Chapter 306 Dugu Moyan Learns About the Draft
Over there, Dugu Moyan and Shen Zhenzhu sat opposite each other and engaged in a series of fierce games on the chessboard.
However, in every round, almost without exception, Dugu Moyan always managed to win by relying on a slight advantage of one or half a stone. Faced with such results, Shen Zhenzhu couldn't help but feel frustrated. She truly felt as if she had been completely crushed by the Dugu brothers and sisters.
Dugu Moyan noticed Shen Zhenzhu's slightly depressed mood and quickly spoke to comfort her, "Zhenzhu, don't be discouraged by losing. To be honest, the reason my chess skills have reached their current level is because I was often defeated by my father and Jingyao, and I honed my skills through countless failures."
Hearing this, Shen Zhenzhu's originally depressed mood was slightly relieved, but at the same time, she also felt a little sympathy for Dugu Moyan. After all, even she, as a girl, felt a little embarrassed after losing consecutive games, not to mention Dugu Moyan, a man.
At this moment, Dugu Moyan felt a little embarrassed by Shen Zhenzhu's sympathetic gaze. He couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Okay, okay, don't worry about winning or losing anymore. Let's go see how Jingyao is doing."
After he reminded her, Shen Zhenzhu suddenly remembered how Dugu Jingyao had left angrily just now, and quickly responded, "Yes, let's go and check on Jingyao."
After saying that, the two stood up together. Dugu Moyan walked in front, and Shen Zhenzhu followed closely behind, slowly walking towards Banmengxuan.
Soon, they arrived at the gate of the courtyard. They saw Shi Jian and Si Jian standing guard there. Si Jian, in particular, had a tense face filled with indignation.
Shi Jian turned around and her eyes happened to fall on Dugu Moyan and Shen Zhenzhu who were walking slowly towards her. Her heart tightened and she hurriedly grabbed Si Jian beside her. The two of them walked quickly forward and respectfully greeted them, "This servant greets the young master and Miss Shen."
Dugu Moyan nodded slightly, motioning them to stand up, and then asked, "Where's Yao'er? Is she resting?"
Shi Jian lowered his head and replied softly, "Master, the princess is resting."
Dugu Moyan frowned slightly, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, and asked, "Why are you resting at this time?"
Si Jian on the side could not help but speak quickly and muttered in a low voice: "It's all because of Prince Guangping..." Before she finished speaking, Shi Jian suddenly pulled her sleeve and signaled her not to continue.
However, Dugu Moyan was a perceptive man. He noticed every little move between the two men and was certain there was something fishy going on. His face darkened, and he stared at Shi Jian and Si Jian with a sharp gaze. He asked in a serious tone, "What exactly is going on? Tell me the truth!"
After all, Dugu Moyan has been with his father Dugu Xin for a long time, and has often fought in military camps and on the battlefield. After years of experience, the aura he exudes is extraordinary, with a sense of sharpness that comes from his absence of anger.
Seeing Shi Jian hesitated to speak, he simply stopped questioning her and turned to look at Si Jian, saying sternly: "Si Jian, tell me!"
Si Jian glanced at Shi Jian, and Dugu Moyan said sternly, "Si Jian, I'm asking you, why are you looking at Shi Jian?"
Si Jianxin gritted his teeth, stomped his feet, and told the whole story. Dugu Moyan was even more furious after hearing this: "What? No wonder Yao'er has been so depressed these past few days. It's all because of Li Chu!"
Even Shen Zhenzhu felt sorry for Jingyao after hearing this. She was obviously a bright and cheerful woman, but she was tortured into this state by a man. And the same goes for the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess. Jingyao hasn't even married yet, so why are they so anxious to add another person to Li Chu's harem?
Dugu Moyan sighed inwardly, "Oh, silly sister Yao'er, if only she had told us earlier! Now that the matter has been settled, nothing we say can change it."
Dugu Moyan thought for a moment: No, even if I can't change anything, I have to tell my father and let him know that his daughter has been wronged. In the future, if they are in the wrong, they will not dare to mistreat Yao'er.
Having made up his mind, Dugu Moyan said, "Zhenzhu, you should go back. Yao'er probably won't wake up so soon. Come back later."
Shen Zhenzhu thought what he said made sense, so she left with Dugu Moyan. Shen Zhenzhu returned to Liyun Courtyard, while Dugu Moyan went directly to look for Dugu Xin.
