After the Double Ninth Festival, another activity was added to Daohua's daily life, and that was to ride horses in the suburbs of the city.
Sometimes she went with Zhou Jingwan, and sometimes she went by herself.
Madam Li was worried about accidents, so each time Daohua went out, in addition to being followed by Wang Manman and Qin Xiaoliu, she also had to bring along an old maid and two young servants.
As days became busier, time flew swiftly, and before they knew it, it was mid-October.
One day, when Daohua returned from outside leading the red jujube horse back to the main courtyard, she saw Madam Li sitting with a worried frown on her face.
"Mother, what's wrong? Did someone upset you?"
Madam Li glanced at her daughter, beckoned her over to sit beside her, and then smiled, "With you around, who would dare to bully me?"
Daohua smiled, "Then what's the matter?"
