Chapter 15 Chapter Fourteen

Connor waited for the surprise to arrive.He knew there was a naive plan in his wife's inexplicable mind, and she wanted to please him with it, but he couldn't understand how she could think that building a church in his yard would make him happy. stand up.He guessed that she must have done it for some other reason, and if so, he might have been wondering what the reason was until the day of the burial. The only thing that made him comfortable now was that things couldn't get any worse.Whatever the surprises she had planned, nothing was more dreadful than the building of the church.

He really should know better. He didn't go into the house to talk to Euphemia, as he had planned to do when he first got home, but if he did he would have to go through those big holes in the yard, and he really didn't want to see them.Kunlan said that the pits are deep enough to bury a tall man's head, and that's only if you're lucky enough to land on your feet first when you fall.Seeing the pits only fueled his anger.Of course, he can go in through the back door. But he didn't, he needed time to calm down.His plan was to wait until the evening when the pits were filled.And it would give him time to process his own reaction to the horrific surprise.

After washing off the dust of the past fortnight, he rode north to see the progress of the fortifications over there.As a result, problems appeared one after another, and he didn't go back until late in the afternoon. When he returned to the barn, the sun had already set, and as soon as he entered the barn, he realized that something was wrong.First, his dark horse was not inside, and second, Davis was about to sneak out the back door. His order made the groom shudder, where is my dark horse, Davis? Outside, lord. This answer did not satisfy Connor.He ordered the groom to come over, and asked, did you want to escape through the back door just now?

Yes. Why? Hope to get away before you find out that the dark horse is gone. I see.Connor replied, his voice was very self-controlled and gentle.So where is my horse now? It's getting fresh air outside. Who holds it? Davis seemed afraid to tell him.He took a step back and summoned up the courage to say, Your wife. Did she order you to lead the horse out?He wondered what the hell was going on, and why Davis was so nervous. Oh, actually she didn't really order me. So did she ask Quinlan or Chris? No, of course she wouldn't ask those two either.The truth is, she didn't ask me either.

Connor had to remind himself to be patient.So let me see, all right, Davis, stand still.You can't go anywhere without answering my questions.Is there anyone with my wife, or is she just walking the horse by herself? Now Kunlan may have caught up with Madam.Usually he does.But I don't understand what you mean by walking around.Can you explain it?I don't think she's just going for a walk, and neither is your dark horse. Connor's heart beat faster, is anyone riding that horse? Yes. Is it Kunlan?He refrained from grabbing Davis by the thin neck, though he wanted to shake him that way and make him speak the answer.So who the hell is riding?

When Davis heard the anger in the lord's voice, his face changed with fright. Now, your wife may be on the horse, but after a while, she may not be on the horse again. He knew Davis would say that.If Davies hadn't already promised Quinlan to be with her, Connor might have lost control of his terror. Why on earth did Kunlan agree with Minna to take such a risk?His horse was too difficult for most men to handle, and Connor couldn't imagine his frail wife trying to handle it. If the horse broke free from Kunlan's grip, it would have stepped on Wenna.where are they? Lord, I don't think you understand me.It was impossible for the black horse to break free from Kunlan's control, because he would never get that close.He just looked at his wife from a distance.

god she might She's not hurt at all, I promise. Connor had already arrived at the door, but Davis' words made him stop. How do you know if she is safe?he asks. If your wife is injured in any way, those people will come and report it to you. Which people? Those who are watching.They started gathering around to watch six or seven days ago.But no one bothers Ma'am, so you don't have to be so nervous.Kunlan would always watch her from the side.I don't have to go to see what's going on there, I just need to go outside the door and listen to the voices of the group of people to know what's going on with Madam.They groaned loudly if she fell off, and cheered loudly if she sat upright on the horse.Recently, I found that there have been more and more cheers, which shows that the lady's progress is getting bigger and bigger.

where are they now On the opposite side of the hill behind the kitchen.Just follow the voice of the crowd.At this time, Connor had already run out.So he raised his voice and said, hear that moan?Well, that can only mean that Davis felt that there was no need to explain further. The figure of the lord had crossed the hill and disappeared. When Connor passed the kitchen, he heard a burst of cheers from the crowd, God forbid, his wife is still safe at the moment.He was surprised to find that he could still remember how to breathe. After a while, he saw his people gathered on the hillside.Mothers sat on the ground with their children on their laps, while men stood behind their wives and children, chatting.The older women had their needlework at hand, but were too busy staring at Mina, like everyone else, to stir a stitch at all.All these people, young and old, watched intently, curiously, and were not at all bored.

It's clear everyone here is out of their minds. Connor finally came to the top of the mountain, still some distance away from his group of ecstatic clansmen, he stopped suddenly, and was stunned by what he saw. He was not prepared for this scene at all.His wife wasn't just riding without a saddle, and to her credit, she was doing just fine.No, no, it's not just good, he found that she rode very beautifully.Her back and shoulders were straight, her head held high, and she had good skills and experience like his soldiers. The difference was that she was more graceful and elegant, like a goddess.When she and the horse under her galloped by, her blond hair fluttered behind her with the wind, and her happy and crisp laughter filled his heart with pride and pride.He understood now that he was as mad as everyone else.

He found that there was a lot of hay on the ground, knowing that Kunlan still took precautions to reduce the damage when she fell. Although Connor thought he was very smart, he still wanted to tear him to pieces.Now the crowd of onlookers is cheering for her, which encourages her even more. He suddenly found Kunlan waving wildly at Wenna and shaking his head violently. He knew that he had to stop this crazy adventure, lest Wenna have Nothing happened. He didn't understand or even imagine what Mina wanted to do, but it was too late when he understood.When Connor ran down the mountain, the black horse had already jumped over the haystack. Wen Na didn't panic at all, but the next jump of the black horse would definitely make her fall to the ground.

Connor couldn't take it anymore.Standing with his legs apart, he whistled loudly.The black horse suddenly raised his head, and although the noise of the crowd was loud, he heard it, so he changed direction. Wen Na didn't understand what happened to Wei Li.No matter how hard she tried, the horse refused to listen to her and refused to turn her head.It ran over the hill, turned, and started running up the hill. After a while she finally understood what was going on.Connor was standing on the top of the mountain with his hands on his hips and legs apart. The expression on his face made her wonder what he thought of her behavior just now.She tried harder to turn the horse back, God help her, she even asked Willy to have pity on her. But no matter how much she begged, no matter how hard she tried to pull on the rein, the stubborn horse would not listen.After arriving in front of the master, it stopped immediately, and Mina told it her dissatisfaction, traitor, close to its ear. Connor heard it.He knows it's best not to talk now, because in his current mood, once he starts, he can't help but say something that hurts her. Wen Na saw her husband's face and knew that she had frightened him, and she wanted to let him know that everything was fine.She doesn't care at all.But his expression made her feel as though it was best to do nothing right now. She was going to pretend she didn't know he was angry.It wasn't a good idea, but she couldn't think of a better one at the moment. She straightened up, trying to look happy. Are you happy with my surprise?she asked, knowing in her heart that he was not at all happy.He was obviously quite angry, and she wished she had escaped unharmed. She thought he would pull her off the horse and scold her.But he didn't touch the reins at all.He just turned around and walked towards the stall. Willy followed him meekly.Chris suddenly came to her right, pale as if he had just seen something horrible.If he would look at Mina, she would ask what was going on.Then Kunlan stood on her left again. He must have run over because he was still panting heavily, but he had a smug look on his face. He didn't look up at her either, so she couldn't ask him why he was so proud. Kang Nuo didn't speak until they came to the stall.He ordered Chris to dismount his wife, and he said he needed to talk to Quinlan first. As soon as the door closed behind him, Connor immediately yelled at Chris to stay there.he ordered. Shall I bring the horse here.Davis asked.Your voice makes it a little disturbing. He handed Davis the reins and turned to talk to Quinlan, explaining to me. I can't explain it, I can only say that my supervision was ineffective.There is only one thing you can do now, and that is to remove me immediately. I'm angry, but I'm not stupid.Kang Nuo said angrily, don't you even control a woman?You better damn learn how to handle it, because when it's your turn you have to be in charge of everything.Now tell me, are you crazy?To put my wife at risk.So do others.How could you let this happen? Let it happen, Connor?Are you kidding me?It's easier to stop the rain than to get your wife to cooperate.For the past two weeks I've been trying to figure out what else to do with her, thinking I can't do anything, and trying to outwit her all the time, but it's all in vain. Connor saw that Davis was about to slip away through the back door, so he raised his hand to stop Kunlan, and shouted angrily, "Davis, if you walk out of this door, you will die in an ugly way."come over. The groom immediately obeyed and came over.I just want to give you some privacy, lord.Do you have anything else to do? Yes.I want you to answer a few questions for me. If I were you, I wouldn't ask him anything.Kunlan said, otherwise you will be even angrier. impossible.Davies, you know, I'll take an explanation before making a decision. Of course I know.he agrees. Did my wife go into the barn herself, and bridle the black horse? no. Who is that? it's me. Connor's face darkened, and he understood.Did you know my wife was going to take it out? Yes, he replied. Seeing Kunlan smiling, Connor gave him a hard look, and then turned his attention back to Davis. Knowing what the conversation was going to be, Kunlan couldn't stop laughing. Explain clearly, otherwise I'll think you must be out of your mind. She smiled at me, my lord, that saddens me so much. Connor blinked and smiled? Davis nodded, her smile was the reason for it all.She must be up to something.Although I think so, but I will never say so, I have absolute loyalty to you.And her heart is also the reason why I was fooled. her heart? Her heart is as pure as an angel, and so is her smile, but her brain, you see, is the source of my troubles.I suspect there may be something wrong with her head, but I won't say so.Madame is not like any other woman here.She thinks like a man, a wise man.She never lied to me once, lord, never. Then why did you let her lead the dark horse? Because of her smile. If you ask Davis, the result you get is just going around in circles.Finally, it is definitely back to the lady's smile.Kunlan said. And of course her heart because when she smiles she makes me think I'm facing a pure angel Connor interrupted him, Davis, you'd better get out of here immediately.Come back after I'm gone. The old man did so immediately.And he ran out as fast as if his pants were on fire. Shall I order my wife not to smile? That might work.Kunlan suggested with a sincere face.You also have to order your wife not to think like a man. What the hell does this mean? She's much smarter than Davis. Will she be smarter than you, Quinlan? The soldier sighed heavily, I'm not sure.But very likely. She literally terrified me. The two men didn't find it funny at first, and after a few seconds of silence, they both burst into laughter.Connor laughed because he was relieved now that his wife was still safe.And Kunlan also knew why he was laughing. He was sure that when the lord left next time, the hostess would embarrass Chris in the same way.He couldn't wait to see what she would do while he was watching the house. Both Mina and Chris heard their laughter, and she knew they must be laughing at herself. Chris found her frustrated and comforted her, saying, don't worry, ma'am.Connor and Quinlan must be laughing at Davis, or something.Absolutely. Are you worried they are laughing at me?Anyway, I'm worried.She didn't let him answer and continued, but there was no need to think about why they laughed like this.I think I know why they are so happy. Why? Although Connor won't admit it to me, I think he likes the surprise I gave him.Just wait and see how he reacts to the other surprises. Are there other surprises?Chris asked hoarsely. certainly. She didn't know why Chris reacted this way to her words, he seemed to be shaking.She patted his hand and told her it was okay, she wouldn't mind, thinking maybe he was laughing in his heart, that's why it happened. Connor replied calmly first.I'm going to talk to my wife later.He assured his friend.One last thing for you, is there anything else? what else? surprise. I know only one. Connor looked like he couldn't stand up.Kunlan immediately explained that there was no need to worry about that.She made a small improvement in the lobby, and it was absolutely harmless.I saw it this morning.He nodded emphatically. It better be so.The lord came to the door muttering. The shock of seeing my wife on my black horse probably took me a week to get back.Whenever I think about it, I tremble with fear like an old man.I keep thinking about the way she flies across the grass He couldn't go on.He shook his head, pushing the thought away, and sighed in frustration, realizing suddenly that his hands were still shaking slightly until now. Kunlan was also thinking about the scene of the hostess sitting on the horse. Although he knew that it would take a long time for him to recover from the shock, he still had to admit that the skills she showed were really good.
