So I play chess

Chapter 215
Li Mao only felt that some of the speculations made by his eldest lady in recent days were not so rigorous and credible, but in the end they often proved to be true.

The same was true for Tang Mingyi's matter. Although he felt that the eldest lady was right, but there was no real basis after all, so Li Mao couldn't believe it completely.

Moreover, for the time being, he still couldn't figure out the reason why Tang Mingyi hid his identity in order not to lose his home, but he should investigate these instead of asking Missy again, so he didn't elaborate on this matter.

However, Wen Gu gave a negative answer to his question just now: "Our Mr. Tang probably made the same guess, but I always think it shouldn't be. Go and check, even if there are some clues, it is better than us here. It's better to speculate."

Li Mao also couldn't tell what kind of standard his eldest lady used to judge "groundless speculation", which was different from his own, but the truth was the same, so he should say "yes".

It's almost the same here, the guards outside came through the door and asked if they could come in to answer, and after getting Wen Gu's positive answer, they came in and said: "Miss, Mr. Zheng is back."

"It's about the same time, President Zheng won't keep him for dinner, even if he wants to stay, Mr. Zheng probably won't be able to eat." Wen Gu smiled, and then asked, "But he came back by himself?"

The guard replied: "No, Mr. Zheng rented a carriage and brought people back."

Li Mao also took advantage of the situation and said: "Miss is right, Mr. Zheng really brought Mrs. Tian back."

Wen Gu glanced at him and said, "Don't feel sorry in your heart. Maybe he will be more useful to you when he comes back like this."

Li Mao didn't argue, just bowed his head and said yes with a smile.

"Have the people brought back by Mr. Zheng been settled?" Wen Gu asked again.

When the guard heard this, his face was a little embarrassed: "The man was brought back, but... it seems that there are other things. For now, I will just sit down in the side hall of the outer courtyard temporarily, accompanied by the safe servants in the mansion."

Seeing the appearance of the guard, Wen Gu's heart tensed at first, but he relaxed after thinking about it. If it was really an important matter, he shouldn't have such a repentant attitude: "Mr. Zheng is coming to see me?"

"Exactly." The guard replied, "I'm waiting outside now, waiting for the eldest lady to summon me."

Wen Gu then ordered: "Call him here. He is from Tongcheng, and he may not know which tree in the city can bear half a month of mulberry early. Let him come and see what Li Mao is capable of."

The guards went to fetch them when they got the order. Li Mao took the opportunity to be humble and said a few more jokes, such as: Miss Yu, please don't tell Marquis Yu that I took some loquats from Yang's mansion before, and almost didn't let Yu go. Pending punishment, thanks to a few words with Zhou Dutong, it can be regarded as making up for the mistakes.

After saying a few words here, Zheng Bairen arrived, and Wen Gu handed over the plate, wanting to say something: "Mr. Zheng came just in time, come and try something new."

But before he could say anything, Zheng Bai walked closer and knelt down in front of Wen Gu with a "plop".

Wen Gu didn't expect him to appear in such a way, holding the plate in his hand and froze in mid-air, and looked at his face, which seemed a little unusual, and said to Li Mao after a while: "Mr. Zheng is not standing still, please help."

After speaking, he quickly waved his hand to let the guard retreat.

But Li Mao was about to go to help, but Zheng Bai raised his head and said seriously: "Miss."

Only then did Wen Gu see clearly that the left side of his face was slightly red and swollen, and there were still a few red marks on it. It was obvious that he had been slapped hard, so it was not good to ask this first at this time, so he said, "Mr. Zheng, what is the meaning of this?" ?”

"Miss Zheng Bai thanked me for saving my mother and child. From today on, Zheng Bai will serve Missy in front of the saddle and drive her horse forward. There will be no complaints or disagreements."

When Wen Gu heard this, he didn't have any joy on his face, and he still said to Li Mao, "Help him up".

Li Mao wanted to move again, but Zheng Bai remained unwavering, arguing a few words like "Maybe Miss thinks my skills are low, I can learn everything".

Wen Gu had no choice but to sigh and asked Li Mao to explain it to him.

"Mr. Zheng, you helped us once in this matter, and the eldest lady gave you back the favor. Even if the matter is worse, your life and death will not be in danger. It is nothing more than a new one." It’s just a comfortable place to live.” Li Mao supported Zheng and waved his arms, and continued, “In this way, you can easily kneel down. If someone else will give you more benefits than now, will you miss it more? With his favor, make a more ruthless oath?"

Li Mao's words were not tactful. After hearing this, Zheng Bai felt that he would not know how to do it, so he retorted: "Master Li doesn't know how important this matter is to us... to me. I definitely won't..."

Before Zheng Bai finished speaking, Li Mao stopped him and said, "Mr. Zheng hasn't been through life and death yet, so it's hard to come to a conclusion right now."

Seeing that Li Mao didn't believe him, and the young lady didn't stop him, Zheng Bai had no choice but to say: "Even if Master Li said, if there is someone else who is kind to me in the future, I will never owe the young lady's kindness today. "

Li Mao asked: "What if that person has enmity with the eldest lady? Or what he wants to do is contrary to the eldest lady's plan?"

Zheng Bai thought about it carefully, and said again: "Then I will die, and naturally the two will not bear the burden."

Li Mao also sighed: "Even if the eldest lady treats you as her own, she will never dare to tell you important matters."

"Why?" Zheng Bai finally looked at Li Mao with a puzzled expression on his face.

Li Mao said solemnly: "Since it is an important matter, it must be related to the lives of many people. If someone treats you kindly during the process, you will be in a dilemma, and you may simply die. It seems that the favor of both sides has been fulfilled, but in fact this matter is useless. Now, we don’t know how many people on our side will die because of this, when the time comes, who do you want us to go to? Now that we have such worries, how dare we entrust the matter to you?”

After hearing this, Zheng Bai didn't know how to express his sincerity, he was anxious and angry, and simply asked: "But I really only want to persuade the eldest lady, how can I trust me?"

"It's not that I don't believe you." Wen Gu finally said, "You were not from my family in the first place, and now you can't talk about some years of friendship. I think you can help me, and I know you are willing to help me, but for you It's definitely not a momentary mood, you don't even know what I'm going to do, why did you sell your life to me?"

Zheng Bai argued again: "But no matter what..."

Wen Gu simply stopped him and said, "Since Mr. Zheng has settled in my house, he will have a brighter future, so there is no rush."

Zheng Bai had no choice but to give up, no longer talking about the topic just now, but said: "I don't just mean this, I have another matter to ask the young lady for sin."
