Qiao Mai had prepared ponies for the children long ago, raising them in her space. After being nurtured with spiritual energy for a considerable time, these horses were naturally intelligent. Following Qiao Mai's commands as the space's owner, they were well-behaved and obedient.
Even when they encountered loud noises like fireworks, they remained calm. This is why Qiao Mai felt comfortable with the children riding on their backs.
The next day, the whole family set off, each person carrying a cloth bag.
The cloth bags proved convenient, and both Old Mistress and Master Wang liked them very much.
The weather was clear, and the sun shone brightly, yet it didn't feel too hot.
Each child rode a pony while Ling'er sat on the back of the horse with Qiao Mai. Even Yuan Jiaqi, who had a gentle and scholarly appearance, was riding a black horse.
He and Qiao Mai rode side by side while Old Master and Mistress Wang watched from the window.
