Chapter 669: Seven Forty-Five: Horse Racing
The silver moon was like a hook, and the bright moonlight sprinkled on the deep river surface. Beside the pier, several building ships and merchant ships of various sizes were anchored, and the fluttering flags erected on the ships fluttered in the wind.

In Mrs. Xiao's room.

As it was a room in a ship, the space was not very large, but it was not shabby either. There were paintings and calligraphy hanging on the side, and zithers and flutes were placed. There was a screen in the room, behind which was a bed, and in front of the screen was a long table with wine and food on it, and three beautiful women standing there.

Xiao Yunxi wore a black long dress, her hair was tied up high and a jade phoenix hairpin was inserted in it. The jade on the hairpin was as crystal clear as lake water. Her outline was as if drawn with a fine brush, gentle and elegant.

Mrs. Gan's face was as gentle as jade, revealing a kind of tranquility and elegance. She had a plump figure with the charm of a peach, a tall nose bridge, and beautiful red lips. She had her hands folded at her waist, looking like a lady from a noble family.

Mrs. Xiao was wearing a bright yellow gauze dress, with a hint of flesh color. Her eyebrows were as thin as willow leaves and slightly curved, revealing a touch of elegance. She had a light rouge on the corners of her mouth, and a few beauty spots on her cheeks, which added a bit of charm. Her collar was very low, revealing half of her breasts.

The three of them standing together were like three ripe fruits growing on a fruit tree, which would ooze out juice with just a slight bite.

Chen Mo was still pretending, and asked in surprise: "Yun Xi, why are you here?"

Xiao Yunxi: "..."

She began to understand Mrs. Xiao's real intention of asking her to come over.

She was plotted against.

Xiao Yunxi glared at Madam Xiao and said, "Xiao Qiang invited me here. She said she had something to tell me. Now she has finished, so I will leave first."

After saying that, Xiao Yunxi tried to run away, but was caught by the quick-eyed and quick-handed Madam Xiao, who then hugged her arm.

Mrs. Xiao gave Mrs. Gan a look, and the latter understood and hurriedly closed the door.

Madam Xiao smiled and said, "Sister, why are you in such a hurry to leave? We haven't had our meal yet. The prince is here just in time. Let him be a witness."

"Witness what?" Chen Mo asked.

Mrs. Gan quickly recounted the story.

Chen Mo paused for a moment, looking at Xiao Yunxi, whose face was cold and calm, and his heart was aroused. He said softly, "I thought it was something else, but it turned out to be a scheme to win favor."

As he spoke, Chen Mo walked forward and hugged the plump and graceful mature woman, and whispered, "To be honest, Yunxi should thank them. Otherwise, we might not have been together. Since they apologized so sincerely tonight, Yunxi, please forgive them."

"Sister Yunxi, we really know we were wrong." Madam Xiao and Madam Gan immediately climbed up the pole.

The coldness on Xiao Yunxi's face disappeared instantly at this moment. She felt ashamed and annoyed, and angrily scolded Madam Xiao: "Xiao Qiang, you shameless bitch."

"If cursing can make my sister calm down, then I am a bitch." Mrs. Xiao looked aggrieved.

Xiao Yunxi: "..."

"Okay, Yunxi, you've scolded me enough, let's sit down and have a meal. There's no need to get angry." Chen Mo hugged Xiao Yunxi and sat down in front of the long table.

Seeing this, Madam Xiao acted like a servant, pouring wine and serving food to Xiao Yunxi.

Madam Gan was speaking well of Xiao Yunxi.

Looking at the man who was acting as a peacemaker, Xiao Yunxi had no idea what he was planning. She gritted her teeth, knowing that she could not escape tonight, and she did not give any face to Madam Xiao or Madam Gan.

She looked at the two ladies in front of her coldly and said lightly, "If you want me to forgive you, you can kneel down in front of me and kowtow three times, saying that I was wrong, and I will forgive you."

After these words were spoken, both Mrs. Xiao and Mrs. Gan's expressions changed.

When they turned their gazes towards Chen Mo, Xiao Yunxi crossed her arms across her chest and sneered, "Why, you can't do it?"

Madam Xiao lowered her head and clenched her fists, then raised her head with a smile on her face, "How could that be? I just think that your punishment is too light. How about this, as long as you can forgive me, I will not only kowtow three times and say I was wrong, but also drink three cups as punishment."

As she spoke, Madam Xiao knelt in front of Xiao Yunxi and kowtowed three times under her astonished gaze, saying that she was wrong, and then she drank three glasses of wine in a row. Perhaps she drank too quickly, she choked and started coughing, her face flushed.

"Sister, are you okay?" Mrs. Gan quickly supported Mrs. Xiao and patted her back gently.

"I'm fine." Madam Xiao waved her aggression and said to Madam Gan, "Sister, it's your turn."

Mrs. Gan took a deep breath and followed suit.

But compared to Madam Xiao, she was even more unwilling to accept it. After she finished the last glass of wine as punishment, she held the glass upside down and showed it to Xiao Yunxi, saying, "Are you satisfied, Sister Yunxi?"

Xiao Yunxi: "..."

When they were in the Prince Huai's Mansion before, these two people were still very arrogant. She never expected that they could achieve this point at this moment.

However, since the other party was like this, she naturally didn't want to embarrass him, but she didn't lose face. She snorted coldly and said, "Although I forgive you, it doesn't mean that I will be friends with you."

"Okay, let's eat." Chen Mo gently hugged Xiao Yunxi and patted her plump waist.

Then he handed a handkerchief to Madam Gan and said softly, "Don't drink so quickly, wipe it."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Madam Gan said in a tender voice.

Xiao Yunxi couldn't help but glare at the other person.

When he was in the Prince Huai's Mansion, the other party acted like he was wronged and tried to gain sympathy from others.

Chen Mo had already had dinner with Wu Mi, so he just drank a little wine.

All three women have received etiquette training. No matter how delicious the food is, they only eat in small bites, chewing slowly. Their movements are very graceful, and there is beauty in their every move.

This dinner took about fifteen minutes.

Mrs. Gan did not call the maid, but cleaned up the dishes herself and put them aside.

"Let's play horse racing."

At this time, Mrs. Xiao took out a chessboard from somewhere and said to Chen Mo and the other two.

Playing Horse is a chess game in this world where you bet on winning or losing. The chess pieces are called "horses". According to certain rules, both sides use horses to deploy formations, set up games, attack, defend, break through levels, and cross trenches.

When Chen Mo first came into contact with this game, he had no idea that there was also a game called "Horse Fighting" in this world. Horse Fighting is a bit like flying chess, but it is much more complicated than flying chess.

At the same time, this is also a common form of gambling among the people. In Chen Mo's previous life, Li Qingzhao gambled at horse racing, and Li Qingzhao was also a senior gambler. For this reason, she personally wrote the "Preface to the Illustrated Guide to Horse Racing".

This gambling game is best suited for two to five people.

Now there are four people including Chen Mo, and the number is just right.

When playing this, cultivation will not help.

It depends on luck and brains.

Xiao Yunxi didn't want to play at first, but Chen Mo pulled her aside, saying that it was okay to play and just relax.

Madam Xiao said, "Since we have decided to play, let's talk about the good luck first. No money is involved. The loser has to take off a piece of clothing. If they lose everything, the winner will ask the loser to do something, and the loser cannot refuse. Is that okay?"

"Okay." Mrs. Gan nodded in agreement.

"That's fine with me too." Chen Mo said.

"That's settled then." Mrs. Xiao said.

Xiao Yunxi: "..."

She hasn't agreed yet.

There are three dice for playing horse racing.

Each person has twenty horses, which are actually the chess pieces used in horse chess.

During the horse game, the horse's movement is determined by the result of the dice roll.

The winner is determined based on the scoring rules, and the final result is determined by the score.

Since it is not a gamble, there is only one winner and the rest are losers.

In the first game, Xiao Yunxi won.

Chen Mo, Mrs. Xiao, and Mrs. Gan all took off one piece of clothing.

It was not yet autumn, and everyone was not wearing much clothes. After taking off a piece of clothing, the beautiful spring scenery could be seen.

And this was exactly what Mrs. Xiao wanted.

In the second game, Mrs. Xiao won.

In the third game, Chen Mo won.

By the end of the third inning, Mrs. Gan had come clean.

In the fourth round, Mrs. Xiao won again. Because Mrs. Gan had been honest with her, Mrs. Xiao asked Mrs. Gan to do one thing, which was to kiss Chen Mo.

Mrs. Gan had anticipated this and kissed Chen Mo on the cheek with a blushing face.

Xiao Yunxi avoided her gaze.

In the fifth game, Chen Mo won.

This time, not only Mrs. Gan was frank with her, but also Xiao Yunxi and Mrs. Xiao.

Chen Mo can assign Mrs. Gan to do something.

Chen Mo was not a serious person. He hugged Mrs. Gan and said softly, "Aqin, I want..."

When being held by Chen Mo, Mrs. Gan was immersed in the tingling aftertaste. Hearing his words, her rosy and rosy cheeks became hot as fire and she seemed to snort softly.

Mrs. Xiao, who was standing by, seemed to have heard it as well and said, "The loser cannot refuse."

At this moment, Mrs. Gan was like a hot stove, with smoke coming out of her head.

She left Chen Mo's arms and moved closer with her soft, white hands trembling.

Chen Mo didn't say much, he stared towards the window, but there was nothing to see outside except darkness.

His brows were sometimes furrowed and sometimes relaxed, and there was a hint of intoxication on his cold and resolute face.

Madam Xiao's face flushed, while Xiao Yunxi shyly turned her head away, cursing in her heart, "Shameless."

By the sixth game, Mrs. Gan won.

Chen Mo, Madam Xiao, and Xiao Yunxi are all losers.

At this moment, they were honest with each other.

All three of them had to do one thing according to Mrs. Gan's instructions.

A hint of foxy cunning appeared in Mrs. Gan's beautiful eyes as she stated her request.

She wanted to let Madam Xiao and Madam Gan experience what she had just experienced.

Mrs. Xiao did as she was told.

But Xiao Yunxi wanted to cheat.

If I'm alone with Chen Mo, then there's no problem.

But now.
Especially Mrs. Gan and Mrs. Xiao have
How could the proud eldest daughter of the Xiao family lose face like this, especially since she looked down on the two ladies?

She looked at Mrs. Gan with a cold face and asked her to change her request.

But Mrs. Gan naturally would not change.

She has not forgotten the humiliation of kneeling down to apologize before.

Now that she has the chance to take revenge, how could she let it go?

"Sister Yunxi, can't you afford to have fun?" Mrs. Gan said sarcastically again.

Xiao Yunxi: "You..."

She glanced at Chen Mo, hoping that he could help speak up.

But as the biggest beneficiary, Chen Mo naturally would not go against him and pretended not to see it.

"I... I owe it to you first." After hesitating for a while, Xiao Yunxi looked at Chen Mo with resentment in her eyes.

"No credit." Mrs. Gan pressed on.

"Don't go too far." Xiao Yunxi gritted her teeth.

"Since Sister Yunxi can't afford to play, then let's just not play." Madam Gan said.

Xiao Yunxi: "..."

"Just wait for me." After saying this harshly, Xiao Yunxi first took out a handkerchief, wet it, and cleaned it before doing as she was told.

After a moment, Xiao Yunxi's throat moved a few times, and she raised her hand to wipe her mouth fiercely. She stared at Madam Gan and said, "Come on, continue."

Xiao Yunxi got angry and vowed to fight Madam Gan to the death.

When Mrs. Xiao saw Xiao Yunxi's appearance at this moment, she felt a little scared.

But Mrs. Gan disagreed.

In the seventh game, Chen Mo won.

But he wanted to watch the three women fight more, so he just tapped each of them on the millstone.

In the eighth game, Mrs. Gan won again.

She was not worried about Xiao Yunxi's ambitions at all, and instructed Xiao Yunxi to do even more "excessive" things.

This naturally made Xiao Yunxi more hateful.

In the ninth game, Mrs. Gan was really lucky and she won again.

Naturally, Xiao Yunxi suffered again.

When Madam Gan ordered Xiao Yunxi this time, Madam Xiao on the side poked her with her elbow, asking Madam Gan to show mercy, but Madam Gan did not listen.

After the punishment was over, Madam Xiao stayed away from Madam Gan.

He was afraid that after Xiao Yunxi won, Madam Gan’s blood would splatter on him.

In the tenth game, Mrs. Xiao won.

She was afraid of Xiao Yunxi's revenge, so she simply punished Xiao Yunxi by making him drink a glass of wine.

Finally, when it came to the eleventh round, Xiao Yunxi finally won.

Madam Xiao sat further away again.

as predicted.

Xiao Yunxi instructed Madam Gan to go to Nanshan leisurely and invite Chen Mo to appreciate the flowers.

Madam Xiao also felt uncomfortable, but fortunately her subordinates had shown mercy and let Xiao Yunxi only punish her by making her drink a glass of wine.

After this punishment, Mrs. Gan also got angry.

……

Time passed silently and the night gradually deepened, but Xiao Yunxi and Madam Gan in the house were tireless and had already faced each other.

Even Chen Mo couldn't stand it anymore and said to them, "You guys keep playing. I'm going to sleep."

"Your Highness, I will accompany you." Madam Xiao also quickly evacuated the battlefield.

She had already seen that Xiao Yunxi and Madam Gan were having a blast, and if she stayed any longer, she would suffer as well.

Although Chen Mo had already left, Xiao Yunxi and Madam Gan had no intention of giving up.

Xiao Yunxi said: "Do you dare to come again?"

"Come if you want. I'm not afraid of you."

……

Early morning hours.

Chen Mo woke up slowly. At this moment, he was hugging Mrs. Xiao's shoulders. She had a plump figure and her whole body was soft. It was very comfortable to hug her.

Mrs. Xiao was sleeping peacefully, with her plump and soft body nestled in Chen Mo's arms, while she was holding Chen Mo's arm in her arms.

Chen Mo looked around but did not see Xiao Yunxi and Madam Gan.
