C260 Ma Suddenly Died

Hai Xiaomin was in a good mood and was too lazy to argue with him. She only smiled and said, "The horse is right there. You can go by yourself if you want to ride it."

"Hmph! Isn't it just riding a horse? Who doesn't know how to ride a horse? " Du Qing glared at Ling Yao and snorted coldly. He didn't even eat. He stood up and walked out.

Hai Xiaomin was a little dumbfounded. His head was still covered with bandages. His broken ribs could not be healed so quickly. Did he really go on a horse?

"Do you want to go and take a look?" She asked Ling Yao worriedly.

Ling Yao elegantly cut a piece of steak and put it into his mouth. He calmly said, "Don't worry about him."

Hai Xiaomin could see that Ling Yao was competing with Du Qing. It was rare for this man to have such a childish side. She laughed in her heart and used a silver knife and fork to slowly cut the steak on the plate. "But aren't you afraid that something will really happen to him here?"

"That kid has thick skin and thick flesh. He won't die." Ling Yao said. With Mount Tai collapsing, if he was afraid, he would have asked someone to tie Du Qing up and send him back to his home.

Seeing how confident Ling Yao was, Hai Xiaomin was skeptical and also chose to calm down.

She had a full lunch and planned to digest it before going to the grass field. She did not expect that it would not be long before she went to the grass field. Someone ran over in a hurry and told them with a panicked expression that something had happened!

Hai Xiaomin's heart thumped. Her first reaction was that something had happened to Du Qing. Half of her heart felt cold.

She rushed to the grass field with Ling Yao. At first glance, she saw a group of people surrounded there. They looked panicked, but the second time, she saw Du Qing sitting on the grass outside the crowd. The bandage on his forehead showed signs of bleeding again. The corner of his mouth was also scratched, and his face was dark and ugly.

She quickly walked over. "Du Qing, are you alright?"

Du Qing looked up at her, and his expression relaxed a little. "Don't worry, I'm fine, but..."

He turned his head and looked through the crowd. Hai Xiaomin turned her head and saw that in the middle of the crowd, there was a black horse surrounded. It was the one they rode this morning.

At this moment, the black horse was lying on the ground, motionless.

"What happened?" Ling Yao's low and cold voice passed through the crowd.

Immediately, the crowd made way for Ling Yao and lowered their heads.

The person who raised the horse stepped forward, and there was a painful expression on his face. "I don't know what's going on with the night. It was fine in the morning, but this mister came over to ride at noon. Not long after, it lost control and threw the person to the ground. It ran wildly on the grass, and then fell to the ground and died."

Heiye was the name of the horse. The person who raised the horse and waited for it for a long time had developed feelings for it. How could he not be sad that the horse suddenly died?

Ling Yao walked to the front of the horse and squatted down. His handsome eyebrows were locked. His eyes swept over the horse's corpse. There were many reasons for the sudden death. He could not see any problems on the surface with his naked eyes. He got up and instructed. "Deal with it."

"Yes, sir." The horse keeper replied. He also understood that the death of a horse was not worth the effort.

The horse that she rode in the morning had died in front of her eyes in the blink of an eye. Hai Xiaomin's good mood that had been for a long time was instantly set aflame.

"This was an accident." Ling Yao walked over and held her arm. He was afraid that she would have a psychological burden and comforted her.

Hai Xiaomin forced a smile and did not have the mood to change horses. She went back to her room to rest in the afternoon.

Under a long corridor in the manor, the purple vine dropped green branches. The environment was quiet.

Ling Yao leaned against the stone pillar, his cold and sharp eyes staring straight at someone.

At this moment, he was alone with Du Qing. The latter was annoyed by his stare. "You suspect me?"

"I just want to know if you have any clues." Ling Yao slightly opened his mouth. "Also, you did kill that horse on purpose to vent your anger!"

Du Qing was angry. "What anger?! What do you think I am? Am I that kind of despicable person?"

"Judging from your behavior at the gala, pestering my wife, blackmailing her, and shamelessly following you to the dark history, I don't think you have any clean methods." Ling Yao said without any consideration for his feelings.

This time, Du Qing really had nothing to say. He was so angry that his chest heaved up and down. He pointed at Ling Yao and gritted his teeth. "How did that horse die? I still want to ask you guys. Do you want to kill me? I almost fell to my death! Fortunately, I was the one riding the horse. If it was your wife, would she still be alive? You owe me a favor... Hey, hey, hey. You're leaving just like that?"2

" No one wants to hear you complain! You're the one who wants to ride a horse, no one's pointing a gun at your head to force you! " Ling Yao threw the horse away coldly. With these words, he strode away with his long legs.

Du Qing was right. If it wasn't for him, Hai Xiaomin would have fallen off the horse today!

Ling Yao's handsome face was covered in a layer of haze. He hoped that his worries were unnecessary, it was just a coincidence.

Hai Xiaomin took an afternoon nap. Perhaps it was because she was too tired from riding the horse in the morning, she slept until dusk. When she woke up, the orange morning sun outside the window was like a fire, burning the light in the room to a warm color.

The room was very quiet. Ling Yao was not in the room.

Hai Xiaomin only felt miserable when she moved. Today she was riding a bumpy horse, and her buttocks were sore. It was simply intoxicating. She endured the discomfort in her body and got off the bed, put on her coat, and walked out of the room.

At this time, everyone on the mountain should come down. Where would Ling Yao go?

Hai Xiaomin was wandering around in the manor looking for people. Occasionally, she met people and did not ask where Ling Yao went.

Just as she was wondering, she suddenly caught a familiar figure in her line of sight.

Ms Kuan?

Oh right, she had some doubts to begin with and needed to ask Ms Kuan about it. If it was a misunderstanding, it would clear up her doubts. If Ms Kuan had any difficulties, she might be able to help her.

After all, it was Ms Kuan who was sent away because of her punishment. Hai Xiaomin did not even know what Ms Kuan did wrong back then and thus she felt some guilt towards the other party.

Hai Xiaomin intended to talk to Kuan Xiang and walk towards that direction but in the end, she bypassed an obstacle and saw that there was another person standing in front of Ms Kuan.

The footsteps that were moving forward unconsciously stopped. It was him!

Du Qing!

The two of them stood opposite each other, standing very close. As she was quite far away, she could not hear what they were saying. However, the smiles on their faces from time to time could be seen. From the looks of it, they had gotten along pretty well.

Hai Xiaomin's eyes were filled with doubt. What was the matter with this Du Qing? Yesterday, he even asked her to be on guard against Ms Kuan. Today, the relationship between the two of them became better?

Finally, Hai Xiaomin saw Du Qing hugging Sister Guan's shoulder and the two of them left together. It was obvious that Du Qing was the one who took the initiative.

Although Hai Xiaomin was called Sister Kuan Xiang, Kuan Xiang was actually only 26 or 27 years old. She was also beautiful and had an intellectual temperament. It was not strange that Du Qing would like her. It was just that these two people were developing too quickly.

Love at first sight?

Wait, why did this word sound so familiar?

That's right! Yesterday, Du Qing even used this word to trick her!
