Chapter 551: Chapter 551 Threat Exposed (6)_1 Chapter 551: Chapter 551 Threat Exposed (6)_1 “If you won’t agree, then why did you ask to co back?
Lin Yuan, don’t push your luck!
I’m telling you, even if I take this to the Yan, I won’t let you get away with it!
Hmph!”
Lin Yuan sighed.
Why couldn’t ng Chunyan let her finish speaking before leaving?
“Miss ng, listen to finish my words before you go, can you?”
ng Chunyan bit her lip, “Speak.”
Lin Yuan pointed at the luxurious yet understated carriage, then pointed at the one Xia Zheng had given her, and said, “Miss ng, the carriage that bumped into you is not mine at all.
That one with the bells hanging on it, that’s my carriage.
So, if you want compensation, you’ve found the wrong person.
It shouldn’t be you’re looking for, but the owner of that carriage.”
ng Chunyan was taken aback and stared blankly, her gaze sweeping back and forth between the two carriages.
The one with the bells was indeed Lin Yuan’s, because she had personally seen her ride in it.
But, shouldn’t this carriage also belong to her?
Wasn’t the woman who claid to be Xiao Linshuang’s maid sitting inside?
Since she was her maid, then wasn’t it obvious that the carriage has to belong to her as well?
“Lin Yuan, don’t try to fool !
I saw with my own eyes your maid in this carriage!”
Lin Yuan spread her hands and said to ng Chunyan and the owners of several nearby shops, “I, Lin Yuan, am just a country girl.
How could I afford to have maids?
All the shop owners here can vouch for .”
The shop owners nodded in agreent, and Mo Sanniang even said with a smile, “Miss ng, did you hit your own head when the carriage collided, and turned fool?
Have you mistaken the person?”
At this point, ng Chunyan was no longer in the mood to care about Mo Sanniang’s rudeness.
She knocked on her head vehently.
Indeed, she had hit her head earlier.
Could she have actually mistaken the person?
“No, I need to take a look in your shop!”
Lin Yuan spread her hands, “Miss ng, it’s not that I won’t let you look, but, the coachman in question is right here.
Why not ask him instead?”
Right, ask the coachman.
Everyone’s gaze focused on the coachman driving for Princess Anle.
He was soone who had seen the world and wouldn’t have been nervous to the point of being speechless if soone else looked at him this way.
The coachman glanced coldly at ng Chunyan, ignoring her, and pointed at her coachman, saying, “He ran into first, I certainly didn’t bump into him.”
With a simple sentence, all the bla was shifted back onto ng Chunyan.
Her coachman, upon hearing this, imdiately turned red and hung his head in silence.
To everyone else, this seed like an admission of what the other coachman had said.
ng Chunyan was still stubborn, “No!
We were just trying to drive through!”
The other coachman stopped talking and turned his head away to continue staring vacantly, as if the events around him had nothing to do with him at all.
Lin Yuan quietly admired the coachman’s composure and breadth of mind.
No wonder he ca from the General Mansion—he was exceptional indeed.
As for ng Chunyan’s coachman, he had already turned pale with guilt, breaking out in a cold sweat.
Because the other coachman was right—indeed it was they who had bumped into the other first.
Lin Yuan smiled and said, “Miss ng, people are saying that it was your carriage that hit theirs first.
It’s just that your carriage is not as sturdy as theirs, so it ended up damaged.”
ng Chunyan would not admit that her carriage was not sturdy, stubbornly huffing, “What do you an not sturdy?
This is a new carriage I bought from Yecheng, how could it not be sturdy?”
ng Chunyan didn’t understand, but her coachn saw all too clearly.
This carriage was indeed not sturdy—it was obviously an old one that had been refurbished.
Suddenly, one of the coachn casually remarked, “One is a refurbished carriage that’s been used for five years, and the other is made of sandalwood and is only one year old.
Which one do you think is sturdy?”
This ti, without the need for ng Chunyan to speak, onlookers began to burst into laughter, “Of course, the sandalwood one is sturdier.
Even after five years, that sandalwood carriage would still be stronger than her five-year-old one!”
ng Chunyan’s face turned pale, “What do you an a five-year-old carriage that’s been refurbished?
Mine is new, it is new!
It was my elder brother who bought it for from Yecheng for fifty taels of silver!”
ng Chunyan was about to argue further when suddenly, there was a loud clank.
The wheel that had been so difficult for the coachn to put back on fell off again.
The falling of the wheel wasn’t the main issue, it was that the carriage leaned to one side, and the carriage cabin tilted along with it.
The items inside the cabin tumbled out, so of them rolling to Lin Yuan’s feet.
The old carriage cabin, which had been refurbished with new paint, couldn’t withstand this second collision and cracked open, revealing the sowhat rotten old wood inside.
ng Chunyan saw for herself the true state of her carriage without anyone else pointing it out.
At that mont, she had lost all face.
The spectators all laughed, and a few who had followed from the main street raised their voices, “I told you just now, it was this useless carriage that hit the other person first, and now it’s even trying to bite back, how shaless.”
The ng family rely sold liquor and could not match the wealth of Fuman Building or Jin Mansion, nor the power of Li Chang.
Naturally, no one would be intimidated by her now, and as ng Chunyan was already in such a miserable and embarrassing state, they spoke even more insolently.
Now that the truth had co out, even her own coachn and maid felt guilty, their faces red as they tried to sneak away.
But ng Chunyan, unmoving, clung shalessly to her position.
However, Lin Yuan wasn’t watching her; her eyes were fixed on the food box that had rolled to her feet.
A red paper stuck to the food box bore the words “Century-old Cake Shop.” Although she had never bought pastries from the Century-Old Cake Shop, she was very familiar with the packaging; many people on the streets carried such boxes when her Rice Flower Fragrance was falsely accused.
A thought crossed her mind.
If ng Chunyan was delivering herself into the trap, she wouldn’t hold back.
Her small hand squeezed the dicine pouch concealed in her sleeve, and the powder of Five Stones Powder gathered in her palm.
“Miss ng, you are behaving rather strangely today,” Lin Yuan said, looking at her with so confusion.
“What’s strange?
I’m fine!” ng Chunyan snorted, wishing she could kick this despicable girl away.
Lin Yuan shook her head and turned to ng’s maid, “Isn’t your miss acting a bit odd today?
Usually, she’s so attentive to her image, yet today she appears here in such a manner.
Isn’t that a bit strange?”
Lin Yuan’s words seed to partly excuse ng Chunyan’s behavior.
ng might be foolish, but that didn’t an the people around her were.
The maid hurriedly nodded, “Yes, yes, the young lady is right.
My miss is never like this on normal days.
She’s exceptionally gentle and treats people kindly.
She has never been as pressing and agitated as today.”
