Lin Chujiu originally planned to send Xiao Tianyao out of the capital and then came back. However, the carriage went all the way outside the capital. And Xiao Tianyao didn't stop it.
"Wangye, where is this going?" Lin Chujiu looked at Xiao Tianyao, who was sitting opposite him.
When Xiao Tianyao came up the carriage, he didn't sit on her side. Instead, he sat opposite of Lin Chujiu.
"When you get there, you'll know. Sleep for a while if you are tired." Xiao Tianyao said and made a gesture for Lin Chujiu to sit on his side. Lin Chujiu silently looked at Xiao Tianyao's long legs and shook her head: "I am not tired." She was bored and she doesn't even know where they are going.
"Since you are not tired, you will accompany benwang to play a game." Xiao Tianyao took out the chessboard from the secret grid. Lin Chujiu's eyes widen in shock: "Why does every carriage have a chessboard?"
"Benwang let people put it, what? You don't like it?" Xiao Tianyao put the chessboard in front of Lin Chujiu: "Benwang will give you a chance ten times."
Xiao Tianyao didn't give Lin Chujiu a chance to refuse, and it will be for multiple rounds.
Lin Chujiu said with a bitter look in the face. "Even if you give me chance one hundred times, I can't win."
"Useless." Xiao Tianyao glared at Lin Chujiu and made a gesture for her to hurry.
"This has nothing to do with success, it's about strength." Lin Chujiu couldn't help but recall the words that Xiao Tiayao had said to her last time, and then put down a piece.
"You finally know you're lacking in strength?" At least she has a bit self-awareness.
*Cough* Lin Chuji almost vomited blood.
She doesn't mean that. Can't he stop being so heartless?
Why the hell did this man come back?
He didn't say a word of comfort. He didn't say a word of care. And now, he said she was stupid and incompetent.
Lin Chujiu gritted her teeth and took a piece, she carefully thought about things before she put it down.
Even if she loses, she can't lose too badly.
Lin Chujiu, who was playing seriously, didn't see the smile on Xiao Tianyao's eyes never disappeared. If she saw this, she would definitely be more angry, after all… …
Xiao Tianyao was only playing with her.
The black and white pieces line one after one another. It was only the first round, but it hasn't been finished yet. However, Lin Chujiu find things getting more and more difficult.
Why she seemed to have no place to go?
Why she seemed to have only surrounded herself?
However, the person who was in more dilemma was Xiao Tianyao.
He tried his best not to use his brain.
He tried his best to compromise.
He can't give in anymore… …
Playing chess with an idiot can really drain one's brain.
Xiao Tianyao felt like he was abusing himself.
Fortunately, the guard outside the carriage saved him. "Wangye, we're here."
"Forget it!" As a result, Lin Chujiu opened her mouth first and went ahead of Xiao Tianyao. As if playing chess with Xiao Tianyao was hell, but God knows the person who suffered the most was Xiao Tianyao.
The two got off the carriage, Lin Chujiu was shocked when she saw the strange, but familiar scenery: "Why did you bring me here?"
There was nothing in the surrounding area, the road is very spacious and very few people come and go. It was obviously a daytime, but the temperature around was very low. Especially in the mountains not far away, it was as if the sun is not shining.
Yes, Xiao Tianyao brought Lin Chujiu to the tomb mountain, and the ancestral tomb of Meng Family was also here. Lin Chujiu was here not long ago, so she found this place very familiar.
"Benwang didn't send Meng Laofuren before. Now that benwang is back, benwang will come to pay respect." Xiao Tianyao said and led Lin Chujiu to the tomb in front.
"Thank you… …" Lin Chujiu opened her mouth, but she was interrupted by Xiao Tianyao: "You and benwang are husband and wife, no need to thank benwang." As if he was speaking military task, people can't hear a trace of warmth in his words. Lin Chujiu doesn't know what to say, so she only kept silent.
The guards were very clever, they prepared candles and paper money in advanced. Because Xiao Tianyao doesn't like to do this kind of thing, the guards took care of all the work.
The Meng Family's tomb has assigned guards. Seeing Lin Chujiu, they automatically lead the way, completely not giving Xiao Tianyao a chance to show off his identity.
Meng Laofuren was buried not long ago. Her grave was still new and her tombstone was clean and has no dust.
After grieving for many days, Lin Chujiu has now finally accepted Meng Laofuren's death.
Lin Chujiu stood in front and placed her offering in front of the tombstone: "Grandmother, I come to see you again. I know you can't leave me, but you can rest assured that I will take care of myself. You don't have to worry about me. You also don't need to worry about uncles and the others, you have been protecting me before, I will protect them later."
"Grandmother, not only me who came here today. Wangye also came to see you. He didn't come back to send you off on your funeral. If grandmother is angry with him, you can get mad at him, I will stand on your side, I won't feel bad for him."
"Grandmother, you see… … wangye is very kind to me. When he learned you had an accident, he rushed back and turned a blind eye on the emperor's wish. Although this kind of behavior is very stupid and not worthy of praise, it is the intention of his heart. After all, I can't ask too much of him, isn't it… …"
"… …"
At first, Lin Chujiu was quite serious, but later on, the whole topic has changed. After being ignored, Xiao Tianyao's face turned black.
What can't ask him too much?
Who has a low demand?
It was him who has no requirements for Lin Chujiu, right?
Xiao Tianyao looked at Lin Chujiu and then looked at Meng Laofuren's tombstone. In the end, he didn't speak, even when Lin Chujiu smeared his reputation.
"Grandmother, you see… I just said that I can't ask too much of wangye. He is cold and arrogant. He doesn't say anything. People around him definitely dislike him because of this. Look at him… … he didn't even look for an excuse."
*Puff* The guards behind them couldn't help but laughed.
He grew up this old, but he had never seen someone came and paid a visit as funny as this.
However, this was also good.
People died, and if their relatives were still blindly immersed in sorrow, the dead won't be able to leave at ease.
"Grandmother, Wangye will go to the battlefield today. If grandfather is with you in heaven, please ask him to bless wangye so that he can win the battle and come back earlier. When he came back, I will take him to see you again."
"… …"
In front of Meng Laofuren's tombstone, Lin Chujiu said a lot of words. Most of them were actually for Xiao Tianyao.
Regarding this matter, Lin Chujiu was sure that Xiao Tianyao understood her meaning. Xiao Tianyao indeed understands, that's why he didn't interrupt her words, even though he felt like Lin Chujiu was only talking nonsense… …
After talking for a long time, Lin Chujiu finally stopped, and because her mouth got dry, she let this opportunity for Xiao Tianyao to speak.
Xiao Tianyao stepped forward and took the incense from the guard. He didn't kneel, he just stood there and worship three times. "Old lady, benwang will take care of Lin Chujiu." After that, he inserted the incense into the incense burner in front of the tombstone.
He simply just paid respect.
"Go." Xiao Tianyao stretched out his hand in front of Lin Chujiu, giving a sign for them to leave.
Lin Chujiu looked at Xiao Tianyao and held his hand, letting herself be pulled by him: "Wangye, thank you."
She knew Xiao Tianyao took a trip entirely because of her, if not… …
This man will never do this kind of thing.
Xiao Tianyao looked at Lin Chujiu's face and faintly said: "We are husband and wife, no need to say thank you."
In this few hours, Lin Chujiu was truly happy… …
