Peasant Woman’s Decreed Life as a Wife

Chapter 2530: Chapter 2527: Interest

“In that case, I’ll buy a gold medal,” Ye Muyu said, nodding to Su Mei.

Su Mei walked toward the servant boy, and someone from the adjacent room greeted her inside.

After a short while, Su Mei came out holding a gold medal.

Lady Su, seeing this, although she felt it was somewhat expensive, still decided to buy one as well.

After all, she couldn’t just establish a relationship with Ye Muyu and immediately lose the opportunity if she couldn’t enter the temple on the mountain.

If word got out, she feared she would be laughed at.

Ye Muyu was quite lucky.

Not long after, a special area was opened for the ladies to play pitch-pot.

She became one of the first group of patrons.

The sport of pitch-pot relies somewhat on talent and skill, not to mention having to ride a horse.

Ye Muyu initially couldn’t manage to make a throw.

The other ladies were even more so.

Lady Su, clearly a pampered lady, didn’t dare to ride the horse and throw the sticks without her servants leading the horse.

Ye Muyu’s competitive spirit was ignited, and with Su Mei and several maidservants helping to retrieve the arrow feathers, she only needed to aim and throw continuously.

With people serving her like this, if she failed to achieve anything, she would have to scorn herself for having hands in vain.

After successfully throwing one, Ye Muyu couldn’t contain her joy.

Su Mei encouraged her from the side, “Madam, you’re really impressive, keep it up.”

“I will,” Ye Muyu replied earnestly.

Holding the arrow feather, she unhesitatingly threw it.

The horse had to move around due to her movements.

Ye Muyu tugged at the reins, controlling the horse, watching as the arrow feather swooshed into the pot, her eyes immediately lit up with excitement.

“Give me a few more,” Ye Muyu said, restraining her excitement as she clenched her fist.

“Alright, Madam,” Su Mei smiled.

Quite cooperative.

Ye Muyu continuously hit several targets, her face full of a wide smile.

“Madam Chu, you’re so amazing!” Lady Su finally managed to force herself to ride a horse and came to see Ye Muyu’s accuracy at pitch-pot, which was ninety percent, her eyes widened in some astonishment.

“Madam Chu, did you learn this before?” Lady Su asked.

Ye Muyu adjusted her hair and dress, beaming with delight: “No, I just learned it now, it’s quite interesting, would you like to play?”

She pretended not to understand the hidden jealousy in the other’s words.

Lady Su gave a forced laugh, walked forward, and tried to throw but found she couldn’t hit the target at all.

Ye Muyu didn’t presumptuously teach her but instead focused on her own game, enjoying herself thoroughly.

After playing to her heart’s content, she noticed in her periphery that Lady Su’s arm was sore from throwing, obviously having a hard time.

A fast flash of amusement crossed her eyes, and she said, “Lady Su, you’ve been playing for quite a while, tired already? Do you want to ride a horse or rest?”

Lady Su, hearing this, was finally relieved and hurriedly said, “Then, I’ll go rest first.”

“Alright then, I’ll go for a horse ride and come back. Meanwhile, Lady Su can try the food here; I’ve heard there’s a diverse menu from all over the country.”

“Some dishes aren’t even available in the capital’s restaurants.”

“Really? Then I’ll give it a try.” Lady Su was eager for Ye Muyu to leave immediately.

This time she was particularly cooperative.

As soon as Ye Muyu rode away, she hissed and had her maidservant help her dismount from the horse.

“Let’s go, time to rest.” Lady Su was not only sore in her arms but also in her legs, chafed from riding.
