Back and forth, a quarter hour had already passed.
Only then did Lu Zhenghua bring up the reason he had asked for her presence.
While playing chess, he casually said, "They say those who play chess are delicate in thought and full of patience. So, how is it that you, a young lady, came to vex Li Tong in such a rash manner?"
Jing Yiren calmly continued her chess game, lightly laughing as she responded, "How can you call it vexing? It's nothing more than giving as good as you get."
She had just seemed like a playful spirit, but now was speaking so wisely.
Lu Zhenghua had only met Jing Yiren three times since she married Lu Ming and did not understand her well. Most of what he knew about her came from gossip.
However she presented herself, Jing Yiren did not seem to be a woman who was licentious, unfaithful, vulgar, or disrespectful. On the contrary, he found her to be quite sly, a straightforward woman who was not one for games!
