Chapter 295: How Should We Beat Him Up?
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor. Henyee Translations
Xiaoxiao did not have the personality of being nice when others were cold. She simply ignored her and only played with others.
The Shen Family was prosperous and had a lot of sons and daughters. Shen Tianci had five cousins, and their younger siblings were still popping out from time to time. In their own words, the children could form a big table during the holidays. They might even have to add another table in two years.
A group of brats were causing trouble at home. Even their biological parents despised them. Hence, when they heard that they were going out to play, they immediately prepared carriages and snacks for the servants and chased them out of the residence in minutes.
The young masters and ladies did not think that they were annoying and rushed out like a swarm of bees.
Today, everyone was going to the horse ranch to play. Most of the young masters and ladies in the Imperial Capital had to learn horsemanship. If anyone were to be afraid of horses, they would be laughed at.
In the words of County Magistrate Shen’s father, Premier Shen, as long as they finished their homework, they wouldn’t be punished even if they were naughty. Premier Shen meant what he said. Therefore, although the Shen Family had many naughty children, none of them fell behind in their skills. They started to play on their own foals not long after they arrived at the racecourse.
Xiaoxiao thought that they would forget about her after they had fun. She did not expect them to come back in twos and threes after running two rounds.
One said that they wanted to teach her how to ride a horse, and the other said that they wanted to bring her to choose a horse. The children’s enthusiasm was too high, and Xiaoxiao could not find a chance to reject them. She was dragged to the horse shed in a daze.
There were tall and mighty horses here, as well as docile and obedient foals.
The children swarmed Xiaoxiao and went to see the foals. They even gave her ideas.
One said the red one looked good, while the other said that the brown one ran fast. However, Xiaoxiao’s gaze turned to the side.
A group of ranch workers was rushing over. “She’s going to give birth. This mare is going to give birth!”
The children were naturally curious and followed after hearing that.
The ranchers recognized that these were the young masters and young ladies of Premier Shen’s family and did not dare to stop them. They could only make way for them and carefully protect them to prevent them from being injured. “Ancestors, don’t go forward again. The mare has a bad temper when she s pregnant and giving birth. Be careful that it goes crazy and kicks people!” The young masters and young ladies of the Shen Family really did not go forward.
However, the Shen Family was not the only one having the horses in this horse farm. When the other masters heard the commotion, they also swarmed over. They were not as obedient as the Shen Family’s children and only cared about moving forward. In this chaos, Xiaoxiao felt herself being pushed. She immediately fell out of the crowd and fell in front of the mare.
Their eyes met. When Xiaoxiao saw the mare’s actions, she also heard the exclamation behind her. “Not good, it’s going to raise its hooves!”
At the critical moment, Xiaoxiao naturally had to use her space control ability.
The mare was stuck before she could raise her head. Xiaoxiao also saw a light yellow figure suddenly pounce on her and roll a few times with her until she was far away from the danger range.
“Are you stupid? Don’t you know how to run?”
Little Miss Gu placed her hands on her hips in exasperation. Just as she finished scolding Xiaoxiao, she exclaimed and realized that she had twisted her ankle.
This girl paid a lot of attention to her image. Every time she appeared, she would wear exquisite clothes. However, now that she was covered in dust and tears, Xiaoxiao actually found her even cuter.
She walked over and pinched Little Miss Gu’s ankle. “Thankyou for saving me, but don’t you hate me?”
Little Miss Gu pouted and held back her tears. “I hate you. Who asked Brother Tianci to specially write a letter to tell us to take care of you? He didn’t even get anyone to take care of me!”
“He even praised your snacks for being delicious. In the past, he said that my snacks were the best in the world!”
Xiaoxiao blinked and waited for her to continue. She said, “But Brother Tianci already said that we have to take care of you. How am I going to answer to him if I don’t take good care of you?”
{What an interesting young lady,} Xiaoxiao thought. Then, she bent her hand and heard Little Miss Gu suddenly scream. She almost wanted to reach out and hit Xiaoxiao. “How can you repay kindness with enmity… Sigh, it doesn’t hurt anymore?”
Xiaoxiao stood up with a smile on her face and looked at the crowd with frost
in her eyes.
What happened just now was not an accident. Someone deliberately pushed her.
[Baby, which ingredient wanted to harm me just now?]
She called that person an ‘ingredient’. It was obvious that she was quite angry. The space and its Master share a common enemy: [Master, Master, it’s that ugly boy in blue with pockmarks on her face!]
Just as Xiaoxiao’s gaze landed on that person, she saw that Little Miss Gu had already stridden forward and kicked him out of the crowd. From her stance, Little Miss Gu couldn’t kick him so skillfully without dozens of experiences.
What was even more amazing was that the young masters and young ladies of the Shen Family did not stop her. They all surrounded her.
“Sister Gu, how should we beat him up?”
Xiaoxiao:… Heh, these children are a little interesting.
Little Miss Gu put her hands on her hips. The gentle and virtuous act she had put on for the past few days was all ruined. She was angry… and angry.
“It’s this bastard who pushed Ning Xiaoxiao!
What! He dared to push their little friend? Did he know how delicious Ning Xiaoxiao’s snacks were?
Fists rained down and the pockmarked guy was knocked unconscious. His servant wanted to help, but the Shen Family’s attendants stood in a circle with their arms crossed, clearly not letting anyone come over.
At this moment, someone shouted, “It’s born!”
There were only 11 seconds of space control. As soon as these 11 seconds passed, the foal in the mare’s stomach couldn’t take it anymore and slid out of the mother’s body.
The onlookers let out all kinds of exclamations and were very surprised to see the foal stagger to trot.
Seeing that the foal could already run, the staff of the ranch took it away forcefully without caring that the mare was snorting. Someone explained to Xiaoxiao, “The ranch will filter out strong ponies to be fed well. Those who are weak will be sold at a low price or simply killed.”
Taking advantage of this moment, the freckled man’s servants hurriedly squeezed in and carried their unconscious master away.
Xiaoxiao did not have to do anything the entire time. Although she did not participate, she was quite energetic. However, she was a little worried. “Will the family punish you if you do this?”
The young men and women puffed out their chests. “Grandfather said that as long as we do our job properly and don’t lie or bully others, he won’t beat us up.”
The Shen Family’s discipline style was really interesting.
This group of little ancestors saw the horse, beat someone up, and chattered about wanting to compete. Xiaoxiao didn’t know how to ride a horse, so she planned to cheer them on. After taking a few steps, she heard the space say: [Master, there’s another one in the horse’s stomach, but the situation doesn’t seem too good.]
She stopped in her tracks, touched her waist, and turned to them. “I think I dropped my things. Please wait for me. I’ll be back soon.” They were not far from the horse shed. Even if they did not follow her, they could see her. Moreover, they had just taught the troublemaker a lesson. The Shen Family was very relieved and continued to discuss the bet.
Xiaoxiao walked all the way back to the stable and indeed saw a dying pony lying beside the mare who had collapsed to the ground.
The mare was nudging the foal, trying to help it stand up.
However, perhaps because it had stayed in the mother’s body for too long or had suffered some other injuries, the foal did not move.
Recalling that Miss Shen had told her that the weak foal might be killed directly, Xiaoxiao couldn’t bear it.
She asked the space: [Is there any way to save it?]
