Chapter 331: Chapter 331: She Can Still Ride a Horse

"Senior brother, why don’t you take over driving the carriage? I need to sleep a bit."

Before Jin Zijin could answer, Gu Youyou immediately interjected, "How can that be? Zijin has an injury on his arm."

Yue Rujing’s nose twisted with irritation as he said, "My senior brother is tough as old boots, what’s a little injury to him? Back in the day, we..." He stopped mid-sentence, and then muttered resentfully, "I think you two are just ganging up to bully me."

Gu Youyou yawned and said with a grin, "Or I could drive."

Yue Rujing was startled and asked, "You know how to drive a carriage?"

Jin Zijin looked at her with equal surprise.

But Gu Youyou said, "I can ride horses. I’ve never driven a carriage, but I figure it can’t be that hard, right? Just teach me and that’s it."

She couldn’t believe driving a carriage could be harder than getting a driver’s license.

Back when she incognito went to a small city for a driver’s license, the always proud Miss Gu questioned her own intelligence for the first time because of the driving test. After being scolded by the instructor, she even began to doubt her life choices.

She could still recall every word of that bizarre instructor’s scolding.

("See the person ahead?"

"I see them."

"Hit them."

"What? I can’t do that!"

"Then why didn’t you hit the brakes?"

"...")

Yue Rujing turned his head, gave her a strange look, collided gazes with Jin Zijin, then said with an inexplicable expression, "Since you can ride horses, you might as well not learn to drive a carriage. Let’s switch to riding horses at the next stop."

Gu Youyou certainly understood the hidden meaning behind his expression. With so many inexplicable things about her already, hiding them all would be too exhausting, wouldn’t it? Anyway, whether she could ride horses or not, they looked at her with the same skepticism. The idea that ’with enough fleas one stops itching’ must be her attitude. She smiled lightly and said, "Sure!"

Gu Youyou knew medical skills, she could write, she could ride horses, and she could do many other things too. She didn’t hide her abilities; she was just herself, open and forthright. When the time came, she’d naturally show what she could do.

"Wow, you ride pretty smoothly!" Yue Rujing mocked her.

This woman was a bundle of problems. She could ride horses? Even the daughters of wealthy families, the young ladies from official households, were nurtured sheltered from the world. And yet she could ride horses?

Did she think she was a general’s daughter?

Gu Youyou picked up the undercurrent of his backhanded compliments, but she didn’t care. The heir to the Gu Family was versatile, second to none, and when it came to horse riding, she was particularly skilled. She had even competed in the past, so how could she be anything but excellent?

"Not bad at riding," Jin Zijin commented, then quickly mounted his horse and followed her.

Soon they had left the relay station far behind, riding swiftly into the distance.

They had no idea that Lingnan was so far away. They’d been riding for three days and still hadn’t arrived. Today was even worse, they ended up in the wilderness with not a single inn to stay in.

Although Gu Youyou had participated in many outdoor activities and was no delicate lady, that was with her other body. This body was even frailer than those sheltered misses, and she was utterly exhausted.

If Yue Rujing hadn’t been constantly goading her with his snide comments, she would have given up long ago.

"If you’re really tired, we can rest a while. We should reach Lu City by tomorrow," Jin Zijin suggested.

Gu Youyou glanced at Yue Rujing and then snorted, "Why would I be tired? Nonetheless, your wound hasn’t fully healed; it would be wise to rest a while."

Jin Zijin subconsciously looked at his own arm, which had clearly healed
