Every time Miss Hong thought she was about to win, Su Xiaoxiao would break through in an instant.  

More and more games concluded, until only their table and the one with the young lady of the Leng family and Qin Yanran remained.  

It was normal for those two to be evenly matched. After all, they were both skilled players.  

But the one she was up against was a girl who grew up in the countryside!  

“Hey, why hasn’t Miss Hong finished yet?” 

“Could it be that she can’t even win against a country girl? I didn’t believe it when I heard her Go skills were worse than mine before—”

“Shh, keep your voice down. She’s a legitimate Qin family young lady, it’s not strange for Miss Hong to lose to her…”

The whispered taunts reached Miss Hong’s ears word for word.

She became so furious that she pointed at Su Xiaoxiao’s nose and said, “You cheated!”

Su Xiaoxiao looked bewildered. “How did I cheat?”

Miss Hong said, “You were eating!”

Su Xiaoxiao turned to the supervising eunuch. 

“Is there a rule against eating?”

The eunuch: “Uhm… no.”

Mainly because no one expected anyone to actually eat during a game—

On the other side, Qin Yanran and the young lady of the Leng family had reached a conclusion.

Qin Yanran narrowly won by half a point.

The two stood up and bowed to each other.

Only Miss Hong and Su Xiaoxiao’s match remained. 

Miss Hong was so anxious that cold sweat poured down.

Because she belatedly realized that while she had seemed to be winning all along, she was actually completely trapped.

How could this be?

Didn’t this girl not know how to play Go?

Why was she still—

Su Xiaoxiao held a black piece, carefully searching for a spot on the board. 

Miss Hong stared at her own fatal flaw, cold sweat pouring down.  

Don’t place it there, don’t place it there… 

Su Xiaoxiao’s black piece paused above.  

Miss Hong nearly fainted.  

“Here!”  

Su Xiaoxiao placed it beside the intended spot.  

Miss Hong instantly felt as if dead wood had sprung back to life, and a white piece locked in her position!  

“White wins.”  

Miss Hong let out a long sigh of relief.  

With that, the final round of assessment concluded.  

The Go masters left one after another.   

They had primarily been observing the match between Qin Yanran and the young lady of the Leng family, paying little attention to the other games, especially the one between Su Xiaoxiao and Miss Hong.  

As they passed by their board, one Go master casually glanced at it.  

By the time he thought to take a second look, the eunuch had already cleared the board. 

“What’s wrong?” His companion asked.  

The Go master said, “Ah, just now… I seemed to have seen an extraordinary game.”  

The companion asked the eunuch, “Who was playing here just now?”  

The eunuch replied, “Miss Hong and Miss Su?”  

The companion asked, “Which Miss Su?”  

The eunuch said, “The Duke Protector’s young lady who grew up among the common people. She hasn’t yet performed the ancestral rites, so she’s still using her rural name.”

The companion looked at the Go master and smiled. 

“You must be mistaken. I’ve never heard of Miss Hong being highly skilled at Go.”  

As for the young lady from the countryside, there was no need to even mention her.  

The Go master nodded. 

“Perhaps so.”  

A game like that, even he couldn’t guarantee that he could play it out.  

—

By the time they left the palace, the evening sun was already slanting westward.  

The night breeze carried a penetrating chill.  

Su Mo stood quietly by the carriage at the palace gates, draped in a silver cloak.  

The young ladies came out one after another, unable to resist and casting curious glances his way.  

Young Master Su, accomplished in both literary and martial arts, elegant as jade, and a man of noble birth, he was also deeply favored by Emperor Jingxuan. 

What girl in the world wouldn’t want to marry such a man?  

The young ladies blushed intensely.  

Su Xiaoxiao walked slowly at the back of the group.  

Suddenly, one young lady fell behind a few steps and struck up a conversation with her.
