The daughter of a general is reborn to save the whole family of the marquis

At nightfall, Chu Heyi sat alone in the study, playing chess with himself.

One side represents the Queen, and the other side represents Dongfang Shuo and his wife.

The death of Concubine Zheng was equivalent to Runxue sacrificing a chariot, but in the end it was Concubine Xie who paid with her life, and the Queen lost a pawn.

Dongfang Shuo and his wife suffered a terrible loss. Chu Heyi took a rook from the red chessboard and a pawn from the black chessboard.

After that, she stared at the black player's checkmate position for a long time without moving.

The spy that Xie Lin sent into the palace came back and told him a few key words, so he sat with her and calculated what might happen next.

The queen, representing the king of the black side, wants to eat the concubine of the red side and then kill her and Xie Lin.

What Qiao Wanwan is on Huaishan is all a lie.

As for going to Huaishan, you can find out Xie Lin's life experience, but it is just a bait.

Both statements were about luring them to Huaishan to create the illusion that the imperial concubine was killed.

As long as they set foot on Huaishan, even if they did not enter Wanfu Temple, it would be difficult to clear the suspicion of killing the imperial concubine.

Therefore, she and Xie Lin planned early on to burn all their clothes, pretend to rush to Huaishan, and at the same time lure the prince into the game to be their witness.

They originally wanted to take the opportunity to kill the Queen. The two blood-stained sleeves were the work of Xie Lin and her. In the end, the Queen pushed Concubine Xie out to block the knife.

Chu Heyi continued to stare at the black "general" position. She was completely unaware of the strong wind outside the window. She only murmured softly, "When did the queen make the second-hand preparation? Was it at the beginning or in the middle?"

Chu Heyi picked up the black "General", rubbed it in his hand, and fell into deep thought.

If the queen had made preparations for both situations from the beginning, she was very smart. If she had done it halfway, it would have shown that she was difficult to deal with, not only because she was quick to react, but also because she had spies everywhere.

The wind mixed with raindrops blew in from the window, bringing endless chill. Chu Heyi felt cold and looked out the window.

Madam Rui came in immediately to close the window and warned her, "Young lady, be careful not to catch a cold. Although it is spring, it is still cold when it rains."

Chu Heyi gave her a faint smile. She was wondering, what kind of life experience would Xie Lin find out when he went to see Concubine Xie off?

Will he be successful?

In the morning at Zichen Palace, she knew that Xie Lin didn't want her to go with him, so she said she wanted to go home to visit her two younger sisters.

Chu Heyi's attention returned to the chessboard again. Her eyes were suddenly filled with murderous intent. She pushed all the chess pieces off the board, making a clattering sound.

Whether it is Dongfang Shuo and his wife, or the Queen, they have many capable people around them. Her revenge and protection of her family have never been a one-man show, and she still has a long way to go.

Only by eliminating all the soldiers, horses, vehicles and artillery around them can we truly point our swords at them.

Chu Heyi sat on the chair and let Nanny Rui put away the chessboard. She closed her eyes gently and recalled many things from her past life.

In her previous life, she seldom stayed in Shengjing City, but Shengjing City was the center of imperial power. Every major event that happened here would spread throughout the world, it was just a matter of time.

Runxue is an expert at plundering wealth. During the days when Xie Lin was poisoned and unconscious, she took all the wealth of the Xie family.

After that, she made a fortune before various natural disasters.

Natural disaster!

Chu Heyi suddenly opened his eyes, thought of something, and his face instantly turned cold.

"Miss, your birthday is coming up in a few days. Second Madam asked me to ask you if you would like to invite Mr. Xie to your home as a guest?"

Nanny Rui came in from outside again, and her smiling voice interrupted Chu Heyi's thoughts.

Seeing Chu Heyi looking over, Nanny Rui smiled and said, "After your birthday, you will be seventeen years old. The Second Madam wants to choose a marriage for you as soon as possible."

He added, "Generally speaking, young ladies from respectable families start dating at the age of eleven or twelve, get engaged at the age of thirteen or fourteen, and start preparing for marriage after the coming-of-age ceremony. Young lady, you have delayed for too long, and the Second Madam is worried about you, but she cannot explain to the Marquis and the General.

"Men from good families are always chosen early. If they wait any longer, they will only be ugly and have difficulty finding a good match."

Chu Heyi subconsciously said, "Master Xie has already reached adulthood, but he is still not engaged, right?"

Madam Rui smiled and said, "So, do you want to invite Master Xie to your birthday party this time? Let him know that you are already seventeen years old."

Chu Heyi was stunned for a moment before she understood what Er Niang and Nanny Rui meant. A blush slowly appeared on her cheeks.

In the situation like that in her previous life, she had never thought about getting married.

After returning to this life, she has not yet completely defeated Runxue and his wife, and she has never thought about this matter.

Now that Nanny Rui mentioned it, her heartbeat quickened and she could hardly control herself.

She pondered for a moment and said, "Master Xie has been very tired these days. He is weak and needs a good rest. It is the spring ploughing season again. After a good rest, he will go out of town to deal with the loan business. I am afraid he will not be able to attend my birthday party.

"Besides, my father and brother are not at home, and my seventeenth birthday party is just a meal with the whole family. It is not grand. I am afraid it is not polite to invite him."

Madam Rui smiled and said, "It would be considered polite if we invite him. It's up to him whether to come or not. At least he will know that the young lady is seventeen years old this year. If he is interested, he should ask a matchmaker to come and propose marriage. If he is not interested, the Second Madam can find another good man for the young lady."

"Ah!" Chu Heyi cried out softly, her face flushed with shame.

Nanny Rui smiled even more. Fearing that she would be too embarrassed, she stopped teasing her and said, "I'll talk to the Second Madam and send someone to the Xie family to invite him to come in a few days."

Nanny Rui went out quickly. After Chu Heyi reacted, it was too late to call her back.

Chu Heyi thought about it and wondered why he was calling Madam. Was he trying to stop Madam?

Doesn't she have Xie Lin in her heart?

Don't you want to marry him?

If they marry him, they will become a family, and the Chu and Xie families will be completely tied together. No matter how strong the wind and snow are in the future, it will be difficult to corrode them. No matter what enemy wants to deal with them, they will have to think twice.

The best of both worlds.

A smile appeared on Chu Heyi's brows and eyes, but he finally did not stop Nanny Rui.

But she quickly put away her smile. Would Xie Lin be willing? Did he learn about his life experience from Concubine Xie?

He has not come to the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion. Should she go to ask him? Or not. This is his secret. If he wants to tell, he will come. On the contrary, if she goes to find out, it will embarrass him.

Chu Heyi decided to wait.

The next morning, Xie Lin went to the morning court as usual and reported the progress of the court's loan to the emperor.

After the morning court session, he was about to leave the palace as usual, but Princess Pingyang called out to him, "Thank you, sir, you dropped something."
