Chapter 065: Riding a Horse

Wen Yan lifted the curtain and looked, and it was Lan Tingxue and his group again.

Lan Tingxue led the noble ladies and ignored the request of the soldiers guarding the city to stop their horses for routine inspection. She simply tightened the reins and let the horses jump over the soldiers' heads.

The soldiers had never seen such an arrogant person, and they almost died under the horse's hooves when they realized it too late.

His legs went weak and he fell to the ground.

The other noble ladies were not as arrogant as Lan Tingxue. They all slowed down their horses and walked around the soldier.

There were more pedestrians in the city than outside. Lan Tingxue not only did not slow down, but instead whipped the horse, urging it to run faster.

For a moment, the people passing by were so scared that they screamed and avoided the scene.

Someone rolled to the side of the road.

Some vendors' stalls were also knocked over.

For a moment, there was chaos on Zhuque Avenue.

Some people lost property and some suffered minor injuries.

Lan Tingxue rode her horse while laughing and scattering handfuls of copper coins: "Hurry up and pick them up, hahahaha, these are all rewards given to you by this princess, hahahaha..."

Lan Tingxue was so happy and carefree.

The other noble ladies turned pale with fear.

You should know that there is a rule in Dayong Imperial City that except for the urgent military reports of 800 miles and the messengers with feather letters, no one else is allowed to ride a horse in the capital.

When the current crown prince was young, he hunted a wild rabbit and wanted to return to the capital to present it to the late emperor.

Although the late emperor was happy, he believed that etiquette and laws could not be abolished, so he immediately slapped the prince's palm ten times.

The prince's hands were so swollen that he couldn't lift anything for half a month.

But they are just ordinary servants, how can they compare with the prince?

Thinking of the consequences of riding horses in the busy streets of the capital, the noble ladies looked at each other and felt hopeless.

I wish I could go back to the early morning and give myself a few slaps in the face so that I can’t control my legs and want to curry favor with the princess.

In their previous life, Wen Yan and the Meng family did not go to Dazhao Temple to burn incense, so naturally they had never seen the scene of Lan Tingxue riding a horse with their own eyes.

But she remembered an old story.

Around this time in the previous life, Princess Ruixue was riding her horse in the city and trampled on a mother and daughter.

The daughter died on the spot.

The mother who protected her daughter with her own body passed away within two days.

The husband's family was both sad and angry, and reported Lan Tingxue to the government.

When Concubine Lan learned about this, she asked her most capable aunt in charge to come forward and resolve the matter.

The deceased's family were ordinary people, facing such powerful people.

In the end, the Lan family compensated the deceased's husband's family with two hundred taels of silver, and Lan Tingxue was beaten with ten boards and was not allowed to ride a horse in the capital from then on.

A month later, the deceased's husband's family also disappeared from the capital.

Thinking of the tragedy in his previous life, Wen Yan was shocked.

Following the sound of horse hooves, I saw a three or four-year-old girl crying loudly in fear in the middle of the road.

Lan Tingxue's horse galloped away straight ahead.

Lan Tingxue angrily shouted, "Get out of here!"

The girl was so frightened that she could do nothing but cry.

The child's mother screamed in fear and rushed over to protect him.

"Sister Chi Fei!" Wen Yan shouted, "Help!"

Meng Chifei had already seen the situation over there.

Almost as soon as Wen Yan called her, she had already jumped onto the horse's back and flew towards Lan Tingxue using her lightness skills.

It looked like the horse's hoof was about to step on the mother and daughter.

Meng Chifei landed beside the horse and punched its shoulder.

The horse neighed and flew sideways.

The pedestrians on the roadside screamed and scattered in fear.

Lan Tingxue fell to the ground with her horse, with one of her legs trapped under the horse's back.

She suddenly let out a heart-wrenching scream: "My legs! My legs!"

Although Lan Tingxue can ride a horse, she is actually a weak woman who can't even tie a chicken.

Being pinned down by the horse, he had no power to resist.

The horse fell to the ground, struggling with its four legs, trying to stand up again, but failed.

Every time it struggled, it caused secondary damage to Lan Tingxue's left leg, and Lan Tingxue screamed in pain.

The mother held her daughter in her arms and kowtowed to Meng Chifei repeatedly.

Meng Chifei waved his hand: "Take your daughter to the clinic to see if she gets sick."

"Thank you, benefactor." The mother hugged her daughter, turned around and ran away.

Other noble ladies also rushed over.

He quickly jumped off the horse and went to check on Lan Tingxue.

He wanted to rescue Lan Tingxue from under the horse, but after trying for a long time, it was in vain. Instead, Lan Tingxue cursed in pain.

Then he attacked Meng Chifei: "Meng Chifei, you dare to hurt Princess Ruixue, you are finished."

"That's right, didn't I just rob your meditation room in Dazhao Temple? You actually deliberately took revenge on the princess."

The noble ladies all accused Meng Chifei.

Meng Chifei has always been good at speaking.

Only at this moment, this matter was pinned on Meng Chifei, and these onlookers were all witnesses.

The story started with the princess getting injured while riding with them, and then turned into Meng Chifei's deliberate revenge.

Only after the incident was investigated could they and their families remove the items.

Anyway, the general who defends the country is more powerful than his master, so there will definitely be no substantial punishment, at most he will be reprimanded.

Meng Chifei is so favored, it won’t hurt him to take the blame for them.

The attention of the onlookers was also diverted.

They all began to believe that these two rich young ladies were competing with each other, causing harm to them, the common people.

"You guys are really good at confusing right and wrong. It was you who were riding your horses in the downtown area, nearly killing someone, and Meng Chifei bravely stepped in to save the mother and daughter; yet you're saying it was a personal grudge.

I know that you dare not bear the responsibility of letting your horses run wild in the busy streets;

Those who don't know would think that the great general who guards the country has failed to educate his daughter well, and Meng Chifei, relying on her father's military achievements, is acting recklessly and bullying men and women. "

The attention of the onlookers was instantly drawn back.

yes.

It was clearly them who were riding their horses in the downtown area and almost killed someone, so how can they put the blame on the people who bravely stepped forward to help others!

How outrageous!

Everyone started to blame the noble ladies.

The ladies blushed with shame and wanted to run away right away.

But Lan Tingxue is still under her control. If they dare to abandon Lan Tingxue and run away, they will never be able to stay in the circle of noble ladies in the future.

Wen Yan saw that the direction of public opinion was back on track.

She looked at Lan Tingxue lying on the ground again.

She laughed in her heart, as if someone had given her a pillow just when she was sleepy.

Since Lan Tingxue took the initiative to offer her the handle, if she didn't make good use of it, it would be unworthy of her arrogance.

She leaned over and whispered in Meng Chifei's ear.

Meng Chifei nodded repeatedly, already a little impatient: "I have wanted to deal with her for a long time, and today I finally got the chance."

Meng Chifei walked up to the fallen horse, grabbed its two legs and pulled it out.

The horse neighed in pain and moved away.

Lan Tingxue was freed, and the noble ladies hurried to help her.

Lan Tingxue was furious.

"Useless trash!" She raised her hand and slapped the person who was helping her, "Get out of here!"

She angrily pushed away the person who was supporting her, grabbed the horsewhip on the ground, took two steps to Meng Chifei, and whipped him.
