Reborn Young Lady's Peerless Grace

Shen Wanru stood there, suppressing the anger in her heart, forcing a stiff smile on her face, and said hypocritically: "Sister, we sisters have always been close. You are so outstanding today, and I am really happy for you." Her voice sounded gentle and kind, but her eyes revealed jealousy that was hard to conceal.

Shen Wanqing's face was filled with a sincere smile, and she responded with clear eyes, "I'm really pleased that you think so, sister."

Shen Wanru watched everyone praising Shen Wanqing endlessly, and her heart grew increasingly uncomfortable. She felt as if the laughter and joy around her were like thorns piercing her heart. She wanted to turn around and leave this place that had made her lose face.

However, just as she was about to move, Shen Wanqing reached out and grabbed her, saying with a smile, "Sister, let's go to the chess competition venue together."

Shen Wanru was extremely unwilling in her heart, but she couldn't show it under the gaze of everyone, so she had to endure it and follow Shen Wanqing to the chess competition venue.

Arriving at the chess competition venue, I saw that the servants had already set up the chessboard neatly, with a box for drawing lots beside it. Traditionally, the opponents for the two-way duel were determined by drawing lots.

Shen Wanxiu took the lead and took out a ball of paper from the box. After that, she turned to look at Shen Wanqing and said with a smile, "Fourth sister, come here."

Shen Wanqing smiled and declined: "Sister, please go first." As she said that, she pushed Shen Wanru to the front.

Being pushed to this point, Shen Wanru had already cursed Shen Wanqing a thousand times in her heart, but she still had a smile on her face. She took her hand and said, "As long as you master the skills, I think this blindfolded chess game shouldn't be difficult to play. But Fourth Sister herself hasn't learned to play chess for a few days, so I think it will still be a bit difficult for her to play blindfolded chess. Why not cancel it?"

"Since Big Sister also thinks this blindfold chess game is not difficult, then we must play it today. It will also allow others to broaden their horizons!"

"I think it's quite interesting." Shen Wanxiu's eyes sparkled, and she looked eager to try. "Then let's play blind chess."

Since no one knows how to do it, just treat it as a new thing. If you lose, no one needs to laugh at each other.

This was exactly what everyone else was thinking, and since no one objected, it was decided. After agreeing on the rules of the game, they started with the first round of two-on-two games.

Shen Wanru stretched out her hand reluctantly, grabbed a ball of paper at random, held it in her hand but was reluctant to open it.

"Sister, please open it and take a look." Shen Wanqing urged.

Shen Wanru had no choice but to slowly unfold the paper. When she saw the opponent's name written on it was Shen Wanqing, she couldn't help but be shocked. Although she thought the coincidence was a bit too much, the note in her hand was indeed real.

Seeing this result, Shen Wanqing showed a look of surprise on her face, "Oh, sister, this is such a coincidence!"

Although Shen Wanru was skeptical, she could only accept the result. She was confident in her chess skills and thought that dealing with a rookie like Shen Wanqing would be easy, and she would definitely win the match easily.

The two sat down in front of the chessboard, ready to start playing, when Shen Wanqing suddenly suggested, "Sister, how about we try something new today?"

When Shen Wanru heard this, she immediately objected, "No, let's follow the previous rules." She felt that Shen Wanqing was deliberately making trouble and trying to disrupt her rhythm.

"Don't worry, sister. This new way of playing will not invalidate the result of drawing lots. It just adds some fun." Shen Wanqing was not annoyed and explained slowly.

Seeing this, Shen Wanru snorted coldly, "What good ideas can you come up with? Don't embarrass yourself here."

Shen Wanqing sneered inwardly, but remained calm on the surface. "Sister, in this new game, the first round is still a normal game to determine the winner. Then, in the second round, we will solve the endgame. Everyone can put out the endgame that they think is difficult to solve. If the problem-setter cannot be solved, they will get one point; if the problem-solver can solve it, they will also get one point. In the end, whoever has the most points will be the winner."

Shen Wanxiu listened from the side and was very interested in this new way of playing. "This is interesting. I have read many chess records and have many unsolved endgames in my mind."

Shen Wanqing smiled and nodded, then continued to explain: "However, for the sake of fairness, each person can only ask one question at most."

Although Shen Wanxiu felt somewhat restricted, she was still full of anticipation: "That's fine, at least there's something fun to do."

At this time, someone in the crowd exclaimed: "This game is too difficult. I'm afraid I have to quit."

Shen Wanqing looked at Shen Wanru and couldn't help but praise her: "Sister, your chess skills are superb. This blindfold chess game must be no problem for you. You will definitely be able to handle it with ease."

Shen Wanru glared at Shen Wanqing fiercely and cursed in her heart: "This bitch clearly wants to embarrass me." But in front of everyone, she couldn't refuse, so she had to agree.

Shen Wanqing knew that she wanted to use this competition to tear off Shen Wanru's disguise as a "talented woman" and let everyone see her true face. Shen Wanru was currently thinking about using her chess skills to reverse the previous defeats in the zither and poetry competitions.

The competition officially began. In the first round, Shen Wanru launched a fierce attack from the start, trying to quickly defeat Shen Wanqing. However, Shen Wanqing remained calm and composed, taking each step steadily.

"Hmph, let's see how long you can hold on."

Shen Wanru snorted in her heart, she was confident about this situation.

Shen Wanqing smiled slightly. She was going to teach this always cold and arrogant Shen Wanru a lesson today.

As the game progressed, Shen Wanru gradually discovered that Shen Wanqing was not as easy to deal with as she had imagined. Her offensives were repeatedly resolved, and she couldn't help feeling anxious.

"Don't panic, don't panic." She warned herself secretly.

At this moment, a barely perceptible light flashed in Shen Wanqing's eyes. The opportunity she had been waiting for was about to come.

Finally, Shen Wanqing seized a flaw in Shen Wanru's game, and with one move, the situation was instantly reversed.

"Ouch!" Shen Wanru exclaimed, beads of sweat appearing on her forehead.

The audience around also began to whisper.

"I didn't expect Fourth Miss Shen to be so skilled in chess."

"This game of Miss Shen is probably in danger."

Shen Wanru gritted her teeth and tried desperately to save the situation, but in the end, she was powerless. In the first round, Shen Wanqing won.

"Sister, thank you for giving in." Shen Wanqing said with a smile.

Shen Wanru's face turned pale, and she said bitterly, "Don't be too proud too soon, there are still two games to go."

The second round of the endgame began, and Shen Wanru took the lead in setting out the endgame she had prepared. This was an extremely complex situation, and she looked at Shen Wanqing confidently, "Let's see how you solve it."

Shen Wanqing stared at the chessboard, lost in thought. As time passed, a smug smile gradually appeared on Shen Wanru's face.

Just when everyone thought Shen Wanqing couldn't solve it, her eyes suddenly lit up and she reached out and placed a piece.

"Wonderful!" someone couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

Shen Wanru's smile froze instantly. She never expected that Shen Wanqing could actually untie it.
