the end, Yun Zhiqiu decisively said, "Little Sister, if you don't say anything, I'll take it as you agreeing."
She couldn't run, and she couldn't hide either. Qin Weiwei was on the verge of breaking down. She glanced at Miao Yi, who was standing there in a daze with a bloody hole in his chest. In the end, she whispered in a voice as soft as a mosquito, "I'm afraid Milord doesn't like me …"
'Fine! I'll take it as a yes! ' Yun Zhiqiu immediately looked at Miao Yi and said, "Niu Er, a living beauty like this is standing in front of you. Why don't you nod your head!"
"Ah … this …" Miao Yi was also flustered. He didn't know whether to nod or not to nod.
Yun Zhiqiu was instantly enraged. "She's just a woman, and yet she's already put it this far. Are you even a man?"
Miao Yi suddenly felt like he was about to cry. He couldn't bring himself to agree to it directly. He was still a little confused and didn't understand what was going on. He could only frown and say, "Even if I agree to this, Yang Qing won't agree to it!"
"Little Sister! His words mean that he has agreed to it! "Yun Zhiqiu immediately decided on the matter, cutting the Gordian knot with a swift and decisive move.
She then dragged Qin Weiwei by the arm and walked towards the inner room. When she passed by Miao Yi, she suddenly lifted her skirt and ruthlessly kicked Miao Yi's calf. She really didn't hold back at all. Deep down, she was filled with hatred. No woman would be willing to do such a thing. If she didn't vent her anger on this man, who else could she vent it on?
"Ah …" Miao Yi screamed in pain, hugging his leg as he jumped up.
Qian'Er and Xue'Er quickly got up with trepidation and hurriedly helped Miao Yi to sit at the side. Miao Yi reached out and grabbed each of their arms. "Tell me honestly. Don't lie to me. Am I really that bad at Go?"
Qian'Er and Xue'Er were put in a difficult position. They looked at each other and finally nodded silently.
Miao Yi was speechless …
He didn't know what the two women whispered to each other in the room, but when they came out, Yun Zhiqiu was all smiles. Qin Weiwei's face was as red as an apple, and she lowered her head, not daring to look at Miao Yi.
Miao Yi wanted to say something but stopped himself. The two women completely ignored him and left together. They left the palace together. Miao Yi chased them outside and ran to the observation deck. He saw that the two of them had gone to the Grand Steward's manor together. He let out a long sigh and said, "This woman is crazy. When I get back, Yang Qing will definitely fight me to the death!"
The situation was clear. Qin Weiwei had both looks and status. She was already a Hall Master at such a young age, so she wouldn't have to worry about marriage at all. Even if she was his adopted daughter, Yang Qing would never allow her to become someone else's concubine. There was no way in hell she could do that.
He didn't care anymore. He didn't have the face to interfere in this matter. In any case, it was definitely not going to happen. He would just let Yun Zhiqiu be rebuffed on her own. However, when he saw Yang Qing later, it would be so awkward. Wouldn't this be driving Yang Qing apart? He didn't know what this crazy woman was thinking. She was actually trying to find a concubine for her own man. What a weirdo!
Inside the Grand Steward's manor, when Head Steward Yang saw the Palace Lord personally arrive, he naturally bowed respectfully. However, he also noticed that something was wrong with his daughter.
Qin Weiwei was too embarrassed to be present. She immediately excused herself and hid in her own room.
In the main hall, after Yun Zhiqiu made her intentions clear, Yang Qing's face turned green. Qing Mei and Qing Ju, who were serving tea to the side, also frowned.
Pursing his lips, Yang Qing patiently listened to Yun Zhiqiu's words. He tried his best to calm himself down, and said expressionlessly, "Palace Lord! I am incompetent, but I cannot allow my own daughter to become someone else's concubine. Even if I were to be killed, Yang Qing would never agree to it! "
Yun Zhiqiu smiled and said, "Head Steward Yang, Hall Master Qin is no longer a child. Shouldn't you ask for her opinion first?"
