The subtle fragrance of cotton needles

Xia Yanxiang and Mo Yuchen set a date to meet, and before that Li Guan made an appointment with Xia Yanxiang to learn horse riding.

But it wasn't just the two of them who went together. There was also Tu Xiao. He had nothing to do, so he came to the Shangshu Mansion to find Xia Yanxiang. Another reason was Xia Yanxiang's cat, Nian Nian.

I don't know why, but he is not close to anyone else but is inexplicably close to Tu Xiao, which makes Dongfang Xujiang very unhappy.

Dongfang Xujiang was extremely enthusiastic towards Nian Nian along the way, but Nian Nian just ignored him.

Li Guan had already arrived at the horse farm, leading a wheeled horse. When he heard Yu Kui's message that Xia Yanxiang had arrived, he immediately came over with the horse.

The carriage slowly stopped, probably arriving at the horse ranch.

Sure enough, Tu Xiaolai knocked on the car door twice: "Sister Yanxiang, we're here."

Xia Yanxiang packed up, and before she could open the car door, she saw Li Guan yelling, "Ayan, hurry up, I picked a good horse for you."

"No," Dongfang Xujiang denied, "This horse is too fierce. Sister Yanxiang has never learned to ride a horse. This horse is not suitable!"

Xia Yanxiang pushed open the car door, got out and prepared to get out. Dongfang Xujiang came over and handed her his hand.

Xia Yanxiang hesitated for a moment, but still pressed his wrist and got down.

Li Guan was unwilling to give up. After Xia Yanxiang got off the ground, he ran over and squeezed Dongfang Xujiang aside: "Get out of the way! Ayan, what do you think of this horse?"

Dongfang Xujiang came back and quickly took the horse away: "I told you that this horse has a fierce temper. Sister Yanxiang has never learned to ride a horse. What if she gets hurt?

Before Li Guan could refute, Xia Yanxiang had already approached the horse: "This horse is good. Keep it!"

No one interrupted for a moment, only Dongfang Xujiang was still frowning: "Sister Yanxiang, this Marco is really fierce."

"Is it strong or not?" Xia Yanxiang boldly reached out and touched it. "How do you know if you don't try it?"

Unexpectedly, the horse let her touch it twice and even gently nudged her palm.

"…"Who said this about Ma Lie? Whoever said this, stand up!

"It seems that this horse is destined to be with me, so just give it to me! I'll bring it back to show my brother later." Xia Yanxiang laughed.

Li Guan pushed Dongfang Xujiang aside and led the horse away, making faces at Dongfang Xujiang as he walked: "Look, the horse I picked is awesome, isn't it?"

Xia Yanxiang had indeed never learned to ride a horse, but the horse had a connection with her. In just half a day, she had learned it quite well.

Only Xia Yanxiang and Li Guan were still riding horses on the racecourse. Dongfang Xujiang and Tu Xiao both knew how to ride horses, but they were just giving some pointers from the side.

Later, Tu Xiao went to find food for them.

After turning around, Xia Yanxiang saw Yukui winking at her, so she stopped and said, "Okay, Yukui is here. I think Yi has some important news. Ah Guan, I'll stop here today!"

Li Guan also saw Yu Kui: "Okay, there's no rush to ride a horse. You've been tired enough today."

Xia Yanxiang was still smiling, but when she saw Yukui's heavy face, she immediately felt something was wrong.

After Xia Yanxiang and the other two sat down, Yu Kui came over and saluted: "Miss, something happened in the general's mansion!"

Xia Yanxiang paused as she picked up the teacup and asked in a deep voice, "What happened?"

Yu Kui looked at the three of them and continued, "When I went back to report to the general today, I found that the general looked unwell, so I immediately asked someone to go to Wu'an Marquis's mansion to look for Madam Yue. Madam Yue took the general's pulse and found that his face was not looking good, so she asked me to come find you."

Xia Yanxiang put down the teacup, stood up suddenly, frowned slightly, and said, "Since Master's Wife has sent someone to look for me, it must be a big deal. No, I have to leave quickly."

He walked forward a few steps, then came back and said to Li Guan: "A Guan, please accompany me. You can take me on horseback. The carriage is too slow."

Li Guan had never seen her in such a hurry before, so he immediately asked someone to bring the horse.

"Brother Xujiang, please wait a moment. Let me know when my cousin comes back, and then go to the general's mansion. One more person always means more care."

"Okay," Dongfang Xujiang quickly agreed and went to find Tu Xiao.

When Xia Yanxiang and the others arrived at the general's residence, Yue Qing was about to go out. Xia Yanxiang grabbed Yue Qing's hand in a hurry: "Master's wife, brother..."

There was a street outside the door. Fortunately, Xia Yanxiang stopped in time. Yue Qing looked at her and said, "Go in first!"

"I haven't told my wife about this, for fear it might be dangerous." Yue Qing's face was gloomy.

Xia Yanxiang's palms were sweating a little. She pinched herself hard to calm down, "Master's Wife, just tell me!"

"Bai'er has been poisoned!" A heavy punch hit Xia Yanxiang's heart. "I have never seen this poison before. I have sent someone to find your master."

Xia Ruxiang was stunned for several seconds, then immediately responded, "Master's Wife, I'll go take a look first."

After saying this, he left without waiting for Yue Qing’s reaction.

As soon as he turned the corridor, he ran into Xia Zhibai: "Why are you in such a hurry? Didn't you say you were going horseback riding today?"

Xia Yanxiang was a little frightened, but felt better when she saw Xia Zhibai: "Brother..."

"What's wrong? Why do you look a little pale? Aunt Yue is here, let her take a look at you!" Xia Zhixiang thought she was not feeling well and immediately wanted to take her to find Yue Qing.

"I'm fine. I was just tired from riding a horse today, so I came back." Xia Yanxiang knew from his expression that Yue Qing probably didn't tell him about the poisoning. She walked over to him and took Xia Zhibai's arm. "Brother, where's my sister-in-law?"

Xia Zhibai had no doubts: "Your sister-in-law is having someone clean up the east wing! My father-in-law has already sent a letter saying that he will come to stay for a few days in a month, so your sister-in-law went to oversee the cleaning herself.

Xia Yanxiang walked forward with him, secretly sliding her hand down, pretending to tickle him, but actually secretly taking his pulse.

"You are so old, why are you still tickling me? I am a general, my whole body is hard, and I won't feel itchy no matter where you tickle me." Xia Zhibai touched the hair on the side of her face and patted her forehead with a little force.

"Brother!" Xia Yanxiang pretended to be dissatisfied.

Xia Zhibai suddenly became nervous: "What's wrong? Did it hurt? Let me take a look!

Xia Yanxiang's forehead was indeed a little red, which made Xia Zhibai feel distressed. He took her hand and walked forward quickly: "Aunt Yue, show Yan'er!"

Xia Yanxiang suddenly felt embarrassed. She had clearly done it on purpose, but her brother was so nervous about her. No wonder she hated Mo Yuyang so much.

After struggling for a while, Xia Zhibai finally believed that he had not hurt Xia Yanxiang. He gave Yue Qing a few more instructions before leaving.

"Master's wife, the situation is not good." As soon as Xia Zhibai left, Xia Yanxiang's face darkened. "I have never seen this kind of poison. Brother's pulse looks strong, but it is actually a little weak. I am afraid that the poison has already penetrated deeply."
