Dominion and Devotion Episode 9

Subterfuge

Pei is an excellent chess player. He sees that Zhou knows of his alliance with Ning and is following Zhuo’s suggestion to distance himself and give Ning a chance. I really detest the entire Zhuo family😝 Pei is related by default not by blood. The arrogance of these men truly has no limits. They really have no allegiance to each other but will kill for each other. I do not see how Ning can work her way around all these circumstances but I really hope she figures out something. She knows something is off with Pei so she has been forewarned. But she has no clue what his endgame is. Right now, I don’t think he does either.
