Chapter 121 You Are Really My Good Brother

Yu Qinghuan held the rabbit in her arms, her eyes shining. She couldn't help swallowing her saliva when she thought of the delicious food.

Chen Niao looked at the rabbit in her arms and was a little surprised. "This rabbit looks pretty good."

As she spoke, she looked at Mu Huaian with a happy look in her eyes: Are the rabbits in Jiuchong Mountain so good?

Xie Zhiwen's smile was forced. He had set a trap to catch rabbits early in the morning. Afraid that his vision was not good enough, he specially asked Mu Huaian to help. He caught six or seven rabbits before choosing this one. How could it not look good?

But he never expected that Yu Qinghuan would eat the rabbit he had spent so much effort to catch.

If I had known this would happen, I wouldn’t have bothered with it and could have just caught two.

After hearing what Chen Niao said, Yu Qinghuan took the rabbit and looked at it carefully for a few seconds. It was indeed very beautiful. She hesitated for a moment and looked at Xie Zhiwen, "Wouldn't it be a pity to eat it like this?"

Xie Zhiwen laughed dryly. "It's okay. This rabbit is easy to catch. Eat it if you want. If it's not enough, I'll catch two more."

Anyway, it's all to please Yu Qinghuan, so whatever he eats counts.

Yu Qinghuan was happy and gave the rabbit to Sang Ru, asking her to take good care of it and roast it for dinner tonight.

Looking at the horse beside him, Xie Zhiwen was still a little unwilling and asked, "Ah Huan, can you ride a horse now?"

Yu Qinghuan nodded happily, "Yes, thanks to Niao Niao."

I originally thought riding a horse was difficult.

Chen Niao smiled, "You are smart and you can learn it in no time. Think about when I first learned to ride a horse, it took me several days before I dared to get on the horse by myself."

She didn't know how other people learned to ride horses, but Yu Qinghuan was the smartest and bravest woman she had ever met.

Xie Zhiwen suddenly felt disappointed. If he had known this earlier, he would not have gotten up so early to catch rabbits. He would have just hugged the sweet and soft Yu Qinghuan and slept a little longer.

Yu Qinghuan was praised and subconsciously looked at Mu Huaian. When she received the other party's approval, her face suddenly became hot.

"It's not as exaggerated as you say."

Mu Huaian looked at Yu Qinghuan in front of him with a smile in his eyes, as if he had returned to the time when he was in Zhuangzi. This made him recall the days when he was alone in Zhuangzi.

Their eyes met, as if glued together, neither of them able to look away.

Sang Ru's heart almost jumped out of her chest when she saw this scene. She coughed twice hurriedly to remind the two people that the Marquis was still beside them!

Can you flirt with each other like this without caring about others?

Hearing Sang Ru's light cough, Yu Qinghuan reluctantly withdrew his gaze. Although he could see Mu Huaian by coming to Jiuchong Mountain, he had not even had a chance to talk to him from yesterday until now.

At this moment, Chen Niao suggested, "Why don't we go to the hunting grounds? I heard the prize this year is a dagger inlaid with gems, and we don't know who will get it. We can go place a bet today, and maybe we can win some game."

Upon hearing this, Xie Zhiwen and Mu Huaian both looked at Yu Qinghuan. The winter hunting had lasted for less than half a month, and today was just the beginning. The real prey had not yet been put into the enclosure, so there would be no prizes today.

In the first few days, the day's prey was used as a bet for civil and military officials and their accompanying families to place bets, and the prey could be roasted and eaten at night.

Yu Qinghuan was really interested. Her father was a low-ranking official, so the Yu family was never on the list of those accompanying the hunt. As a result, she had never been to Jiuchong Mountain and had never seen how these people caught prey.

"Okay, but I don't have much money..."

Mu Huaian subconsciously responded with a smile, looking at Yu Qinghuan with a look of tenderness and doting, "I have."

As soon as he said this, several pairs of eyes turned to look at him. Only then did he realize that his words were inappropriate.

Chen Niao was worried for him. He knew that being attentive was a good thing, but he shouldn't do it in front of Xie Zhiwen!

Yu Qinghuan felt sweet and flustered at the same time, with the two emotions mixed together. If there wasn't someone around at this moment, she would have wanted to throw herself into Mu Huaian's arms, hug him and kiss him a few times.

Xie Zhiwen didn't think much about it, put his arm around Mu Huaian's shoulders, and grinned, "Huaian, you really are my good brother, but Ah Huan can use my money, and you can keep yours for yourself."

Mu Huaian pursed his lips and smiled, "Yeah."

Sang Ruxu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. It was another day without any danger.

...

That afternoon, the four men rode their horses to the hunting ground. Almost all the civil and military officials as well as many female relatives were there. Many of them had already set out into the woods at noon, so from time to time someone would come back with prey.

The people who stayed in the hunting ground were very lively as they listened to the eunuchs who were in charge of statistics reporting who had hunted what.

When Yu Qinghuan arrived, he saw Xie Zhili mounting his horse with a bow and arrow on his back, preparing to enter the woods.

Xie Zhiwen spoke first. After all, he was his younger brother, so he had to give him some advice. "The situation in the forest is complicated, so be careful."

The annual prize has always been won by military generals, and many people have been injured while fighting with wild beasts. Therefore, the civil officials who do not have the skills of the military generals have always been far away, relying on their superb riding and archery skills to hunt rabbits, foxes and the like. It is rare to hunt a wild boar.

Yu Qinghuan couldn't help but remind him, "Be careful."

Xie Zhili rode on a tall horse, his red outfit making his features stand out. He looked fierce and determined, "Don't worry, when I win this year's prize, I'll give it to you for self-defense!"

Almost everyone thought he was talking to Xie Zhiwen, and wondered when the two brothers became so close.

Only Mu Huaian knew that Xie Zhili was talking to Yu Qinghuan.

Yu Qinghuan knew what was going on, and seeing him smiling at her regardless of the people around him, she quickly looked away. This little lunatic was really brave, not afraid of being discovered even with so many people around.

Xie Zhiwen actually thought his brother was talking to him, and was touched. "Brother, as long as you are safe and sound, that's all that matters!"

The prize is not important. They have everything in the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion and are not short of such a prize.

Seeing that Xie Zhiwen was completely kept in the dark and was also worried about Xie Zhili, Yu Qinghuan felt sorry for him and wanted to hold his forehead. Fortunately, there were not many descendants in the Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion, otherwise none of them would survive the competition for the crown prince.

With this kind of personality, if I get sold in the future, I'm afraid I'll have to count the money for others.

Just as they were escorting Xie Zhili into the forest, another figure also climbed onto the horse. Mu Huaian bowed slightly to the figure on the horse, "Teacher."

Cheng Gongjin's gaze lingered on his nephew for a long time before he said calmly, "Since you're here, let's go in together."

Mu Huaian was startled and was about to refuse, "I can't..."

Cheng Gongjin added, "No one likes a coward."

When he said this, his eyes were penetrating and piercing straight into people's hearts.

Mu Huaian subconsciously looked at Yu Qinghuan, only to see that Xie Zhili had already walked away, but Yu Qinghuan was still staring at him, with an expression of worry and expectation on his face.

The sweetheart is nervous and expectant about another man.

His hand holding the reins tightened slightly, and a competitive spirit arose spontaneously. He immediately took his bow and arrow and jumped on his horse. "Since you're here, I'll go take a look."

As he said this, he glanced at Yu Qinghuan and rode his horse towards the woods.

Seeing this, Xie Zhiwen also went to join in the fun!

Seeing that everyone had left, Yu Qinghuan was stunned and surprised, "He can ride and shoot?"
