Everyone waited for a long time before Master Liu finally arrived. He apologized to Chu Zhen and the Second Madam with shame: "I'm sorry, I'm late. I hope Uncle Chu and Aunt Chu will forgive me."

Chu Zhen snorted, obviously looking down on him, and said directly: "Get on the horse, so many of us are waiting for you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Zhen had already rushed into the forest on his horse. Seeing this, the second wife quickly followed.

The other children of the Chu family looked at Master Liu and rode away on their horses, leaving Master Liu dumbfounded.

He had finally managed to get here with this horse, but in the blink of an eye, all the people from the Zhenbei Marquis's Mansion disappeared? How could he catch up?

Young Master Liu gritted his teeth and tried to climb onto the horse's back, but the horse seemed to be aware of his intention and was very uncooperative. He tried several times but failed to climb up.

The servant advised him: "Young Master, you can't ride a horse, why force yourself? Even if you climb on the horse, it will be difficult to catch up with the people in Zhenbei Marquis Mansion. They are all skilled in archery and horse riding... Even if you catch up, can you hunt?

"I thought to myself, this is just a way for the Zhenbei Marquisate to reject the marriage because they don't want to marry into the Liu family. I can see this, so how can you not see it, you are so smart? Why do you want to humiliate yourself?"

The servant felt really sorry for his master.

Master Liu was not angry, but smiled: "How could I not know what you said? But if you can't ride a horse, should you give up? Who can ride a horse in their birth?

"Uncle Chu and his friends invited me to hunt even though they knew I couldn't ride a horse. They definitely didn't want to see how bad I am at riding and archery. They probably wanted to see how strong my perseverance is."

With Mr. Liu's efforts, he finally got on the horse. He tightened the reins and smiled at the servant: "It's dangerous inside, you don't have to follow me, just wait outside for me to come back."

Before Master Liu shouted "Go", the horse under him rushed into the woods. Frightened, he screamed and quickly lay down and hugged the horse's neck.

He kept his eyes closed on the rest of the way, not daring to look where the horse was taking him, and cold sweat kept breaking out on his body.

Chu Zhen had already brought his entire family deep into the enclosure, ready to hunt.

Chu Heyi followed Chu Zhen, and Chu Zhen said, "I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince fell ill again. Let's go and kill a few pheasants and bring them back to the palace to make soup for him to nourish his body."

Chu Heyi's ears felt a little hot, but everyone who ran in was sweating slightly, so they didn't think it was a big deal when they saw her red ears.

She nodded, and started hunting with her father, the second lady and the others.

They wandered around in the woods for a while and caught a lot of prey, but they didn't see Young Master Liu coming, so everyone couldn't help but worry.

Chu Hui, in particular, looked outside the woods from time to time.

Could he have gone to the wrong place?

Will he encounter prey like wild boar?

How could a weak scholar like him deal with it?

No, she had to go back and find Master Liu.

Chu Zhen noticed her movements and called out to her, "Is it possible that Master Liu doesn't dare to enter this forest?"

Chu Hui pursed her lips, and finally looked up and looked directly into her father's eyes, contradicting him for the first time: "Father, Young Master Liu doesn't know how to ride a horse or shoot arrows. It's normal that he didn't go into the forest."

Chu Zhen's eyes instantly flared with anger. "He may not know how to do it, but he can't just retreat when he encounters difficulties. How can such a coward be worthy of marrying my daughter? You haven't even married yet, and you're already turning your elbow outward?"

Chu Hui stood there in a daze, her face turning pale and then red, and then red and then pale, obviously feeling both angry and embarrassed.

Chu Heyi rode up to her side and said in a gentle voice, "Huihui, sympathizing with a man is the beginning of tragedy."

Chu Hui turned her head to look at her, holding back tears: "Big sister, do you agree with father? The prince's brother-in-law is not good at riding and archery either."

Chu Heyi said: "Your Highness is just weak, not bad at it. Besides, the test between me and the prince is not about riding and archery. And you and Mr. Liu don't have any common experience as a foundation, so it is understandable that father should examine him more.

"Besides, the Dongshan Paddock is not a wild forest. Although there are prey in it, they are not very ferocious. At most, they are just wild boars. If Master Liu doesn't even have the courage to come in, it shows that he is not determined to marry you."

Chu Hui pursed her lips stubbornly and said nothing.

Chu Heyi asked her: "Huihui has no confidence in Master Liu?"

Chu Hui was stunned. She had not met Master Liu many times and did not know much about him. Perhaps her father was right and her elder sister was right...

"Sister, let's continue hunting. If he comes, I will recognize him. If he doesn't come, just think that he and I are not destined to be together." Chu Hui let out a breath and said so.

Chu Heyi smiled and said, "As expected of a girl from our Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, she can take it and let it go!"

Chu Hui smiled at her.

Everyone prepared to move forward and continue hunting, and Chu Hui even ran ahead of Chu Heyi.

But at this moment, there was a chaotic sound of horse hooves and even panicked cries behind her. Chu Hui turned around suddenly and saw that it was Master Liu riding a horse.

His horse was probably frightened and rushed around recklessly. This was a forest, and all the people from the Zhenbei Marquisate were here. If the horse wanted to avoid them, it would have to hit the tree trunks. If it wanted to avoid the trees, it would have to hit other people...

Everyone wanted to get away quickly, but there was not enough time.

Young Master Liu obviously realized that the current situation was extremely dangerous, but he couldn't stop the horse under his crotch, so he could only try his best to rush to a deserted place -

There is a tall tree in front of us. If we hit it, we will either die or be injured.

Chu Hui shouted, "Master Liu, stop the horse!"

Master Liu shouted, "This horse doesn't listen to me!"

Chu Hui gritted her teeth, rode her horse to Master Liu's side, stood on her horse's back, and jumped up - before Master Liu hit the tree, she hugged him and rolled off the horse's back.

The two of them rolled on the ground for several times and finally stopped after hitting a big tree.

As luck would have it, a wild boar pounced towards them from behind a big tree.

Chu Hui had her back to the tree and couldn't see.

But Master Liu was facing the big tree and could see everything clearly.

His forehead was bleeding, making his face pale for a moment. His mind went blank for a moment. He barely hesitated at all and tried his best to change the position between himself and Chu Hui, holding Chu Hui tightly in his arms...

Everyone is destined to die, and if he dies saving others, it won’t be a waste of his life in this world - thinking this, Master Liu closed his eyes.

"Ah!!" The howl of the wild boar echoed throughout the woods. It fell to the ground, causing the ground to shake and the fallen leaves on the ground to fly up.

Young Master Liu did not die, and Chu Hui did not die either, because at the moment the wild boar pounced on them, Chu Zhen shot an arrow, giving the wild boar a fatal blow.

Chu Heyi and his family also fired one arrow each, and their speed was only slightly slower than Chu Zhen's...

Master Liu and Chu Hui were stunned for a long time. When they finally came to their senses, they heard Chu Zhen say, "I agree to this marriage!"

That night, they roasted the wild boar and ate it, but the two fangs of the wild boar were left behind as a token of love between Master Liu and Chu Hui, as well as a talisman to ward off evil spirits.
