Good luck in pregnancy, the daughter of the prime minister's mansion has a soft waist
Chapter 191: Top-notch Horse
Shen Muxue acted coquettishly for a long time, but still failed to change the Queen Mother's decision. In the end, she had no choice but to follow Madam Kang back to the Duke's Mansion.
As soon as she got home, the usually indifferent Mrs. Kang's attitude changed dramatically. She began to show concern for Shen Muxue's living conditions: "Xue'er, don't blame me for neglecting you these past few days. I was really happy when your sister first came back. But I haven't forgotten you. The yard has been renovated. Go back and see if there's anything you're not satisfied with. I'll send someone to make some changes."
These words made Shen Muxue feel a little guilty. After all, she had no real blood connection with this family. They had raised her for 17 years for free, so it was normal for them to favor their own biological daughter now.
"Mom, I really don't care about this. My sister suffered a lot when she was a child because of me. How can I have the nerve to compare myself with her?"
After the mother and daughter had a frank conversation, the atmosphere returned to its previous intimacy.
When they learned that Mrs. Kang's nephew, Master Kang, was visiting and riding horses with Master Shen on the horse farm, they went there together.
Although Mr. Kang is her distant cousin, he is not only poorly educated, but also does not behave properly. He has been disliked by Shen Muxue since he was a child.
Unfortunately, this so-called relative liked to hang around Shen Muxue, and almost always tried to find excuses to get close to her. It was even heard that he secretly had a concubine who looked very similar to Shen Muxue.
Whenever this matter was mentioned, Shen Muxue felt extremely disgusted and wished she would never see this person again.
When she saw the two young men returning on horseback, Shen Muxue simply nodded slightly to her brother and asked calmly, "Brother, is this the good horse we just got?"
Master Shen was straightforward and frank, answering without beating around the bush: "That's right! This is the reward I won from the bet with Prince Jiang. Looking at the horse's physique, you can tell it's a top-notch horse. If you like it, consider it a gift to you."
"Thank you, brother."
Shen Muxue responded with a smile, then quickly and nimbly mounted the horse.
As the daughter of a female military commander who had practiced archery and horsemanship since childhood, she quickly developed a tacit understanding with the new horse. With a light kick to the horse's belly, she galloped away like an arrow.
Shen Luoxi, who was standing by, looked very disappointed. She tugged at Mrs. Kang's clothes and complained quietly, "Look, Mom, does my brother dislike me? Why does he always leave the things he likes to sister Mu Xue and is always so cold to me?"
Mrs. Kang was at a loss as to how to comfort her son. Mr. Shen asked in confusion, "You can't ride a horse, so what do you need a horse for?"
Shen Luoxi was speechless after being asked this question. Her eyes suddenly turned red and she looked like she was about to cry. She looked aggrieved.
Mrs. Kang saw this and quickly tried to smooth things over: "Your sister didn't know how to ride a horse before, and you taught her yourself back then. Now that you have some free time, why don't you teach Luo Xi? Brothers and sisters should help each other."
After hearing this, Shen Luoxi stared at Master Shen with hope and expectation in her eyes.
But Master Shen turned his head to look at Shen Muxue who had already ridden away, and said helplessly: "At that time, I was still young and had just learned to ride a horse, so I had the interest to teach Xue'er. But now I have a lot of things to deal with, so I don't have so much time to teach you. If Luo Xi really wants to learn, there are many great horse riding instructors at home, so you can ask anyone to teach you."
At this time, Master Kang, who was standing by, saw that his aunt looked a little embarrassed, so he stepped forward and said with a smile: "I can teach my cousin. Although my skills may not be as good as my cousin's, I believe that with my level, I can also teach Luo Xi."
Shen Luoxi took a step back in disgust, frowning, as if she was quite dissatisfied with someone's appearance.
Mrs. Kang quickly pulled her nephew aside and scolded him in a low but stern voice, "Stop messing around here, kid! Have you forgotten your mission? Hurry up and ride after her!"
Young Master Kang showed a look of embarrassment and complained quietly, "Aunt, you know I'm not a good horseman. Besides, Sister Yao has been gone for a long time. Even if I go after her now, I'm sure I won't be able to catch up. Going after her now will only make her laugh."
Mrs. Kang understood that the situation was indeed a bit tricky, so she softened her tone and tried to encourage the younger generation: "Don't say that I won't help you. You have had feelings for her since childhood, and everyone knows it. If Mu Xue agrees, then I will persuade the Duke to facilitate your happy marriage."
Upon hearing this proposal, Master Kang's eyes sparkled and he was immediately filled with fighting spirit.
He nodded in response, his tone filled with undisguised excitement: "Don't worry, I will definitely be able to win her heart. I do have some tricks up my sleeve when dealing with girls."
Just when the two of them were communicating with each other, they happened to see Shen Muxue returning on horseback.
Everyone decided to have a big lunch together.
People of all genders sat around the table eating and chatting. During this time, Mr. Kang always glanced at Shen Muxue secretly, with an indescribable emotion in his eyes, which made Shen Muxue instinctively alert.
Mrs. Kang and Shen Luoxi, who were sitting beside them, were happily chatting while eating, smiling knowingly from time to time. The whole scene was warm and harmonious.
In sharp contrast to this is Mr. Shen, who is taciturn and only cares about eating.
Shen Muxue secretly speculated that there must be some hidden plan between her mother and sister, who seemed to have a good relationship.
However, as the older brother in the family, he was completely unaware of this, which made Shen Muxue even more curious.
After the meal, Master Shen stood up and respectfully said goodbye to everyone: "Mother, please allow me to leave for a while. There is an important matter in the army that needs to be dealt with immediately."
Mrs. Kang looked at her son kindly and gently admonished him, "Good boy, go quickly and don't delay your work. You don't need to worry too much about things at home; everything has been arranged well."
After everyone saw Mr. Shen off, they went back to their rooms to take a nap. Everything seemed peaceful.
Shen Muxue thought she was worrying too much.
However, when she walked into her room and took a look, she was stunned.
I found that the house had been redecorated, and all kinds of decorations were luxurious. From ornaments to furniture, everything was made of fine materials, and was no less luxurious than the previous mansion.
Every corner of the room smelled of money, but to her, these material things were not important.
But these are really not that important to Meng Wenrui.
At this moment, all she was thinking about was how to further gain the emperor's favor.
