She and Nangong Jin had known each other for a long time, but she had never heard Nangong Jin say such harsh words to her. A hint of dissatisfaction clearly flashed across her face, but it was quickly replaced by a smile.
Song Zhijin quickly apologized to Xu Miaomiao and said, "I was inconsiderate, Madam Xu, please don't bother with me."
"Madam Song, what are you talking about?" Xu Miaomiao bowed slightly and said to the woman in front of him, "Since we are here, it must be no fun if we don't ride a horse. Come on, Madam Xu, I'll take you to change into riding clothes."
Song Zhijin was about to pull Xu Miaomiao away.
Xu Miaomiao quickly said, "My little sister still needs someone to take care of her, so I won't go. Just have fun, Madam Song."
"Your little sister?" Song Zhijin waved her hand immediately, and two servants came over: "Go and take good care of the Song family's wife."
After giving the order, Song Zhijin turned her gaze to Xu Miaomiao and said, "Now, Madam Xu, can you come with me?"
Seeing the woman invite him again and again, Xu Miaomiao followed her.
Song Zhijin took out a set of black riding clothes and handed it to Xu Miaomiao and said, "Madam Xu, you can change here!"
"Thank you, Madam Song."
"Why are you still saying thank you to me?" Song Zhijin waved her hand and continued, "Did you meet anyone today? Most of the ladies here are ladies of status. If they say something unpleasant, I'll apologize to you on their behalf."
Xu Miaomiao sneered in her heart. She finally understood why Song Zhijin asked her to come to this horse racing meeting. It was simply because she wanted him to see clearly the gap between herself and the young ladies in the capital so that she would give up.
But she never expected that Xu Miaomiao didn't care about it. She smiled back and said, "Madam Song, you're too polite. I'm not angry with them. The ladies, fathers and brothers here are all well-known figures in the capital, and Miaomiao could only rely on herself to get out of the small place of Bai County step by step. Naturally, she can't be compared with the people here."
Xu Miaomiao said this because she wanted to let the people in front of her know that she was different from those ladies who relied on their family background to do whatever they wanted.
As expected, when Song Zhijin heard this, she was stunned. After all, it was because of her father's reputation that she was able to gain a foothold in this capital.
As soon as Xu Miaomiao changed her clothes, Jiahe ran in immediately, looked Xu Miaomiao up and down, and said, "You are indeed quite pretty, otherwise Nangong Jin wouldn't be so obsessed with you."
"Princess Jiahe, this is serious. Mr. Nangong is just helping Miaomiao out of my gratitude for saving him."
Jiahe snorted in dissatisfaction, then moved closer to Xu Miaomiao and said, "Xu Miaomiao, stop pretending here. I know best what you are thinking, but if you dare to hurt Zhijin, I will definitely not let you go."
Xu Miaomiao had already suffered too much today, and could no longer bear it. She laughed and said in a low voice: "Princess Jiahe, let's wait and see."
Song Zhijin, who was standing by, could clearly smell the tension between the two of them, but she pretended not to understand and pulled Xu Miaomiao and Song Zhijin out.
"Madam Xu, you can ride this horse."
Song Zhijin patted a white horse and spoke.
Xu Miaomiao nodded slightly in response.
The three of them quickly picked their horses and rode on. As the servant beside them waved the flag, the horse race officially began.
Song Zhijin rode at the front, her long black hair floating in the air in the breeze. Her heroic appearance made many people in the field linger.
Xu Miaomiao didn't want to compete with the two of them, so she slowed down her horse's pace. However, Jiahe on the side seemed to be waiting for Xu Miaomiao intentionally, so he also slowed down his horse's pace.
Just as he was about to cross the first grass pile, Jiahe deliberately bumped into Xu Miaomiao.
Although Xu Miaomiao could ride a horse, his riding skills were not as skilled as theirs. The horse lifted high up in the air, and Xu Miaomiao failed to hold on firmly and fell heavily from its back.
When Song Wushao, who was outside the field, saw this scene, his pupils dilated instantly. He grasped his sleeves tightly with his fingertips, clenched his fists, and looked at Jiahe as if he was looking at a dead person.
Xu Miaomiao frowned at the pain in her back after falling to the ground, and she slowly stood up.
After this incident, the game naturally could not continue.
Seeing this, Song Zhijin, who was standing by, immediately called out to Xiao Si to help Xu Miaomiao down.
The ladies watching on the stage also laughed at Xu Miaomiao. Xu Xiang laughed when she saw this and said, "He is indeed a vulgar person who can't even ride a horse."
Jiang Wenyu, who was standing aside, had no intention of continuing to mock Xu Miaomiao. He kept thinking about the scene in which he beat Nangong Jin.
Xu Miaomiao was quickly helped into the tent. Fortunately, she was not hurt anywhere. She just fell and suffered some flesh pain.
When Nangong Jin heard that Xu Miaomiao fell off the horse, he immediately rushed down.
Looking at her distressed, he said, "I was just away for a while, how did you hurt yourself like this?"
Jia He, who was standing by, heard these ambiguous words and naturally felt unhappy. He pulled Nan Gongjin and said, "Nangong Jinyan, you are my husband now. You care about other women in front of me. Do you still take me, the princess, seriously?"
Nangong Jin stood up, straightened his clothes, and said, "A princess is a princess. I will certainly respect you very much, but if..."
Before he could finish his words, seeing that something was not right, Song Zhijin stepped forward and stopped Nangong Jin from saying anything. She immediately said, "I don't think Jiahe did it on purpose. You can blame those beasts! Madam Xu, if you are really angry, I will have them skin the beasts and send them to your house."
"No need." Xu Miaomiao responded, "It's my fault that I didn't hold the reins tightly. It's not the ladies' fault."
"That's right." Jia He at the side responded, "It's obviously her own problem, how can it have anything to do with us?"
Xu Miaomiao's eyes darkened, and she took a step closer to Princess Jiahe and said, "Of course it has nothing to do with the princess, but Miaomiao is afraid that she can no longer accompany the two ladies to race horses, so she will go sit aside first."
Xu Miaomiao returned to her seat. After what happened just now, there was no lack of sarcasm and ridicule from all around, but Xu Miaomiao did not take it seriously. She just stared straight ahead with a smile on her lips.
Song Weiwei, who was standing by, was also a little puzzled. She looked at Xu Miaomiao and asked, "That guy has already bullied you, why don't you fight back?"
