In front of Lei's house.
As soon as the carriage appeared in sight, Lei Shuo walked down the steps.
When the carriage arrived and stopped, she looked at the back of the first carriage strangely.
Why is there still a carriage
But she was still very happy and reached out to lift the car curtain.
As soon as Lei Shuo moved his hand, the car curtain was opened by a big hand.
Fu Lie appeared in the carriage, and Lei Shuo subconsciously took two steps back to let him get out of the carriage.
"Why are you here? Aren't you in charge of the Fengya Building case? My family didn't send you an invitation, right?"
Under Lei Shuo's series of questions, Fu Lie helped Wen Qingzhu down.
Lu Tao and Xi'er got out of the car behind.
"Su Huo helped him. He just came here today when he was free." After Wen Qingzhu stood firm, he explained for Fu Lie.
Lei Shuo looked at Fu Lie with disbelief.
During the recent period, Su Huo went to Zhou's house every day, and the emperor deliberately refused to let him take charge of this case.
How could he take the initiative to help Fu Lie
But would Fu Lie go to Su Huo for help in order to accompany Wen Qingzhu to Lei's house for a banquet
Lei Shuo subconsciously thought not.
The family dinner was held in a small garden of Lei's house.
As soon as he arrived in the garden, Wen Qingzhu saw Jin Yuanbao sitting opposite Lei Xiao.
He was staring at the chessboard in front of him, scratching his ears and cheeks for a while, looking very embarrassed.
"Grandpa! They're here." Lei Shuo led them inside, calling to the people over there.
Lei Xiao and Jin Yuanbao looked up at the same time.
"Xi'er!" Jin Yuanbao stood up directly. Because he was so anxious, he knocked his knee on the small table, and it was so painful that he burst into tears.
Xi'er was speechless when her name was called. She closed her eyes and didn't want to answer at all.
Wen Qingzhu looked sideways and said, "Yuanbao is calling you."
"Miss, can I ignore him?" Xi'er really didn't want to pay attention to Jin Yuanbao and didn't even look at him.
But Jin Yuanbao has already arrived.
"You decide for yourself." Wen Qingzhu did not ask any more questions, but came to Lei Xiao to say hello.
Lei Xiao nodded and asked the boy to bring two more stools over.
He pointed to the location of Jin Yuanbao and said to Wen Qingzhu, "Sit here."
Wen Qingzhu sat down, and Fu Lie and Lei Shuo followed suit.
Jin Yuanbao came from the lowest level of a poor family, and he had almost no contact with the field of piano, chess, and painting.
So the game of chess in front of him was basically Lei Xiao teaching and giving in at the same time, and both sides were full of flaws.
After watching for a while, Wen Qingzhu asked: "When does Mr. Lei want to end this game?"
Lei Xiao glanced at Fu Lie beside him, stroked his beard and smiled: "I have a lot of time, but some people don't have much time."
"Well, as soon as possible." Fu Lie looked at Wen Qingzhu without changing his expression.
These straightforward words made Wen Qingzhu's face burst into red.
But she still responded with a good one.
Since it was a fast chess game, Wen Qingzhu naturally concentrated on it, and after a moment of deliberation, he made the move.
Lei Xiao was also a master at playing chess, and he lost the piece immediately.
In less than half an hour, Lei Xiao won.
Wen Qingzhu said with great respect: "Master Lei's chess skills are getting better and better."
"Not bad." Lei Xiao nodded, looking at Wen Qingzhu with a look in his eyes.
Wen Qingzhu's heart skipped a beat: "Is there any problem?"
Lei Xiao looked away and moved his gaze to the chessboard: "No problem, I just think your chess style looks familiar."
"I have learned a lot of things, maybe a little bit." Wen Qingzhu felt a little nervous. After Jiang Guogong said those words, Wen Qingzhu no longer dared to take it lightly.
Lei Xiao didn't ask any more questions and let Lei Shuo help him go.
Wen Qingzhu and Fu Lie were left in this small garden.
After sitting down, Fu Lie gave her a cup of tea: "Drink some water first."
Wen Qingzhu took the water glass and drank it in one gulp, feeling better now.
"Want to get up and take a walk?" Fu Lie had already stood up.
Wen Qingzhu nodded and stretched out his hand.
Fu Lie gently helped her up, turned around and started walking along the path of the small garden.
Neither of them spoke, and only sporadic footsteps could be heard in the quiet garden.
About a quarter of an hour later, the rustling of leaves came from outside the wall of the small garden.
Fu Lie immediately protected Wen Qingzhu behind him and stared at the source of the sound warily.
A few moments later, a dark shadow appeared on the wall.
After he stopped, Wen Qingzhu opened his eyes wide.
Fu Lie frowned slightly: "Why do you show up like this?"
It was Lei Yan who was squatting on the wall. He looked nervously towards the door of the small garden.
Then he lowered his head and said, "The emperor is here, and he is bringing Princess Dejia with him! Fu Lie, please leave quickly!"
Fu Lie stood still.
Wen Qingzhu thought for a moment, Jiang Yue brought Dejia here, he must have known that Fu Lie was here.
"Weizhi, you..."
Before Wen Qingzhu finished speaking, Fu Lie firmly held her hand: "I will make it clear to the emperor!"
"Not yet!" Wen Qingzhu was moved and confused at the same time.
Lei Yan, who was squatting on the wall, couldn't bear to watch when he saw their reluctant drama.
He couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"Fu Lie, my grandfather asked me to come here. He said you'd better stay away!"
Wen Qingzhu thought of some possibility, and his heart trembled, and he firmly pushed Fu Lie's hand away: "Let's go! I can handle things here myself."
Fu Lie looked into Wen Qingzhu's eyes and suddenly felt that his strength was far from enough.
After a few moments of silence, Fu Lie turned his head and jumped onto the wall with a leap.
When he lowered his head, Xi'er was grabbing the trembling gold ingot and made a "leave first" gesture to Fu Lie.
Fu Lie and Lei Yan left.
Xi'er picked up Jin Yuanbao's back collar, turned over and entered the small garden.
Wen Qingzhu and Xi'er looked at each other, turned around and sat down on the chessboard.
When Wen Qingzhu changed the chess game, Xi'er pressed Jin Yuanbao onto his seat and told him, "Don't reveal the truth then! The emperor knows chess games very well."
"Okay, okay." Jin Yuanbao said quickly.
Thinking back to what happened just now, he was still scared.
Lei Yan suddenly rushed over and asked Xi'er to take him to Wen Qingzhu.
Without saying a word, Xi'er picked up the back collar that was holding his fate, and followed Lei Yan all the way over the walls to the outside of the small garden wall.
After just taking a rest, Xi'er climbed over the courtyard wall without a word of warning, causing him to do a full circle reversal.
"Be serious!" Seeing that he was distracted, Xi'er slapped him hard on the shoulder.
The slap made Jin Yuanbao's shoulder sink, the pain was excruciating, and a scream came out.
There were footsteps outside the small garden, and Xi'er immediately retreated behind Wen Qingzhu.
Jin Yuanbao knew that this matter could not be discovered by the emperor, so he immediately looked down and found that the chess game was exactly as it was when he left.
Suddenly his expression turned bitter as he thought of the memory of being tortured by Master Lei.
After a while, the eunuch who carried the message shouted: "The emperor has arrived."
Wen Qingzhu and Jin Yuanbao immediately stood up and stepped forward to greet him.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, I will attend to see you, Princess."
"The humble minister joins the majesty and the princess joins."
Jiang Yue looked at them doubtfully, then raised his eyes and scanned the garden, but found no trace of anyone else.
After he withdrew his gaze, he raised his hand to level them.
Then he asked Jin Yuanbao: "Have you been playing chess here?"
Jin Yuanbao had never lied much before, let alone lying to the emperor.
He was so nervous that he couldn't help but raise his hand to wipe the sweat.
This scene made Jiang Yue understand immediately, and his eyes looked at Wen Qingzhu with a lot of depth.
Wen Qingzhu replied calmly: "Your Majesty, we have indeed been playing chess, but Master Jin doesn't know how to play chess. When Master Lei left, he was unwilling to play. I have been forcing him to play chess."
"Really?" There was no emotion on Jiang Yue's face.
I walked directly to the chessboard, looked down, and the doubts in my heart came back.
The situation of this chess game really looks like Lei Xiao’s teaching style.
However, he still felt that with Fu Lie's skills, ordinary people would definitely not be able to stop him.
"Yuanbao, sit down. I'll sit down with you." Jiang Yue sat where Wen Qingzhu and Lei Xiao had sat.
Jin Yuanbao could only sit down.
When it came time for him to make a move, Jiang Yue frowned.
This scene fell into Jin Yuanbao's eyes, and his head suddenly started to sweat even more.
Mr. Lei's good-natured temperament before made him a little angry. I'm afraid the emperor will be even more angry.
Jiang Yue followed suit and followed Lei Xiao's lead.
But he didn't know that Jin Yuanbao's brain circuit was different from ordinary people's, and his position completely avoided the escape path Jiang Yue left for him.
"How many times have you played chess?" Jiang Yue was a chess player, so he couldn't help but say something.
"Ten, more than a dozen times." Jin Yuanbao directly raised his sleeves and wiped his sweat.
Jiang Yue had doubts and decided to find out.
If this game of chess was really played by Jin Yuanbao, at least he must be familiar with it.
While they were playing chess, Wen Qingzhu and Jiang Dejia stood behind two people respectively.
Occasionally, Wen Qingzhu looked up and saw Jiang Dejia's eyes full of apology.
Wen Qingzhu smiled slightly.
After a while, Jiang Yue finally gave up, and his doubts about Wen Qingzhu disappeared.
He was very sure that this game of chess was indeed played by Jin Yuanbao.
After he finally stopped playing chess, Jiang Yue stood up, looked at Wen Qingzhu and said, "I have something to do with Mr. Lei, so you can stay here with Dejia."
"My daughter, I obey." Wen Qingzhu obeyed the order.
After sending Jiang Yue away, Xi'er dragged Jin Yuanbao away and left with him.
Jiang Dejia waved his hand and asked the accompanying servants to wait outside.
"If you don't mind, princess, you can sit down and chat." Wen Qingzhu raised his hand to invite.
Jiang Dejia shook his head: "No, just say it, I won't promise my father!"
"Will the Emperor really take your opinion into consideration?" Wen Qingzhu laughed, surprised that Jiang Dejia could be so naive at times.
But this just shows that Jiang Dejia still likes Fu Lie.
I don't know why, but this time, Wen Qingzhu didn't feel any fluctuation in his heart.
If Fu Lie marries Jiang Dejia, the Yang family's matter will be more likely to be overturned.
"He's right here. I'll let him come to you."
After saying this, Wen Qingzhu left.
As she passed by Jiang Dejia, her wrist was suddenly grabbed.
"Qingzhu! You have to believe me! I really never said a word to my father that I like him!" Jiang Dejia found that she couldn't see Wen Qingzhu clearly.
She couldn't help but panic in her heart. Fu Lie loved Wen Qingzhu so much, and she could see everything from behind.
If the situation in the father's court is stabilized and Fu Lie is no longer needed, the father will definitely grant the marriage.
Whether it is her or Fu Lie, if they don't accept it, they are resisting.
Now that everything Fu Lie had finally gained was gone, his life might be ruined.
Wen Qingzhu slowly turned back, looked into Jiang Dejia's eyes, and said calmly: "Dejia, I know what you are like, but now we are all helpless unless he dies."
Jiang Dejia was shocked, and instantly released Wen Qingzhu's hand, saying in disbelief: "You are going to..."
Wen Qingzhu shook his head: "No, that's why I asked you to see Fu Lie. Sometimes we make too many calculations, and it might be self-defeating."
After leaving the small garden, Wen Qingzhu asked Yang Liu to deliver a letter to Fu Lie.
She knew that Fu Lie had not left and was just outside the small garden wall.
He must have heard those words.
