He didn't answer, but poured himself another cup of tea and took a sip. "Are you familiar with Prince Jin?"

Su Manman frowned, "Not familiar."

"What do you think of Prince Jin?" he asked again.

Su Manman's face turned cold. "Whether he is good or bad, what does it have to do with me?"

When the other person heard her words, the cold aura around him melted away.

"Come here and have some tea."

He entertained them warmly again.

This Ye Mo is really weird.

Su Manman couldn't guess what he was thinking.

She didn't eat much for breakfast.

She was really hungry now.

who cares!

What can a homosexual man do to her?

After realizing this, she picked up the tea with confidence, took a few sips, and then naturally picked up the pastry and started eating.

"Can you play chess?" He took out a set of black and white chess pieces from a secret compartment.

"know a little."

"Let's have a plate."

"Row."

The chessboard is set up, two players hold the pieces, one black and one white, and start playing chess.

Su Manman hasn't played chess for a long time.

Over the years, she had to look for the herbs needed to prepare the antidote, take care of her body, practice martial arts, and work hard to earn money to prepare for the future.

So, she hasn't played chess for many years.

However, in her previous life, she often played chess.

With the Master, with Ye Zhi, and with the Queen Mother.

Occasionally, when Ye Zhi and Ye Mo were playing chess, she would serve them tea and water.

So, she had some understanding of his chess style.

I was holding a lot of resentment in my heart, but I couldn't express it through words or actions.

So, she didn't give in at all in the game of chess.

He fought with his chess pieces with the determination to risk everything.

Ye Mo stared at the chessboard, and seeing her black pieces fighting desperately, the corners of her mouth raised slightly.

He was in no hurry.

She attacked, he defended.

She defended, he attacked.

Even when attacking, he always left room for her, forcing her into a dead end, and secretly giving her a glimmer of hope in a secret place.

Therefore, whenever she was in a desperate situation, Su Manman would look annoyed, then look at the chessboard carefully, and suddenly her expression would be surprised, her eyes shining, and she would place a piece proudly, raising her eyes as if in a provocation.

Check it out!

I am alive again.

Your chess skills are not that good either!

The more proud she was, the happier he became.

She is so vivid that she is more like the person who is free and relaxed in the psychedelic forest.

Before they knew it, they had played four games of chess.

Two losses, one draw and one win.

Su Manman lost twice.

She was just trying to win back the game she lost.

Qingluan was outside the carriage and whispered, "Miss, we'll be at the city gate soon."

Su Manman put down the chess piece and said, "Your Highness, if my mother's illness was not serious, I would not ask for repayment."

"If Your Highness considers my sincere desire to save my mother and my filial piety, I beg Your Highness to grant me a piece of Ice Stone."

"Of course, the Ice Stone is precious. If Your Highness needs to make any further demands, I will do my best to meet them."

She said it seriously, with a serious face.

He put away the chess pieces on the chessboard with one hand, looked up at her eyes, and said thoughtfully: "Play chess with me."

"Huh?" Su Manman thought there was something wrong with her ears.

What does this person mean.

"Your Highness, what do you mean..." she had to repeat herself and ask.

"Your chess skills are good. If you play chess with me for a year, I will give you a piece of ice stone."

There is such a cheap thing in the world.

"Your Highness, a gentleman's word is as good as gold." She asked anxiously.

"On call," he added.

What is on call?

He couldn't possibly ask her to play chess at night.

"Okay, deal."

She smiled happily, as a difficult problem that had been bothering her was finally solved.

"Your Highness, you are such a good man." She couldn't help but praise him.

Being praised, he couldn't hide the smile on his lips, "Remember your promise."

"Don't worry, I'll keep my word."

In a good mood, she jumped off the carriage happily and ran to get on the carriage in front.

Ye Mo looked at the two plates of pastries on the table.

Most of the Poria cocos cake was eaten.

There are also several pieces of peach blossom pastry missing.

He picked up one of the Poria cocos cakes, took a bite, and savored the flavor carefully.

……

The carriage entered the west city gate and headed towards the Su Mansion.

In the car, Su Manman had to tell her mother everything about Su Tinggui's injury.

As expected, Lin was panicked and at a loss after hearing the news.

It took less than half an hour to get from the city gate to the Su Mansion, and she was in a daze.

Before the carriage stopped, she jumped out anxiously and ran quickly into the mansion.

"Master, where is the person?" She caught a servant and asked anxiously.

"The master is recuperating in Lanxin Garden."

Lin ran to Lanxinyuan in a hurry, and she walked so fast that she almost fell down several times.

As soon as they entered the gate of Lanxinyuan, Cuiliu rushed out of the house and stopped several people.

"The master has fallen asleep, please go back, madam."

"How is the master?" Lin asked in a low voice, "Is his leg feeling better?"

Cui Liu said with a stern face, "How is the master's injury? When Madam sees him, she can ask him in person."

"When will he wake up?" Lin asked anxiously.

"I don't know." Cui Liu was clueless. "Since the day the master came back, his health has been damaged and he's been drowsy all day."

"Then when can we go in to see him?" Lin asked again.

"I don't know." Cui Liu answered again.

Cui Liu deliberately blocked them to intimidate them.

Su Manman supported Lin's shaky body and said softly, "Mom, don't worry. Let's go back first. When Dad gets better, we'll come visit again."

"But..." Lin hesitated.

Qingluan still has the ability to judge the injuries of the people she personally rescued.

Su Manman replied coldly: "Don't worry, he's fine."

"Are you okay?" Suddenly, a woman's angry voice came from the side: "Unfortunate star, how could our Su family give birth to such an unfortunate star like you!"

At the archway, Old Lady Qian came over on crutches, stood behind the two men, and shouted in a loud voice, "My son injured his leg while looking for you two unlucky people. How about you?"

"You guys came back alive and well, and you said he was fine."

"What exactly does it mean to be in trouble?"

"Would it be okay if he lost his leg or died?"

Old Madam Qian was so angry that she kept hitting the ground with the cane in her hand.

The bluestone floor was pounded with a loud "dong dong" sound.

On weekdays, Lin was used to being scolded and blamed. When Old Madam Qian yelled, her legs suddenly became weak. If Su Manman hadn't supported her, she would have hardly been able to stand.

When it comes to arguing with hands on hips, Taohong has never lost.

She was used to wandering around the world and didn't care about the rules of the wealthy families.

She was so angry that she wanted to step forward to seek justice, but was stopped by Su Manman.

"Go, help the lady."

Taohong reluctantly turned around and supported Lin.

Su Manman took a step forward and said with a faint smile, "Grandma, since you said so, your granddaughter will ask a question."

"For the past ten years, my mother has gone to Baiyun Temple almost every month to burn incense and worship Buddha, and she has never been late."

"Why did you stay here this time? What did Aunt Liu do?"

As soon as she said this, a sharp shout came from inside the house, "Su Manman, stop spreading rumors."
