"If she doesn't like you, you don't have to avoid her." Zhao Zhi said calmly: "There is no need to be afraid of her."
"I'm not afraid." Li Can hugged his waist with both hands: "I just don't want to see her, it's too bad."
She didn't do anything wrong, why did Zhao Luan always treat her like that?
"Then don't go." Zhao Xie stroked the top of her hair: "That knot you said you wanted to learn last time, I will teach you when you get back."
"Okay." Li Can happily agreed.
＊
In that carriage, Zhao Minghui rode his horse and followed Li Can from a distance for a while. When he reached a fork in the road, he turned a corner and planned to go for a horse race in the countryside.
He felt heavy in his heart.
After going out, the relationship between Li Can and Zhao Zie seems to have become closer.
In the past, if Li Can ran out to have wine and watch a show with them, Zhao Zong would definitely go in and catch him.
At that time, Li Can was reluctant to follow Zhao Zong back to the East Palace and always had to resist.
But today, it seemed that she and Zhao Zhen were getting along very well, so she got into the carriage and followed him.
The horse was walking slowly, his face was as heavy as water, his eyes were dim, and his mind was in a trance.
After an unknown amount of time, he had already left the city. The surroundings were quiet except for the sound of horse hooves. He suddenly noticed that the sound of horse hooves in his ears was wrong. It did not seem to be the sound of a horse.
He frowned, looked back, and saw Liu Zhenlian riding a horse with Kong Wenru behind him.
When Liu Zhenlian saw him turning around, she immediately showed a provocative smile, while Kong Wenru hid behind Liu Zhenlian, not daring to look up at him.
"Liu Zhenlian, why are you so crazy? Why are you following me?" Zhao Minghui stopped his horse and turned around to question. He was really annoyed.
"As you said, this official road belongs to your family?" Liu Zhenlian also reined in the horse: "Can you walk? I can't?"
"This is outside the city, be careful if someone kidnaps you." Zhao Minghui threatened her.
"Tch!" Liu Zhenlian was not afraid of anything, so she did not take these words seriously: "You should just worry about yourself."
"I'm too lazy to care about you."
Zhao Minghui flicked his long whip, scolded lightly, and the horse started to run quickly.
"Sit tight." Liu Zhenlian told Kong Wenru, then swung her whip and chased after him.
"Stop chasing Lianzi, I'm afraid." Kong Wenru hugged her waist tightly.
"What are you afraid of? I'm the best at riding horses." Liu Zhenlian had no intention of stopping.
"If you chase me again... the Duke will be angry..." Kong Wenru was afraid: "He was already angry just now."
"Do you care whether he is angry or not?" Liu Zhenlian didn't care: "You are his fiancée and you should have followed him."
"But..." Kong Wenru was terribly scared: "Please stop, let's go back, I'm afraid..."
"Just hold me tight, I can still hold you..." Liu Zhenlian stopped mid-sentence and suddenly pulled on the reins.
It was Zhao Minghui in front who suddenly reined in his horse.
Liu Zhenlian's horse was suddenly reined in while galloping. It neighed and raised its two front hooves.
"ah--"
Kong Wenru had never sat on a horse, let alone galloped like this.
She was already scared in her heart and worried that Zhao Minghui would be angry, so she slipped off the horse before she had time to react.
Zhao Minghui was about to speak to Liu Zhenlian, but when he saw Kong Wenru getting off his horse, he was so shocked that his peach blossom eyes widened.
Liu Zhenlian was even more surprised and hurriedly reached out to pull it, but she couldn't reach it in time.
She hurriedly jumped off the horse and helped Kong Wenru: "Wenru, are you okay?"
Kong Wenru fell, and the pain was not severe, but as she grew up, how had she ever lost such a person?
This was still in front of Zhao Minghui. She felt anxious and started crying.
"You just watch and don't come to help!" Liu Zhenlian scolded Zhao Minghui.
"Don't blame me for the trouble you caused yourself." Zhao Minghui replied, but he still got off his horse and stepped forward to check.
Liu Zhenlian helped Kong Wenru up and replied: "Isn't this your fault? If you hadn't reined in the horse suddenly, would this have happened?"
"You really know how to bite back." Zhao Minghui almost made her laugh out loud: "If you hadn't had to take her to follow me, would something like this have happened?"
Kong Wenru did not persuade them this time, but just covered her face and cried.
"Is there any severe pain?" Liu Zhenlian patted the dust on her body up and down and asked her.
Kong Wenru shook his head.
"That's good, the bones should be intact." Liu Zhenlian looked around and had another idea.
She led the horse and turned around: "Let's go back."
"You shouldn't have come." Zhao Minghui glanced at her.
It was rare for Liu Zhenlian not to argue with him and get on top of his horse.
Zhao Minghui also turned and walked towards his horse.
Kong Wenru raised his head and stretched out his hand towards Liu Zhenlian.
Liu Zhenlian held the reins with both hands and laughed openly: "Don't follow me, follow your fiancé, drive!"
As she spoke, she flicked her whip and rode off.
"Lianzi..." Kong Wenru was shocked and turned pale, but how could he call her out?
Zhao Minghui held the horse and cursed in a low voice. He was so angry that his handsome face turned red. Liu Zhenlian was just looking for trouble!
Kong Wenru looked back at him, not daring to speak.
Neither of them spoke for a while.
After a while, Zhao Minghui led the horse and walked towards Kong Wenru.
Kong Wenru made a white face and saluted: "Master Guo, I... I can go back by myself, but I don't know the road. Can you ride slower and let me follow you..."
She knew in her heart that Zhao Minghui would never ride with her.
If possible, she didn't want to trouble Zhao Minghui. She was afraid that he would be disgusted and would not want to see her in the future.
Zhao Minghui looked at her and took a deep breath: "Get on the horse."
"What?" Kong Wenru couldn't believe her ears and asked subconsciously.
"I asked you to go up, can you go up yourself?" Zhao Minghui asked her in a calm tone.
"I, let me try." Kong Wenru was so excited that he didn't know where to put his hands.
Her heart was beating loudly and rapidly. Was Zhao Minghui going to take her on horseback?
Is she dreaming?
Zhao Minghui said nothing and looked at her patiently.
Kong Wenru thought about the method Liu Zhenlian taught her to get on the horse. After trying it several times and sweating, she finally got on the horse.
"It's done." Zhao Minghui led the horse back glumly.
He didn't want to ride with anyone except Cancan.
But Kong Wenru had a daughter and was an honest person, so he couldn't leave her in the wilderness, so he had to do this.
The longer this marriage is delayed, the harder it will be to cancel it. Does he really want to spend his life with this dull girl?
"Mr. Guo, please... let me down..." Kong Wenru sat on it in fear, unable to speak at all.
When she realized that Zhao Minghui didn't want to get on the horse, but was holding the horse for her, she was so frightened that she trembled all over.
How does this work?
How virtuous and capable is she?
Not to mention Zhao Minghui's noble status, but to say that men are superior to women, there is no reason in Dayuan for a man's family to lead a horse for his daughter's family.
"What are you doing here?" Zhao Minghui looked lazily into the distance without looking back.
"You, you sit down, I...I will lead the horse for you." Kong Wenru stuttered.
Zhao Minghui laughed and looked back at her: "You dare to lead the horse?"
Kong Wenru suddenly became quiet, feeling embarrassed and shy, and his little face turned red.
She really didn't dare to lead the horse.
Zhao Minghui looks so pretty when he smiles.
This was the first time she saw Zhao Minghui smiling at her.
At first, she never blamed Liu Zhenlian, but now, she has begun to be grateful to her.
