After lunch, Liang Wan was in no hurry to return to the South Garden. Instead, she stayed to drink tea and play chess with the Grandmaster, and Cao Luyun, having nothing else to do, also remained.
Since Lu Xiu's departure, only the three of them remained in the vast Master's Mansion. To avoid the hassle and prevent the estate from feeling too desolate, they simply took to having their lunches and dinners together.
The Grandmaster gently placed a piece on the board and smiled at the person opposite him. "It's a good thing you two are here. Otherwise, I'd truly be all alone."
Liang Wan frowned, picking up a piece. She was still contemplating her move and didn't reply.
It was Cao Luyun, at the side, who smiled and said, "The Grandmaster must be worried about the Grand Commandant."
