"Heh..." Xie Lin chuckled, his eyes widened as he looked at Chu Heyi.

When I saw her crying in front of me before, I thought she was a delicate girl. But now I am sure that the word "delicate" has nothing to do with her.

Even though the eldest brother was not killed by the Chu family, he still died because of the Chu family. The two families have been feuding for more than ten years.

Now that her eldest brother was being retaliated by his eldest nephew, he could only say that he was unlucky. The Xie family could be completely unreasonable.

Asking the girl what she wanted showed that he understood her feelings well enough, but this girl actually dared to make three requests to him!

Either she had a wild imagination, or she was very courageous.

Chu Heyi said: "In fact, my request is very simple. It will not harm the lives of innocent people, nor will it bring shame to the Xie family. On the contrary, it may even help save the Xie family."

Xie Zhun and Xie Shaobai both laughed. Although the Xie family did not hold high official ranks in the court, the third-rank noble lady Xie in the harem came from their family.

This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that the crabapple, osmanthus, plum blossoms and chrysanthemums used by the dignitaries and nobles in Shengjing City and the royal family all come from the Xie family.

In addition, there are other industries such as silk, rice and grain.

It can be said that the Xie family is one of the richest families in Shengjing City.

The family has money and the harem has nobles. Even if the men of the Xie family have made no achievements in the court, they are still in the limelight in Shengjing City.

But what did this wild girl from the Chu family just say?

That she could help the Xie family?

It's really hilarious!

Only Xie Lin had a calm look with a hint of coldness in it.

Chu Heyi met his gaze, "My first request is to play a game of chess with you!"

Xie Lin frowned slightly, a little surprised by her request, but the surprise in his eyes flashed away so quickly that no one could catch it.

"Third Uncle, you can't agree to her! After all this time, she is here for you. She covets your beauty! What she said about seeking justice for her eldest brother is all nonsense!" Xie Shaobai said as if he had grabbed Chu Heyi's pigtail.

Xie Zhun was also angry, he had the same idea as Xie Shaobai.

Although his third brother had been weak since childhood, he was so good-looking that many women couldn't help but fall in love with him at first sight and tried every means to get close to him.

It's so shameless!

As a girl, can't you be more reserved?

After all, she is the legitimate daughter of the Zhenbei Marquisate!

However, despite their anger, uncle and nephew Xie Zhun were not worried. Xie Lin had always been a cold and aloof person, treating women as nothing. He had broken countless women's hearts since childhood.

The daughter of the Chu family is pretty, but she is still a little girl who has not grown up yet. It is a foregone conclusion that she will be rejected!

Xie Lin said: "Your elder brother was attacked by wild beasts and his life or death is unknown. Are you interested in playing chess with me?"

Chu Heyi replied: "I am not a doctor, and staying with my elder brother will not help. I should do what I should do while he is recovering from his injury."

Xie Lin couldn't help but laugh. Her elder brother was seriously injured and unconscious, but she thought that playing chess with him was an important thing to do.

That being the case...

"Okay." Xie Lin agreed and looked at the servant beside him. The servant understood and immediately went to prepare the chessboard.

Xie Lin turned and walked towards the Xie family mansion. Chu Heyi followed him, holding up the hem of her skirt. The two walked in the candlelight, one in front and one behind. The evening breeze blew gently, and the branches cast mottled shadows on the ground and walls, which was indescribably harmonious.

After they realized what was happening, Xie Zhun and Xie Shaobai were stunned. The head of the family actually agreed? ? ?

Baihua did not move, and waited outside the door with Xie Shaobai and the guards.

Xie Zhun and Nanny Rui quickly followed.

In the study.

Candles are lit.

Xie Lin and Chu Heyi sat opposite each other. The servant Wangshan set up the chessboard and then went downstairs respectfully to make tea.

They were playing chess.

Chu Heyi moved a pawn first, and Xie Lin remained calm and moved a soldier.

Chu Heyi picked up a horse but did not move. Instead, he looked at Nanny Rui. Nanny Rui stepped back and retreated outside the screen.

Chu Heyi then dismounted his horse. Xie Lin moved his cannon and then looked at Xie Zhun.

Xie Zhun stammered, "I want to be here! I won't make a sound!"

He just didn't understand. His third brother and the daughter of the Chu family were alone together, so was it appropriate to ask them both to leave?

It’s not suitable, he can’t leave!

Xie Lin spoke directly: "If I have something, I will call my second brother in."

This was an order to leave, but it was a more tactful one. Xie Zhun knew that if he didn't leave, his third brother would not give him face, so he went out reluctantly and found a chair outside the screen to sit down.

Xie Lin and Chu Heyi sat on the couch under the window. The window was open and they could see the scenery in the yard by looking up.

After about ten moves, Chu Heyi captured one of Xie Lin's soldiers and looked at him proudly.

Xie Lin's face was calm: "What is your second request?"

Chu Heyi said: "My eldest brother was seriously injured and needs to rest. I want the Xie family's 100-acre osmanthus garden in the west of the city, which will be full of osmanthus flowers in the fall. I can take my eldest brother there to enjoy it whenever I want."

"Just for fun?"

Chu Heyi raised his eyebrows: "You shouldn't mind if I occasionally pick three or five branches and put them in a vase at home, right?"

"Heh..." Xie Lin chuckled again, then realized that he had laughed too many times today, so he stopped laughing.

"The Xie family's Osmanthus Garden has been planting osmanthus all year round. Even if you don't have this request, the osmanthus garden in the west of the city will not be moved."

"That was in the past, but it may not be the case this year!" Chu Heyi answered in her heart, but she did not explain much. She said, "Not a single plant or seedling can be lost."

So domineering? Xie Lin was surprised again, but he didn't think it was difficult, so he replied, "Okay."

Just now, Chu Heyi used his horses to eat up his soldiers, and he used his chariot to eat up Chu Heyi's horses.

Chu Heyi frowned and looked displeased when he saw this.

"It's my turn." Xie Lin said, "Shaobai thought that Mengshou was the knife he borrowed to kill your eldest brother. Then, who was Shaobai to hand over the knife to your eldest brother?"

Too many descendants of the Chu family died, and the talented people were dwindling. The current Chu family is basically supported by Chu Yi.

If anything happens to Chu Bian, the Chu family will collapse, and the power of the 300,000 troops in Changqing City will definitely change hands.

The Chu and Xie families have been feuding for many years. His nephew is a few years older than him. He had never thought of dealing with the Chu family before. At most, they would say a few sarcastic words to each other when they met inadvertently, or even fight in serious cases. But now Xie Shaobai can come up with such a trick to deal with Chu Yi.

Someone must have used him as a knife to deal with the Chu family.

Chu Heyi asked: "Did you agree to play chess with me because you guessed that Xie Shaobai would become someone else's knife?"

"Is it hard to guess?"

A smile appeared on Chu Heyi's eyes. She was still smart as always, so when she came to the Xie family to look for someone, she was only looking for Xie Lin.

No one else in the Xie family is smart enough to communicate with her properly.

"I will solve the crisis of the Chu family. But the Xie family is so prosperous and wealthy, but now the treasury is empty. If someone wants to fill the treasury, they will definitely want to take the fat from the Xie family!"

Chu Heyi fired a cannon, threatening his car.
