    Su Yingxue spent a day at the Marquis’s Manor before Wu Jinyan hurriedly arrived.


    “Yingxue, 1 heard that you’re going topete in a chess match with the Eldest Princess of Qi State. Do you… have confidence in winning against her?”


    Wu Jinyan was always cautious, and his current nervous demeanor suggested that she had already invested considerable effort in understanding Han Yuwen before meeting Su Yingxue.


    This person was challenging to handle!


    In front of Su Yingxuey her mother’s letter detailing her experiences during her travels to Qi State.


    Wu Jinyan knew that Long Shuli’s legacy had greatly assisted Su Yingxue, but even with these resources, winning against Han Yuwen was no easy task.


    This matter should not be underestimated!


    “Sister-inw, don’t worry. It’s just a chess match and winning would be good. If I lose, it’s not a big deal.” Su Yingxue reassured with apparent ease.


    However, Wu Jinyan wasn’t as optimistic. “If it were just a contest between you and Princess Yuwen, I wouldn’t havee looking for you. Life is not just about winning, losing is inevitable. However, Princess Yuwen has invited all the prominentdies in Jiang Du City to the pce to witness your match. She has even generously sent many gifts. Now, not only do thedies know about this, but officials in the court and even some restaurants have discreetly set up gambling venues to bet on the oue of your match against Princess Yuwen.”


    If Han Yuwen lost this time, Su Yingxue would undoubtedly gain more glory.


    However, if Su Yingxue lost, it would be a significant event, reaching the ears of the empress, who held a grudge against Su Yingxue.


    Su Yingxue yfully knocked on the table. “It hasn’t even been a day, and she’s already moved so swiftly and ruthlessly. This Eldest Princess of Qi State truly lives up to her reputation!”


    “Let’s not dwell on this. Do you have a strategy in mind? Do you have to participate in this match?” Wu Jinyan held her hand tightly, expressing his concern.


    Su Yingxue stopped her jesting and picked up Long Shuli’s letter, waving it in front of Wu Jinyan with a confident smile. “Sister-inw, trust me. 1 won’t lose.”


    Wu Jinyan felt slightly reassured.


    Though her chess skills weren’t exceptional, she wanted to lighten the mood with Su Yingxue, so they yed a few games together.


    Despite focusing on the game, Su Yingxue had won three consecutive rounds.


    As she picked up the chess pieces, Su Yingxue patted Wu Jinyan’s hand. “Sister-inw, are you here tofort me or do you have something on your mind that you want me tofort you? You’re so distracted that your hands aren’t listening to you.”


    Wu Jinyan looked at his trembling hands, sighing as if her spirit had been drained. “Yingxue, I have something to ask you.”


    “Sister-inw, go ahead,” Su Yingxue said, tilting her head. Her intuition told her this matter was rted to Su Hao.


    Wu Jinyan bit his lip, eyes welling with bitterness. “Do you think… Will your brother fall for someone else?”


    Su Yingxue was astonished. “Sister, why do you ask this question? He only has you in his heart!”


    Throughout Jiang Du City, many women sought to marry Su Hao. However, Su Hao had not shown interest in anyone in recent years. Wasn’t it because he only had Wu Jinyan in his heart?


    “But in the letter, he sent back this time, there’s a hint of hibiscus fragrance.”


    Wu Jinyan retrieved a letter from her pocket, written in Su Hao’s handwriting. It contained only three sentences. One inquired about her well-being, the second about the Marquis’s Manor, and the third read, “Take care, and don’t miss me too much..”
