Chapter 502 - Fierce Wind is Jealous (2/2)
Yu Xiaocao was still not happy, “That’s also not okay! My Little Red is so sweet and obedient and didn’t start this trouble. It was clearly the fault of someone else who shamelessly came forward. So shameless and brazen ah!” It wasn’t as if she didn’t know how to say things in a roundabout way.
Zhu Junyang was helpless against her onslaught and could only admit defeat now. He ordered Fierce Wind, “Fierce Wind, it’s about enough, alright? It’s not as if you have a blood-feud right now. Are you really going to fight until the other can’t anymore? Come back!”
Fierce Wind resentfully turned around. As it turned, it took one last bite at Falling Snow’s neck. Falling Snow’s reactions weren’t fast enough so it ended up with a bloody bite mark on its neck. However, Fierce Wind was still going easy on the other horse. Otherwise, the white horse would be missing a bit of flesh right now.
Falling Snow let out an anguished whinny and Ning Donglan hurriedly took out a handkerchief to treat his poor horse. Yu Xiaocao, who had been watching all of this, quite liked that pretty white horse so she wet her own handkerchief with some mystic stone water and offered it over, “Young Master Ning, use this to wipe Falling Snow’s wound ah.”
Ning Donglan didn’t refuse her good intentions and took the offered handkerchief as he washed the wound on Falling Snow’s neck. He complained out of love, “That horse really bit down hard. Clearly the horse is like its master; both are irritable and bad tempered!”
As someone who shielded the short-comings of her loved ones, Yu Xiaocao wasn’t happy, “It wasn’t right for Fierce Wind to bite Falling Snow. I know you love your horse but you can’t just blame other people unjustly.”
Ning Donglan inwardly thought, ‘If Royal Prince Yang had restrained his horse earlier, would Falling Snow be injured now?’ However, he could tell Xiaocao was protecting Zhu Junyang and didn’t say anything more.
Zhu Junyang was over the moon when he saw his little lass defending him. It was as if he had just drank a cup of ice cold water during the hottest day of the year. It was obviously that his little lass still had him in his heart and she wasn’t bewitched by another pretty face.
After they waited for quite a bit, He Wanning and the others finally caught up with them. He Wanning had a dissatisfied expression on her face as she complained, “Younger Sister Xiaocao, is this how the host should be acting? Leaving the guests behind while you run off in front? Yes, we all know that your steed is amazing. When I get back, I’m going to have my father find me a good horse and leave the three of you guys in the dust next!!”
“Alright ah! This silly animal of mine took control of the situation and insisted on competing with Fierce Wind and Falling Snow. I wasn’t trying to show off my horse. Older Sister He, don’t blame me wrongly!” Yu Xiaocao suppressed the smile on her lips and patted Little Red’s neck as she easily transferred the blame over.
He Wanning stared at Little Red with a covetous gaze. Little Red felt a bit uneasy by this and irritability stamped its hooves on the ground. He Wanning nodded her head, “Younger Sister Xiaocao, your horse doesn't look very impressive and I would have never expected that it would be on the same level as a Ferghana horse. If I’m not wrong, this horse of yours should be a mare right?”
After Xiaocao nodded her head in assent, He Wanning revealed an expectant expression, “Then, once this horse has a foal, it will go to me. I’ve already spoken and made this reservation. You’re not allowed to give it to anyone else!”
“Who did you make an agreement with? Did you get this prince’s permission yet?” Zhu Junyang once again felt like the little lass wasn’t taking him seriously. She even agreed to send out Fierce Wind’s and Little Red’s future child out to someone else without even consulting him.
Yu Xiaocao and He Wanning both looked at him with similar flabbergasted expressions on their faces, “Why do we need to get your permission?”
Strictly speaking, He Wanning was actually considered cousins with Zhu Junyang. Other people were afraid of this devil-like Royal Prince Yang, but she wasn’t, “This is strictly between me and Younger Sister Xiaocao, why are you butting in?”
Zhu Junyang huffed and said, “The little foal that you’re talking about is also the descendant of Fierce Wind. Why can’t I, as one of the masters involved here, also have an opinion?”
“Who says that Little Red’s kid must be Fierce Wind’s kid?” Yu Xiaocao didn’t expect this fellow to be this aggressive that he wouldn’t even allow other people’s horses to breed with her horse.
Zhu Junyang’s expression darkened even more, “What kind of owner are you? Haven’t you seen the relationship between Fierce Wind and Little Red? Are you going to callously tear them apart?”
‘What kind of eyes do you have to think that Little Red and Fierce Wind are in a loving relationship? Obviously it’s only Fierce Wind who is shamelessly pestering Little Red and my Little Red hasn’t yet agreed to this!’ However, she could tell that Zhu Junyang was truly mad about this so Yu Xiaocao didn’t bother to quarrel with him. The first step hadn’t even been taken yet, so what was the point in arguing over the future of Little Red’s children? There were better things to do!
“In front of us is the Imperial Plantation, do we want to go directly to the back hills or first go to the main building to rest a bit?” As the host, Yu Xiaocao couldn’t spend all of her time soothing the hurt feelings of a certain someone. She needed to make sure she took good care of all of these noble-born misses and young masters.
