Chapter 252: Chapter 253: Not Worth Its Hay

Gan Yuan was busy rolling on the spot, and with a dull thud, as the bodyguard and Sherry held their breath, the white horse’s two hooves heavily stamped on the grass, with the left hoof only half a foot away from Gan Yuan.

Just as everyone was about to breathe a sigh of relief, the white horse charged forward again—straight toward the direction Gan Tang was running.

"Young master!"

A bodyguard anxiously aimed his gun again, but before he could shoot, a horsewhip had struck his hand from mid-air with a fierce smack.

"Do you have a death wish?" Nancy cursed out loud, "That’s a purebred Arabian horse!"

Arabian horses are the most purebred descendants in the equine world, the royalty among horses, and even those with half Arabian blood are priceless, let alone a purebred like this.

Sherry frowned, unable to bear it any longer, and said, "Even so, it cannot be more important than a human life!"

Nancy curled her lip dismissively, "Has it hurt anyone..."

Before she could finish, another painful neigh resounded from the slope; this time, the horse’s cry was filled with agony.

Turning around, everyone saw the purebred Arabian that had just been galloping now collapsed on the slope, a slender knife embedded in its hind leg.

The blade was completely plunged into the horse’s skin, leaving only a silver handle visible, glinting dazzlingly in the sunlight.

"Princess!"

Calling out the white horse’s name, Sherry’s face instantly turned deathly pale, and she raced toward the slope like a madwoman.

"Miss!"

"Young master!"

Seeing this, the others also hurried to follow.

Gan Tang turned around, ran to Gan Yuan who had fallen on the grass, and held her arm with concern. "Mommy!"

Gan Yuan gave him a reassuring smile, and spoke calmly.

"Mommy is fine, how about you, are you hurt?"

The little guy shook his head.

"Damn it!" Nancy jumped down from her horse, looked at the white horse writhing in pain on the ground, and rage instantly filled her chest. She raised her horsewhip and pointed at Gan Yuan, her fingers trembling, "You... you dare to hurt it?!"

Standing up from the grass, Gan Yuan didn’t even acknowledge Nancy’s accusation, but instead hugged her son protectively.

"It’s okay, don’t be scared, Mommy is here!"

This woman hurt her horse, and she dared to ignore Nancy?

Nancy’s anger reached its peak, and she raised the horsewhip in her hand. As she swung her arm, the whip whooshed through the air towards Gan Yuan, who was holding her son.

"Miss Locke!"

The bodyguards were all tense, their hearts racing; the nearest one rushed to protect Gan Yuan.

Others might not know, but this particular bodyguard had accompanied Huangfu Jue to B City and knew Gan Yuan’s status in the eyes of the Duke; if Nancy’s whip were to hit Gan Yuan and Gan Tang, the matter could become unmanageable.

Before he could get there, Nancy’s whip froze mid-air.

Gan Yuan tightened her grip on the stopped whip, turned her face to meet Nancy’s eyes.

"What are you doing?"

Four words, calm yet exuding an inviolable pride.

Locked in her gaze, Nancy’s heart clenched. After a two-second pause, she managed to resume her spoiled and imperious demeanor.

Nancy did not recognize the woman before her, and seeing her plain attire, Nancy assumed she was a new maid at the estate or something similar, never for a moment considering Gan Yuan significant.

"What am I doing?" She snorted arrogantly, "Do you know what kind of horse this is? Even if you sold yourself, you wouldn’t be worth one meal for it!"
