Chapter 23 You're such a gossip!
Chapter 23 You're such a gossip!
Lu Yangyang's thin, dark hand grasped Cheng Er Guniang's fist, which was bigger than a weight. Then, with a gentle push, she sent Cheng Er Guniang's robust body, as large as a small mountain, uncontrollably backward.
He retreated more than ten steps before barely managing to regain his footing.
Miss Cheng stood there in a daze, as if she were in a daze, unable to come back to her senses for a long time.
Sheng Yunjiao was the first to cry out, "Ahhh, that really scared me to death, Yangyang! If you hadn't been there, I would have been knocked senseless by her punch! I was so scared, so scared!"
Yan Yue then walked over, looking at Sheng Yunjiao and Lu Yangyang uncertainly: "Are you two alright?"
Sheng Yunjiao shouted, "Something's wrong, of course something's wrong!"
She pushed Yan Yue aside and yelled at Cheng Er, "Cheng Er, you just wait, I'll beat you to a pulp!"
Miss Cheng was also frightened. She was impulsive, but she didn't resort to violence so easily. She knew she was strong, and if she hit someone, especially one of these delicate young girls, she might cause trouble.
Today, she was so angry with Sheng Yunjiao.
What Sheng Yunjiao hates most about people is not only her arrogant and unforgiving personality, but also her sharp tongue that makes people want to tear her apart!
It caws like a crow, it's so annoying!
She was still terrified, but after being provoked by Sheng Yunjiao, she rolled up her sleeves again and said, "If you've got the guts, come over here. I want to see who beats whom to a pulp!"
"Alright, stop arguing!" Yan Yue shouted, his head throbbing. Then he said to Miss Cheng, "Miss Cheng, no matter what, it's wrong to resort to violence. You should apologize to Sheng Si."
"That's more like it!" Sheng Yunjiao instantly became smug, looking at Cheng Er Guniang with a sly grin, waiting for her to apologize.
Not only is Miss Cheng tall, but she is also fourteen years old this year, the age when she is just beginning to fall in love. Although Yan Yue's reputation in the capital is not good, he has a face that is extremely attractive to young girls, especially his peach blossom eyes, which seem to be electrified when he looks at people, making them feel tingly.
Miss Cheng, who was fond of men, had already blushed at the sight of Yan Yue's face. However, Yan Yue's intervention clearly showed that he was siding with Sheng Yunjiao, and she immediately became aggrieved, "Waaah, you're all bullying me! I'm going to find my third brother!"
Then she covered her face, turned around, and ran away.
"Cheng Er, stop right there! All you do is complain, isn't that it? You haven't told me yet..." Sheng Yun was about to curse in a spoiled manner when Yan Yue grabbed her.
"You should say less! If it weren't for Yangyang just now, you wouldn't just have your face ruined, you might have been beaten senseless!" Yan Yue said sarcastically without any mercy.
He never imagined that he would end up mediating a conflict between young girls; it was truly bizarre.
He used to hate playing with them!
"You're the one who got beaten silly!" Sheng Yunjiao muttered. She wasn't ungrateful, so she immediately turned around and hugged Lu Yangyang's arm, nuzzling her ear with her head: "Yangyang, you're really my lucky star! Let me tell you, that Cheng Er is really fierce. I heard that when she was born, because she looked so much like her father, Madam Cheng was very worried. So she named her Shujin, Cheng Shujin, hoping that she would be well-mannered and refined in the future. But what happened?"
Lu Yangyang glanced at her: "You're so gossipy."
Sheng Yunjiao blinked: "How can this be called gossip? I just happen to be a little bit well-informed. Let me tell you, don't let Cheng Shujin's tough-guy appearance fool you. She has an older sister named Cheng Ruoxue, who is a complete innocent and delicate flower, the complete opposite of Cheng Shujin. Sheng Yunzhu's affected and coquettish behavior is mostly an act, but Cheng Ruoxue is different. She genuinely looks like a delicate flower at first glance, making people feel sorry for her. Logically speaking, Cheng Ruoxue and Sheng Yunzhu should be birds of a feather, but for some reason, they both really dislike each other."
"The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Although Cheng Ruoxue is quite annoying, I can introduce her to you another day. She probably won't come to an event like today."
Sheng Yunjiao chattered away, and Yan Yue, who was following behind them, was forced to listen to a peek at the gossip. Several times he wanted to speak but then stopped himself and held back.
When they arrived at the polo field, the stands around the field had already been decorated. Prince Rong was indeed a man who knew how to enjoy life. He had installed sunshades on all the stands and prepared fruits and snacks. The scene was quite spectacular.
This was the first time Lu Yangyang had ever seen such a grand spectacle. Although the competition had not yet started, some people were already warming up on the field. There were strong, spirited horses and spirited young men on the horses. The laughter and cheers made Lu Yangyang feel like she was in a dream.
The "she" in the dream had never seen these things before.
It seemed that from the moment she entered the Duke of Sheng's mansion, she was trapped in an inescapable cage, until the moment she was imprisoned and despised by everyone, her whole world turned gray.
But from Lu Yangyang's perspective now, this world is clearly colorful.
That's why she won't be trapped.
"Would you like to give it a try?" Yan Yue couldn't help but suggest, seeing Lu Yangyang's eager expression.
Lu Yangyang really wanted to give it a try.
"But I can't ride a horse, I've only ever ridden a donkey." Lu Yangyang looked at the tall horses inside with great longing, gripping the railing with both hands and craning her neck forward, not even noticing the snacks on the table behind her.
"The competition won't start for another half an hour. I'll take you down to play for a while first. Riding a horse isn't difficult, it should be..." Yan Yue thought to himself, it should be similar to riding a donkey, right?
"Is it possible?" Lu Yangyang asked excitedly.
"Of course! Let's go!" Before Yan Yue could even agree, Sheng Yunjiao grabbed Lu Yangyang's arm and excitedly dragged her down the stairs.
Yan Yue hurriedly followed.
He first had someone bring over the horse that he had chosen for Lu Yangyang in advance: "This foal is not yet an adult, but it has a relatively docile temperament and is not very tall, so it's just right for you. You can get on first, and I'll have someone help you lead it and give it a run."
Yan Yue had chosen this young horse for Lu Yangyang's sake. Fearing Lu Yangyang would be unhappy, he quickly added, "Don't underestimate its size. It's a very good breed. Although it can't compare to the Akhal-Teke, it's still a magnificent steed."
"It's already very good, thank you." Lu Yangyang didn't listen to what Yan Yue was saying at all. She looked at the brown-red pony as if she were seeing her dream horse, and her eyes were only on this horse.
This is the first horse she ever owned!
Lu Yangyang stepped directly onto the footrest and nimbly flipped herself up.
"Wow!" Sheng Yunjiao exclaimed in surprise, "I knew Yangyang could do it!"
But as soon as she finished speaking, the horse that Lu Yangyang had jumped onto seemed to be startled and suddenly darted away.
"Great!"
