Li Nian sat on horseback, looking down at Wen Luoxin condescendingly, and asked calmly, "What evidence do you have? What motive do I have to harm you?"
Wen Luoxin raised her head, met her calm eyes, and said calmly: "Because last time Madam Xiao invited me to dine at her house, your old lady compared me to you and took the opportunity to belittle you, so you are angry with me."
She spoke calmly and methodically, "And just now in the stables, I saw you walk over to this horse and pause for a moment, and then for some reason you didn't choose it but chose another one."
Li Nian chuckled when he heard this: "It's really hard for you to come up with so many excuses."
Her calm tone was faintly interrogative. "The first thing you said was that you stayed at the Xiao Mansion for dinner that day. Why did you go there? And who were you looking for?"
"What does it have to do with you? This is my business!" Wen Luoxin raised her chin and did not directly answer Li Nian's question. Instead, she asked in a sharp tone: "I just want to ask you, did I say anything nonsense just now? What happened that day is indeed like that. Is that why you hold a grudge against me?"
Li Nian didn't reply, only speaking to herself, "Let me tell you this. The Wen family elders despise Qi He's disability and can't bear to see Wen Luoqing, who grew up with them, marry a disabled man. So they want you to marry in his place. You came to Xiao Yunchen and asked him to help you resolve this matter."
She blinked in confusion and asked, "But you can obviously cure Qi He, or wouldn't it be better for you to ask Qi He for help instead of asking Xiao Yunchen?"
At this point, she answered herself with a firm tone: "But you still came to find Xiao Yunchen, why? Because you want to seduce him."
Wen Luoxin was shocked. How could she know why I went to see Xiao Yunchen? Moreover, she knew too much!
Could it be that she was also reborn? No wonder she was so different in this life!
After a moment of doubt and surprise, Wen Luoxin quickly regained her composure. Her angry eyes suddenly turned red, and she argued aggrievedly: "You're talking nonsense! Lord Xiao and I are innocent!"
Li Nian sneered, "Really? Then, using the excuse of seeing Old Madam Xiao as a doctor, you're exchanging letters with Xiao Yunchen. So, that's also legitimate?"
She spoke faster, not giving Wen Luoxin a chance to refute, and asked bluntly, "I heard that you helped many wealthy families in the capital to cure their old illnesses. Do you also have correspondence with the young masters of those mansions?"
Wen Luoxin's pretty face turned pale with grievance, and her voice trembled unconsciously with suppressed repression: "Why did the eldest lady insult me like this? When I first came to the capital, it was Master Xiao who taught me many rules. I was grateful, and because of Madam Xiao's illness, we kept in touch through letters!"
Li Nian looked at her expression calmly and continued to ask, "Oh, then have you ever corresponded with other young masters?"
Wen Luoqing stamped her feet in anger, tears falling from her trembling eyelashes, and she cried out in grievance, "I didn't!"
Li Nian concluded: "So Xiao Yunchen is still a special person to you!"
She waved her hand: "Okay, now for the second point. You said I stopped in front of your horse, but I didn't just stop. I touched its fur, but I didn't like it because it didn't feel good."
Hearing this, Wen Luoxin hurriedly said, "Are you admitting that you attacked my horse? You said you didn't like it, but who knows why!"
"Don't be impatient!" Li Nian said softly, "I was the one who chose the horse first. You chose it because I didn't want it. I didn't know which horse you would choose, so how could I have changed my mind?"
"How could I have known you would predict it so accurately?" Wen Luoxin was annoyed and angry. When did Yun Qiuwu, that idiot, become so logical and clear? In her previous life, she was clearly as dumb as a pig!
"It's easy to find a pretext to accuse someone of something. You're just trying to accuse me of framing you, but I'm really curious." Li Nian sat on the horse, bent down slightly, and asked, "What's your motive for framing me like this?"
Wen Luoxin gnashed her teeth, "It was you who wanted to hurt me!" How could Yun Qiuwu be so sharp-tongued? She was simply turning the tables!
Seeing the two arguing fiercely, General Qi hurried forward to smooth things over: "Maybe Miss Wen's horse got frightened by something. We are all friends, there is no need to ruin the relationship over a misunderstanding!"
Li Nian wore a faint smile and replied softly, "Yes, Master Qi is right. As long as Second Miss Wen doesn't misjudge me by judging others by her own standards, I won't mind."
General Qi quickly said, "No, Miss Wen is kind-hearted and not that kind of person."
Xiao Yunyu looked at Li Nian and Qi Hengyan talking and laughing, frowning, and a hint of displeasure flashed in his cold eyes.
His tone also turned cold: "Miss Wen, are you here to learn horse riding from Qi Heng?"
Wen Luoxin looked at him in surprise and bit her lip. She didn't understand why Xiao Yunyu suddenly asked this question.
Is it because she asked Qi Heng to teach her horse riding that he was jealous? Thinking of Xiao Yunyu's strong possessiveness, he hurriedly explained.
"It was General Qi who told me that you, Prince Xiao, would come to the stables today so that I could treat your illness. He asked if I wanted to come along. I didn't take the initiative to come here to learn horse riding from General Qi."
Xiao Yunyu said coldly, "But from what I saw just now, you didn't look like a beginner. If you can ride a horse, why lie and say you can't? I'm not that silly girl Xiao Yunchen. I hate women who do whatever it takes to achieve their goals!"
His tone was lazy, but the look in his eyes when he looked at Wen Luoxin was a ruthless and cold warning: "I don't mind watching the drama of the second house, but if you want to move the drama to my courtyard, don't blame me for being rude."
The disgust in Xiao Yunyu's tone and attitude was so clearly revealed that it was hard to ignore.
Li Nian was filled with confusion. Why was the story so different from the original? Did the hero actually hate the heroine? Could it be that she and Sisi had traveled through a fanfiction?
It's impossible that she and Sisi, two little fish, would stir up such a large pool of clear water into such a mess, right?
Li Nian was helped off the horse by Xiao Yunyu, and followed Xiao Yunyu out of the horse farm without saying a word.
On the way back, Li Nian sat in a carriage, while Xiao Yunyu rode a horse slowly following beside the carriage.
Li Nian pondered Xiao Yunyu's attitude at the horse farm just now. She lifted the curtain to look at the man on horseback and asked, "What do you think of Second Miss Wen?"
"A scheming woman who only wants to cling to power," Xiao Yunyu's answer was sharp and to the point.
Thinking of how his wife was like this before she got married, his lazy brows perked up a little, and he added a warning: "You've already climbed up, so don't even think about it, otherwise I will kill you and that man together."
The last two words were spoken with particular emphasis, as if he was going to leave right away.
Li Nian smiled sweetly and replied, "Well, I am content as long as I have a husband." After saying that, she put down her hand that was lifting the curtain.
Xiao Yunyu looked at the tightly closed carriage curtains, his eyes, which had been full of smiles, suddenly dimmed. Was he too fierce just now? Why did he feel that his wife was suddenly unhappy?
Tsk, it’s all because of this bad habit, otherwise he could get into the carriage right now and hug his wife, kiss her and coax her!
