Su Ruojin hurriedly bid farewell to Consort Jiang and rushed back to the General's Mansion.
Su Ruojin rushed to Su Muyao's room, but before she arrived, Su Yiting pulled her away.
"Little sister, go check on Deng Yi first. His injuries are more serious than Mu Yao's."
Su Ruojin was completely confused. Wasn't Mu Yao supposed to be injured? How did it become Deng Yi?
"Fifth Brother, what happened? What exactly happened?"
Su Yiting quickly said, "We went horseback riding together today. During the ride, Mu Yao's horse suddenly got spooked. Deng Yi rushed over to protect Mu Yao without hesitation. Mu Yao only twisted her ankle, but Deng Yi was kicked by the horse and vomited blood. He is still unconscious, so I brought him back first."
After Su Yiting finished speaking, he also arrived at the door of the room.
When Su Ruojin entered the room, she saw a man lying on the bed, who appeared to be unconscious.
She stepped forward and took his pulse; thankfully, he was alright.
"Fifth Brother, take off his shirt and expose his back."
"Okay, sure." Su Yiting hurriedly instructed the servants to take off Deng Yi's shirt and turn him over.
"Yanluo, you shall administer the acupuncture."
"Yes, Miss."
Yan Luo stepped forward to take Deng Yi's pulse and knew what to do.
After Yan Luo finished administering the acupuncture, Deng Yi moved, then coughed up a mouthful of blood and woke up.
"It's nothing serious. It was probably a horse's hoof that kicked his abdomen, causing a bruise. He'll be fine once he coughs up the blood. The rest is just a superficial injury; some medicine will do the trick, and he'll be fine after a few days of rest," Su Ruojin explained to Su Yiting.
Su Yiting breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, "That's good, that's good."
If Deng Yi were to be seriously injured while saving Mu Yao, he would find it difficult to repay this debt of gratitude.
"Thank you, Princess." Deng Yi said as she regained consciousness.
“Young Master Deng, you saved Mu Yao, we should be thanking you. You should rest first, I’ll go check on Mu Yao.”
Su Ruojin arrived at Mu Yao's room. Madam Su was with Mu Yao, and when she saw Su Ruojin, she asked her to take a look at Mu Yao.
Su Ruojin took Mu Yao's pulse and examined her foot injury. Just as Fifth Brother had said, she had twisted her ankle, and it was swollen.
"It's alright, I'll have Yanluo bring some medicinal wine over later, and you'll be able to walk around tomorrow."
That was a special medicinal wine she concocted to treat sprains and bruises; as long as the leg wasn't broken, the swelling would subside in a day.
Unfortunately, the medicinal herbs used in this medicinal wine are too rare and expensive to be widely used.
"Thank you, sister," Su Muyao said.
"No need for formalities, we're all family. What exactly happened today? And who is this Young Master Deng?"
Although Fifth Brother gave a general explanation, Su Ruojin still didn't understand the situation. How could Mu Yao, who couldn't ride a horse, go and ride one?
Xing Yue, with tears in her eyes, said, "I'm sorry, Xiao Jin, it's my fault. I insisted on dragging Mu Yao to go horseback riding with me, which caused her to get hurt."
That day, Xing Yue and Deng Yi made an appointment to ride horses together, and Su Yiting and Mu Yao were invited to join them.
At first, Mu Yao was afraid to ride, but Xing Yue told her not to be afraid, that she would teach Mu Yao to ride and would definitely protect her.
Encouraged by Xing Yue, Mu Yao tried riding a horse. Xing Yue led the horse for her, and they walked slowly, which was quite nice.
Once Mu Yao had gotten used to it, Xing Yue loosened the reins and let Mu Yao try riding it herself.
The horse Mu Yao rode was a specially chosen mare with a gentle temperament and a slow pace, so Mu Yao gradually became less afraid.
Seeing that Mu Yao was riding well, Xing Yue mounted her horse and invited Su Yiting and Deng Yi to race together, leaving Mu Yao to stay behind as the referee.
Unexpectedly, just as the three of them were riding back to the finish line, Mu Yao's horse suddenly went berserk.
