Seeing that Mu Yao was about to fall off the horse, Deng Yi leaped forward and caught her, getting kicked by the horse in the process.
Fortunately, Deng Yi risked his life to protect her, otherwise Mu Yao would have been seriously injured.
"Sister Yue, it's not your fault. It was my own carelessness. Nobody wants accidents to happen. Besides, look, I'm fine now," Su Muyao quickly said.
Madam Su noticed Xing Yue's guilt and comforted her, "A Yue, don't take it to heart, it's not your fault."
Xing Yue wiped away her tears. Luckily, nothing happened this time. If something had really happened to Mu Yao because of her, she wouldn't know how to face the Su family.
“Xiao Jin, this young master Deng risked his life to save us in our time of crisis, and even got injured in the process. We should thank him properly,” said Madam Su.
Su Ruojin nodded, "Of course, his injury isn't too serious, he'll be fine in a few days."
"That's good, that's good." Madam Su was still a little scared.
Su Muyao noticed her mother's worry and said apologetically, "Mother, I'm sorry, Muyao has made you worry. Muyao won't go out anymore."
"Silly child, what are you saying? It's good that you're alright. Get some rest. Your older sister said you can get out of bed tomorrow. Don't think too much. Young people should go out and explore more."
Madam Su didn't subscribe to the idea that young ladies should stay indoors all the time. As long as she could ensure her safety, she was willing to go out and explore.
After Su Muyao rested, Xing Yue went to visit Deng Yi again.
Su Ruojin and Madam Su walked out of Mu Yao's courtyard together.
“Xiao Jin, I think Mu Yao seems to have a thing for Young Master Deng. He risked his life to save you this time, so his character must be good. I asked your fourth brother, and he said that Young Master Deng has a good reputation at Dali Temple. If Mu Yao is interested, we can arrange this marriage.” Madam Su said.
"Mother, Mu Yao and Young Master Deng have only met a few times, so there's no rush. Let them get to know each other better."
Madam Su nodded. "You're right. Let's take another look. It mainly depends on Mu Yao's opinion."
After using Su Ruojin's medicine, Su Muyao's foot didn't hurt as much as before, but she couldn't fall asleep. Her mind was filled with the image of Deng Yi rushing to save her when the horse was startled.
This is the second time Deng Yi has saved her.
As she thought about it, Su Muyao's face gradually turned red.
Deng Yi seems pretty good...
The next day, the swelling in Su Muyao's foot had subsided, and she was able to walk slowly, though she still had a slight limp.
She wanted to visit Deng Yi, but learned that he had already left the general's mansion early in the morning.
Yesterday's events were sudden, and Deng Yi stayed at the General's Mansion. After resting overnight and recovering somewhat, he felt it was inappropriate to stay any longer and took his leave early this morning.
Su Muyao felt inexplicably empty inside.
When Su Ruojin came to see her, she found Mu Yao sitting there in a daze, not even reacting when she came in.
"Mu Yao, Mu Yao." Su Ruojin called softly twice before Su Mu Yao came back to her senses and quickly composed herself, saying, "Sister, why are you here?"
"What are you thinking about so intently? You're not thinking about Young Master Deng, are you?" Su Ruojin teased.
Upon hearing this, Su Muyao blushed and quickly waved her hands, "No, no."
She was too embarrassed to admit that she had indeed been reminiscing about her time with Deng Yi.
Su Ruojin could easily tell that the little girl was shy.
She smiled and said, "Mu Yao, it's not easy to meet someone you like in this life. If you do, you should cherish them."
Su Muyao was stunned for a moment, then her eyes were a little confused: "Sister, I don't really know if this counts as liking someone."
"Oh, tell me about it, and I'll analyze it for you," Su Ruojin said with a smile.
After thinking for a moment, Su Muyao blushed and told Su Ruojin how she met Deng Yi and everything that happened between them.
"Sister, do you think this counts as liking someone?"
After listening to what Su Muyao said, Su Ruojin's eyes flickered, and she smiled and said, "Our Muyao has grown up, but there's no rush when it comes to matters of the heart. Let's take it slow. I'll also observe what kind of person Deng Yi is."
