Tang Zhuyun said, "If you can't rub it off, then forget it."
Nothing in this world is perfect.
This chess piece is precious; it may have passed through many hands before reaching the Great Confucian Scholar Kong. He probably played with it often, so it's understandable that it has some flaws.
Xiu'er, with her obsessive-compulsive disorder, couldn't stand it. She rubbed and rubbed, but she just couldn't get rid of that Xiaobai dot on the black spot.
Linlin smiled and said, "When the Master asked me to play chess with him before, I noticed that the chess pieces did indeed have some flaws."
Xiu'er wouldn't give up. "Maybe you just didn't clean it properly before. Let me think of a way."
Everyone was amused by her.
Back at the mansion, Yanran followed Tang Zhuyun inside.
Tang Zhuyun chuckled and teased, "If you don't go and bully Cui Xiaoqiu before it gets dark, how can you sleep soundly tonight?"
Previously, Madam Cui strongly opposed her two children playing together, but later she discovered that Cui Xiaoqiu's health was getting better and better, unlike before when he was frail and sickly, so she began to turn a blind eye to it.
Xiu'er and Tang Zhuyun have analyzed this matter.
Xiu'er believed that it was because the Prince of Jin had such a bad reputation that people couldn't figure out his background.
Later, they discovered that the Prince of Jin was an invisible man—he was harmless to the neighbors and animals except for coming and going—so they were relieved.
Tang Zhuyun laughed Zidu hurt.
Yanran replied, "No, I'm not going. Cui Xiaoqiu's maternal grandmother is celebrating her birthday, and she won't be home for the next few days. I want to speak with my father!"
She went in with a murderous aura.
Tang Zhuyun was baffled.
The Prince of Jin had just sat down and poured himself some tea when his daughter stormed over, stood in front of him with her hands on her hips.
"What's wrong?" the Prince of Jin asked good-naturedly.
"Father, I don't like the two cousins Qiao Family."
Tang Zhuyun: "..."
Would the Prince of Jin think that she was instigating Yanran to file a complaint?
Actually, she had originally planned to mention it to Prince of Jin, not to complain, but to clearly tell him that she disliked those two people and should avoid them. However, she did not expect Yanran to be so impatient.
"Huh? What happened to them?"
The Prince of Jin didn't pay much attention to his two cousins, but because of his affection for his uncle, he treated them very politely.
Yanran said, "She's so short-sighted, wanting what belongs to my mother. I'm afraid she also wants my mother herself!"
Prince of Jin: "What kind of talk is this?"
"I don't like the way Qiao Qiao looks at you. How can she be so self-righteous when she asks my mother for things? It must be because she thinks you're biased towards her. Don't talk to her anymore."
My mother once said that family members should speak frankly about anything and not hide anything, so as to avoid misunderstandings from deepening later.
She was already angry about what happened today, so her mother must be even angrier.
The mother was too embarrassed to say it, so she said it herself.
Anyway, Wuji; she's still a child.
The Prince of Jin immediately looked at Tang Zhuyun with a serious expression.
Tang Zhuyun said, "I didn't notice whether I saw you or not..."
Actually, it's fine to look; my man is tall and handsome, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist. He's a walking embodiment of masculinity wherever he goes. Who wouldn't take a second look?
But I can't ask her for anything.
"Qiao Qiao spoke up for me, but I didn't indulge her," Tang Zhuyun said. "I don't spoil anyone except my own child."
The Prince of Jin said, "I'll tell my uncle later."
Tang Zhuyun: "... Forget it, what's the big deal? Zidu can't see anything wrong with him, and he's not some heinous criminal. If you tell him, my uncle might think I'm petty."
"I won't let you suffer any injustice."
"I'm not wronged, and I'm not at a disadvantage," Tang Zhuyun said. "I won't hide it from you either. Judging from their ages, they'll probably get married soon. It's not worth letting them affect your relationship with your uncle."
She paused for a moment, then continued, "Even if no one teaches me, I won't hold it against her."
Prince of Jin didn't say anything at the time, but that night he told Tang Zhuyun that he had wronged her.
She's not the type to swallow her anger.
If she hadn't been afraid of affecting her relationship with her uncle, she probably would have lost her temper on the spot.
"Just a little kid." Tang Zhuyun fiddled with a lock of his hair. "Even his hair is stiff. By the way, why aren't those two engaged yet? Which one has Wei Xuan taken a fancy to?"
"My uncle is too busy and reluctant to marry them off easily, so it's been delayed until now. Wei Xuan has his eye on Qiao Jiao."
Qiao Jiao? That aloof and cold demeanor—is that what Wei Xuan likes?
Tang Zhuyun strongly suspected that it was the shadow left on Wei Xuan by her previous relentless pursuit that made him like the other extreme.
Prince of Jin was thinking that he had originally planned to have Tang Zhuyun help with the marriages of his two cousins, but now it seemed that he should give up on that idea.
I'll just hand it over to Nanny Rong or someone else for help later.
He tried to avoid the two of them afterward to prevent any trouble.
However, considering Tang Zhuyun's feelings, Prince of Jin still said, "Don't worry, your uncle loves them dearly and would absolutely not allow them to become concubines. And I won't take them either."
Tang Zhuyun: "Even if you want it, people might not be willing! What's so great about you?"
Prince of Jin nibbled on her earlobe. "A-Yun, you still don't know how good I am to you? It seems I need to make that impression even stronger."
Here he comes, he's driving here again.
Didi, clocking in.
The Prince of Jin retorted, "This is a luxury car; who would I be insulting by swiping my card like this?"
Didi, check in again.
The Prince of Jin explained that he spared her by waiving the fare only out of sympathy for the weak.
Tang Zhuyun was so tired that she didn't want to move a finger or Zidu. She let Prince of Jin take care of her and went to meet with Duke of Zhou Gong.
The next morning, Xiu'er came in and called Tang Zhuyun.
As she gathered the clothes scattered on the floor, she said, "Your Highness, wake up! Nanny Rong is back."
Tang Zhuyun: "Huh?"
All sleepiness vanished.
Although Nanny Rong was just a servant, her relationship with Prince of Jin was different.
Tang Zhuyun was the only one in the mansion who held her in some awe, after all, she was older and had experienced all sorts of storms.
Looking at the bright sunlight streaming into the room, Tang Zhuyun knew it was definitely late.
Oh no, what will Nanny Rong think of her?
Will Nanny Rong subtly remind me when she comes in a little while, not to keep bothering Prince of Jin?
Tang Zhuyun blushed just thinking about that scene.
Why did Nanny Rong suddenly come back?
