Becoming a literary master starting from the story of Minglan

Chapter 126 Qi Heng Takes the Stage
"Yan Hong, I'm not trying to take it from you!"

"only……"

Although Yu Yanran deeply resented her stepmother, who was also Yu Yanhong's biological mother, she was gentle and kind, and as the eldest sister, she was much more tolerant of her two younger siblings. Although she didn't like them, she didn't hate them.

Seeing that her younger sister had misunderstood her, Yanran immediately spoke up in a "weak" manner, trying to explain, "It's just that the hairpin is my mother's keepsake, and I want to get it back..."

"okay!"

Yu Yanhong had no patience to listen to her sister's nonsense. She came here simply to declare war on Yanran because she saw her wanting to go on stage.

"Humph!"

"He always acts like he's indifferent to worldly affairs in front of his grandparents, as if he's so great, but isn't he just like me now?"

"Competitive and pleasure-seeking?"

Recalling her grandfather's evaluation of her, Yu Yanhong couldn't help but feel secretly angry. At the same time, she glanced at Yanran with disdain, her contempt for her was blatantly displayed in front of everyone!

"Since you want to compete with me, then let's compete!"

"Let's see who's really good at it in the polo match later!"

Yu Yanhong directly issued a challenge: "I want to see where you get the courage to compete with me?"

"Bright red!"

"I'm not……"

"drive!"

Yu Yanhong completely ignored Yanran's explanation, immediately rode back to her position, and prepared for the next round of the competition.

"This……"

Seeing the two sisters so fiercely competitive, Minglan and the others were at a loss for words. After all, putting everything else aside, just judging from the way the two rode their horses, Yanran's chances of winning were extremely low.

"Minglan, this..."

At this moment, Sheng Changfeng finally understood the terrible situation in Grand Secretary Yu's family, so his expression couldn't help but look a little unpleasant. After all, he, Sheng Changfeng, had been dragged into this struggle between legitimate and illegitimate children by Minglan for no reason.

Whether you win or lose, you'll end up pleasing neither side!

Of course, given the magnanimity of Grand Secretary Yu and Lord Yu, they would not hold a grudge against Sheng Changfeng. However, in any case, he would definitely not leave a good impression on them.

"Third brother!"

Minglan didn't say anything, but gestured for him to be quiet with her eyes. After all, at this point, he could only move forward.

"Dang~"

The polo field official struck the gong again and announced loudly, "Everyone, prepare yourselves, begin!"

"boom!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the eight teams charged down the mountain and rode their horses straight to the center of the field.

There are eight sets of goals, each corresponding to a score. A point is awarded for each goal that is shot into the goal representing a player's team. The match is divided into two sessions, each lasting 25 minutes. If the scores are tied at the end, there will be an extra time.

In the field.

"Bro, hit the ball over here!"

Yu Yanhong wielded her cue stick, skillfully maneuvering her horse, moving excitedly and nimbly across the field, shooting in various conventional yet highly effective ways.

Although only five or six out of ten shots hit the target, Yu Hongyuan's assists created many opportunities, unlike Sheng Changfeng, who tirelessly chased the ball around the field but never managed to even touch it once.

……

"Boom!"

"bingo!"

"Brother, I won again!"

Just before the end of the first half, Yu Yanhong scored again, adding another point to her tally.

While feeling smug, Yu Yanhong couldn't help but glance at Yu Yanran. She saw that the first half was almost over, and they still only had one point, looking extremely pitiful.

"Huh? This...this...what should we do?"

At this moment, Yanran also looked back at the scores of the eight teams in the field. Seeing the scores, she was immediately anxious and angry, not knowing what to do!

"Dang~"

Another gong sounded, and the first half ended! "The Yellow Team is in the lead with six points!"

With an enthusiastic voice, Si Zheng immediately announced the teams with the highest scores, and the Yellow Team was the team of Yu Yanhong and her brother.

"Woooo..."

After all the teams had returned to their rest areas in an orderly fashion, Yanran immediately dismounted, hugged Minglan, and burst into tears, crying, "Ming...lan, I...I..."

“My…my mother’s hairpin…I…I…”

Yanran spoke incoherently, as if she had completely lost faith: "Minglan, I...I don't want it anymore..."

"We don't want this hairpin anymore..."

Disheartened and devastated.

"Sister Yanran..." Seeing Yanran's sad appearance, Minglan felt even more distressed. For some reason, when she saw Yanran missing her deceased mother, Minglan couldn't help but put herself in her shoes.

It seemed that it was not Grand Secretary Yu's granddaughter Yu Yanran who wanted the hairpin, but Sheng Minglan herself!
"Hmph! I'm not fighting anymore!"

Not only Yu Yanran, but Sheng Changfeng also looked furious: "We're doomed to lose this match!"

"You'd better not go on stage and embarrass yourself!"

Sheng Changfeng threw down his cue stick, turned around angrily, and seemed to be leaving.

"Third brother..."

Seeing this, Minglan was naturally unwilling to give up. Moreover, although Yanran said she didn't want it anymore, you could tell from the way she turned her head to follow Sheng Changfeng's gaze that she was actually unwilling to give up.

"Minglan, let's...let it go!"

Seeing that Sheng Changfeng ignored Minglan's cries and left without looking back, Yanran finally despaired!
"I really don't want it anymore!"

"no!"

At this moment, Minglan, contrary to her usual self, angrily said, "Sister Yanran, the second half—"

"let me try!"

"You go?"

Yanran was stunned: "Minglan, you..."

"Sister Yanran, don't worry, I will definitely get this hairpin back for you!"

Minglan, unlike her usual amiable self, revealed a rare resolute expression!

"Xiao Tao, Dan Ju, bring me my shoulder straps. I'll play the second half!"

"Yes!"

Xiao Tao Danju, who was following Minglan, immediately ran back to her own carriage, took out the armbands that had been prepared in advance, brought them back, and helped Minglan put them on.

"But, young lady!"

When Minglan was ready, Danju suddenly asked, "Now that the Third Young Master is unwilling to go on stage, who should you ask to accompany you?"

"This……"

A sudden remark finally brought the question to the attention of Minglan and Yanran.

"I come!"

Just as the girls realized the problem and became extremely panicked, the voice of Young Master Qi Heng suddenly appeared in Minglan's ears.

"Young Master?"

Xiao Tao and Dan Ju both looked at Qi Heng, who was smiling, in surprise.

"Little father-in-law!"

Yanran and Minglan also looked at Qi Heng with puzzlement, wondering what he meant by his words.

Yanran's eyes seemed to light up, and she asked hopefully, "Young Master, what's wrong?"

"Hehe, I mean—"

Qi Heng stepped forward, turned to look at Minglan, and answered Yanran's question: "I will accompany Sixth Sister in this match!"
