Everyone left the racecourse, except for the equestrian Maria. Maria walked to the edge, took a broom and walked to the spot where the horse suddenly went crazy, and swept all the sand on the ground into the dustpan.
, and then put it into a bucket.
After doing this, Maria walked into the nearby bathroom with an empty bucket, filled a bucket of water from it, walked back to the original position, and poured the water on the ground.
After all the water soaked into the ground, Maria walked out of the training ground holding the bucket that had been filled with sand.
As soon as she left the training ground, Maria was stunned.
He saw Lin Zhiming, Natalie and others standing in front of him.
"Little miss, haven't you gone back?" Maria asked in surprise.
"Where are you going?" Lin Zhiming asked with a smile.
"I...I'm going to take out the garbage!" Maria said.
"There are trash cans in the training ground. Where are you going to take out the trash?" Natalie asked.
"Well...I, I have some useless sand in my head here. I thought it would be just right to dump it on the grass over there." Maria said.
"Useless sand?" Lin Zhiming smiled jokingly, walked up to Maria and said, "Don't you smell anything from this sand?"
"No, it doesn't taste like anything." Maria shook her head in a panic.
"Are you sure there's no smell? It seems like there's something wrong with my nose. Let's do this. Leave the sand to me and I'll pour it out for you." Lin Zhiming said.
"No, no need, you are the lady's boyfriend, I can do this kind of rough work!" Maria said quickly.
"Maria!" Natalie stared at Maria and said, "This sand is the reason why Caesar went crazy just now, isn't it?"
"No!" Maria shook her head in panic.
"No?" Lin Zhiming sneered and said, "You are really smart. You know that giving drugs to horses to make them crazy will be found out, so you deliberately made some beast urine and poured it into the training ground, waiting for the horses to leave.
When it reaches a certain location and smells the urine of a beast, it will naturally be frightened. At this time, as long as Natalie tries to comfort it, it will stimulate it to become even more panicked. In the end, Natalie will be thrown away from the horse.
Come down, or be crushed by a horse, the whole process will be an accident, do you think I am right, Maria?"
"No, it's not like that, miss, don't listen to his nonsense, it's not like that." Maria explained excitedly.
"If this is the case, you will know if you take the sand in this bucket and test it," Natalie said.
"This..." Maria's face became extremely flustered.
"Maria, I believe you will not intentionally harm Natalie, because Natalie has no conflict of interest with you. Someone should have coerced you to do such a thing. Now as long as you tell this person, we will
Then you won't be held responsible, and you can continue to be your equestrian, what do you think?" Lin Zhiming said.
"I..." Maria opened her mouth, feeling that her throat was extremely dry. Now that everything she had done had been exposed by Lin Zhiming, she was at a loss for words and didn't know what to say.
"Maria, tell me who is behind it." Natalie stared at Maria and said.
"Miss..." Maria hesitated for a moment, and just when she was about to say something, suddenly, the sound of horse hoofbeats came from a distance.
Everyone looked around and saw a black horse carrying a person running quickly from a distance.
In the blink of an eye, one person and one horse arrived in front of everyone.
"Master Oden!" Maria shouted excitedly when she saw the person coming.
"Auden!" Natalie looked at the other party, frowning slightly.
"Oden?" Lin Zhiming raised his eyebrows when he saw the other party, with a joking expression on his face.
The person who came was riding a horse and glanced at everyone lightly.
This man was in his forties, with a thin build. He was wearing special equestrian clothing that was very close-fitting and decent.
He has blond hair, a high nose bridge, and very three-dimensional facial features.
Whether from the perspective of Eastern or Western aesthetics, this man can be regarded as a handsome man.
His name is Auden Portman!
He is the second in line of succession to the Duke of Bauhinia and is also Natalie's cousin.
"Cousin." Auden nodded slightly to Natalie as a greeting. After that, Auden looked at Maria and said, "Maria, what are you doing?"
"Master Oden, I, I'm just going to take out the trash." Maria said.
"Oh... I have some questions about equestrianism that I need you to help me answer. Come with me." Oden said.
"Yes!" Maria nodded repeatedly.
"Oden, someone poured the urine of a beast in the training ground. My Caesar was frightened and I almost got injured!" Natalie said with a frown.
"Oh? Really? That's really hateful." Auden said expressionlessly, looked at Maria and said, "Why are you standing there stupidly? Come with me."
"Yes!" Maria said.
"Oden, I suspect that Maria poured the beast's urine. What she now has in the bucket is the sand soaked in urine!" Natalie said.
"Really? What evidence do you have that the sand comes from the training ground?" Oden asked.
Natalie was stunned for a moment, then said, "If it doesn't come from the training ground, could it be from somewhere else?"
"This is not impossible." Oden shrugged and said, "No one has seen where the sand comes from. Even if it comes from the training ground, it cannot prove that it is the smell on the sand.
Make your Caesar crazy. Even if it is proved that the smell on the sand makes your Caesar crazy, it does not prove that Maria deliberately poured the beast's urine on it. It is possible that the beast came by itself at night when no one was around.
When I got to the training ground, I peed on it, what do you think, my cousin?"
"Yes, that's it!" Maria nodded excitedly!
"Oden, is Maria yours?" Natalie frowned and looked at Oden.
"How is this possible? Isn't Maria the salary you paid him? How can she be mine?" Auden said in surprise.
"Then why did you excuse her?" Natalie asked.
"I'm not excusing her, I'm just stating a fact. A bucket of sand alone can't explain anything," Auden said.
"This doesn't explain the problem, I..." Natalie was annoyed and was about to argue with Oden, but Lin Zhiming spoke up and stopped Natalie.
"This really doesn't explain anything, Natalie, there's no need to argue." Lin Zhiming said.
Natalie looked at Lin Zhiming doubtfully.
Lin Zhiming didn't look at him, but looked at Oden with a smile and said, "First meeting, Natalie's cousin."
"Are you Natalie's boyfriend Lin Zhiming?" Auden asked, looking down at Lin Zhiming.
"Yes." Lin Zhiming nodded and said, "If you don't mind, you can call me brother-in-law, because I will be engaged to Natalie soon."
"Engagement?!" Natalie and Oden's eyebrows moved at the same time.
"Congratulations to you!" Auden said expressionlessly.
"Yes, remember to come and drink our engagement wine then! Natalie, let's go." Lin Zhiming said, took Natalie's hand and turned around to leave.
Oden was riding on the horse, watching the two people leaving. There was no expression on his face, but a cold light flashed in his eyes.
"Master Oden, thank you for saving me." Maria said excitedly.
Auden glanced at Maria and said calmly, "Let's go, I have a question to ask you."
"Yes, yes!" Maria nodded repeatedly.
On the other side, Lin Zhiming and Natalie walked back to their residence.
"Dear, why do you let Maria go so easily?" Natalie asked in confusion.
"We stopped Maria just now. Maria was frightened. We could get a lot of words out of her mouth, but then Oden showed up. Oden was much smarter than Maria. He stabilized Maria's
The heart pointed out the core of the problem. We really can't do anything to Maria with a bucket of sand, so... it's almost impossible for us to ask something from Maria's mouth." Lin
Zhiming said.
"Oden must be behind Maria, otherwise he wouldn't have appeared at that time to help Maria solve the problem!" Natalie said angrily.
"These are not important now." Lin Zhiming shrugged and said.
"Auden..." Natalie's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness.
"Natalie, remember something." Lin Zhiming looked at Natalie and said seriously, "Oden appeared in this family earlier than you. He is now in a high position and was once considered to be the future Bauhinia.
Duke, so, in this family, his power is beyond your imagination. You have no advantage at all compared to him. Therefore, don't show your hatred for Oden easily, because this will not only make Oden
It will have no other effect than strengthening my determination to get rid of you."
"I...get it." Natalie nodded.
"You just need to understand that as long as I'm here, it doesn't matter whether he is Oden or Harden!" Lin Zhiming said.
"Dear, you give me too much sense of security!" Natalie hugged Lin Zhiming's arm excitedly.
The two returned to their residence and saw Payton walking out at the door.
"Miss, Mr. Lin!" Payton greeted the two of them.
"Butler." Natalie nodded to Peyton, and then asked, "Has Zhiming's room been arranged properly?"
"The arrangements have been made, but I can't take Mr. Lin to his room now, because something happened at the racecourse, and someone will take Mr. Lin to his room," Payton said.
"Something happened at the racecourse? What happened?" Natalie asked in surprise.
"It's like this. Maria, the equestrian at the racecourse, accidentally fell into the feed mixer..."
