Wang Qingyi and Zhou Min's faces instantly darkened. This Meng Angge was simply being too arrogant!

Su Yuejian tilted her head slightly.

"Princess Minghua, why is she silent? Are you afraid?"

Lin Mengran knew that Meng Ange wanted to humiliate her and provoked Su Yuejian.

"If you don't dare, you can admit now that you are not as skilled as others. The title of a talented woman is just an empty title."

Su Yuejian chuckled and said coldly, "What if I win? Does Princess Yilun have anything that can compare to this mermaid's tears and lose to me?"

This sentence left Meng Ange and Lin Mengran speechless. Xie Jiusi had just said that one mermaid's tear is worth seven cities.

Not to mention seven cities, they don’t even have something priceless.

Seeing the two of them not speaking, Su Yuejian curled her lips, supported her chin and frowned slightly, looking very embarrassed.

"It's not that I don't agree, it's just that you can't afford the bet, so let's forget about the bet."

How could Meng Ange be willing to give up? He said anxiously, "No matter how expensive these mermaid tears are, they are still bought with money. If I lose, I can just give you silver!"

Lin Mengran looked at Meng Angge in confusion. Give money?

How much silver would it cost to buy seven cities? Even ten Meng families wouldn’t be enough!

Although Meng Ange felt a little guilty, he had already said it.

Wang Qingyi sneered. How shameless of you to say such empty words? If Yue'er agreed to you, she would be a fool!

But the next second, Su Yuejian responded, "It's a pity that I prefer gold to silver."

Xie Jiusi thought of Su Yuejian coming to see him. Every time he saw a big box of gold, he would smile happily.

She lowered her eyes and smiled. Yes, she really liked gold.

He turned to look at Gan He, "I remember that Jinfulai on Heyang Street seemed to be owned by the Meng family."

Gan He immediately understood and replied, "Yes, it's the Meng family's gold shop."

Xie Jiusi also raised his chin. "Although a gold shop is far inferior to the Mermaid's Tears, but apart from Jin Fulai, the Meng family doesn't seem to have anything else to show for it."

Meng Angge's face looked very ugly. Meng Angge's father came from a humble background and was only a fourth-rank official in the Ministry of Rites. The family had relied on her mother's dowry to support them over the years.

This is also why she is willing to play with Lin Mengran. Lin Mengran's mother is a merchant. In order to please the noble ladies in Beijing, she is very generous in spending money on gifts.

She went out dressed like this today, she was really trying to look impressive.

Jin Fulai was the most valuable shop in her mother's dowry and one of the best gold shops in Kyoto.

She had originally wanted to provoke Su Yuejian into accepting the bet, but she hadn't expected that she would use the Mermaid's Tears to turn the tables on her. This time, she was in a difficult situation.

She noticed that the noble ladies and talented men who had received their number plates had not yet left and were watching them from afar.

She clutched her dress tightly, gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, then Jin Fulai!"

"Okay!" Su Yuejian responded, "With Patriarch Xie as a witness, Princess Yilun must not break her promise."

"Of course!" Meng Ange

Xie Jiusi looked at Su Yuejian, the smile in his eyes deepened, "Okay."

Xiao Chengchang immediately said, "And this king."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Although Su Yuejian's expression did not change, his tone was very respectful.

But Xie Jiusi clearly saw that after Xiao Chengchang spoke, the smile in her eyes instantly disappeared, and there was even a bit of...disgust.

Xiao Chengchang was being pulled by Meng Angge beside him and did not notice the change in Su Yuejian.

Xie Jiusi's eyes darkened.

Meng Ange looked at Xiao Chengchang and tightened his grip on the silk fan.

She is confident in her chess skills.

Su Yuejian had never participated in a chess competition, so she probably didn't know that those who could get good rankings in this chess competition were all outstanding.

How can a blind person who has been blind for many years play chess? Even if her eyesight has recovered, it has only been a few months. How could she possibly beat her who has been learning chess since she was a child!

She will definitely trample this bitch under her feet in front of Xiao Chengchang today!

Wait until she makes a fool of herself and loses face, and then we’ll see how she can seduce her cousin Chang!

Xie Jiusi and Xiao Chengchang went upstairs, and Meng Ange and Lin Mengran immediately followed.

Wang Qingyi and Zhou Min looked at Su Yuejian with some concern, wondering if she was being impulsive. Compared with a gold shop, the Mermaid's Tears was not a good deal at all.

But Su Yuejian was not worried at all, and she was holding Su Wan and whispering something happily.

"Sister Wan, didn't you say you wanted to save some money and take over a few farms in Jiangling? Well, now it's done! We're getting rich! It's like a pillow just when you were about to fall asleep! We're so lucky!"

Su Wan was slightly stunned. She didn't expect that Su Yuejian had remembered the little thing she mentioned casually that day.

Seeing her cunning smile, Su Wan also curved her eyebrows and nodded with a smile.

It's not that they are lucky, it's that she is lucky to meet this precious sister.

In fact, Su Yuejian could have taken money from his own vault, but if he gave too much to Su Wan at once, it would probably be too eye-catching.

Seeing that Su Yuejian didn't seem worried at all, Wang Qingyi and Zhou Min were relieved.

Shen Wenshu looked at Meng Angge with some sympathy. When she saw Su Yuejian able to decipher Shen Sibai's chess book that day, she knew that Su Yuejian was an excellent chess player.

This Meng Ange... is bound to lose.

Shen Wenshu retracted her gaze and smiled at Su Yuejian, "Then let's meet at the chess field. I hope to have the opportunity to play against you."

"Okay." Su Yuejian nodded with a smile.

Looking at Shen Wenshu's back, Wang Qingyi whispered to Su Yue,

"Is this Shen Wenshu, the most beautiful woman in Kyoto? She is truly as gentle and beautiful as her name suggests. I heard she has been betrothed to the crown prince."

Su Yuejian remembered that in her previous life, Shen Wenshu was married to Prince Gong as his principal wife. However, Prince Gong was cruel and persecuted his brothers. He also favored Su Xuewei alone. Later, he made Su Xuewei the queen, so the ending of her previous life should not have been very good.

Fortunately, she was not promised to Prince Gong in this life. The Crown Prince is respectful and virtuous, much better than Prince Gong.

Su Wan said, "Sister Wang is well-informed about this."

"Hey, of course!"

She loves gossip the most! Wang Qingyi said with a smile,

"I heard that Miss Shen has been in love with the Prince Regent for many years, but now she has become the Crown Princess. It really is fate that plays tricks on people."

Su Yuejian was stunned. In love with...Xiao Heng?

"Miss, I have received it!" Fire Fox ran back and said.

"Then let's go quickly!" Wang Qingyi pulled a few people up to the second floor.

In the competition venue on the second floor, Zhou Min and Zhou Wangzhi looked at the number plates in their hands. The brother and sister looked at each other blankly, and then turned their gaze to Wang Qingyi beside them.

Wang Qingyi was looking at the competition venue when she suddenly saw their gazes and laughed dryly.

"Why are you looking at me, little carrot head? Your place is over on the men's field. Go quickly."

Zhou Wangzhi looked at her coldly.

Wang Qingyi touched her nose. How could this little kid look so scary at such a young age?

"So...why should we participate?"

Zhou Min was very confused. She had never participated in any competition at the Hibiscus Flower Festival in previous years, let alone Zhou Wangzhi.

"Hey, isn't participation the most important thing? Since we're here, don't you agree, Firefox?"

Wang Qingyi turned his gaze to Firefox.

Firefox,? Miss, don't call me!

She forced herself to smile and said, "Yes, Princess Langning, you see Princess Minghua and Miss Su are both attending. It's so lively with so many people!"

After she finished speaking, she bit her tongue. Haha, what nonsense was she talking about?

The hall was full of people participating in the chess competition, and they wouldn't need a few more people to make it more lively.

"Does the young marquis know how to play chess?"

Su Yuejian looked at Zhou Wangzhi with some concern.

Zhou Wangzhi immediately raised his head with a childish smile, "Sister Yue, I can do it! Wait, I'll win and show you!"

After saying this, he asked the servant to take him to the men's section.

Su Yuejian blinked and looked at Zhou Min. Zhou Min shrugged, indicating that she should ignore him.
