288 Accept Defeat

In the next round, Yu Niaoniao was still playing the role of the landlord.

She was full of confidence and felt that she would definitely win this round.

After all, she had a lot of experience playing Fight the Landlord. Facing the two newbies, Xiao Juan and Lo Pingsha, it was naturally easy!

However, reality slapped her hard in the face.

Xiao Juan and Lo Pingsha were both veterans of interrogating criminals.They could guess most of the cards in her hand from the subtle changes in Yu Niaoniao’s expression,

She first threw out the scattered cards in her hand, preparing to throw her trump card before showing the rest of her hand.

This plan was originally perfect.

However, just as she threw down the card, Xiao Juan suddenly threw an even bigger card.

Then, they began to play a single card.

Yu Niaoniao watched as they played cards one after another. There were several times when she wanted to tear down the even pair, but in the end, she resisted.

She quickly calculated the cards that she had already played in her mind. There was no way there would be a bigger card to be played. There would not be a third-generation card either. They definitely still had pairs.

As long as one of them came up with a pair, she would be able to pick it up immediately.

Unexpectedly, the two of them seemed to have discussed it and did not come up with a pair.

Yu Niaoniao watched helplessly as they played all the cards in their hands.

In the end, she was still holding the string of pairs in her hand.

She could not believe that she had lost to two newbies.

Xiao Juan comforted her. “You’re already playing very well. Try harder.”

Yu Niaoniao threw the string of pairs on the table and sighed.

“I admit defeat!”

Granny Xiu Yan had already prepared the cards.

“Princess Consort, do you want to take a look at the contents of these notes? I thought of them casually. I wonder if they’re suitable?”

Yu Niaoniao was very assured of Granny Xiu Yan’s work and replied without thinking.

“There’s no need to look. Just let me pick one.”

All the cards were rolled into a ball and placed on the plate.

Yu Niaoniao casually picked up a small ball of paper and opened it. She was immediately dumbfounded.

Seeing her strange expression, Xiao Juan and Lo Pingsha leaned over to read the contents of the note.

There was a sentence written on the note: Please kiss someone next to you.

Yu Niaoniao really did not expect Granny Xiu Yan to write such content.

She originally thought that with the conservative thinking of the ancients, they would at most request a dance or something. She did not expect the first note to be so exciting.

Yu Niaoniao looked at Granny Xiu Yan silently. She had underestimated the latter!

Granny Xiu Yan smiled back.

“Your Highness, Princess Consort, this is all I can help you with.”

She retreated silently, hiding her glee with her achievement.

Lo Pingsha reacted quickly.

He retreated to the door immediately and kept a distance from Yu Niaoniao.

This way, Xiao Juan was the only one next to Yu Niaoniao.

Xiao Juan sat still.

He looked at Yu Niaoniao and said calmly.

“It’s okay if you don’t want to do it. Pick another one.”

Yu Niaoniao slapped the note on the table with bravado. “I said I’ll accept my loss. It’s just a kiss. What’s the big deal?!”

With that, she pounced on Xiao Juan and kissed his face.

When Xiao Juan came back to his senses, Yu Niaoniao had already sat back in the distance.

She adhered to the principle that as long as she was not embarrassed, others would be the ones who were embarrassed.

“Why are you looking at me? Continue playing cards. Little Lo, come here quickly.”

Xiao Juan felt a strange sensation where his cheek had been kissed. It was a little numb and warm.

He subconsciously looked at Yu Niaoniao’s lips.

Her lips were red and glossy, like red cherries. Just looking at them made one feel they were sweet and delicious.

Xiao Juan suddenly spoke.

“This is the first time you’ve kissed me.”

Yu Niaoniao paused in her shuffling.

Goodness! She had already tried her best to pretend that nothing had happened. Why did he still have to remind her?

Was he forcing her to die on the spot?

Yu Niaoniao played dumb. “Really? I didn’t even notice, haha.”

She prayed that Xiao Juan would not mention this again so she could come out of this situation with some dignity intact!

...

Xiao Juan could tell that she did not want to mention this again, so he did not say anything else.

However, Lo Pingsha could not help but ask.

“First time? No way? Haven’t you been married for half a year?”

He would never have thought that the Princess Consort of Lang County, who looked like she was glued to Duke Lang, had not consummated her marriage!

Yu Niaoniao felt guilty and smiled even more exaggeratedly.

“Hahaha! Look at what you’re saying. It’s definitely not the first time. His Highness just said it casually. He was joking. There’s no need to take it seriously. Let’s continue playing cards. This time, you’ll be the landlord.”

Afraid that he would continue to ask, Yu Niaoniao quickly shuffled the cards and urged him to quickly grab them.

Lo Pingsha felt that there was something strange between the two of them.

However, this was a private matter for the couple. As an outsider, he could not ask too much. He could only disregard his suspicions and stop talking.

Yu Niaoniao did not dare to let her guard down this time.

From the moment she played the first card, she began to count the cards in her heart.

...

Excluding the cards that had already been dealt and the cards in her hand, she could calculate the cards in Xiao Juan and Lo Pingsha’s hands.

Based on the sequence and pattern of their cards, she could roughly calculate which cards they had taken.

Yu Niaoniao’s desire to win was already bursting.

She clenched the remaining two cards in her hand tightly. She did not believe that she could lose this round!

Xiao Juan and Lo Pingsha did not know how to count cards, but they were very good at psychological tactics.

The two of them were fighting each other to find out their respective bottom lines.

If it was a 1v1, it was still uncertain who would win in the end.

However, this was Fight the Landlord. Xiao Juan and Yu Niaoniao, calculated cards and employed tactics as teammates. They cooperated very well. The result was that Lo Pingsha held on for a long time but finally lost.

He looked at the plate that had been brought to him. It contained many small balls of paper.

Lo Pingsha, who had always been calm, was actually a little nervous. He was afraid that he would get the same paper ball as the princess.

Under the gazes of Yu Niaoniao and Xiao Juan, Lo Pingsha picked up a small ball of paper.

He silently prayed that as long as it wasn’t a kiss, he would do anything.

He slowly unfolded the paper ball. On it was a line of words: Tell me what you can’t let go of.

When Yu Niaoniao saw this line of words, she immediately felt a sense of injustice. Why did Little Lo get such a simple punishment?!

It was so unfair!

If she had to talk about the most unforgettable thing, she could say it for three days and three nights!

For example, a rabbit she had raised when she was young had disappeared. Later, she found out that it had been made into a dish and brought to the table. She was so angry that she cried as she ate the rabbit meat. She even said that she would never raise a rabbit again.

Another example was the New Year’s money she received when she was young. All of it had been taken away by her mother, who said that she was keeping it for her. In the end, she had kept it until now and had never returned it.

Yu Niaoniao had already imagined countless answers.

However, Lo Pingsha’s expression was solemn, as if he had fallen into some distant memory and did not speak for a long time.

It was as if this question was extremely difficult for him to answer.
