Capítulo 713: Chapter 495 Won
The scene shifted back!
For this group of cyclists in the race, they were not concerned with what would happen in a few days or even a few hours—they were in it for the fun!
After impulsively arguing, Tang Xiyue left without considering the consequences. He went ho, oblivious to the fact that today’s events would bring Ye Fengqi trouble day after day.
At this mont in the race, none of the buddies or those young masters could foresee the trouble their actions would eventually bring upon Ye Fengqi!
Tang Xiyue surged to first place. Perhaps he was fueled by the energy from the argunt, and even though he had been holding back the whole way and even stopped for a rest, he maintained his lead until the finish line and won first place.
Tang Xiyue was extrely happy. Indeed, without his cousin around, he was able to perform so well—he shelled out 50 taels and won 150 taels. What joy!
Although as a young master, he didn’t lack this small amount of money—having always lost and paid out more than he won—this ti it was about honor, sothing that would make him happy for a long ti to co!
Those young talents were still no match!
Sima Roui ca in second. She could have taken first place, but perhaps the previous scene had preoccupied her, keeping her from harnessing more motivation.
There was another reason: she had felt sothing was amiss with her body during the ride, a discomfort mainly in her stomach. She thought it might be due to sothing she ate. In the midst of the race, she didn’t pay it much mind; she couldn’t just quit the race!
After all, finishing second still ant she had made so money, and for a woman, that was a matter of saving face!
Ye Fengqi finished third, earning 80 taels. Having bet 50 taels, she still ca out ahead!
Coming in third made her happy, montarily making her forget the earlier displeasure!
The fourth and fifth place finishers arrived as well, with Pan Zhongdan securing fourth, and another Capital City talent coming in fifth.
These two talents patted their chests, relieved that they had thankfully added a fourth and fifth place to the rules, otherwise they would have faced disgrace!
The chubby contenders who failed to place, having paid money without winning, had expressions of helpless resignation on their faces!
“Haha, I told you guys to lose weight, but you didn’t listen—regretting it now, aren’t you?”
Tang Xiyue went from one brother to another, patting their arms in elation. His brothers felt like he was asking to be punched!
In a quiet mont, Pan Zhongdan and the other young masters stood together, feeling unhappy about their loss. He couldn’t cheer up either, realizing that their group of n had still been outperford by the two young ladies, leaving them feeling helpless and embarrassed.
Sima Roui’s face grew paler, and her maid approached. Seeing her mistress’s condition, she asked with concern, “Lady, what’s making you uncomfortable?”
The maid’s voice wasn’t quiet, and everyone’s gaze turned to Sima Roui, causing her already pale face to redden slightly at this attention.
Sima Roui only felt a peculiar sensation, an urge to…!
She hadn’t yet grasped what was happening to her.
“I…my stomach hurts!”
“Lady, let this maid help you to the carriage to rest!” the maid said anxiously. Being older, she guessed what might be afflicting her lady, but such speculations were not to be voiced amongst so many people.
“Mm,” Sima Roui chose to return to the carriage and to change her clothes!
At that mont, those with sensitive noses began to detect a scent of blood.
The more experienced n and won seed to grasp what was happening.
The younger gentlen and lads were clueless, sniffing around.
“Why is there a sll of blood?”
No one knew who said it out loud!
Si Ma Roui paused as she stepped into the carriage, her senses alert to sothing amiss—the scent of blood!
The maid glanced back disdainfully at the person who had spoken but said nothing more, instead instructing to guard the exterior so that no one could approach the carriage!
Normally, winners and losers of the competition alike would enter the estate to rest and partake in food and drink together!
Though Si Ma Roui didn’t go into the estate, they went on with the plan and entered the estate to distribute the rewards!
Si Ma Roui’s maid changed her clothes inside, then went to the estate to claim the Lady’s prize money. She also brought the Lady a cup of honey tea made with boiled water!
Si Ma Roui received a hundred taels from the maid, who also considerately brought her a cup of warm honey water. After drinking the tea, she felt much better and the discomfort in her body had greatly eased!
Seeing her mistress’s complexion improve, the maid felt a little relieved!
Si Ma Roui shyly asked what was going on?
This was the first ti she had encountered such a thing, and with her mother’s instruction lacking, the maid whispered to her that it was a secret matter among won!
Li Zhijun was waiting in the estate, and after waiting so long, he began to think that this group from the competition had turned back halfway!
Ultimately, he did receive them and returned the money he had collected from them!
The n and won who had received their rewards, along with those who hadn’t, all began discussing the day’s events!
From their conversation, Li Zhijun gleaned information about what had transpired and realized that sothing extraordinary had happened!
He felt sowhat regretful for not paying special attention before. Others might not have any issues, but just as it had happened before, his niece had been bullied without even speaking a word or blocking anyone’s way!
He was angry that as her uncle, he wasn’t there to protect her in the absence of other adults!
He believed that such people deserved to fall into a fishpond!
“Niece, that family might co looking for trouble with you after today!”
Li Zhijun’s words were sothing Ye Fengqi had anticipated too, and she could only feel helpless!
“If they bla and I can’t afford to offend them, can’t I just hide?”
Upon hearing their conversation, Tang Xiyue realized that today’s conflict had originated between him and those people.
“A person must bear the consequences of their actions. If they co to you for reparation, tell them to co to !”
Ye Fengqi rolled her eyes at him, “You once said ‘only the softest persimmons get squeezed.’ I’m giving your words back to you!”
“So what should we do? I’ll give you the money I won. If they ask for compensation, you can handle it as you see fit!”
Tang Xiyue knew he had caused trouble, and now Ye Fengqi would have to deal with the consequence in the future.
How could Ye Fengqi complain when Tang Xiyue was being so righteous in offering the money?
The others also took out the money they had won. Pan Zhongdan and the young gentleman also made a show of their righteousness!
Only Si Ma Roui’s maid paid no heed to their discussions, having taken the reward to prepare the estate’s special honey tea to comfort her mistress!
“Niece, talk to your parents tonight, then go take refuge sowhere, like your grandmother’s or another relative’s house, or even staying in the estate is fine!” Li Zhijun suggested.
“I want to stay far away! If only I could go to Capital City, then I wouldn’t have to deal with those people’s faces ever again!” Ye Fengqi carelessly voiced the thoughts in her heart!
