Female Master: Why doesn’t my wife love me yet?

Chapter 171 Sorry, the horse slipped

"Really don't need it?"

Gu Qingyuan was worried about him and asked again.

Wen Shubai nodded fiercely, grabbed her hand, put it on his face, and rubbed it on her palm.

His face was smooth and delicate to the touch, with barely any hair visible.

In the morning light, his eyes were firm and gentle, and one look at them would draw you in.

"Forget it, since you want to go, let Zhaomei and Panmei follow."

After all, they both practiced martial arts with him for a while, so they were still able to protect Wen Shubai.

Then, after washing up and having dinner, the two of them continued to the horse farm.

Ji Mingzhao was left behind by Gu Qingyuan to rest. He was pregnant and felt a little unwell after being out all day. Gu Qingyuan did not agree to let him go with her.

She took Wen Shubai, Chunfen, Zhaomei and Panmei with her.

After Gu Qingyuan passed by, the herdsman supervisor saw her and said apologetically, "Young Master Gu, several people at the stable have admitted that they put drugs in the grass, and they have already been punished."

"Really?"

Gu Qingyuan sneered and continued to ask, "If I remember correctly, this horse was allocated later. How did the person who drugged the horse know that I would ride it?"

Her question stumped the herdsman. Yes, he was only concerned with finding out who put drugs in the grass, but forgot to investigate who knew precisely that Young Master Gu wanted to ride this horse and put drugs in the grass that the horse ate.

The others' horses were fine.

"Please give me some more time, Master Gu. I will definitely give you an explanation."

"That's all."

Gu Qingyuan didn't want to embarrass an uninformed pastoral supervisor, so she just reminded her, "Why not start with the people around you and find out what happened?"

The herdsman was immediately awakened and nodded, "Okay, I'll have someone check it out."

At the same time, the queen in the palace was also asking people to investigate who interfered with the martial arts competition.

The martial arts tournament was held by the royal family, and ordinary people's hands probably couldn't stretch that far.

Eunuch Li stood beside the empress and didn't dare to breathe heavily. The incident with the third princess had just ended a few days ago, and the empress was very angry.

Something happened again at the martial arts competition yesterday. Wasn’t someone openly provoking her?

"Has the matter come to any conclusion?" The Queen turned her head and asked Eunuch Li.

"Your Majesty, regarding the incident during the first round of yesterday's martial arts tournament, I went to inquire about it. They said the flags collapsed because they were not securely placed. The platform also collapsed because it was not firmly built."

The Queen did not speak, but said, "Let someone continue to investigate and see who has set his sights on me."

In fact, the martial arts tournament is more accurately described as a competition for the Queen to select talents.

Generous prizes are used to lure capable people from all over the country to come to the capital to compete, and the selected talents can be brought into the palace.

Even Weiwei Lin was selected to work in the palace after participating in a martial arts competition.

The empress had high hopes for the girl named You Yu, but unfortunately she just didn't want to enter the palace.

……

The martial arts competition continued in full swing.

Because of what happened yesterday, the results of the third competition were invalidated, and the person who originally reached the finish line first was quite dissatisfied.

"It was clearly Gu Qingyuan's mistake alone, so why should all of us have to compete again with her?"

"Shh, keep your voice down. I'm the young master."

"What happened, young master?"

The woman raised her voice and looked at Gu Qingyuan with resentment, "She was just born into a good family. Everyone knows that she, Gu Qingyuan, is a bully in the capital and has a bad reputation. Humph, wait and see what I have to say."

The woman's friend asked in horror, "Rongrong, what are you going to do?"

"Don't worry, I'm just teaching her a lesson."

The woman called "Rongrong" said.

She wants to settle all the new and old grudges with Gu Qingyuan.

Last time, Ji Yunzheng ran away, and I heard that he also ran into Gu Qingyuan. That bastard actually wanted to ask Gu Qingyuan for help. What a shameless thing.

The same referee as yesterday read out the rules. This time they selected a new group of horses for the contestants and only assigned them horses after making sure that what happened yesterday would not happen again.

The group of people rode on their own horses again. Gu Qingyuan patted the horse's back and said, "Good buddy, if you can lead me to win the competition later, I will give you the freshest grass to eat."

I thought the horse wouldn't respond, but when it heard Gu Qingyuan's words, it suddenly turned its head. When I looked closely, there was actually...expectation in its eyes?

Gu Qingyuan laughed, not knowing if it understood or not, and continued to talk to herself, "It's true, but you can't be like the horse that took me yesterday and almost made me fall off."

The horse in front of Gu Qingyuan lowered its head a little, and then Gu Qingyuan climbed onto the horse. In order to cooperate with her, the horse actually bent down on its own initiative.

The third competition officially begins.

At the referee's command, everyone galloped on their horses.

The horse that Gu Qingyuan was riding seemed to be trying to show off. It ran the fastest and had already overtaken several people.

A group of people were riding horses and running forward in a mighty procession. The sound of horse hooves made people feel excited.

However, at this moment, a horse suddenly jumped out from behind Gu Qingyuan and hit her hard as it passed by her.

Gu Qingyuan's body shook and he felt a surge of impact.

Looking forward, I saw a hint of green clothing.

You dare to bump into her, right? Gu Qingyuan smiled coldly. She whipped the horse and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, buddy, but the venue is so big, and that person deliberately bumped into me. We can't let others bully us, right?"

The horse that Gu Qingyuan was riding was indeed very human-like. After Gu Qingyuan whipped it and said those words, it immediately spread out its four hooves and ran away, and then hit the person in front of it hard.

But that person didn't seem to have as good a balance as Gu Qingyuan. After being bumped, he almost fell off the horse.

"Sorry, the horse is slippery."

Gu Qingyuan said lightly as he passed by her.

There is no such item in the rules, and that person only dared to bump into me because he knew this very well.

After Gu Qingyuan crashed back, he felt much better.

Moreover, she had surpassed the woman by some distance, and there were only two people ahead of her.

Finally, we are getting closer and closer to the finish line.

Gu Qingyuan seized the opportunity and actually surpassed the two people directly.

"Xu..."

After reaching the finish line, Gu Qingyuan stopped the horse and dismounted. "It's a pleasure to cooperate with you. I'll feed you the freshest grass later."

Afterwards, the others arrived at the finish line one after another. You Yu was third. After getting off his horse, he asked Gu Qingyuan, "Why did I see you talking to the horse?"

"Ah, I was telling it that we came in first place this time."
