Chapter 131: The Young Lady Who Married to Another Family VS the Disabled Prince
Qiao'er nodded at Ye Zhenzhen, then retracted her gaze and forced a smile: "Let's bet. If you win, you have to apologize to the prince."
Su Wan'er scoffed, "If you lose, you must kowtow to me three times and nine times and admit that you were wrong. Do you dare?"
Ye Zhenzhen nodded and agreed, "Okay, it's a deal."
Someone in the crowd said leisurely, "Ye Zhenzhen is truly ignorant. Miss Su is an expert at pitching pots. Few among the noble ladies can surpass her. With Ye Zhenzhen's skills, can she really beat Miss Su?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Wan'er took the initiative and hit both ears, and there was a burst of cheers from the surroundings.
It is not easy to count six chips with both ears at once and hit the target.
The little fox grabbed the feather arrow, aimed at the mouth of the pot, and threw it, but missed. The arrow fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
After a few rounds, the score quickly widened.
After the first half, the score was horrible, and Ye Zhenzhen didn't make a single shot.
Qiao'er took the opportunity to bring Ye Zhenzhen a cup of tea and interrupted the conversation.
At the same time, in the carriage, after listening to Zi Yang's words, Lu Zhiyan slowly opened his eyes with a complicated look in his eyes.
"Oh? She made a bet with someone?"
"Yes, Prince." Zi Yang's voice was a little anxious: "I originally thought Miss Ye had some ability, but I didn't expect that after a few rounds, she was defeated miserably."
Lu Zhiyan scoffed, "I see."
Seeing Ye Zhenzhen dawdling for a long time while drinking her tea, Su Wan'er couldn't help but urge her, "Miss Ye, it's your turn."
Seeing that there were only two rounds left, Ye Zhenzhen would be directly judged as the loser. Su Wan'er was naturally anxious. She couldn't wait to see Ye Zhenzhen apologize to her.
Ye Zhenzhen looked around, and reluctantly picked up the feather arrow. Just as she was about to throw it, she heard a voice behind her.
"I heard that someone here is using this prince as a stake?"
Zi Yang pushed Lu Zhiyan and slowly came over from a distance and stopped in front of Ye Zhenzhen.
The little fox was delighted because the fish had taken the bait.
With his slightly cool fingertips, he pulled the feather arrow out of her hand. Lu Zhiyan looked at her deeply, then turned the wheelchair, facing the pot, holding a feather arrow in each hand, and swung it backwards.
Bang!
After a crisp sound, the two feather arrows fell squarely into the pot.
All the onlookers were stunned. This was a "Yi Gan" game, where ten chips were counted at a time and very few people could hit the target. Everyone couldn't help but look at Lu Zhiyan a few more times.
Su Wan'er also looked at Lu Zhiyan. Her face turned green with anger and she tightly grasped the material at the corner of her clothes.
"Is the prince going to stand up for Miss Ye?"
Lu Zhiyan looked at Su Wan'er, "Didn't you two make the bet because of this prince? If so, the bet is mine, so naturally I have to compete. And you also said that Miss Su feels that competing with a cripple like this prince is actually an insult to your status?"
Su Wan'er was so frightened that she immediately knelt down, not daring to look up. She replied in a trembling voice, "Your Highness, I dare not. Please understand, Your Highness."
She understood in her heart and guessed that the prince had heard what she had just said.
Perhaps, when her eyes fell on Ye Zhenzhen, she must have heard what Ye Jiaoqing had said to the prince, and she knew that this woman who looked as delicate as a little white flower on weekdays had the same tactics as those jealous concubines in the mansion.
Lu Zhiyan looked at Ye Zhenzhen, waved at her, and said, "Come here."
Ye Zhenzhen didn't know what he was going to do, but she still walked over as he said.
He raised his eyes to look at the girl standing in front of him. She was wearing a fiery red horse-faced skirt today, which made her look quite heroic.
However, this handsome outfit is completely different from her crybaby personality, giving people a huge sense of contrast.
"Squat down."
"Ah."
Although Ye Zhenzhen didn't know what the other party was going to do, she still followed his instructions and squatted obediently in front of him, feeling a little nervous.
The next second, her hand was held by someone and two feather arrows were stuffed into her hand.
The palm holding her felt a little cold, and the touch from her back made her face turn red.
The man's facial features were hidden at his sides and could not be seen clearly. Only his angular profile could be seen.
The distance between them was very close, she could even hear his breathing clearly, so she seized the opportunity and started rubbing against him "very casually".
Lu Zhiyan's voice was muffled and slightly hoarse:
"Hold still, focus, and use your wrist to generate power. Throw!"
Clang!
Following the crisp sound, thunderous exclamations erupted all around.
"Amazing! It's Yigan again! The prince's grip is so steady."
"Of course. The prince was famous for his ability to shoot arrows through arrows from a hundred paces and drink feathers from rocks."
"It's just a pity..." someone in the crowd said carefully. Ye Zhenzhen's heart tightened when she heard that, and she subconsciously turned to look at him.
The expression in Lu Zhiyan's eyes was unclear, but there was no ripple. Only the hint of loss in the depths of his eyes did not escape Ye Zhenzhen's eyes.
Yes, how could he not care? He used to be a prince who inspected troops on the battlefield, commanded the troops with great vigor and ambition.
A competition ended with Ye Zhenzhen turning defeat into victory.
Ye Wan'er was so angry that her face was twisted, but under the pressure of the prince, she had no choice but to admit defeat and apologize reluctantly.
"Sir, I apologize for my rude words. Please forgive me and don't argue with me."
"Ah."
The prince naturally wouldn't argue with a little girl. He said calmly, "Miss Su needs to be more careful with her words and actions in the future."
Su Wan'er lowered her eyes and said nothing.
……
Willows are swaying and magpies are chirping.
"Why are you standing up for me?"
Lu Zhiyan looked at the calm lake and threw a stone at Hu Zhong. "You're obviously not good at pitching pots, why bother..."
At this point, he suddenly choked up, and then urgently spoke: "Could it be that Miss Ye has a unique taste and only picks on the old, weak, sick and disabled?"
"It's simply because my maternal grandparents also had heroes who fought on the battlefield. Even though their spears were broken and sunk into the sand, their iron remains uncorrupted, and they will be polished and recognized as the previous dynasty. All heroes who defend their country should not be let down."
The little fox finished speaking in one breath, and finally sighed imperceptibly: "I just can't bear to see her humiliate the hero like this."
As she spoke, the little girl closed her eyelids and lowered her head.
Her eyes were red and tears were welling up in them. She was about to cry.
Seeing her like this, Lu Zhiyan's eyes were panicked for a moment. Two of his fingers gripping the chair loosened, but then fell back onto the back of the chair.
"Miss Ye, please put away your tricks. They are useless to me."
As he spoke, he quietly looked at her expression. The little girl took out the handkerchief he had given her and hurriedly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. She said in a trembling voice, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I am just, just a little scared..."
His eyes were deep and his tone was deep as he asked her, "What are you afraid of?"
As he spoke, he deliberately pushed his wheelchair a step forward and stared at her face. Sure enough, he saw the fear and terror in her eyes.
Then, his voice became even more fierce. "If you are afraid of me, why did you marry into this family? What are your intentions? If you don't give me a satisfactory answer, I will throw you out of here today."
