Chapter 520 Unexpected Fall from Grace
Kong Wange refused to fight, and Qin Yiyi's plan, which she had devised in the pavilion, came to nothing. She was both angry and furious.
At this moment, Wen Luoyun spoke up leisurely: "Cousin, don't embarrass the Wen family. Since Yiyi wants to compete with you, let her see your superb horseback riding skills. If all else fails, you can even add a prize."
When the topic of prizes came up, Kong Wange became quite interested: "If we're talking about prizes, that's not a bad idea. Tell me, how do we plan to compete?"
"Let's race! Whoever is faster, running around the racecourse once and then back, wins!"
Kong Wange nodded: "Okay, the loser can post on Weibo and tag the other person with the caption 'Grandma, I give up, I was wrong!'"
This is a huge loss of face in front of the entire internet. When Qin Yiyi heard about this prize, she thought it was pretty ruthless!
But she was prepared and confident that she wouldn't lose, so she happily replied, "No problem!"
The horses around them were all tired from running, so they went together to the stables to find suitable racehorses.
On the way, Murong Ting looked at Kong Wange and said, "I'll help you choose a horse later."
Kong Wange raised an eyebrow: "Sure, with you choosing for me, I'm guaranteed to win."
Murong Ting wore a pleased expression: "Of course."
When they arrived at the stable, Qin Yiyi pretended to be modest and said, "Kong Wange, to be honest, I started learning to ride horses when I was five years old. I'll let you choose the horses here first, so that no one will say I'm bullying you."
“Okay.” Kong Wange didn’t stand on ceremony with her and glanced at Murong Ting.
Murong Ting glanced at the horses in the stable and immediately selected a group of long-legged, strong, chestnut-red spirits for her.
Qin Yiyi, on the other hand, chose a group of relatively unremarkable dark horses.
After the staff at the horse farm helped the two of them pull the horses out, Kong Wange mounted the horse.
Her movements were swift and skillful, clearly those of a seasoned horse rider, which put Murong Ting at ease.
Seeing this, the three little ones clapped and cheered her on.
Murong Chen: "Mommy is the most handsome, everyone loves her!"
Kong Chi: "Mommy is the coolest, she beats the rivals!"
Kong Ran: "Mommy is the best, I'm worried!"
Pudding, standing nearby, barked and bounced around the horse happily.
Qin Yiyi, standing to the side, glanced at the family with disdain.
Before she and Wen Luoyun came here, she had secretly gone to the stables and tampered with several of the best horses.
Epimedium has a strong medicinal effect. When the horse is still, it doesn't have much of a reaction, but once it starts running, the blood circulation in its body will cause it to slowly go wild out of control.
She had just generously let Kong Wange choose first, ostensibly out of humility, but in reality, it was a calculated move.
She didn't believe Kong Wange would choose a group of mediocre or inferior horses to compete against her, and sure enough, she fell for her trap.
She looked at Kong Wange on horseback and said, "Now that you're on horseback, you should start riding."
Kong Wange asked suspiciously, "Aren't you coming along?"
"If we ride together, you'll only lose worse. I'll let you ride alone, so you'll feel less pressure," Qin Yiyi said seriously.
What a joke! What if Kong Wange's horse goes berserk and kicks me while I'm running with her? Qin Yiyi thought to herself.
"Okay, I'm off then."
With a command, the equestrian pressed the stopwatch, and Kong Wange shouted "Giddy up!" as the chestnut horse galloped off.
The horse ranch is so large that if you stand still and watch Kong Wange run off, you'll eventually only be able to see her outline.
At first, everything went smoothly. Kong Wange was wearing riding clothes, her hair flying wildly in the wind, exuding an indescribable heroic spirit.
But when she reached the finish line and turned back, the people on the field gradually noticed something was wrong. Kong Wange's horse seemed to have become agitated, and the route had deviated from its original path.
The three children looked around and felt something was wrong. Kong Chi frowned first and said, "Mommy's horse is in trouble."
Kong Ran quickly added, "Yeah, it seems really hard to control. Even Mommy can barely hold on to it with the rope!"
Murong Chen quickly grabbed Murong Ting's hand: "Daddy, think of something! Mommy looks like she's about to fall!"
What the children saw, Murong Ting also saw.
He left with the words "Wait for me here," then immediately mounted his horse and galloped straight toward Kong Wange!
Seeing this, Qin Yiyi sneered inwardly, "The horse is already so agitated, even if Murong Ting rides it the fastest, he might not be able to save it."
From horseback, Kong Wange shouted, "Marshal!"
She tried to calm it down by calling its name, but to little avail.
The chestnut horse raised its neck and thrashed wildly from side to side, almost throwing her off several times!
She struggled to keep going, pulling hard on the rope, when just then, the sound of approaching hooves came from the diagonal front: "Wanwan! Don't be afraid, I'm here!"
At the same time, Murong Ting reached out his hand to her.
Kong Wange tried hard to reach the man's hand.
But the horse beneath her suddenly raised its hooves, reared up, and she lost her balance, about to fall!
In the nick of time, she suddenly felt a dark shadow pounce on her, then fell into a man's warm embrace. With a muffled groan, the man rolled several times on the ground protecting her before finally stabilizing her.
Kong Wange was still in shock, feeling her blood churning. After a long while, she crawled out of the man's arms and anxiously asked, "Murong Ting, how are you?"
Murong Ting coughed a few times: "I'm fine, how about you?"
Seeing that he was full of energy, Kong Wange breathed a sigh of relief, but then she punched the man's chest and said angrily, "Are you crazy? Do you know how dangerous this is?"
Murong Ting put his arm around her waist and said, "Alright, don't be angry. I'm fine now."
He deliberately changed the subject, asking, "What happened to the horse? Did you startle it?"
Kong Wange frowned and glanced at the chestnut horse that had already run far away: "I suspect that my horse has been tampered with."
"Is it Qin Yiyi?" Murong Ting's aura immediately darkened. "I think they're tired of living. I'll send someone to find evidence right now!"
How dare you touch his people right in front of him!
"No need. I roughly know what kind of drug they're using. This kind of drug works quickly but also goes away quickly. By the time we catch the horse, the drug's effects will have worn off."
"Then what should we do?"
Kong Wange helped him up: "Let's go back first."
"Um."
Murong Ting mounted his horse and carried her back to the starting point.
The three children quickly surrounded them upon seeing this.
"Mommy, are you alright?"
"Did Mommy fall?"
"Mommy, you scared us to death!"
Kong Wange patted the three little ones' heads to comfort them, saying, "Mommy's okay, don't worry."
Seeing that Kong Wange was all grown up and ready, the three little ones were relieved and turned to shower Murong Ting with compliments.
Kong Chi: "Daddy, that was so cool!"
Murong Chen: "Yeah, I won't watch Japanese sumo wrestling without you!"
Kong Ran: "Daddy, you're shining in my heart today."
Murong Ting smiled slightly: "Daddy promised to protect your mommy, so of course I'll keep my word."
