Both father and son turned their heads as she called out.
Yu Jingting, with his face to Suizi, sneakily but subtly stole his dad's cannon chess piece.
Suizi looked conflicted.
"Fan Hui has gone on a teaching mission and won't be back for some time. And Liu Xi is pregnant. What do we do?"
She had originally given the "pitiful mother" who lost her child the idea of having another one as a spiritual sustenance for the rest of her life.
Although everyone knew that the child could not be Fan Hui's, having him around at home could at least provide some semblance of face-saving.
Now that he's gone, how would Liu Xi become pregnant?
"Oh, I thought it was some important matter. Like this? Check mate! Dad, you lost"
Yu Shuisheng turned his head, saw the chessboard, was suddenly furious, and flipped the board over.
"Damn kid, you stole my cannon!"
"What did you say when you moved my piece? If you didn't see it, it's not stealing!"
