The group rode in the carriage for an hour before arriving at the horse farm on the outskirts of Beijing.
Jiang Chengxiao was already waiting outside the venue, looking extremely excited, but when he saw that there were several carriages arriving, he immediately frowned.
He had only invited his wife and his third brother's wife. Even if each of them had a carriage, there should have been only two. But now four carriages came, which clearly meant that there were other people, and more than one.
What's more, the number of followers and servants following him was obviously more than double.
He felt threatened in his heart, so he asked the steward to go and greet them, while he himself avoided them and wanted to see the situation first.
After Cen Ying and her group got off the car, they did not see Jiang Chengxiao. After they changed their clothes and came out, only the manager was there.
"Where are the two old men?" Cen Ying asked directly.
The steward couldn't help but feel nervous, but he didn't show it on his face. He just said respectfully: "The second master said he had something to do, so you guys can play first. The people who lead the horses are specially trained, all veterans, they won't--"
"Let him come over. I haven't seen him for the past few days. Today I finally got the chance. Let me, as his mother, take a look at him. What happened to him? Did he do something bad and is too embarrassed to see anyone?"
Before the manager could finish his words, he was interrupted by Cen Ying, whose tone was still unquestionable.
The steward didn't dare to say anything more. He could only bow and leave, and then hurried to pass on the message.
Several people had not mounted their horses yet, and seemed to be waiting for him.
Jiang Chengxiao did not leave. He hid in a lounge and saw this scene through the window. He was so anxious that he broke out in a sweat. When he heard the message from the manager, he knew he could not escape this and had to bite the bullet and come out.
"Mom, you are here too. Your son will lead the horse for you."
After greeting the women, he immediately took the initiative to lead the horse, looking completely filial.
Cen Ying did not make things difficult for him, but got on the horse directly. This scene was very loving and filial to his mother.
Xing Xiaoya's eyes were still following Jiang Chengxiao, but before she could take a few more glances, her arm was held by Jiang Jinyu.
"Sister Xing, let's go and ride horses!"
She had no choice but to follow him.
Jiang Chengxiao trotted the horse for half a circle, and only when he was sure that he was far away from the crowd could he not help but speak.
"Mother, what are you doing? I just wanted to take my wife and my third brother's wife out to relax, and Xing Xiaoya came along, so I just wanted to avoid her. Why did you ask me to come out by name? Isn't this a direct collision?"
Cen Ying glanced at him coldly, and Jiang Chengxiao immediately stood up straight and automatically became well-behaved.
"Didn't you just meet and greet Xing Xiaoya? Did something happen? I see that you are fine and still have the energy to settle accounts with me here." Cen Ying asked back.
Jiang Chengxiao, who had been unsure all along, seemed to suddenly realize what was happening and instantly calmed down when he heard this.
He realized it belatedly and said, "Yes, not only did I meet her, I also exchanged greetings face to face. There is nothing wrong with me right now, no messy thoughts in my mind, and my heart is not churning."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but raise his hand and put it on his chest. His heartbeat was very normal, not at all as violent and violent as before.
Before, when he couldn't let go of Xing Xiaoya, his heart seemed to be about to jump out of his chest. The "thump thump" sound was very scary and even a little deafening. But now it was very calm. Even if it was a little faster than usual, it was still out of worry. It was completely different from his previous restless state.
"Hehehe, really, I didn't feel anything at all!" He couldn't help but laugh foolishly.
"Go back and look at her and verify it again." Seeing that he really didn't have any particularly big reaction, Cen Ying couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
In fact, there was also an element of gambling in her calling Jiang Chengxiao out.
After all, Xing Xiaoya is already in the mansion. No matter how much the Jiang family men try to avoid her, they will meet one day. Moreover, as the system said, escape is useless. This world will not allow it. When necessary, it will control everyone and push the plot forward.
In short, avoiding is the most useless thing, you must face the challenge head-on.
Fortunately, the results seem to be not bad.
Jiang Chengxiao did not hesitate. He was not the type to drag his feet. He turned around and looked straight in the direction of Xing Xiaoya.
Xing Xiaoya was wearing a green silk dress today. As she was going to ride a horse, she took off her hairpins and ornaments. She only used a jade hairpin to hold her hair up in a bun, which made her look extremely fresh and lovely.
If it were before, when he looked at her, he would definitely feel that this woman should only exist in heaven, with her own holy light, an existence that should not be desecrated but that made him unable to stop.
But when he looked at her again, that kind of holy light was gone. She just looked prettier than other women. The most important thing was that his body's reaction was not that strong. He was no longer in the impatient state as before.
Because the men in the Jiang family avoided her, Xing Xiaoya was always worried and felt that things were out of control.
Obviously, she had met Mr. Jiang a few times before, and Mr. Jiang not only saved her like a hero, but also
Jiang Chengxiao showed up today, which was rare. Naturally, she couldn't help but observe quietly, wanting to find out what was going on.
When she looked up again, Jiang Chengxiao happened to turn his head and looked at her. The two of them looked at each other, and Xing Xiaoya subconsciously raised the corners of her lips and smiled.
Jiang Chengxiao widened his eyes and subconsciously wanted to turn his head away, but then he realized that he was not as crazy as before. He immediately forced himself to stay where he was and looked back straight, as if to show his indomitable spirit.
When Xing Xiaoya met his serious gaze, she felt her cheeks burning and immediately lowered her head, looking completely shy and timid.
Jiang Chengxiao was not moved at all when he saw her like this, and even shuddered.
"Mom, I'm really not afraid anymore, but please don't remind me to look over there, lest Miss Xing misunderstands and causes any embarrassing situations."
Seeing his performance, Cen Ying showed a bit of joy on her face. She actually got rid of Xing Xiaoya's magic.
She couldn't help but mutter to herself: "I can really break free. The artifact said before that the world revolves around Xing Xiaoya. She is the charming heroine, and all the men in the Jiang family revolve around her. Now it seems that this statement is not impossible to break..."
Jiang Chengxiao looked back and saw that Cen Ying had a look of joy on her face. She was not looking at him when she said this, but was immersed in a state of ecstasy.
He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. After the incident with Xing Xiaoya, the whole family was very panicked, but this stepmother remained calm and kept trying to find solutions. She seemed as steady as a rock, even more calm than the Marquis.
But now seeing her expression, what is there to not understand? It’s not that she is not panicking, she has been suppressing her emotions deep in her heart. Now that she sees hope, she finally can’t help herself and can no longer control the pent-up emotions.
"Mom, what the artifact says may not be entirely true. Given the current situation, we can't just believe it. I'm afraid it hasn't realized that I'm no longer controlled by Xing Xiaoya." Jiang Chengxiao couldn't help but remind her.
