The sight of Madam Li busily tending to matters, and concubine Lin reaping the benefits without lifting a finger, left Daohua feeling downhearted. She sat listlessly in the pavilion, absentmindedly fiddling with the chess pieces.
"I was wondering where you had gone off to, turns out you've come here to find some quiet," Xiao Yeyang approached with a comfortable gait.
Daohua glanced at him, surprised, "Weren't you playing cards with the third brother and the others? How come you're out here?"
Xiao Yeyang sat down across from Daohua and, waving his fan, said, "That card game was a bit interesting at the start, but once you get the rules down and can remember the cards, winning every time is no fun."
Daohua was speechless. So, he was complaining about it being too simple, "You could choose not to remember the cards."
Xiao Yeyang gave a shrug, "That's beyond my control, once I see them, they're memorized."
Daohua pouted, "Here you are showing off to me."
