There weren't many twists and turns along the way, and Song Jiaoyue didn't have much contact with Long Heng.
Song Jiaoyue would often ride together with him on horseback, and would usually leave after exchanging a few words.
Sigh, the road to seducing the second male lead was getting further and further away.
She was a little dejected and leaned her head against the carriage window. In the end, the carriage rolled over a stone and her chin was hit.
"Ah …" Why were the wheels made of wood? She missed the modern buses.
"What happened?" A deep voice asked.
"Nothing, I accidentally bumped into something." How could he hear such a small sound? She was really fed up.
"…" She was so easily hurt. Giving her Red Pearl was the right choice.
Long Heng rode on the horse, but his mind was filled with thoughts of what would happen after they returned to the residence.
He was determined to get that woman. As for Miss Lin, he sneered at the thought of her. He really had no interest in a woman who had colluded with another man and ran away, especially when that man had caused his woman to be injured.
Speaking of which, Ji Zhangshu seemed to have returned with the Lin family. He was just ahead!
Since he dared to touch his people, he had to pay the price.
He said a few words to the person below, and the person was startled for a moment before he left.
He then returned to the Old Madam and said, "Mother, there is a very beautiful lake nearby. We can go there and rest for a while.
Your son can hunt some wild animals for you. It's better than those dry rations. "
"There's no need to trouble yourself. Although wild animals are good, you still have to be careful not to get hurt." The Old Madam was naturally concerned about her son.
"Your son has been away for many years, but I have never accompanied you out. This is a rare opportunity." Long Heng knew his mother's temperament well, so his words hit the nail on the head.
The Old Madam also felt that this was her son's kind intentions and nodded in agreement.
However, when they arrived, they discovered that someone had beaten them to it. It turned out to be the Song family.
Song Jiaoyue loved the clarity of the lake, and Long Heng knew that he was the one who introduced them.
Seeing that they had arrived, the two families joined together. Because it was an excursion, there were not too many restrictions.
Bai Xiangxiu, who was extremely well-behaved, did not allow her to accompany the Old Madame. They found a very flat ground and put down their stool.
He also set up a wooden table that could be used for drinking tea.
The water was freshly fetched from the lake. Once it was boiled, the tea would be fragrant and sweet.
Madam Song glanced at Bai Xiangxiu, who was wearing a formal hat, and said, "Madam, you don't have to be so reserved. There are no outsiders here, so you can take off your hat."
"There's no need. This concubine suffered some injuries before. After applying some medicine, this concubine looks a little unsightly."
After saying that, she smiled slightly. Although the hat could cover her red nose, it could not hide her smile and beautiful appearance.
Madam Song admired her very much. The inner residence lacked women who could make people worry less. She had seen the other three women in the prince's residence before, and they were not as good as the one in front of her.
When they sat down, the men all laughed. Song Jiaoyue also had a younger brother who admired Long Heng very much. When he heard that he was going to hunt, he insisted on following.
Song Jiaoyue joked, "If you can keep up with that little bit of horsemanship of yours, it's already not bad. Be careful not to get injured and scare mother when you come back."
The younger brother smiled embarrassedly and said, "I'll just watch from afar. Prince, please don't dislike me.
In fact, this younger brother has practiced archery for a few years. I've often heard that you can shoot three arrows at the same time. I wanted elder brother to arrange for me to see it, but I never had the chance.
Today, I finally have the chance. Even if I fall to my death, I still want to see it. "
Madam Song was quite generous to her family. Moreover, this son of a concubine had grown up by her side since his mother died.
Hearing him say this, she smiled and said, "How did I raise you to have the temperament of a devil incarnate?"
The old madam smiled and said, "Heng 'er, take younger brother with you. Be careful not to hurt him."
"Yes."
Long Heng rode his own horse. Because he cherished his warhorse and didn't want it to be burdened by small matters, he randomly picked a horse from the fu.
One man and one horse stood under the sun. They looked very heroic and made people feel awe.
Song Jiaoyue, on the other hand, was wearing white clothes and riding a white horse. No matter how you looked at it, he was the legendary prince on a white horse.
The two of them rode their horses into the forest. Bai Xiangxiu couldn't help but sigh. Female lead, you really don't know how lucky you are. You're running with two good men. Are you crazy?
When she was reading the novel, she didn't know that she was using her cousin to run. If she knew, she definitely wouldn't have supported any female lead.
Although her cousin didn't go with her, if this spread out, it would definitely ruin her reputation.
Forget it. In any case, it was fine as long as she didn't tell anyone.
"It's a pity that the Prince personally hunted prey, but today is your fast day."
Xiao Shi brought Bai Xiangxiu some water to wash her hands.
Because she had to serve the old madam, she had to put on an act and personally make a few dishes.
In fact, this wasn't a problem for her. When she was in university, because the food in the cafeteria was too disgusting, she had secretly brought food back to the dormitory to cook.
At the time, her roommates loved her to death. Especially her vegetarian dishes, they were famous throughout the university dormitory.
"It's nothing. It's fine as long as you don't eat it." Bai Xiangxiu didn't mind. Today, Madam Song and Song Jiaoyue were both here. She should show off her culinary skills.
However, they didn't bring many ingredients. She took a small basket and brought Xiao Shi to pick a few wild vegetables to eat.
As someone who often dealt with these kinds of plants, she was very clear about which ones could be eaten and which ones couldn't.
When they came back, the servants had already set up a pot. Bai Xiangxiu really did personally pick and cook the vegetables. She didn't hesitate at all.
However, wearing a hat while cooking was too much of a hindrance, so she temporarily took it off and put it aside.
It wasn't easy to cook in a big pot. Fortunately, she only used it to prepare for the masters.
The masters of these two families added together didn't exceed ten, so it was very easy.
With the few ingredients she had, she made two hot dishes, two cold dishes, and a flower plate with wild flowers. It was edible and tasted good.
When Long Heng, Song Jiaoyue, and the others came back with rabbits and pheasants, they saw this scene. A girl as beautiful as a fairy wearing a long apron was using her sleeves to wipe her sweat while preparing to eat.
The corner of her mouth was overflowing with a happy smile, and her expression was so gentle that it dripped water.
In this kind of situation, nine out of ten men would be fascinated by it, and the three men in front of them were dazzled.
However, when she raised her head, her red nose was very eye-catching. The son of a concubine of the Song family couldn't help but laugh.
When he laughed, Song Jiaoyue also laughed. He felt that he hadn't laughed so happily in a long time.
In particular, the girl seemed to have heard the laughter and looked up at them. It was obvious that she was a little confused and didn't understand what they were laughing about.
However, this kind of appearance made people's hearts tremble.
In modern words, this was silly cute.
In ancient times, it was silly cute.
Long Heng was also a man. The corner of his mouth couldn't help but curve up. Then, he threw the bloody thing down and said, "Deal with it."
It was only after Long Heng had dismounted that the girl seemed to have realized why they were laughing. Her face flushed red as she frantically put on her veil. Her flustered and exasperated appearance caused the corners of Long Heng's lips to curl up.
He was handsome to begin with, but because of his long face and murderous aura, he was ignored by others.
However, this smile was like an iceberg melting and the earth returning to spring. It immediately stunned the women of the Lin and Song families.
