Third Aunt Li, being so rebuked by Ji Ruyan, where would dare to squabble any further?
She quickly found an excuse and left the General's Mansion.
Luo Shunchen was at Old General Xu Ziming's place, where grandfather and grandson were playing chess and chatting.
Old General Xu Ziming placed a white piece on the board, "Have you thought it through? Danren Cliff is no welcoming place. Going there is almost like being set free in the wild."
"Grandfather, rest assured, Danren Cliff is indeed the best place for me. Now that the Crown Prince has not been established, and with my father in the prime of his life, he won't select a Crown Prince. Rather than getting embroiled in the rivalry among the princes, it's better to stay away from it all and enjoy some peace and quiet."
Luo Shunchen held a black piece, his expression serene as he placed it on the chessboard.
On the board, black and white vied for dominance, unfolding a fierce battle.
