Chapter 113 The Out-of-Control Horses
"Madam, you just called that lady Ye Qingzhu. Could she be your half-sister, Jiang Xiucai's wife?"
Thanks to Jiang Wenjin's visits over the past few days, the woman has gained some understanding of his situation.
Ye Qingwu nodded, "That's right, she was my half-sister from the Duke's mansion, but we have no relation now."
“It’s alright… but that scholar Jiang clearly…” The woman’s words were cut short as she seemed to remember something.
Previously, Jiang Wenjin had repeatedly mentioned the Regent's Palace and the relationship between her and the Regent's Consort in front of her husband, but now...
The woman lowered her head and said to Ye Qingwu, "Thank you for the reminder, Your Highness."
"Thank you for what you said earlier, Princess Consort." Shen Ran approached Ye Qingwu and expressed her gratitude.
"You're welcome," Ye Qingwu said with a smile. He looked much better than before, which must be due to the medicine she had given him.
"There's a teahouse up ahead. Let's rest there for a bit."
Ye Qingwu looked at the crowd around her and said to the woman.
"it is good."
Upon arriving at the teahouse, Ye Qingwu asked the waiter to bring over some snacks, which flattered the woman.
"Your Highness, how can we let you spend any more money?"
"It's alright. I get along well with Shen Ran. Besides, money is just an external thing. Why bother pursuing it once it's been spent?"
Ye Qingwu didn't take it seriously, knowing that she had a little treasury in her space.
"Shen Ran, please extend your hand so I can take your pulse, okay?"
“Okay!” Shen Ran reached out his hand without hesitation.
The woman watched the situation from the side, and only after Ye Qingwu finished taking her pulse did she ask anxiously, "Your Highness, how is Ran'er now? Does she need any further treatment?"
"Don't worry, Madam Shen, the child is recovering very well."
Hearing Ye Qingwu's words, the woman breathed a sigh of relief and thanked Ye Qingwu repeatedly.
“Mrs. Shen, you have already expressed your gratitude countless times since just now.”
The woman was a little embarrassed. "Your Highness, we must not neglect our manners no matter what."
And the other side.
Ye Qingzhu was in a great mood after receiving one hundred taels from Ye Qingwu. Ever since she got married, nothing good had ever happened whenever she saw Ye Qingwu, and she had never had a chance to get anything from that slut.
Getting one hundred taels now would be good.
Chun'er, who was standing beside her, was somewhat frightened. "Second Miss, the former eldest young lady is now the Regent's Consort. If she uses this matter to her advantage, won't it have a negative impact on you?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingzhu snorted coldly and immediately reprimanded Chun'er.
"What impact could it have? I think you people are just worrying unnecessarily. You should know that I didn't steal this hundred taels; Ye Qingwu gave it to me voluntarily."
"Does she intend to use this to file a complaint?"
Even if she is the Regent's wife, so what? In the end, if she hadn't taken the initiative to propose a marriage exchange, Ye Qingwu would still be living a miserable life.
Ye Qingwu's position as princess was something she didn't want.
Besides, she has the Duke's Mansion behind her. Even if that bitch Ye Qingwu wants to do something to her, she should consider the consequences.
Chun'er was scolded by Ye Qingzhu and dared not utter a sound. Just then, a loud shout came from not far away.
"Make way! Get out of the way!"
A runaway carriage was seen rushing towards them, heading straight for Ye Qingzhu.
The people around were terrified by this sudden turn of events and fled in panic. Ye Qingzhu looked at the approaching carriage and froze in fear. For some reason, her body seemed to stand still, unable to move an inch.
"Second Miss, leave quickly!" Chun'er, eager to escape, called out anxiously when she saw Ye Qingzhu still standing there.
Ye Qingzhu was terrified. "I can't move my body! Chun'er, come and help me!"
If she were hit by this carriage, she would be bedridden for half a month.
Chun'er was shocked by Ye Qingzhu's words. How could she be unable to move when her life was at stake? But when she thought of Ye Qingzhu's status, she knew that if anything happened to her, the madam would never forgive her.
Just as Chun'er was dragging Ye Qingzhu away, there was a loud bang as the carriage crashed to the side.
The massive impact sent surrounding objects flying, but by sheer coincidence, they all landed on Ye Qingzhu.
Ye Qingzhu lay on the ground, looking utterly disheveled. The coachman approached her and repeatedly apologized, "Madam, how are you?"
Are you injured anywhere?
Ye Qingzhu was furious that she had made a fool of herself in front of so many people.
"Chun'er, what are you still standing there for? Quickly help me up."
Strangely enough, even though Chun'er was standing right next to her, those things seemed to have eyes and all smashed towards her, while Chun'er was completely unaffected.
Chun'er quickly helped Ye Qingzhu up from the ground.
"Second Miss, you..."
Ye Qingzhu glared fiercely at Chun'er, "I'll settle the score with you when we get back."
Then he turned to the coachman and said, "What's wrong with you? How could you let the horse go out of control? Do you know what just happened...?"
Before Ye Qingzhu could finish speaking, the out-of-control horse suddenly charged towards her again.
Ye Qingzhu opened her eyes wide, no longer in the mood to scold the driver, and hurriedly shouted, "Damn beast, don't come any closer!"
"Driver, quickly subdue this horse and don't let it come any closer!!!"
The coachman hadn't expected this to happen. He tried to grab the reins, but the horse seemed determined to attack Ye Qingzhu. Even though the coachman had grabbed the reins, it not only had no effect, but he was also led along.
"Second Miss, let's leave quickly. This servant feels that this place is a bit eerie."
Chun'er was very anxious as she watched the coachman struggling to control the horses.
Ye Qingzhu dared not linger any longer and turned to leave quickly.
"Madam, you'd better find somewhere to hide!"
The coachman shouted from behind. Ye Qingzhu's eyes widened. This horse was actually chasing after her!
Upon seeing a teahouse not far away, Ye Qingzhu quickly ran inside.
For some reason, the horse suddenly became quiet as it approached the teahouse, then collapsed to the ground, lifeless.
The passersby present were all shocked by this sudden turn of events, and some people in the teahouse who witnessed the scene were even more amazed.
"This lady must have done something wrong, otherwise why would the horse chase her instead of others?"
“That’s right. I’ve heard that horses are the most intelligent. I just heard her calling them beasts and using foul language. She’s completely ill-mannered.”
Ye Qingzhu, who had finally seen the commotion subside, was furious upon hearing these words.
