Quickly wear a child, the villain is more favored, who wants the male protagonist?

Zhou Yan entered the venue holding Xia Xizhi's hand, everyone knelt down, and the flower viewing banquet began.

As usual, Zhou Yan made some routine remarks, asking everyone to relax and be more casual without being bound by etiquette, and then started today's banquet.

At the beginning, they drank tea and tasted cakes, and the young ladies from each family who had talents showed off theirs.

Then Xia Xizhi symbolically rewarded a few people who performed well.

Next came the part that the girls were most looking forward to, playing polo.

A group of high-spirited and energetic young men came on the field. Playing polo not only tests their horsemanship but also their physical flexibility, fighting skills, IQ, and teamwork. It can be said to be a hearty feast of male hormones.

The young ladies in the stands all had red faces. This was one of the few opportunities for them to choose a husband for themselves, so they watched very seriously.

In order to show himself and attract Xu Liangyu's attention, Xia Shaoze, who usually doesn't play polo and rarely rides horses, changed into a flashy red riding suit and went on the court to play.

His appearance, coupled with the red riding suit, caused a sensation as soon as he appeared.

The girls clutched their handkerchiefs tightly and whispered excitedly,

"Who is he? Why have I never seen him before? He looks so handsome."

"Yes, yes, he is exactly like the Jade-faced Young Master described in the book. He is so handsome."

"Haven't you seen him? He's the third son of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Grand Minister of Agriculture Xia Shaoze. Oh, but he rarely attends banquets like this, and I don't think I've ever seen him play polo. It's said that apart from attending court, he spends all day at home researching and improving planting techniques. It's normal that you haven't seen him."

"So it's the third son of the Prime Minister's Mansion..."

Someone suddenly looked regretful and said, "What a pity."

The young ladies around knew what this meant. The Prime Minister's Mansion was incredibly powerful, and it was beyond their reach. Furthermore, the Prime Minister's Mansion was notorious for being a treacherous family, and no one with any integrity would marry their daughters to them...

Xia Shaoze saw that everyone around him was looking at him, and his confidence suddenly overflowed. He raised his chin proudly, pulled the reins, and confidently shouted "Go!", riding the horse around in a circle as if inadvertently.

After walking around to where Xu Liangyu was sitting, he secretly glanced at her, trying to see from her face the shy look that other girls had when they looked at him.

Unfortunately, Xu Liangyu had a calm and expressionless face...

Xia Shaoze's face immediately fell. This woman... has such a bad taste!

At this moment, a polo ball suddenly appeared from nowhere and rushed towards Xia Shaoze. He was startled and the rope was tightened, and the horse under him was also startled. It immediately started kicking and running like crazy.

Xia Shaoze gritted his teeth, grabbed the reins, and lay on the horse's back, praying frantically in his heart that he would not be thrown out.

If he was thrown out, he would be seriously injured at best, or even kicked to death by the horse at worst. The most important thing is that he can't afford to lose face!

The scene suddenly became panic-stricken, and the manager was sweating with anxiety.

If something happened to Prime Minister Xia's third son, the stable manager and the horse slaves present today would probably be dead.

"Whoever is the best at horse riding, please save Xia Sinong!"

At this moment, a silver-white figure suddenly flipped over from the stands and rushed into the court. At the moment when Xia Shaoze was about to be thrown out, she hugged him and pulled him back. At the same time, she jumped on the horse and held the reins tightly.

The horse kicked a few more times and was tamed. It snorted and stopped obediently.

Everyone present was shocked.

"Who is that? My God, she is so pretty. She is pretty in both appearance and kung fu. I want to give him a sachet!" A girl's cheeks were flushed as she looked at Xu Liangyu with starry eyes.

Someone chuckled.

"She's a woman, can't you tell?"

"Ah?" The girl rubbed her eyes, and was stunned when she saw it clearly. She collapsed on the seat with her head tilted up to the sky and screamed.

"What a sin! I finally found someone I like, but he's just as vain as me. Damn it! Why isn't she a man?"

The maidservant beside her quickly covered her mouth.

"Miss, have you forgotten what Madam told you? You must be careful with your words and actions and remain dignified and virtuous!"

……

Xia Shaoze was so frightened that his legs went limp. He collapsed in Xu Liangyu's arms, dumbfounded. He held Xu Liangyu's waist tightly. Xu Liangyu had no choice but to carry him off the horse.

Looking down at the person in my arms,

"How are you? Are you okay?"

Xia Shaoze finally came back to his senses, his face immediately turned red, and he quickly got off her.

He turned his head away awkwardly and tightened his sleeves.

"Not bad. Thanks."

Then he closed his eyes with a look of despair. How shameful of him!

She must really dislike him...

.......

Seeing this scene, Xia Xizhi couldn't help but raise his mouth. The woman is strong, the man is weak, the female general has a pretty husband, and it's quite good to eat...

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: He is worthy of being the third brother, he is really amazing!

After saving the person, he doesn't let go and just snuggles into the person's arms, hehe.

After this episode, the polo match continued. Under the persuasion of the steward, Xia Shaoze decided with a sullen face not to play.

.......

After a while, a man quietly came to Xia Shaoze and said in a low voice,

"Master, it's done. The person has been moved to our Xia family's villa and no one has discovered him. I have assigned ten more people to guard it."

"Well done, there will be a reward when you go back!" Xia Shaoze's depressed mood suddenly cleared up.

He finally accomplished something.

"Master, there's one more thing. I've also heard that the Xu family intends to ask His Majesty for permission to marry Miss Xu to Zhao Youcai, the head steward of the Imperial Household Department, who has lost three wives, during this flower viewing banquet.

"The Xu family is truly lacking in virtue. Miss Xu's mother is also a fool. She refused to leave even when someone tried to save her. She's so pedantic. The Xu family is threatening Miss Xu with her life. This mother is truly out of her mind."

Xia Shaoze was so angry that he gritted his teeth. This family was worse than pigs and dogs!

No wonder his sister asked him to save Xu Liangyu’s mother. It turns out that this was the kind of life she lived in Xu’s house!

"Go back to my yard and secretly deliver the bag of poisonous rice I planted last year to the Xu family's kitchen!"

The visitor's mouth twitched, and he quickly lowered his voice and said,

"Master, didn't you say that the bag of rice could kill ten cows? Do you really want to poison them? There are dozens of servants in the Xu Mansion..."

Only then did Xia Shaoze calm down. Although that family was a bunch of bastards, the servants were innocent.

It seems that I need to think carefully before avenging her.

"Okay, I get it. Go down and keep an eye on her mother. Don't let her get away."

"What about the poisoned rice?"

"Let them live first."

"Yes."

After the people left, Xia Shaoze looked up at Xu Liangyu's profile, his eyes full of heartache...

He thought that a woman as brave, intelligent and beautiful as her would have a good life, but he didn't expect that the Xu family was a den of jackals who didn't know the value of a pearl.

If his sister hadn't pushed him to do this, he, who only knew how to improve seeds in the mansion all day, might never have realized how hard she worked in his life.

If she married someone like Zhao Youcai, he couldn't even imagine what kind of life she would go through...

It's all his fault. If only he had discovered it earlier.
