Chapter 11

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

As we all know, as one of the well-known hobbies of the rich, equestrian is not as artistic or enjoyable as musical instruments such as the piano, but class is an absolute barrier.

Working-class parents grit their teeth and can still afford to buy a piano and attend a training course, but the cost of equestrian, an ongoing activity from childhood to adulthood, is prohibitive.

The people present were either rich or noble. They were the proud sons of heaven who had run out of the horse training grounds. Therefore, when they heard that Fang Qing knew how to ride a horse, they were at most a little surprised.

However, if they were to compete with them, they would wonder if the people from the countryside all had an unafraid aura. In the end, reality would give her a big slap in the face.

On this point, they shared the same interests. Even Gu Cheng frowned slightly after hearing Fang Qing’s words.

As soon as she finished speaking, Wen Yan stood up and said, “Since we’re all here to play, it’s not a big deal to have a competition. Since that’s the case, why don’t we get a prize?”

Fang Qing raised her eyebrows. “Then what prize does Miss Wen want?”

Wen Yan still spoke gently, “If I’m not as good as Miss Fang, then Miss Fang can ask me for anything. If Miss Fang loses, then I believe that we’re all interested in Miss Fang’s past life in the countryside. Please tell us some interesting stories, Miss Fang.” With that said… Wen Yan’s eyes widened, revealing a really yearning expression.

Fang Qing did not lose out on this bet, but after thinking about it carefully, she realized that Wen Yan was certain that she would lose, and she even put on a magnanimous appearance to mock her background.

After saying that, Fang Qing only smiled self-deprecatingly. “Sure.”

In the eyes of others, Fang Qing’s actions seemed to be a subconscious act of regret. However, Fang Qing only knew that compared to this rich young lady who had lived in a palace since young, and everyone had given her the most docile horse… she did not treat her as an opponent at all.

Fang Qing turned her head to look at Gu Cheng and found that he was staring back at her.

Fang Qing said, “Lend me your precious horse.”

“Take it,” Gu Cheng said without hesitation.

Hearing this, everyone could not help but gasp. Since when did Gu Cheng lend his precious horse to others? He usually did not allow anyone to touch it.

They had thought that getting Fang Qing on the horse this time was already giving her a lot of leeway. But this time, letting her ride the horse to the competition had truly shocked everyone.

Moreover, this horse’s temper was also abnormally arrogant. Would it not throw her off when she ran?

With hesitation in their hearts, they saw that Fang Qing and Wen Yan had already gotten on their horses.

Gu Cheng called a coachman over, whispered a few words to him, and then let him go.

Wen Yan was riding a Kabardian horse, which was her usual horse. Not only was this horse docile, but its steps were also vigorous. It was the most suitable choice for a wealthy girl like Wen Yan, who pursued some results in horse racing.

The staff of the racecourse came over at this time to assist in the race. After hearing the word ‘begin’, Wen Yan immediately rode away with great skill. At this time, Fang Qing was still in the same place and did not make any movements.

At this moment, everyone was already discussing carefully below.

“Could it be that she really doesn’t know how to do it?”

“I told you that she was trying to make herself look good. She probably doesn’t even know how to ride the horse properly.”

Fang Qing did not pay attention to these noisy voices. In her heart, she kept repeating the numbers, five, four, three, two, one.

After the countdown was over, Fang Qing immediately clamped her feet on the black-brown horse’s belly. She controlled the strength of the reins in her hands. In less than two seconds, the black-brown horse immediately began to run. It looked as if it was flying. Fang Qing sat on the horse, giving off a valiant and valiant feeling, like a female general who had been in battle for many years.

Although the mild-mannered Kabardian horse was known for its liveliness, it was still not a horse that belonged to the race category. In a short while, Fang Qing’s horse caught up with it.

When Wen Yan saw this scene, he felt nervous. She waved the riding crop to increase the speed of the Kabardian horse. Unexpectedly, her foot slipped, and it slipped out of the stirrup. She actually fell off the horse.

Although Wen Yan had been riding since she was young, it was still a hobby. Usually, she only did it under the supervision of a trainer, so she had never had to race with a horse before. When she fell to the ground, her eyes turned black, and she fainted.

However, before Wen Yan fainted, she felt that someone had caught her. She had not landed on hard ground, but an arm. Wen Yan used her last strength to open her eyes wide, and she realized that this person was actually Fang Qing.

Fang Qing had caught Wen Yan, and Fang Qing had only used one arm.
