Dugu Jingyao is reborn as Li Chu's beloved

Chapter 278 Dugu Moyan teaches Shen Zhenzhu how to ride a horse

Not long after, the group successfully met up with Liu Jingyue and Chu Xinyu. Liu Jingyue was sharp-eyed and saw Dugu Moyan and Shen Zhenzhu walking towards the horse farm in the distance.

Seeing this, Liu Jingyue sighed inwardly: "Looking at this, I'm afraid everyone is trying to match them up! But this is not bad either. If Shen Zhenzhu lives in Yunnan in the future, it will not have any impact on my sister's status in the eyes of her future brother-in-law! Well, this is a good thing!" After thinking about it, a smile appeared on her face, and she pulled Chu Xinyu and walked forward quickly.

After approaching, Liu Jingyue pretended to be curious and asked, "Why did my cousin and Sister Shen leave us and go ride horses?"

Dugu Jingyao smiled faintly and patiently explained, "Didn't you notice that Sister Shen is wearing a dashing riding outfit today? She heard there's a large meadow here, and she's been itching to come over and try her horseback riding. It's just that she hasn't ridden a horse in a while, so her skills are a little rusty. That's why she asked her cousin to accompany her and teach her how to ride."

Since the three of them had come here together in a carriage without their maid, Su Ci and Hong Rui, who were standing nearby, couldn't help but feel a little worried after hearing Dugu Jingyao's words: "Is it really okay for the two of them to be alone together, a single man and a single woman?"

So Su Ci bravely bowed and said, "My Lady, there's no one to take care of our young lady and Master Dugu. How about this servant Hong Rui and I go over and take care of them?"

Dugu Jingyao wanted to say something, but Chu Xinghan spoke first: "They are riding horses. They won't be able to use you two if you go. Or do you know how to ride horses and train horses?"

Although Chu Xinghan's tone was a little impatient, Liu Jingyue praised him in her heart: "That's great, Chu Xinghan! You hit the nail on the head!"

Dugu Jingyao seemed to understand that they might be afraid of the bad luck for two men and women being alone together, so she said, "You guys stay here first. This is an open place, and we can see their movements from here." What she meant was that as long as we are supervising them, they won't be able to do anything out of line.

Su Ci and Hong Rui had no choice. After all, the others were masters and they were servants, so they could only stay here.

On the other side, on a wide meadow, Dugu Moyan was walking in front, leading his horse. He said, "Miss Shen, first get familiar with Chasing the Wind and the feeling of riding a horse. Don't be nervous, sit up straight, relax your legs, and don't pull the reins too tight."

Dugu Moyan said this, and Shen Zhenzhu also adjusted according to his words. Dugu Moyan saw it and praised Shen Zhenzhu sincerely, saying: "Miss Shen is really smart and did a great job."

Upon hearing this, Shen Zhenzhu raised a sweet smile, but this smile was infinitely magnified in Dugu Moyan's eyes. At this moment, he only felt his heart beating faster and his face slightly hot.

But Dugu Moyan had never felt this way before. He thought to himself, "What's wrong with me lately? Why do I always feel my heartbeat speeding up and my breathing becoming unstable? Am I sick? No, I have to go back and see a doctor."

Shen Zhenzhu on the horse did not dare to be negligent at all. She looked at the road ahead intently and did not notice the changes on Dugu Moyan's face.

Dugu Moyan pulled the horse around in a circle, circle, and circle again. After about four or five circles, Dugu Moyan asked, "How is it, Miss Shen, do you feel you are adapting well?"

Shen Zhenzhu nodded and said, "Well, Master Dugu, I feel much better, and I think Zhuifeng is very well behaved!"

Dugu Moyan laughed and said, "Haha, Miss Shen is smart. She got familiar with Zhuifeng quickly. When I first met Zhuifeng, it even threw me off my horse."

Shen Zhenzhu was a little surprised: "You look so strong, but you were thrown off your horse?"

Dugu Moyan shook his head and said, "No one is born knowing how to ride a horse, and I was naughty as a kid, so I got bumped and bruised a lot."

Shen Zhenzhu smiled again when she heard this and said, "You are quite powerful now. Others will only envy you and won't pay attention to what you were like before."

Dugu Moyan also smiled and said, "Miss Shen is right. By the way, are you tired? Do you want to come down and rest for a while?"

Shen Zhenzhu looked at Dugu Moyan. The sunlight happened to shine on Dugu Moyan's face, adding a touch of warmth to his smile. For the first time, Shen Zhenzhu felt that Dugu Moyan seemed to have a gentle side.

Seeing that Shen Zhenzhu didn't say anything, Dugu Moyan called out twice: "Miss Shen, Miss Shen?"

Shen Zhenzhu finally came back to her senses: "Huh? You called me?"

Dugu Moyan asked, "Miss Shen, do you want to come down and rest for a while?"

Shen Zhenzhu nodded when she heard that, and Dugu Moyan asked Zhuifeng to stop where he was. Then Shen Zhenzhu was ready to get off the horse, but she slipped and lost her footing on the stirrup, falling straight backwards. Fortunately, Dugu Moyan was quick-witted and grabbed her with his hands, and helped her safely to the ground before letting go.

After Shen Zhenzhu stood firm, she immediately bowed and thanked him: "Thank you, Master Dugu, for saving me."

Dugu Moyan just waved his hand and said worriedly, "No need to thank me, this is what I should do. Is Miss Shen injured?"

Shen Zhenzhu didn't feel uncomfortable anywhere, so she said, "I'm fine."

Dugu Moyan nodded slightly, and then said earnestly: "Miss Shen, you must concentrate on riding in the future and must not be distracted again. I am here today to protect you. If no one is with you, you will have to stay in bed for at least half a month after this fall. For a girl like you who yearns for the outside world, it is really torture!"

Shen Zhenzhu felt a little embarrassed and bowed, "I understand. Thank you, Master!"

Dugu Moyan didn't expect Shen Zhenzhu to suddenly change her name, so he pretended to be angry and said, "You haven't even performed the apprenticeship ceremony yet, why did you change your name?"

Shen Zhenzhu seemed to know that Dugu Moyan was not really angry, so she said, "I'll make it up to you later, I'll make it up to you later." After saying that, the two of them smiled at each other tacitly.

Meanwhile, Su Ci and Hong Rui were distracted, paying attention to what was happening with Shen Zhenzhu and the others. They had seen Shen Zhenzhu almost fall from her horse, and Su Ci couldn't help but scream, then quickly covered her mouth.

The others all looked at her, and Chu Xingchen looked even more worried: "Why are you yelling like that? You scared me to death!"

Su Ci quickly knelt down and said, "This servant did not mean to do that. I just looked up and saw our young lady almost falling off her horse, so..."

Hearing this, everyone turned around to look and saw Dugu Moyan holding Shen Zhenzhu with his hands. They were all shocked. However, Shen Zhenzhu landed safely on the ground soon, and everyone was relieved.

Dugu Jingyao then looked at Su Ci who was still kneeling and said, "Su Ci, I know you are worried that something might happen to Zhenzhu, but if you are so impatient, you will only hurt yourself and even Zhenzhu in the future."

Su Ci was frightened by Dugu Jingyao's serious tone and kowtowed quickly, saying, "Princess, I know I was wrong and I won't do it again!"

Hongrui also knelt down to plead for Suci: "Princess, please forgive him this time because Suci is worried about my young lady!"

Dugu Jingyao shook her head and said, "Don't worry, you are Zhenzhu's people. This princess will naturally not punish you. This princess will inform Zhenzhu about this matter. If she thinks Su Ci deserves punishment, she will punish her. If she doesn't, then let it go."

Su Ci felt as if she had been pardoned. After all, she had been with her mistress for so long, and she had never punished her or Hong Rui. She expected the same thing to happen this time. So she kowtowed and said, "Thank you, Princess! Thank you, Princess!"

Dugu Jingyao hummed softly and said, "Well, get up. It's just right for you to bring some refreshments over and ask them if they want something to eat or drink."

The two of them agreed and put a pot of tea, two teacups, and a plate of cakes in the food box. After asking for permission, they went in the direction of Shen Zhenzhu and Dugu Moyan.
