Chapter 1346: Chapter 1122, Princess Chun’an Misled by Storybooks 3_2
Madam Yuan shook her head, “This girl’s character is already set. She may be fine in Xiliang, but once she returns to Beijing, she will surely be disliked. In the future, we can only find her a husband in Xiliang.”
With that, she took a sip of tea handed to her by her nanny.
“There’s no rush for Ruyi’s matters, but as for Yonghao… He’s already twenty-one this year, so we must quickly settle his marriage.”
She sighed again.
“Our family has been residing in Xiliang for a long ti. We hardly know any good girls. Though I’ve asked my sister-in-law to help look in Beijing, I’m still not at ease without seeing them with my own eyes.”
Nanny: “Madam… don’t you like Miss Ren?”
Madam Yuan didn’t speak imdiately. After a mont of silence, she finally said, “The Ren family has a decent status, but with Miss Ren’s frail appearance, how can I believe she has the ability to support the Yuan family with Yonghao?”
“It’s not that there’s anything wrong with that girl. She’s just like a delicate flower in a vase that needs constant care. I don’t want Yonghao to be too burdened in the future.”
“Besides, from what I’ve observed, Yonghao doesn’t seem to like Miss Ren that much.”
The nanny was taken aback, “But the young master has gotten into several fights with Young Master Cao because of Miss Ren.”
Madam Yuan chuckled, “He isn’t fighting because of Miss Ren. He’s just simply unwilling to lose to Young Master Cao.” After pausing, she continued, “Before coming to Ganzhou, the master ntioned the young lady from the Dong Family to .”
Nanny: “The daughter of Magistrate Dong from Ganzhou?”
Madam Yuan nodded, “The master has great admiration for Magistrate Dong’s talents. Although Magistrate Dong is currently just a fourth-rank official, with the support of Prince Wei Yuan, it’s quite easy for him to get promoted with his abilities.”
“Furthermore, the Dong family hails from the high-ranking Marquis Residence in Beijing, a noble family. Although they suffered a setback in the past, haven’t they already made a coback? A girl nurtured in such a family must be extraordinary.”
Nanny: “Even so, Madam, why not find an opportunity to et with Madam Dong and Miss Dong?”
Madam Yuan smiled, “We certainly must et, but at a suitable ti.”
…
Dong Residence.
“I’m bored to death. When can we leave the residence to have so fun?” Xiao Keyan said with boredom, picking at the petals of a flower.
Dong Jingyi laughed, “Just hold on for two more days. I heard from my brother that the racetrack is almost ready, and then we can go horse riding.”
Xiao Keyan perked up, “Really? Finally, we can get out and do sothing!”
Two days later, accompanied by Dong Zhenghua, Xiao Keyan, Dong Jingyi, and Sun Lanxin arrived at the racetrack, looking dashing in their riding outfits.
Seeing the open expanse of the racetrack, Xiao Keyan smiled at the Dong siblings, “Brother Dong, Jingyi, Lanxin, how about we have a little competition to see whose riding skills are better?”
Dong Jingyi and Sun Lanxin imdiately nodded in agreent.
Seeing the three eager to compete, Dong Zhenghua smiled helplessly, “Since you all want to compete, I’ll just have to join in.”
The four of them rode their horses to the starting point. As soon as they saw the maid waving the flag, they shot out like arrows.
Besides Xiao Keyan and her group, there were others on the racetrack. Although the horse racing event hadn’t officially started, many had already co to familiarize themselves with the venue.
“Giddy up~”
Xiao Keyan’s riding skills were taught personally by Xiao Yeyang. Even against her brother or her younger cousins, she feared nothing. Before long, she left Dong Jingyi and Sun Lanxin behind and was currently neck and neck with Dong Zhenghua.
anwhile, outside the racetrack at the stables, Yuan Yonghao was saddling his beloved horse. Just after he finished, he heard a burst of cheers. Looking over, he saw a graceful figure riding swiftly on the racetrack.
Yuan Yonghao’s eyes lit up, and he quickly mounted his horse and rode towards the racetrack.
“Brother Dong, I’ll take the lead!”
Perhaps Xiao Keyan’s horse had a better build or perhaps Dong Zhenghua was intentionally letting her win. After a chase, Xiao Keyan overtook Dong Zhenghua and quickly widened the gap between them.
“Giddy up~”
Just as the finish line appeared in sight, Xiao Keyan suddenly heard the sound of galloping hooves behind her. Turning back, she saw Yuan Yonghao coming up rapidly beside her.
“Miss Dong, your riding skills are excellent!”
Xiao Keyan was taken aback for a mont.
Miss Dong?
Is he talking to her?
Thinking of how he was ignored by her several tis before, Yuan Yonghao pointed to the finish line ahead with fluttering ribbons and said, “Miss, do you dare to race with to see who reaches the finish line first?”
