Chapter 333 Brother and Sister Reunion
Yuan Hongqu imagined the scene at that time, and her face turned pale instantly.
"Does winning or losing really matter that much? Did I ever teach you about striving to be number one?"
Daiyu wanted to explain, but seeing the lingering fear on Yuan Mama's face, she knew that she had probably really worried the nanny this time.
"Granny, I won't do it again next time," she said softly, without offering any further explanation.
"I thought you weren't afraid, but it turns out you have people you're afraid of too?" Lan Su couldn't help but mock Daiyu when she saw her sullen expression.
She was genuinely startled at the horse race just now. Lan Su hadn't expected Daiyu's horsemanship to have reached such a level; otherwise, she wouldn't have displayed her lightness skill in front of everyone.
Lan Su's martial arts skills had always been a matter of speculation, but few people had actually witnessed how high they were. Now everyone knew that the little maid beside Princess Lin was a martial arts master beyond what ordinary people could imagine.
Although Lan Su's exposure of her strength may have reduced a lot of trouble for Daiyu in the future, there is also the possibility that some martial arts practitioners will not know their own strength and challenge Lan Su, causing her a lot of trouble.
However, because of Lan Su's trick, the current study tour activities have made some people who wanted to target the study tour groups in the dark more cautious and dare not make any rash moves.
For example, the sixth daughter of the Second Prince is Wuzhu, a grassland girl whom Liu Zhentao was willing to abandon his life as a noble young master to follow him to herd horses and sheep.
She was having a hard time at that moment.
She is a grassland girl with thick eyebrows and big eyes. She has an outgoing personality and seems very carefree and without any guile.
But in reality, only those who know her very well will know how cunning this woman is.
The same men who had just extorted money from Daiyu were kneeling in front of her.
Wuzhu's reason for sending someone to swindle Daiyu was quite simple—she had her eye on Daiyu's horse.
She also knew that these women from the capital were all wealthy and powerful, and not to be trifled with.
But yesterday she took a liking to Daiyu's horse at first sight.
Having grown up on horseback, she had never seen such a magnificent horse.
Speaking of which, Uzhu really has a good eye.
To make the horse more intelligent and to better suit Daiyu's taste, Yuan Hongqu specially took it into her space and raised it for a period of time before giving it to Daiyu as a birthday gift.
I never expected that once I arrived on the grassland, someone would covet my property.
Wu Zhu herself knew that no one would part with such a fine horse, especially since she had heard that the young lady riding the horse was a princess, whose noble status made it even more impossible for her to give up her beloved possession.
If I were to befriend that princess now and try to win her over through subtle means, it probably wouldn't be very effective in a short time.
This study tour group only spent eight days on the grassland, with different activities scheduled every day. It would be difficult for Wuzhu to establish a deep friendship with Daiyu in such a short time.
So she came up with a crooked idea.
Most of these noble ladies were naive and ignorant. Take Liu Zhentao, for example, the young master of the Liguo Duke's family. He was still manipulated by her.
Uju devised a plan, which would be most convenient to use during horse races.
Since Princess Lin is participating in the horse race, with that horse's superb quality, it will surely be far ahead, leaving everyone else behind.
They set a trap ahead to lure Princess Lin into it. Once she was hooked, they claimed that her horse had trampled the child, and according to their grassland customs, the horse had to be used to compensate for the child's injury...
Before they could even speak, Princess Lin acted unpredictably and lashed out with her whip.
Of the four people who went there, three were disfigured, and the other had his leg broken when the woman who came from behind stepped on him.
After hearing the scene described by the others, Wuzhu suddenly felt a little flustered, as if something was about to get out of her control.
Before the matter concerning these four people was resolved, her maid came over and whispered something to her.
Upon hearing this, Wuzhu slumped onto the couch, her face turning even more pale.
The maid told her that someone had seen Liu Zhentao; he had appeared in the study tour group, and that there were people from the Liu family among them.
Wu Zhu was terribly panicked. Anyone who wasn't an idiot could see through what Liu Zhentao was doing.
If the Liu family were to stand up for Liu Zhentao, even though this is the grassland, her stronghold, she probably wouldn't get anything good out of it...
The scene of the brother and sister reuniting inside the Liu family's tent was not so heartwarming.
"Dean, I know it was a bit much of a stretch to ask you to help me find my brother this morning. But you can't just bring anyone here and say he's my brother." Liu Qianrou looked Liu Zhentao up and down for a while, but couldn't see any resemblance to her brother in him.
“My brother, though not exactly dashing, was still quite handsome back in the day. What resemblance does this down-on-his-luck uncle have to my brother?”
Liu Qianrou looked him over again, scrutinizing him from all angles, but still couldn't see any resemblance between this slovenly man and her brother.
"Mr. Yuan, since that's the case, let's just forget about it. I'm going back."
Liu Zhentao couldn't stand his sister's gaze, so he stood up and walked towards the door. He thought that since his sister hadn't recognized him at all, no one else would recognize him either. He decided not to go back to the capital and embarrass himself.
Seeing that he was walking unsteadily and his legs were still a bit inconvenient, Liu Qianrou frowned. Just as she was about to say a few more sarcastic words, she suddenly noticed a red mole on the back of his neck.
"Stop right there!" Liu Qianrou exclaimed, her heart skipping a beat.
The mole on the back of this person's neck is actually not a mole.
That happened when Liu Qianrou was a mischievous child, playing with a whip, and accidentally struck Liu Zhentao on the back of the neck.
Although it was just a superficial injury at the time, it left a scar after it healed, and it gradually grew into something that looked like a red mole.
Liu Qianrou didn't recognize Liu Zhentao's face, but she did recognize his scar.
"Second Brother?" she called out tentatively.
Liu Zhentao paused for a moment, but did not turn around, and continued walking out.
"Liu Zhentao, your grandparents say they regret it; they shouldn't have kicked you out of the house like that!"
Liu Qianrou thought that Liu Zhentao was still angry with his family, which was why he hadn't gone back.
Liu Zhentao paused for a moment, a sudden surge of indescribable grievance welling up inside him.
“Brother, Mother misses you too. Mother never chants Buddhist scriptures or prays. Ever since you left, Mother has been fasting on the first and fifteenth of the lunar month and going to the temple to pray to the Bodhisattva to bless you…” Liu Qianrou recounted the changes in her family after Liu Zhentao left.
Upon hearing this, Liu Zhentao was finally moved and turned around.
"Little sister, you've become much more sensible, much better than me."
Liu Qianrou finally couldn't hold back and burst into tears. After she finished crying, she felt sorry for Liu Zhentao.
"Brother, why did you grow a beard? I really didn't recognize you. What happened to your legs?"
