Abner's little plan failed. Li Fuguang didn't ride in the carriage for so long just to watch a man ride a horse.
Even now, she wants to learn to ride a horse!
Seeing Miss Maya getting closer and closer, even taking the maid across the fence of the horse farm, Abner had to tighten the reins and stop the horse.
"Adjutant Abner! Are you free? Teach us how to ride a horse!"
Li Fuguang ran towards the white horse in small steps with excitement on his face, accompanied by the extremely shy Anna.
Black lines appeared on Abner's face. If he said he had no time, would it be too late?
It was obviously too late, Miss Maya ran to the racecourse regardless of her image, and looked at herself with big innocent eyes, full of expectation...
cough!
Look carefully, Miss Maya looks... pretty good-looking.
Her personality is not as naughty as those slaves said. It is a good thing for girls to be more lively.
However, for such a cheerful master, why is her personal maid so cowardly? He kept his head down, not daring to look at him.
Abner jumped off the horse and walked back to the stable holding the reins. There was an imperceptible blush on his face.
Li Fuguang and Anna followed behind, whispering something only girls would understand.
"Here we are, Miss Maya, you are a beginner, it is best to start with a gentler horse."
Abner stretched out his hand and pointed, and Li Fuguang followed his gaze——
It was a horse that looked very docile and lifeless.
Li Fuguang frowned. She knew that beginners shouldn't choose horses that are too strong, but there were more than just docile horses in the racecourse!
Why do you want this horse that seems to have bald spots and uneven coat color?
This is what Li Fuguang thought, and she also asked.
Abner's face instantly darkened, and the trace of goodwill toward Maya that had just risen in his heart also disappeared.
Every horse in the stable is his companion, and to insult his horse is to insult him.
But this was Miss Maya, and he could only hold back his anger and said stiffly: "Every horse has its value. They are our partners. There is no distinction between good and ugly, high and low. Moreover, he is the most beautiful horse among all the horses." Meek, very suitable for you indeed!”
Li Fuguang naturally heard the anger and strangeness in Abner's tone.
If she was just complaining and didn't really want to change horses, then she has to change now!
Li Fuguang turned his head and looked directly at Abner,
"Adjutant Abner, I quite understand your point of view. Really, I also agree that they are all our partners."
"Then why did you-"
Li Fuguang stretched out his hand to stop Abner's next words,
"I haven't finished speaking yet, please don't interrupt me. I agree with your point of view, but that doesn't mean you can make choices for me at will. There are so many horses in the stable, is this one the only one that is docile?
As a pampered earl's daughter, I like horses with brighter coats. Is there any problem?
Or are all the horses in our racecourse, except for that one, so strong that they will trample me to death as soon as I get close? "
Abner was speechless. He wanted to refute, but strangely could not find a point to refute.
He did have selfish motives. The horse he pointed out to Miss Maya was the most docile, but in fact it was too old and could no longer run.
He didn't want to spend too much time with Maya, so he gave her the horse to get her to give up her passion for learning to ride a horse.
Li Fuguang knew by looking at Abner's face that he must have selfish motives and didn't really want to teach him.
She actually didn't want to learn that much, she just wanted to find a chance to talk to Abner. After all, he was her brother's adjutant, so she should be able to get a lot of information from him.
But looking at the commotion now, I'm afraid it won't end well.
"Forget it, no more riding, Anna, let's go."
Li Fuguang lost interest, turned around and greeted Anna to leave.
Anna stood still and did not follow.
Li Fuguang took two steps before realizing that Anna hadn't moved. She turned back in confusion. Anna was standing half a meter away from Abner, looking sideways at Abner.
Isn't it? Is the personal maid a love brain?
Li Fuguang had no choice but to walk back again, pulling Anna to leave. She still relied on Anna to guide her, so how could she stay here.
"Don't go! Miss Maya! It's my fault, you can choose again! I will teach you seriously this time!"
Abner seemed to have finally thought about it. His chivalry made him spurn his dark thoughts just now. He must apologize to Miss Maya!
Li Fuguang raised his eyebrows, let go of Anna's hand, and put his hands on his hips.
"Okay, then you can lead the way, I want a white horse too!"
Abner was still uneasy, fearing that Miss Maya would not accept his apology.
But he didn't expect Miss Maya to have such a good temper. He was really too prejudiced before. Miss Maya is obviously a sensible and kind-hearted person!
Abner led Li Fuguang to the deeper stables to select horses.
Anna, who had been left on the spot the whole time, finally raised her head. Her expression was no longer pure and shy, but instead had a hint of gloom and jealousy.
She murmured to herself,
"Why didn't Lord Abner recognize me? Didn't he remember that I gave him a handkerchief? By accepting my handkerchief, he agreed to spend his life with me!
And Miss Maya, she obviously treated Lord Abner so excessively, yet Lord Abner actually forgave her! Is it just because she is the Earl’s daughter..."
The more Anna thought about it, the more extreme she became. She stared at the two people leaving, but what she thought about was the scene of Miss Maya snatching away her beloved man and showing off her power in front of her.
Absolutely not! This must not be allowed to happen!
As long as...as long as Miss Maya is gone forever, Master Abner will be mine alone, right?
Hey Hey Hey…
Anna slowly pulled out the dagger tucked into the waist of her skirt. This was the dagger Lord Abner had used before, and she picked it up secretly.
As long as I kill Miss Maya with this, Lord Abner will be mine!
Li Fuguang, who "reconciled" and "had a very happy conversation" with Abner, didn't notice the threat from behind at all, until she felt a chill behind her and slowly turned her head...
Something penetrated her chest...
it hurts!
At the last second when he lost consciousness, Li Fuguang saw Anna who looked like a madman, and Abner who looked anxious.
I am dead? !
How is it possible, how is it possible, to die in a place like this? !
…
"ah!"
Li Fuguang woke up with a start and sat up from the bed.
She raised her hand to hold her sweaty forehead, fear still running through her whole heart.
The death scene just now was so realistic!
Fortunately it was fake, she was dreaming!
Li Fuguang calmed down and looked around.
This...isn't this her bedroom? !
The sculpture in the corner, the oil painting on the wall, the silk nightgown on my body...
This, this, what on earth is going on? !
While Li Fuguang was still sitting on the bed, feeling uneasy, there was a knock on the door.
A familiar female voice shouted outside the door:
"Miss Maya, it's time to wake up. It's time to wash up!"
This is Anna's voice! ! !
