So I play chess

Chapter 216
Although Zheng Bai was far from holding grudges, he was still very angry and could not review Li Mao's reaction to his statement.

He only felt how grateful he was in his heart, how ambitious he was when he said these words, and even how much face he lost by kneeling, only he knew.

However, in exchange for the attitude of the other party, how can I be happy in my heart?
But whether it's shame or anger or grievance, in fact, after Li Mao gave him that example, this emotion was overshadowed by another emotion.

It's not that he understood the possibility Li Mao mentioned, but that there is one thing right now. Although it is not the same situation as what Li Mao said, it can be considered that he has violated the orders of the young lady, and may even affect the young lady's life. plan.

But for Wen Gu, what he said with Li Mao was just to lay the groundwork for Zheng Bai.Of course, I don't expect Zheng Bai to be able to understand her meaning once, but this energy must have been buried in the heart of this scholar, and Li Mao's training of his mind in the future must also divert this energy into a pair of Zheng Zheng. A truly beneficial force in terms of pendulum.

Right now, the Zheng family's affairs are done, and Zheng Bai will not be needed for a period of time, so there is still some time for him to gradually understand more truths.

So Wen Gu didn't get too entangled in this matter, he just asked: "What's your matter, just say it, why is this necessary?"

Zheng Bai still looked ashamed, and said: "I didn't achieve what the eldest lady ordered, but instead made my own decisions and made other decisions temporarily."

He knew in his heart that Li Mao's words just now revealed some of what they knew about Zheng Bai's actions. Moreover, since Mrs. Tian has arrived and has not lost her home, the young lady should know about it too.

But after all, it is appropriate for Zheng Bai himself to speak formally about this matter, so Wen Gu didn't stop him, just asked him to explain in detail.

So Zheng Bai simply told the eldest lady what he thought after he took the order, what he did after arriving at Zheng's house, how he cooperated with Mr. Lu, and how the two masters Sun and Zheng reacted. .

And in the process, he also made no secret of how he knew how to act like this was inappropriate, but still couldn't bear the impulse to temporarily change his mind, and finally followed Zheng Tong's meaning all the way down, explaining carefully clear.

Wen understood everything, but he didn't mean to blame: "I sent you to do this, and I was indeed worried. It is true that you came out at this time, it is not in line with my plan, but it is human nature. It's more reasonable. Now that it's like this, if I don't want to make things difficult for others, it will be my fault."

Zheng Bai didn't know how to speak in such a situation without losing sight of the center, but since he was telling stories to others and he himself had heard many legendary stories, he followed the common situations in the books and said sincerely: "Missy is so sympathetic to me. I'm really ashamed, and I'm grateful from the bottom of my heart. But the more this is the case, the more I feel that this matter has not been done, and I am ashamed of the young lady. I only hope that the young lady can lower the punishment, so that Zheng Bai can feel at ease for a while."

Wen Gu sighed, and said: "Since what I said is human nature, it seems unreasonable for me to punish you with this. Since I am not lost, since I recruit talents, naturally I shouldn't be too harsh because of these common senses. Menke, if this matter gets out in the future, how can anyone come to join me? Is Mr. Zheng going to put me in this situation?"

"Miss... I have no such intention." Zheng Bai quickly praised, "It's just that I feel really guilty in my heart. If Miss doesn't give me some punishment, I... I will go on a hunger strike for three days as self-punishment."

Hearing that he thought of such an idea, Wen Gu couldn't hold back a chuckle: "That's not necessary, you should get up and talk first, I just happened to tell you the reason here."

The eldest lady asked Zheng Bai to get up again and again, if he was still kneeling here it would be annoying, Li Mao hurriedly helped him up again, Zheng Bai finally stopped insisting, thanked him, then stood up and bowed his head to the side, and said : "Miss, please speak."

Wen Gu was not in a hurry to speak, first glanced at the red marks on his face, and then handed over the small plate on the case.Zheng Bai hesitated for a moment, just like Li Mao, squeezed two mulberry seeds with his fingers and put them into his mouth, but in the end it was Wen Gu who sent the mulberries out.

"I don't punish you, and it's not just for the reason I just said." Wen Gu finally didn't have to face the embarrassing scene just now, and said, "You did a good job in these two plays today, and you have done what I asked you to do. Things have been done, the reason for the subsequent arrangements is not for me, but for you."

"For me?" Zheng Bai was puzzled.

Wen Gu nodded: "As far as I know, Lingtang has a deep obsession with the Zheng family?"

Zheng Bai responded, and by the way briefly stated some of his mother Tian Niangzi's thoughts all along.

"It's not Lingtang's fault. The Zheng family she saw was different from the Zheng family we saw. Besides, in her situation, she could only have such a hopeful idea. In her thoughts Inside, you are always safe in the Zheng family, and you can get the right way that many people think." Wen Gu went back and forth seriously, "I want you to delay picking up your mother for a few days, so that she can have a chance to see What is the Zheng family like, let's see what kind of situation you will be in if you stay in the Zheng family, and the current situation will not exist."

While Wen Gu said the last few words, he also looked directly at Zheng Bai.It was only then that Zheng Bai realized that the eldest lady was referring to the scar on his cheek, so he replied with some embarrassment: "I did tell something about my current situation and situation, but my mother didn't believe it, she just thought it was me who treated Zheng Bai My family has deep prejudices and misunderstood what Master Zheng meant."

On the way back without losing his home, Zheng Bai told Mrs. Tian the whole story of the future, and his words were so angry that he gave Zheng Tong and his biological father, Mr. Zheng Liu, a lot of scolding from the air, and finally changed his face. on this scar.

"People are like this. Only when you see it with your own eyes and experience it yourself can you know what the human heart is like and what the world is like." Wen Gu nodded, "So I plan a game for you. Since you chose the closer If you choose a path, then you have to solve the rest by yourself, it’s not good for Lingtang to still think about going back to Zheng’s house, it’s not suitable for her, you, or even me.”

Having said that, Zheng Bai didn't have anything else to say, he just said, "Miss, please rest assured, my family's affairs will be properly resolved."

Regardless of whether Zheng Bai's words can be fulfilled or not, this incident is considered temporary. Anyway, it is almost time for dinner, so Wen Gu simply asked Zhixia to make some preparations and invite Tian as the host. When the lady eats together, it should be considered as a wind for her, and let her see how her son is in the center.
