Chapter 183 Fighting
Just at this moment, Su Yu's carriage passed by. He was admiring the street view outside through the window when he suddenly noticed the old woman lying on the ground.
"Xie An, stop the car," Su Yu ordered.
Xie An hurriedly pulled the reins and stopped the carriage by the roadside. Su Yu jumped off the carriage and walked quickly to the old woman.
He squatted down and carefully checked the old woman's condition, then asked Aunt Qin Xin beside him with concern: "What happened to this old lady? Why is she unconscious?"
When Qin Xin saw that someone finally came to ask, a hope suddenly surged in her heart. She couldn't help but choke up and tears rolled down her cheeks.
"Please, sir, please save my old lady! We were originally out looking for a Taoist temple, but unexpectedly we got on a wicked carriage. The driver not only stole all our money and jewelry, but also abandoned us in the mountains. The old lady was frightened and had a high fever. We are now penniless and cannot afford the medical expenses. Wuwuwu..."
Qin Xin didn't dare mention again that she was a member of the palace, because she had tried to explain her identity many times before, but no one believed her, and many people even thought they were liars.
Su Yu looked at the crying old man in front of him and felt pity. He noticed that the old man's shoes were worn out and covered with mud, and he did not look like a liar.
So, he decisively said to Xie An behind him: "Xie An, you stay here to help. Take the old man to a nearby clinic for treatment first, and then send him back home after his condition stabilizes."
Xie An said: "What about you, sir?"
Su Yu said, "It's okay, I'll make my own arrangements," and thought to himself that at worst he could just rent a horse later.
After all, his original body could ride a horse, but he had never tried this experience. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little excited.
Afterwards, Su Yu found a car dealership, rented a snow-white horse, and galloped towards Menghu Mountain. Since Su Yu had never ridden a horse in modern society, this could be regarded as his first horseback riding experience in his life.
At first, Su Yu was still a little uncomfortable with the ride. He could only hold the reins carefully, letting the horse walk slowly and feeling the horse's rhythm and strength. But when they came to a sparsely populated area, Su Yu gradually began to speed up and let the white horse run.
As the speed increased, Su Yu felt an unprecedented stimulation and excitement. He seemed to have become one with the white horse, enjoying the feeling of galloping at lightning speed.
Looking at the trees on both sides quickly receding, he couldn't help but sigh: "So this is what it feels like to ride a horse. It's so interesting!"
However, at this moment, a figure like lightning suddenly flashed past his eyes, leaving a cloud of dust.
Su Yu looked closely and saw that it was a young woman in purple riding a black horse galloping past. The woman's figure was like a whirlwind and disappeared in the distance in an instant.
Looking at the figure of the purple-clothed woman walking away, Su Yu couldn't help but sigh, "How fast! In comparison, I'm just a slow snail." He secretly thought to himself that when his horsemanship got better, he would definitely gallop as freely as her.
The girl in purple was none other than General Bai's youngest daughter, Bai Yiling. Today, she unexpectedly discovered that her third brother's servant Tai'an had invited another doctor from outside. Upon questioning, she learned that her third brother's leg condition had further deteriorated.
The doctor said that he needed a hundred-year-old ginseng to save his life, and then remove the rotten flesh, so that there would be a glimmer of hope for survival. She said without hesitation that she would go and get it, since her family had no shortage of these things anyway.
However, when she called the housekeeper, she was told that the so-called century-old ginseng and precious medicinal herbs had all been given away by her fourth brother Bai Mufan.
Without asking, she could guess who these treasures were given to. She originally planned to find her fourth brother and ask him to get them back, but based on her fourth brother's usual style of doing things, he would definitely consider his own face and would not easily go to ask for them.
So, after she found out that Chen Manli was racing horses in the suburbs today, she immediately rode her horse and galloped over. She was determined to get the ginseng back today no matter what.
When Bai Yiling arrived at the racecourse, she began to look for Chen Manli. Coincidentally, Chen Manli got off the horse at this moment. In the end, Murong Xi from the Ministry of War won the race, and the eldest princess rewarded her with the high-quality jade pendant she had prepared in advance.
Chen Manli was feeling very angry and walked to the side in a bad mood, preparing to go to the changing tent to change clothes.
The maid Bihe hurriedly followed behind him.
At this moment, Bai Yiling walked straight up to her, blocking her way, and said with a hint of sincerity on her face: "Miss Chen, I have a favor to ask of you."
Chen Manli took a closer look and saw that it was Bai Yiling, the fifth daughter of General Bai's family. She immediately put away her displeasure and said with a smile, "Yiling, what's wrong? We are good sisters, there's no need to be so polite."
Bai Yiling answered seriously, "My fourth brother sent you our family's century-old ginseng, but my third brother's leg disease has relapsed and he urgently needs the ginseng as a medicine inducer. So, I beg Miss Chen San to return the ginseng to us."
Hearing what General Bai's daughter said, Bihe's heart trembled. The hundred-year-old ginseng had long been exchanged for silver by her young lady, so how could she return it?
Hearing this, Chen Manli's heart skipped a beat and her face turned pale. Ginseng? She had secretly sold that ginseng a long time ago. Where could she find it now?
So, she put on a pitiful and aggrieved look and said innocently, "Sister Yiling, maybe you remembered it wrongly? I really have never seen any ginseng."
Bai Yiling became anxious upon hearing this. This Third Miss Chen didn't want to return it. She was immediately enraged and shouted, "It's obvious that you accepted it! How dare you deny it! That was a gift from the Emperor to my father!"
When Chen Manli heard that the hundred-year-old ginseng was a gift from the emperor, she could not admit it even more, so she said aggrievedly: "I didn't take any ginseng."
Bai Yiling excitedly grabbed Chen Manli's arm and said, "Chen Manli, don't think I don't know what you are thinking. You just don't want to give it back to me."
While the two were pulling each other, Chen Manli saw a young man slowly walking up behind Bai Yiling. It turned out to be the prince Zhou Yao.
An idea came to her mind. Her eyes were slightly red and she choked up and said, "Yiling, I know you have never liked me, but you really wronged me." After saying that, she put on a tearful and aggrieved look.
Bai Yiling was trembling with energy. This bitch was using the same trick again.
She raised her hand to slap Chen Manli and cursed angrily, "You..." However, her arm was pulled away by someone.
Bai Yiling, who had practiced martial arts for many years, reacted instinctively and immediately fought back, engaging in a fierce fight with the intruder. During the fight, she discovered that the intruder was a young man.
The two fought back and forth, neither of them giving in. Bai Yiling had been learning martial arts from her father since she was a child, and her martial arts skills were not inferior to those of ordinary men. For a while, the fight was difficult to determine, and the two fought from one side to the other, and the dust was flying everywhere.
Prince Zhou Yao, who was concentrating on dealing with the punches and kicks from the woman opposite, didn't notice that the purse on his waist had been hooked and torn off by a branch nearby. Perhaps the contents of the purse were too light, and as the wind blew, the purse flew farther and farther away.
