Cheng Wanwan woke up to find herself transformed into a 33-year-old peasant woman in the ancient Dahe Village.
Four sons knelt before her, calling her “Mother,” and her daughter-in-law wa...
Chapter 717 It's now called Yueying
Everyone was so frightened that they all backed away.
"It's a wolf!"
"How could there be wolves here?"
"Didn't the King of Qin arrange for the hunting grounds to be cleared?"
Not only the people, but even the BMWs present became restless with fear.
The horse under Rongqing was so frightened that it ran around wildly. Rongqing lost her balance and almost fell off the horse, but fortunately the maid reacted quickly and helped her down.
That gray blob was a wild wolf.
It rushed towards her at the speed of light, slowed down just before it arrived, and then rushed in front of Cheng Wanwan.
"Lady Sui, watch out!" a noblewoman cried out in alarm. "Help! Help!"
The wealthy ladies were terrified.
They came to hunt, not to become food for wild animals.
Rong Qing was helped back quickly by her maid. She watched coldly as the wolf got closer and closer to Cheng Wanwan, a barely perceptible hint of ruthlessness appearing on her lips.
However--
Just then, something happened that left everyone speechless.
The wolf actually put down its two front legs, lay down on the ground, and rubbed against Cheng Wanwan's legs.
This doesn't look like a wolf at all; it looks more like a dog!
And it's the kind of dog that's very docile.
Cheng Wanwan was indeed startled when the wolf charged out.
But then this guy suddenly rubbed against her calf, and that familiar feeling came back – it was her little brother!
However, it had been more than a year since she last saw him, and he had grown taller and stronger, completely changing his appearance, so she didn't recognize him at all.
However, only the little one's family would do such a fawning thing—they wanted her to feed them jerky.
She was dressed in riding attire today, without wide sleeves to conceal her actions, so she couldn't feed the wolf in public. She could only soothingly rub its head.
Having finally caught a familiar scent, the wolf wasn't about to give up so easily. It used all four limbs to grab Cheng Wanwan's leg, howling incessantly.
"It's Grey!" Cindy exclaimed happily. "I never imagined Grey would grow up so big..."
"It's not called Grey Grey anymore, it's called Yueying." The King of Qin rode over on his tall horse at some point, and snorted, "I feed it well and treat it well, but it never even gives me a second glance. It's truly heartless."
At today's hunting party, he shamelessly borrowed Yueying from his elder brother, hoping that Yueying would intimidate the prey in the jungle and allow him to win first place.
As soon as he got out of the car with Yueying, this guy kept sniffing around and disappeared in the blink of an eye. It turned out he was still thinking about his old master.
The onlookers were extremely surprised. It turned out that this was the wolf that Eunuch Ming had brought from Dahe Town to present to the Emperor.
They had heard of Yueying long ago, but had never seen her, because after Yueying came to the capital, she stayed on the back mountain of the royal palace, and they had never had the opportunity to see her.
Seeing this, I couldn't help but marvel; it turns out that wild wolves really can be friendly with people.
Look at that wolf, it looks like a little kitten, making them all drool and want to pet it.
"So this is my brother's Yueying." Princess Rongqing suddenly spoke up. "It seems that Yueying and Consort Sui are quite familiar with each other. If that's the case, why did Consort Sui let Yueying scare us just now?"
The maid behind her whispered, "The princess almost fell off her horse. It's all Consort Sui's fault for not calling Yueying beforehand..."
The King of Qin lazily picked at his ear: "What did you just say?"
The maid glanced at her mistress before daring to step forward and kneel down, saying, "This servant thinks that since Sui Shuren and Yue Ying are so familiar with each other, we should have stopped Yue Ying earlier. Otherwise, if the princess had fallen and gotten hurt, the Empress Dowager would have been heartbroken..."
"Guards!" the King of Qin ordered coldly, "Slap him!"
Rongqing was taken aback and quickly stood in front of the maid: "Sixth Brother, what are you doing?"
Slapping her personal maid in public is the same as slapping her in the face. Has Sixth Brother gone mad?
"A mere palace maid dares to criticize Consort Sui? What is she?" King Qin glanced at Rong Qing. "You're so gentle, yet you're practically letting a palace maid ride roughshod over you. Sixth Brother will teach her a lesson. Guards, give her twenty slaps."
"yes!"
The King of Qin's confidant stepped forward, raised his hand, and slapped him hard.
Clap clap clap!
A loud slap echoed through the forest, and the scene fell silent. No one dared to speak, except for Huihui, who was oblivious to everything and was still acting coquettishly towards Cheng Wanwan.
While everyone's attention was on that side, Cheng Wanwan quietly fed the guy a handful of dried meat.
She looked up and took in the livid face of Princess Rongqing.
The princess was already hostile towards her, and this completely ruined their relationship.
What terrible thing has she done to deserve this? At her age, she's offended a woman because of a rotten romantic interest.
In this world, women and petty men are the most difficult to deal with. Offending Princess Rongqing means there are countless troubles to come.
Turning enemies into friends is probably impossible, but she needs to indirectly prove that she really has no interest in the King of Qin.
The twenty slaps were quickly finished. The maid's cheeks were red and swollen, her eyes were filled with tears, but she dared not cry. She was almost fainting.
"Why is everyone so quiet?" King Qin asked with a nonchalant smile. "The mountains east of Linxi have been cordoned off, and no wild beasts will be able to enter. We'll have half an hour to decide who catches the most prey and who will be the winner of the day. What do you say?"
The group of spoiled rich kids who followed the King of Qin immediately cheered.
"Today's prize is a jade ruyi brought out by the Empress Dowager, which I have been eyeing for a long time."
"King Qin, you'd better give us some leeway and not steal all the limelight."
"Enough talk, let's go! Giddy up!"
Dozens of horses galloped off like the wind.
Yueying probably participated in hunting often, and after eating the dried meat, she joined in the fun.
The men were passionate about hunting, and some women also enjoyed it, so they followed a little slower.
However, most of the women were just there for fun, riding around on horseback and enjoying the scenery as if they were attending a hunting party.
Cheng Wanwan had her own things to do while hunting, and before Princess Rongqing could make a move, she mounted her horse and sped away from the scene with Yan Hong.
Rongqing's face was so gloomy it seemed like it could drip water. Although everyone in the capital knew that she was not of royal blood, her status was still noble, and no one had ever dared to disrespect her like this.
Sixth Brother used to treat her very well, but for this wretched woman, he actually embarrassed her in public.
Previously, her informant had told her that Sixth Brother had fallen in love with a widow in Huzhou, but she scoffed at it, thinking it was nonsense.
She had seen this vile woman at Kunning Palace the day before yesterday, and she knew that Sixth Brother was very likely to fall for her. This vile woman was not the old widow she had imagined; on the contrary, she was very young and had a very attractive aura. It was normal for Sixth Brother to be attracted to her...
But she never expected that her sixth brother cared more about this wretched woman than about her, his nominal sister…
How could she possibly tolerate this?
Rong Qing pulled on the reins, lowered his voice, and said slowly and deliberately, "Arrange for someone to follow her. This princess will make sure she can't leave Linxi."
The guards behind her immediately obeyed and disappeared discreetly.
