Quick Wear: Reversing Life

Chapter 520: The eldest daughter-in-law of a wealthy family (42)

At this extremely dangerous moment, Fu Huaiying hooked one foot on the stirrup, held the reins tightly with one hand, and used the other hand holding the baseball bat to push himself up, relying on the strength of his waist, abdomen and legs to sit upright on the horse's back.

After sitting firmly, she quickly pulled the reins to stop the horse.

There was no sign of panic on her face throughout the whole process.

The eldest princess had already ridden her horse to her side and said with lingering fear, "Thank goodness you're okay. What happened to the horse?"

"I don't know either. Maybe it was affected by the noise." Fu Huaiying touched the horse's neck to comfort it.

"Are you okay?" The others also rode over and surrounded Fu Huaiying to ask.

Fu Huaiying smiled faintly: "Thank you all for your concern, I am unharmed."

"That scene just now was too dangerous! It scared me."

Falling off a horse is no joke and can easily lead to death.

Princess Jiaci asked, "Then how will the winner of this competition be determined?"

Everyone looked at the polo ball, which was only one step away from the green team's goal.

The general's daughter bowed and said, "If it weren't for the horse's problem, with Madam Fu's superb golf skills, the ball would have gone into the hole long ago." She smiled brightly and said, "My name is Lü Zhengjiao. I am convinced of my defeat to the Princess and Madam Fu."

"Yes, this polo game was really exciting."

At this time, guards had already run in from outside the enclosure.

"I'm late in escorting you, please forgive me, Princess."

"Send a renowned medical officer to examine Madam Fu thoroughly," the princess said, "to ensure there are no hidden dangers."

The man in charge of the stables came running over.

"Your Highness, please forgive me. The horses in this stable are all carefully selected and docile. The horse Madam Fu rode has also competed in polo matches before. This... I don't know why this horse suddenly became so aggressive and uncontrollable today..."

Princess Jiaci asked, "You mean... someone has tampered with this horse?"

Lu Zhengjiao frowned, "Who is so bold? How dare they do such a vile thing right under the noses of His Majesty and the Princess?"

The eldest princess looked down from above, with a stern expression and full of majesty.

"A thorough investigation."

...

The Minister of the Imperial Household, who was in charge of the carriages, horses and livestock in the palace, was now sweating profusely.

On the high platform, the emperor on the golden dragon throne looked at the Minister of the Imperial Household: "What's going on?"

The horse got into an accident in front of everyone, but fortunately the woman was agile and nothing serious happened.

Otherwise, if he died on the racecourse in front of so many people, it would be a challenge to the royal dignity.

The Minister of the Imperial Household hurried forward to apologize, "Your Majesty, the horses in the stables have been carefully selected. However, even a horse, even if it is very humane, is still an animal. Perhaps due to the excessive noise and the fact that this was Madam Fu's first time riding this horse, she didn't coordinate well, which led to the accident."

Not long after he finished speaking, someone came to report that a wooden nail was found on the brown horse's front hoof.

Upon hearing this, the Minister of the Imperial Household's eyes widened.

"Why...why...why are there wooden nails on the horseshoes?!"

Although the main halls in the palace are all built with wooden mortise and tenon structures, wooden nails are still used for fixing.

The wooden nail was able to be inserted into the horse's hoof, it must have been done intentionally by someone.

The Minister of the Imperial Household quickly knelt down and saluted:

"This matter is due to my negligence. I will investigate it thoroughly right away."

...

Outside the enclosure, the eldest princess looked very unhappy.

"This horse is indeed tampered with."

Lady Jiaci said from the side, "How audacious! Fortunately, Madam Fu is blessed with a long life. If anything had really happened, no one would have been able to take the blame."

"Who on earth could have done this? Go and investigate!" Lu Tianjiao said, "Go and interrogate every servant who has been to the stables today. They'll leave their mark, and we'll definitely get to the bottom of this."

At this time, Fu Huaiying was being examined by the imperial physician in a tent a few meters away.

"My wife is fine. The reins rubbed the palm of her hand a little. It will be fine after some medicine."

"Thank you, doctor."

After the imperial physician finished the examination, he packed up his things and left the tent to report to the eldest princess.

Fu Huaiying lowered his head and was applying medicine to the abrasions on the palm of his hand.

At this moment, a person suddenly walked in from behind, and rustling footsteps were heard.

The footsteps did not belong to anyone she knew. Fu Huaiying frowned and turned around, and unexpectedly met the other person's eyes.

"...Madam Fu."

The person who came had an elegant face, bright eyes and sparse eyebrows, and he stood out particularly in this gray tent.

He lowered his head slightly, and his soft eyes looked at Fu Huaiying, as if silently expressing his inner friendship.

Fu Huaiying smiled politely: "Tanhua Lang."

Jian Fengchun took a step forward and his eyes fell on the red mark on the palm of her hand.

He said nothing, took the medicine bag from Fu Huaiying's hand and applied the medicine to her.

"Does it hurt?"

“…It doesn’t hurt.”

Compared to the past, this injury is nothing to Huaiying.

Tanhualang was silent for a long time and sighed.

"Ying'er, you used to be very afraid of pain." Jian Fengchun said slowly, "Is it because they were all mean to you?"

Fu Huaiying lowered her eyes, watched the movements of his hands, and said softly, "That's all in the past."

Jian Fengchun paused and unconsciously clenched the medicine bag in his hand tightly.

"...What about what happened between us?"

"Is it over too?"

Fu Huaiying didn't expect him to bring up the past, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

Jian Fengchun pressed on: "Madam Fu, if your mother hadn't asked you to go to the Marquis's mansion to be a concubine, we wouldn't have been separated for five years."

Fu Huaiying frowned: "Master Jian, this is the royal hunting ground, be careful with your words!"

Jian Fengchun's gaze was fixed on Fu Huaiying, not letting go for a moment. He lowered his voice, but reached out and grabbed Fu Huaiying's fingertips.

"We agreed that when I passed the imperial examination, I would come and ask you to be my wife, and you agreed."

"Now that you've divorced, isn't it time to fulfill your promise?"

Fu Huaiying was completely overwhelmed after hearing this.

The person who made a promise to him was the original owner, and the person he had an emotional foundation with was also the original owner.

There was clearly no such person as Jian Fengchun in the previous life, so why did he suddenly appear now?

"Master Jian, we were all ignorant before. Now five years have passed, and a lot has changed in these five years—"

"Ying'er, do you mean that you no longer have any affection for me?"

Fu Huaiying raised his eyes to look at Jian Fengchun, only to see that his eyes were slightly red and his eyes were moist and bright.

Is this person crying?!

Fu Huaiying’s head became even bigger.

If a couple cries, she will naturally be happy to comfort their partner, and she also likes to treat this as a fun thing between the two of them.

But she had no feelings for Jian Fengchun, and the original owner's emotional memories of him had also faded, so she was a little at a loss about what to do.
