“Old General was previously worried about Miss’s marriage. Now that Miss is so outstanding, I’m sure all the nobles in Jiang Du City would be fighting to be your husband!” Su Wei chuckled behind Su Qingzhi.
Su Qingzhi’s face darkened, his voice stern. “Nonsense! Do they think they can marry my granddaughter just because they want to?”
He couldn’t bear to see Su Yingxue married off.
Let her stay for two more years.
“Grandfather, 1 can’t bear to get married! I want to always be with you!”
Su Yingxue held onto Su Qingzhi’s arm passionately. To her, this was a reunion with her grandfather who had been brought back from the dead. She had been in a trance for a lifetime before finally obtaining this happiness, so she cherished it dearly.
Su Qingzhi led her out. There weren’t many people on the streets. He and Su Wei each had a mount. Su Wei even led a horse. “Miss, this is a wild horse that the Old General tamed on the road. It has a strong temperament, but it’s very vigorous and can travel thousands of miles. The Old General originally planned to give it to you, but it hasn’t been trained yet. You can ride my horse first. 1 will lead it back to the Marquis’s Manor.”
Su Yingxue approached the black horse and examined it closely. Its limbs were exceptionally sturdy, its coat pure black and shiny, with only a white patch on its head. Under the moonlight, it stood out.
“Is she Black Narcissus?”
Su Yingxue’s eyes lit up. In her previous life, her grandfather had brought back such a horse and wanted to give it to her, but she had fallen off it once and refused to take it.
Su Qingzhi said it was a rare horse and asked Su Yingxue to try taming it again.
However, Su Yingxue was impatient and couldn’t stand her siblings’ scheming. Such a fine horse was taken by Su Jinxuan.
Taking the reins from Su Wei, Su Yingxue smiled at Su Qingzhi. “Thank you, Grandfather!”
Su Yingxue pondered how to tame the horse, but when she turned around, she noticed Su Qingzhi looking at her strangely. “You… How did you know to call her Black Narcissus?”
This was the name he had thought of for the horse after taming it. It wasn’t strange that Su Wei knew, but it was Su Yingxue’s first time seeing the horse today. How would she know?
Su Wei was also puzzled. “Miss, why did you call her Black Narcissus?”
Their thoughts were too coincidental, weren’t they?
“Well… The moon is bright tonight. She’s dark but with a white patch on her head. It reminded me of daffodils.” Su Yingxue chuckled.
To avoid being seen through by her grandfather, she held the reins and mounted the horse.
Black Narcissus was a horse with a strong temper and intelligence. Su Yingxue remembered from her past life that Su Jinxuan had struggled to tame this horse.
Due to her ability to discern a person’s capabilities, if she sensed that a person wasn’t capable enough or had malicious intentions, she wouldn’t submit. Even if she submitted temporarily, she would eventually throw the rider off.
In her past life, Black Narcissus had briefly been Su Jinxuan’s mount. However, during a battle, she threw Su Jinxuan off and was killed on the spot.
Once Su Yingxue mounted the horse, Black Narcissus neighed and raised its front hooves, seemingly displeased with her. It galloped swiftly, attempting to throw Su Yingxue off.
Su Wei was terrified. “Miss, this horse hasn’t been trained yet. It’s dangerous!”
Su Qingzhi stood still, his expression calm. “It’s unnecessary. Yingxue will surely tame Black Narcissus.”
Su Qingzhi’s gaze was deep as he watched Su Yingxue train the horse under the moonlight.
Without any protective gear on its back and only the reins in her hands, Su Yingxue was nearly thrown off several times. But gradually, Black Narcissus calmed down. Though panting heavily, she no longer attempted to throw Su Yingxue off..
