Dressed as a vicious stepmother, farming and raising cubs

Chapter 109 "Watching the chess without saying a word"

Although he said he didn't care, at night, Su Liu couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Shen Luochen finished washing up earlier than her and was already lying on the outside with his back to her. She didn't know if he had already fallen asleep.

A candle was lit in the room, and the light was a little dim. A slight breeze blew through, and the shadows on the ground swayed.

Su Liu gently moved to the bedside, stretched his neck and took a look.

Shen Luochen's eyes were closed tightly, his long eyelashes were silhouetted in the candlelight, and his thin lips were pursed into a line, showing no expression.

It seems that he fell asleep?

Su Liu thought secretly, and the scene during the day suddenly appeared in his mind.

Things developed so fast. In just a few days, she went from a rural girl with a grassroots background who developed a business on her own to a concubine of the General's Palace. Shen Luochen also followed her and became the wife of the General's Palace. husband.

In fact, when she said she was married, it was a bit of a gamble.

Because she was not sure whether Shen Luochen was willing to follow her back to the general's mansion. Doing so might disrupt his plan.

Unexpectedly, he agreed so simply.

She stared blankly at Shen Luochen's side face in trance. Unexpectedly, she heard him say:

"What are you doing standing there?"

Su Liu was so frightened that he trembled all over. Unexpectedly, it turned out that he was not asleep, and he even heard his own movements!

"Sleep now." She responded awkwardly, climbed onto the bed carefully, and stepped over Shen Luochen.

After lying down, she quickly turned around, her back facing Shen Luochen, her body stretched a little because of the tension.

For some reason, although she didn't see it, she felt a line of sight falling on her, belonging to Shen Luochen.

He just stared at her back and said nothing. After a long while, he sighed softly.

"sleep early."

As he spoke, he actually reached out his hand and gently tucked her up.

Su Liu put a hand on his chest and felt that his heart was beating a little fast, like a drum, echoing in his chest.

After a long while, she dared to twist her body and look back at Shen Luochen.

He seemed to be really asleep now, his breathing became even and heavy, and a few strands of hair hung in front of his forehead, looking a little more casual than his usual serious look.

Su Liu swallowed silently, turned back, closed her eyes tightly, and muttered silently in her heart.

Don't think too much, go to bed quickly, there are still many things to do tomorrow!

When she opened her eyes again, the sunlight had already shone on her face, and her eyes were filled with white flowers, which were a bit dazzling.

Su Liu struggled to get up from the bed, looked at the sky outside, and was suddenly shocked.

"What time is it now?"

Shen Luochen was sitting on the table not far away. He had changed his clothes at some point and still had half of the mask on his face.

Hearing her voice, he turned around and said lightly:

"It's already time."

Su Liu quickly calculated in his mind, wasn't it almost ten o'clock?

She suddenly sat up from the bed and began to put on her shoes in a hurry.

"Well, can you turn around?"

Suddenly realizing that she still had to change clothes, her face felt a little hot and she said a little embarrassedly.

Shen Luochen turned around cooperatively and faced the window. Su Liu took off his nightgown very neatly and put on his usual coat. He couldn't help but said with some complaint:

"Why didn't you wake me up earlier?"

Shen Luochen still turned his back to her and replied matter-of-factly:

"You worked so hard yesterday and slept so deeply. I couldn't bear to call you."

Su Liu gave him a sharp look with his eyes, even though he couldn't see it now.

After getting dressed and washing briefly, Su Liu went to the children's room again and called out all three dolls.

This morning, I was taking them to greet the general and his wife, but I didn't expect that they would be delayed because of her sleep.

Fortunately, the children all got up early and Shen Luochen didn't delay, so the family left the courtyard in a hurry.

The general and his wife had already finished their breakfast and were playing chess in the back garden.

After Su Liu found out their location from the servants' mouth, he rushed over with the children and Shen Luochen.

As soon as they arrived in the back garden, they saw General Wen and Mrs. Li sitting face to face at a small stone table. There was a chessboard on the table. They each held a piece, and they seemed to be enjoying themselves.

"Father, Mother, we are late." Su Liu stepped forward and bowed slightly to the two of them.

"It's Liu'er. It doesn't matter. You should also come and take a look at the chess game."

Mrs. Li turned her head and showed a gentle smile, with no trace of blame on her face.

The General's Mansion never cared about these little details, but she would not be angry if he came a little late.

Su Liu was also slightly relieved, but when he saw the chess game, he was in trouble.

In modern times, she mostly played backgammon and flying chess, but she knew nothing about the serious black and white Go!

Looking horizontally and vertically, she couldn't figure out why, and she didn't even know who had the upper hand.

In the end, he could only look at Shen Luochen for help.

Shen Luochen walked up to her and glanced at the chessboard, but instead of commenting, he said:

"Watching the chess without saying a word, my mother-in-law must have had a plan in mind."

Su Liu suddenly realized it and silently gave Shen Luochen a thumbs up. It was so wonderful. Why didn't she think of this move?

Mrs. Li smiled faintly, lowered her eyes and said:

"Luochen is right to say so."

So, Su Liu and Shen Luochen took the children and sat down on a small stone bench nearby. He waited until the game was over without disturbing him again.

"Oh, after all these years, my wife is still more skilled."

The general seemed to have lost the game and gently hammered the table with an annoyed expression.

It seems that in terms of chess skills, General Wen should be slightly inferior to Mrs. Li.

Su Liu glanced at Shen Luochen in shock, secretly guessing, could it be that he actually understood it just now?

Mrs. Li still had a calm smile on her face. She turned to look at her and Shen Luochen and said something shocking:

"What Luochen said just now is quite interesting. He doesn't look like an ordinary hunter."

Hearing this, Su Liu was shocked. Could it be that she was suspicious?

After all, as an Orion who grew up in a village, he had no chance to play chess, so how could he understand the meaning of watching the game without saying a word.

Shen Luochen still looked calm and explained calmly:

"I have been to the city several times before and saw people in the city playing chess. Everyone said so."
