Do Not Offend the Reborn Wicked Wife-Chapter 138: Three Falls in a Day

Whose brain has a pit returning?

Although Luo Xiaoxiao’s horse was one size smaller than the horse Li Qingmu was riding, it didn’t affect his riding. The couple, one in front and one behind, quickly entered the camp.

"Who goes there?"

A soldier stepped forward to intercept them, and Long Yue said, "I am Pang Longyue. I want to see Cao Yin, he is my grandfather!"

The soldier was stunned. General Cao’s granddaughter? How come he didn’t remember General Cao having a granddaughter? But seeing her so confidently assert, she didn’t seem to be lying, so should he let her in?

"Cough... you can go report it first!"

Li Qingmu saw the little soldier was very torn and kindly reminded him.

"Huh? Oh, right!"

It seemed like he was a new recruit; he dazedly responded and hurried in.

"Ya, Ya!"

Hoofbeats came from behind; Luo Xiaoxiao shared a ride with her cousin and came chasing. When she saw Li Qingmu still riding her beloved horse, she got so angry she started shivering.

"You bastard, how dare you ride my horse!"

"Horses are meant to be ridden, so why can’t it be ridden by you?"

Long Yue smiled mischievously, returning a line, just that the second half of it sounded so awkward?

Li Qingmu’s gaze darkened briefly and glanced at his young wife.

Long Yue felt unnatural under his gaze and glared back at him.

The couple exchanged affectionate glances, angering Luo Xiaoxiao immensely. Just as she was about to explode, Li Qingmu dismounted: "Here, it’s yours!"

"Hmph, it’s dirty!"

"Oh, then slay it, and we’ll roast horse meat later!"

"You..."

Long Yue wanted to laugh; her husband had a knack for making people angry without paying for it. Within a few words, he had Luo Xiaoxiao so angry her liver and gut ached.

At this time, the little soldier came back, huffing: "The two of you, General Cao agreed; follow me!"

"Alright, thank you!"

As they were about to leave, Luo Xiaoxiao called them: "Wait!"

The couple turned back.

Luo Xiaoxiao walked over, holding her waist sore from the fall, and looked Li Qingmu up and down.

This man looked travel-worn from the long journey; not only was his hair disheveled, but he also had some stubble on his face, and his clothes were quite tattered. Even though he had delicate features, he still looked like a beggar!

There was a hint of disdain in Luo Xiaoxiao’s eyes: "This horse is my exclusive mount. I never let anyone ride it before. How did you manage that?"

Exclusive? Sounds impressive!

Li Qingmu reached out and patted the horse’s back, smiling: "Because it doesn’t love you!"

"..."

At this moment, not only Luo Xiaoxiao but even Long Yue wanted to hit him. This man’s mouth was really... Hmm, strange, he wasn’t like this before, was he?

"You... you’re good. Don’t let me get my hands on you, or I’ll make sure you pay!"

Luo Xiaoxiao glanced at Cao Yin’s tent and gave Li Qingmu a provocative look. She knew General Cao’s temper; he surely wouldn’t like this kind of civil servant. Once General Cao kicked him out of the tent, she could deal with him as she pleased!

She took her horse and mounted it: "We’ll see!"

"Alright!"

Li Qingmu replied, making Luo Xiaoxiao so angry she almost spat blood. She glared hard at the man before turning her horse and leaving.

"Ride slowly; be careful not to fall!"

Long Yue cupped her small hand around her mouth and shouted, only making Luo Xiaoxiao whip Ma Biao harder, riding even faster.

Li Qingmu watched Luo Xiaoxiao’s silhouette fade away with a faint smile, and as he slowly turned around with Long Yue, suddenly, a scream came from behind.

"Ah—"

"Bang!"

"Xiaoxiao!"

"Cousin!"

Luo Xiaoxiao galloped wildly and ended up falling off the horse.

Falling from a galloping horse at best meant serious injury, at worst, death!

So soon, Xinan Camp was in chaos.

Long Yue took one last look in Luo Xiaoxiao’s direction and quickly left with her man to see her grandfather Cao Yin. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

"Li Qingmu, you were too ruthless!"

Along the way, Long Yue complained resentfully.

This guy was tampering with the horse saddle from the moment he mounted, using the side of a knife to wear down the belly strap as he rode. By the time he dismounted, only a bit was still connected. When Luo Xiaoxiao mounted and ran furiously, even the slightest tug would snap it, resulting in a tragic fall.

Poor girl fell three times a day; who knows if she’ll end up paralyzed?

Long Yue thought she should probably worry a bit.

Li Qingmu touched his nose awkwardly, saying, "Dear, if you didn’t provoke her, she wouldn’t have run so fast!"

If she really got half-dead, it’d be your fault, okay!

Long Yue gave him a knowing smile, and the two chuckled together knowingly.

This woman had been insulting and physically attacking Li Qingmu from the first meeting. Losing to him in their initial clash, refusing to give up, she tried again. It’s said reciprocation is a virtue, and if they didn’t return a little, it’d betray such a fine tradition!

A moment later, the couple entered Cao Yin’s tent.

"I didn’t expect your grandfather to be willing to see us!"

"Of course, he only has my mother as a daughter, so he will definitely see me!"

Long Yue’s mother, Cao Wanjun, was Cao Yin’s only daughter. As for Zhou Zhiqin’s mother, she was just a concubine from Cao Yin’s brother’s side, so Old Madam Cao didn’t care about her. Later, something provoked her, and she was sent to Qingtian County to fend for herself.

Cao Yin had missed his daughter over the years, but he didn’t have the face to reach out, so they remained estranged. Now that Long Yue came herself, how could he not see her?

The tent door was open. When Long Yue entered, she saw her grandfather sitting there. Upon seeing her, his expression froze, and he leaned forward as if to get up.

Long Yue wondered if he recognized her; she had only met him once, at a palace banquet ten years ago. Then, she was five, and her grandfather waved to her from afar.

She naively asked her mother, who that was?

Her mother didn’t speak, just led her away from that place.

Not until later, hearing the noble ladies around gossiping, did she learn that person was her grandfather, General Xiping, Cao Yin.

If at that time she had run over to hug him, perhaps everything would have been different!

Collecting her thoughts, Long Yue looked again and saw her grandfather’s body slightly trembling, his lips quivering with barely contained emotion!

"Grandfather..."

Long Yue softly called and took a few steps forward.

"Yue’er!" Cao Yin rose abruptly and rushed over to hug Long Yue tightly, "Girl, it’s you, really you?"

Long Yue’s appearance resembled Wanjun’s by seventy percent; Cao Yin wouldn’t mistake it. The moment he saw her, he knew this was his granddaughter from the Cao Family!

After the embrace between grandfather and granddaughter, Cao Yin calmed down, curiously observing Long Yue, feeling as if he was dreaming.

He heard some news from the Capital City, though not knowing the specifics, he was certain someone with Cao Family blood would never do such things!

"Yue’er, quickly tell grandpa, how come you are here in Xinan, huh? And, you... where is your mother?"

Cao Yin was a man with pride, who had been in a cold war with Cao Wanjun because she decided on her own to marry Pang Wenzheng, refusing contact. But a parent’s heart is always concerned!

Especially seeing Long Yue, Cao Yin’s heart finally softened, asking the most pressing question.

"My mother..." Long Yue’s eyes suddenly reddened, tears uncontrollably welling up, "My mother... she’s gone..."
