But when she said this, she clearly felt the cold eyes coming from the side. Then she thought of her previous incident of “giving the same gift for three consecutive years”. She was afraid that he would think that she was not paying attention again, so she quickly covered Nian Yin’s bracelet and changed the subject.
It was not often that the mother and daughter talked like this, so even though she was influenced by the people around her, Jiang Wu was in a very good mood.
Until she heard someone shouting.
“The horse racers are coming back soon!”
Her eyes subconsciously looked over there.
Others were still discussing: “Did you see who was in front?”
“I didn’t see it very clearly.”
Someone interrupted: “Do you need to see clearly? It must be the son of the Prime Minister.”
Nian Yin smiled, obviously agreeing, and whispered to her mother, “It must be my brother. His horsemanship is one of the best in the capital.”
Jiang Wu naturally knew this as well, so she looked over there with great joy.
However, no one expected that the first person to appear in everyone’s sight was a strange face.
Jiang Wu and Nian Yin both showed shocked expressions. Nian Yin was shocked because she didn’t expect her brother to lose to someone else, and Jiang Wu was shocked because that face was not unfamiliar to her.
Although she was wearing men’s clothes, wasn’t that Mingzhu?
Jiang Wu covered her mouth with a handkerchief to hide her surprise.
The girl was wearing a white man’s outfit, riding a black horse, with her hair tied up in a high ponytail, looking heroic and androgynous. After a clear “whoosh,” the reins were tightened, and the horse’s two front legs were raised high because it stopped too quickly but then fell steadily.
For a moment, everyone present was stunned. Even Nian Yin was so stunned that she forgot to think about how her brother could lose.
Chu Ling’s brows wrinkled slightly.
After her initial surprise, Jiang Wu couldn’t help but smile. She hadn’t seen Mingzhu for some time. After all, she had to be careful and secretive when meeting Yang Zhou, so naturally there was no chance for her to see her.
She never thought it would happen at this time.
The woman immediately glanced over here, and Jiang Wu felt as if she was looking right at her, and her mood became better.
After a while, Chu Ye appeared from behind, and the onlookers seemed to come back to their senses, and discussions broke out.
Chu Ye, who unexpectedly won second place, did not act too embarrassed. He knew that there were always people better than you, and he was not a competitive person. What was more, this young man was in front of him just now, and he could see clearly that no matter what road it was, he rode smoothly, which showed his extraordinary skills.
Chu Ye admitted defeat and just looked at Zhaoye Yushi with a conflicted look in his eyes. After a moment, he finally walked towards the young man.
“This gentleman looks unfamiliar,” he clasped his fists and bowed, “May I know your name?”
Mo Mingzhu was stroking her beloved horse. Upon hearing this, she glanced in his direction with her narrow phoenix eyes but did not say anything in response.
Chu Ye had rarely been treated so coldly by others, and for a moment he wanted to leave, but when he thought of his mother’s astonished look just now, he restrained himself.
“Sir, I have a request. I wonder if you can give up the prize for today’s horse race? As for the price, it’s up to you.”
It was up to you. Haha, you are so arrogant.
This time, Mo Mingzhu finally turned around and looked at him: “I already have a favorite horse, and I have no intention of giving it up. But why are you so obsessed with this horse?”
As soon as she spoke, Chu Ye was stunned. Although the voice was clear, it was obviously a female voice. There was actually a woman with such amazing riding skills.
“To be honest,” Chu Ye put away his momentary surprise. After hearing her say that, he knew there was hope, so he told her the truth, “My mother likes this horse very much, so I wanted to give it to her.”
Mo Mingzhu’s eyes flashed with emotion, and then she smiled again, a cold smile: “I see, a gentleman should help others achieve their goals, but since you let me give it up, I also want to see the future owner of the horse, what do you think?”
She wasn’t considering giving up before, but now she was ready to give in.
But knowing that she was a woman, Chu Ye was not too wary. After all, she couldn’t have any bad intentions towards his mother. So after a little thought, he agreed.
“Of course you can.”
