My Lord, your wife is spreading rumors about you again.

Chapter 44 Abandoned Child or Wife
Mingli could see that Wei was trying to show her goodwill because she had rescued Mingqi safely last night.

She couldn't slap someone who was so eager to help her. After all, if she wanted to kill Ming Zhongyuan in the future, she would have to deal with the mother and son of the Wei family.

Mingli thought for a moment, and finally stretched out his hand: "Well, thank you, brother."

Just when Mingli was about to touch the artifact, a familiar voice came from not far away, interrupting her action.

"Second Miss Ming is here? Today, my Zhenbei Marquis Mansion is the host, so I should be the one to welcome the guests."

Everyone present was speechless. When other women got off the car just now, you didn't show up.

Today, Zhang Zhi was wearing a dark robe with narrow sleeves and a pattern of auspicious clouds. His black hair was tied up with a gilded crown. The cuffs were embroidered with auspicious unicorn patterns. He had a vermilion and white jade belt tied around his waist, a green jade pendant hanging from his waist, and was waving a black and gold folding fan in his hand.

He looks like a dandy young man from a wealthy family.

He walked straight forward, not giving her a chance to refuse. He grabbed Mingli's hand and pulled her down, saying with a smile, "Second Miss Ming, we meet again."

On the other side, Meng, who was sitting on the upper seat, suddenly widened her eyes. Zhang Zhi? That was Zhang Zhi? No wonder the second girl seemed like a different person now. It turned out that she was hooking up with the son of Zhenbei Marquis. Not only did she become more confident, but she also spoke more domineeringly.

Mingli looked at Zhang Zhi strangely, "Tongtong said you wouldn't come today."

"I thought that if I didn't come, you would definitely regret it. After thinking it over, I must come this time." Zhang Zhi said with a smile.

Mingli: “.”

In order to ease Mingqi's embarrassment, Jiang Tong reluctantly took his arm and jumped off the carriage, and walked to the side of the two of them, "Let's go, I saw Zang Ying trying out the horse over there."

Wei looked at Mingli and Zhang Zhi thoughtfully. She felt that her sudden decision to ask Mingli for help last night was a blessing from her ancestors in heaven!
The nobles from each family were all shrewd people, and the topic of discussion had long shifted from the victory or defeat of Mingli and Zang Ying to the relationship between Mingli and Zhang Zhi.

"Second girl."

The three of them turned around and saw Xi Mo walking over wearing the robe he wore at Jucai Building last night. He bowed and said, "Greetings to Miss Ming, Miss Jiang, and Master Zhang."

Zhang Zhi recognized Xi Mo's identity at a glance. He had investigated the Mo family in detail and could even recognize a dog that had been raised in the Mo family.

Xi Mo still had half of his mask on. He said, "I wish Miss Ming II to shoot an arrow through the target with one hundred steps and win the championship."

Mingli nodded: "Thank you, Master Xi."

After that, Xi Mo did not stay for long and walked away. Zhang Zhi raised his chin towards Xi Mo's back and deliberately asked, "Who is that?"

"Xi Mo." Mingli thought for a moment and added, "Mo Zhao's illegitimate son."

Seeing that she didn't say anything more, Zhang Zhi didn't ask any more questions.

"Zhang Zhi." Mingli suddenly called him.

Zhang Zhi tilted his head and smiled: "What's wrong?"

Mingli stared into his eyes and asked him seriously, "Will you break our alliance one day and abandon me?"

"It's impossible to abandon a child." Zhang Zhi suddenly smiled, and his tone became frivolous: "But I can abandon my wife."

Mingli: “.”

This person is really weird. Their marriage is just a part of the covenant. Is it necessary to talk about it day and night?
Jiang Tong's scalp went numb when she heard this. She shouldn't be here now. She should go underground! A quarter of an hour later, the gongs and drums struck three times, and the competition was about to officially begin.

Zang Ying was surrounded by a group of servants and maids serving him, feeding the horses, wiping their sweat, massaging them, and testing their bows.

Zang Ying was taking deep breaths, her ears ringing with her father's warning to her this morning, "If you lose to that bastard from the Ming family today, you won't have to be called Zang anymore!"

Even if she has to risk her life today, she will win this game.

On the other hand, Mingli was in a depressed mood. She pushed Zhang Zhi, Jiang Tong, Mingqi and Wei to go back and sit down, and rejected Shancha and Liuliu's requests to cheer her up.

She went to the stable alone, led Kuang Biao out, and fed it a bag of concentrated feed. Then she took the bow and arrow, held it in her arms, and leaned aside to close her eyes and rest.

"Boom-"

After the sound of a gong, Mingli immediately opened his eyes. His eyes were clear and bright, without any trace of sleepiness.

She put the bow and arrow on her back, stepped on the stirrups, and neighed with her belly pressed, and the dust was raised. Then she saw a dashing figure galloping away, and the movement was so sharp and swift that it was simply amazing.

Zang Ying had just sat on the horse's back when her eyes widened. Didn't she say she couldn't ride a horse? Who could be so good after ten days of practice?
Mingli is lying again!

She whipped the horse and vented all her anger on it. The horse felt so much pain that it immediately spread its hooves and ran forward.

The horse's back was bumpy, but Mingli still sat firmly. After running in day and night and falling off hard dozens of times, Mingli and Kuangbiao had already developed an unusual tacit understanding. Kuangbiao knew how to run so that Mingli could sit firmly, and Mingli also knew how to use force to make Kuangbiao lose some weight.

The girl drew a feathered arrow from the quiver, drew the bow, drew the bow to its full draw, nailed it, shot, and hit the target!

She dances with the wind, her color is bright and her shape is like a phoenix.

"Good! Well done, second girl! Come on, come on! Place your bets!"

Ji Yu got another gong and drum from somewhere. He wore the clothes he wore to the flower-viewing banquet today. He felt that this dress, combined with Mingli, could bring him different good luck.

At this time, Zang Ying caught up with Mingli, and she didn't draw her bow to shoot arrows, but kept whipping the horse whip to force the horse to hit Kuangbiao. Kuangbiao was hit hard, and Mingli was still holding the bow and arrow in her hand. If she hadn't pulled the reins, she would probably fall off.

None of them were wearing protective gear, and the horses were galloping, so falling down like that would be enough to cost them half their lives.

Zang Ying laughed when he saw this: "Mingli! How come you can't even sit still?"

Jiang Tong saw it all clearly from the audience. She slammed the table angrily and pointed at Madam Zang and cursed: "Madam Zang, what does your daughter mean? We should compete in horse riding and archery, but what's the point of bumping into horses? Pah! What a despicable trick!"

"Miss Jiang, please be careful with your words." Madam Zang said innocently, "If there is any violation, then the judge will call a halt. Now that the judge has not said anything, there is no violation. Madam Jiang, is that right?"

Madam Jiang was also so angry that her face turned red. She pulled Jiang Tong down and whispered, "We all overlooked that the judge of today's archery competition is from the Zang family."

At this time, a middle-aged man's voice came, "Madam is right. Even the judge hasn't said a word. What kind of justice is this, Miss Jiang?"

The person who came was actually Zang Bei, the commander of the City Gate Department.

This was originally a banquet for girls, so it would be fine if young unmarried men came, but now that the head of the family has come in person, I'm afraid he came deliberately just to show off his courtesy.
