Chapter 26: The Game
Si Jingmo coughed for a while before he came to his senses, looked at Huo Yubai who was buried in his head, and then looked at Huo Yuqi who was smiling next to him, not knowing what to say at all.
"Daddy, why don't you answer?" Huo Yuqi pouted, his face disappointed.
Si Jingmo was helpless, "Don't say anything about eating, let's eat quickly." ”
"Oh." Huo Yuqi lowered his little head and ate obediently.
Si Jingmo was really afraid of him, afraid that he would ask some questions that he couldn't handle, this little guy knew too much.
Huo Yubai struggled to lower his presence until he ......
Huo Yuqi ate a lot of shrimp and a lot of meat, and she couldn't stand it after eating too much.
Silently put a few chopsticks and vegetables into Huo Yuqi's bowl, and served him a bowl of clear soup.
Huo Yuqi instantly collapsed, pursed his mouth, and looked at the vegetables in the bowl with disgust.
"Qiqi doesn't like vegetables." Si Jingmo said.
Huo Yu stared at Huo Yuqi with cold eyes, and said slowly, "Qiqi, eat quickly." ”
Huo Yuqi nodded very aggrievedly, "Oh." ”
Huo Yu hooked his lips and smiled, "That's good!" ”
Si Jingmo was full of surprise, this ...... Qi Qi also listened to Huo Yubai's words too much, right?
After a while, all three were full.
"Sister Yu, I want to drink water."
Huo Yuqi leaned lazily on the back of the chair, his little hands touched his round belly, and the expression on his little face was satisfied.
"Just finished eating, drink less."
Huo Yubai poured half a cup of boiled water.
Huo Yuqi took the water and slurped and drank, and after drinking, he put down the cup, feeling more supportive, he didn't want to move at all, and he didn't want to say anything.
Quiet in the private room.
Huo Yubai and Si Jingmo sat opposite each other, and when they didn't speak, they looked a little embarrassed.
"Does Miss Huo Er know how to play chess?" Si Jingmo's deep eyes looked at Huo Yubai, and his tone was quite gentle.
Huo Yubai nodded.
Si Jingmo got up, walked to the discussion area in the private room, and took out two chessboxes made of sandalwood and a wooden chessboard that could be folded from the dark compartment under the low table in front of the main seat, and placed the chessboard on the low table.
He sat cross-legged on the cushion equipped with a low table, and looked at Huo Yubai who was standing not far away with a deep gaze, "Miss Huo Er, what are you still doing in a daze?" ”
Huo Yubai's expression was indifferent, he found a soft cushion, stepped forward, and sat cross-legged opposite Si Jingmo.
Si Jingmo opened the chess box and placed the box containing the sunspots on Huo Yubai's right hand, "Second Miss, please first." ”
Huo Yubai nodded slightly, took a black piece from the chess box, and landed in the upper right corner with his first hand.
Si Jingmo then fell.
Huo Yubai followed.
The two of you went back and forth, basically without thinking or pausing.
Si Jingmo raised his eyes and looked at Huo Yubai, "I only know that it is rumored that Miss Huo Er is weak, but she doesn't know that she can play a good chess hand." ”
Huo Yubai's expression was indifferent, "King Jing praised, the little girl's level of chess playing is average, but she was idle when she was young, she liked to play against herself, and over time, she mastered some skills." ”
Si Jingmo's eyes were slightly dark, Nie Rujin also likes to play against herself, is it true that people who live in seclusion and have a withdrawn personality have this preference?
"Miss Huo Er, forgive this king for taking the liberty of asking you a question."
Huo Yubai looked at him, "King Jing, please ask." ”
Si Jingmo pondered for a moment and spoke, "About six years ago, Miss Huo Er and the prince of the Royal Prince's Mansion were married, was what happened on the wedding day framed, or was it ......
This king did not intend to inquire into Miss Huo Er's private affairs, but this king was investigating the cause of the death of the eldest lady of the Nie family, so he asked this question. ”
Huo Yubai smiled lightly, "The prince doesn't have to ask so carefully, after many years of things, I don't care about it for a long time."
Back then, something did happen, I was calculated, I lost my innocence, and I still don't know who killed me.
Early yesterday morning, Xia Zhi, the girl of my Huo family, accused me of buying a murderer and beating Du Shi in Jingzhao Mansion, which made me pay attention to her.
After I returned home, I checked the time when Xia Zhi entered the Huo family, which was at the end of July six years ago.
At that time, I had just been engaged to Prince Prince.
Therefore, I suspect that Xia Zhi was instructed by someone to enter the Huo family for the purpose of sabotaging my marriage with the prince of the royal prince.
The eldest lady of the Nie family also had an accident at about that time, and it is not ruled out that the murderer behind the scenes is the same person, and the prince can start with Xia Zhi, maybe there will be a breakthrough. ”
In fact, she wanted to talk about Nie Rujin's situation, but Huo Yubai and Nie Rujin had no intersection in the past, and she talked too much, which made people suspicious.
can only rely on Si Jingmo to investigate step by step.
Si Jingmo pursed his lips, his eyes were dark, and the white chess piece in his hand fell, "Miss Huo Er has any suspicions about the mastermind behind the scenes?" ”
Huo Yubai immediately fell and said lightly, "I don't go out of the house often, and I haven't offended anyone in the past, if you say the object of suspicion...... There are.
The Royal Prince's Mansion, the Tang family, and the Meng family.
It is not impossible for the prince of the royal prince to like Tang Miaoyun, the eldest lady of the Tang family, to harm me for Tang Miaoyun and deliberately sabotage his marriage with me.
If the Tang family is concerned, I don't know Tang Miaoyun, and I don't know if Tang Miaoyun likes the prince of the royal prince, but I just suspect it casually.
As for the Meng family, it was because the eldest lady of the Meng family became the princess of the royal prince, and the day before Xia Zhi framed me, I had an unpleasant encounter with the princess and Miss Meng San in the garment shop, so I was suspicious. ”
Si Jingmo was thoughtful and left a son, "It shouldn't be possible for the Meng family, Tang Miaoyun likes King Ling, and now she is Princess Ling." ”
Huo Yu's white eyes flashed slightly, Tang Miaoyun turned out to be Si Lingye's princess, the chess pieces in her hand fell, and her lips hooked, "Lord Wang, I won." ”
Si Jingmo looked at the chessboard, his eyes deepened, Huo Yubai was the second woman to win him, and the first was Nie Rujin.
Huo Yubai's chess style is very stable, the number of paths is somewhat similar to Nie Rujin, and he is relatively conservative and less ambitious.
Back then, when he played chess with Nie Rujin, the woman who usually looked cold and indifferent was ambitious on the chessboard, killing all sides, and not giving the opponent a respite.
He lost half of the way back then, and he was unwilling, and he wanted to play against her again, but she stopped playing.
She said that if she wins once, as long as she doesn't play against him, she will always win him.
Today, he didn't play chess with his heart, and Huo Yubai was also very casual, and as a result, he lost half a game.
is also losing, but he is not unwilling back then, and the only one who can make him competitive is the one back then, and the rest, winning or losing is not important.
"Miss Huo Er has played chess well, and if there is a chance in the future, you and I can play another game."
Huo Yubai smiled lightly, "If you don't play, you will win King Jing once, as long as you don't play the game, you will always win, and you are very proud to say it." ”
Si Jingmo was stunned, his sturdy body was tense, he subconsciously held his breath, and his deep eyes looked at Huo Yubai.
The woman smiled smartly, different from the person who was as cold as frost back then, but ......
