"Okay, both of you stop arguing." She sighed and turned to Wei Ruoming, "Prince, my old injury...is not fully healed yet. I'm afraid I can't accompany you to participate in today's polo match."

When Wei Ruoming heard this, the persistence on his face instantly melted away, replaced by deep concern: "Really? Do you need me to ask the imperial physician to check you carefully again?"

Ling Mohui weakly but politely declined everyone's kindness: "There's really no need to trouble the imperial physician. I just need some time to rest. I believe I'll be back to normal soon."

Although her thin face was still a little pale, it could not conceal her tenacity and optimism.

When Wei Ruoming heard this, a bright smile instantly appeared on his handsome face, and his eyes flickered with eagerness to try: "In that case, I won't play polo. Why don't I play cards with you guys to relieve my boredom!"

However, this proposal caused a subtle ripple in Ling Mohui's heart.

She knew very well that Wei Ruoming's card skills were amateurish, and he always played the cards in a somewhat casual manner, which made people worry about his luck.

At this moment, before Wei Ruoming's words fell, she keenly caught the slight but meaningful reaction of Yuan Fangfang beside her -

She frowned slightly, parted her red lips, and let out a gasp that was a mixture of helplessness and disgust.

Ling Mohui raised a gentle smile and skillfully declined Wei Ruoming's offer: "Prince, although I cannot play the polo myself at the moment, my love for polo has not diminished in the slightest. Your polo skills have long been famous in the capital. If you were absent today for some reason, this polo match would undoubtedly lose its most dazzling scenery."

However, this seemingly polite compliment seems to have a different meaning to others.

People began to whisper, their eyes moving between Ling Mohui and Wei Ruoming, speculating about the relationship between the two.

At this moment, in a corner of the polo match, Fu Yansheng, Zhang Xiyue, Zou Boyuan and others gathered together and inadvertently witnessed this scene.

Fu Yansheng's wife Ling Mohui was actually chatting and laughing with other men in public at this moment, and her behavior revealed an unusual intimacy.

Zhang Xiyue could no longer suppress her anger at the scene before her. "Cousin, my sister-in-law is your legal wife. How can she laugh and joke with other men in public? This is outrageous! It's too much!"

Although her voice was not loud, every word she spoke was like a knife, piercing people's hearts.

Zou Boyuan has always been steady, but his face was slightly gloomy at this moment. After hesitating for a moment, he decided to speak frankly to Fu Yansheng: "Yansheng, I know that family affairs are not for outsiders to interfere, but your wife is indeed too high-profile and ostentatious. Such actions may cause unnecessary misunderstandings."

Fu Yansheng listened to these accusations and advice, feeling mixed emotions and a surge of anger in his chest.

He clenched his fists and was about to step forward to question Ling Mohui, but he saw that she had been quickly pulled away by Yuan Fangfang and disappeared into the crowd.

Helplessly, he could only temporarily suppress his dissatisfaction and let the repressed emotions churn in his chest.

At this moment, the polo match has not officially started yet, but the card table where Ling Mohui is sitting has become the focus of the whole venue, with a lot of noise and excitement.

Ling Mohui had a white strip of paper on her cheek that symbolized victory, and her smile was as bright as spring. It was obvious that she had an absolute advantage in the gambling game.

Fu Yansheng, who was not far away, watched this scene quietly. The teacup in his hand trembled slightly, and ripples appeared in the tea, just like his turbulent mood at the moment.

"Ha, I finally beat you this time, hurry up and take out the money!" Yuan Fangfang was so excited that she almost jumped onto the card table. She looked so jubilant as if she had won the whole world.

Feeling Fu Yansheng's icy gaze, Yuan Jiacheng felt a chill rushing up from his spine to his forehead.

He shuddered involuntarily and quickly put on an apologetic smile: "Yan Sheng, you have to understand me! You also know that my sister has a temper like a wild horse that has broken free from its reins. I really can't do anything with her and I can't control her!"

He was afraid that Fu Yansheng would vent his anger on him because of Ling Mohui's willful behavior, and his tone was full of fearful and pleading.

The polo field is sunny and the grass is green.

As Prince Wei Ruoming stood up in a dignified but graceful manner, the polo match finally kicked off amid everyone's expectant gaze.

Wei Ruoming announced loudly: "Today, whoever wins the first place in this fierce polo competition, this silver hairpin inlaid with rare pearls in my hand will become his symbol of glory!"

He held up the exquisite and gorgeous silver hairpin, causing the whole audience to gasp in amazement.

Zou Boyuan, who was standing by, looked at the silver hairpin, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't help but blurt out, "Isn't that the wedding token that Brother Yan Sheng carefully selected and gave to Madam Gu when they got married?"

He still remembered clearly that when Fu Yansheng was selecting this item, he was by his side giving him advice.

At that time, he had no good feelings towards Ling Mohui and felt that she was not worthy of Fu Yansheng, so Fu Yansheng did not put too much effort into choosing this gift. Although it was not priceless, it contained his implicit and sincere affection for Ling Mohui.

Now, seeing that Ling Mohui actually used this silver hairpin as a bet and put herself in the center of the storm, Zou Boyuan felt an irrepressible indignation and regret in his heart.

When Fu Yansheng heard this, his originally calm expression was instantly shrouded in gloom, and the coldness in his eyes was chilling.

Seeing this, Zou Boyuan secretly thought that something was wrong and quickly changed his words to cover it up: "Maybe I am dazzled. It should just be something very similar to the silver hairpin that Brother Yan Sheng gave to Madam."

Fu Yansheng's face was frosty, but his heart was boiling with anger.

This woman was so disrespectful that she treated her deep affection as a chip on the gambling table!

Zhang Xiyue had been paying attention to the changes in Fu Yansheng's expression. Based on her understanding of him, she had roughly guessed the cause and effect of the matter.

She found the right moment and said with a charming smile: "Cousin, that silver hairpin is so beautiful. I really want to have it!"

There was just the right amount of desire and envy in his words.

Hearing this, Fu Yansheng's eyes flashed with a barely perceptible cunning light. He pretended to be concerned and asked, "Do you really like it?"

Zhang Xiyue nodded vigorously, with anticipation glittering in her eyes.

After getting Zhang Xiyue's confirmation, Fu Yansheng did not hesitate to order people to quickly handle the competition procedures. He then went to the stable in person and carefully selected an extraordinary mount.

Soon, he had changed into riding clothes and reappeared in everyone's sight.

Ling Mohui saw this scene from afar and frowned slightly.

In the past, Fu Yansheng just watched the game leisurely in the audience seats. Why did he suddenly become interested today and decided to go out and swing the club to hit the ball himself?

The people around were also puzzled by this move. Someone curiously asked Fu Yansheng, "Brother Yansheng, why do you have such a refined mood today? You actually want to personally participate in this polo match?"
