Allure of a Country Maiden
Chapter 387 - 385

Chapter 387: 385

"Brother Shangguan, shall we get going?" If he has the energy to scold his servant, I guess he’s fine.

"Sure." No one got killed, and he’s not one to meddle in others’ affairs.

The two turned around, prepared to go back to their own carriage, and leave.

"Wait! You can’t leave! You wrecked our carriage and hurt us, and you just want to walk away like that? No way!" The lady in pink saw Xiao’er and the others turn to leave, she hurriedly called out to stop them.

Shangguan Xuanyi and Xiao’er, hearing her words, continued on their way without pausing at all.

Her carriage was damaged when it collided with a tree, which had nothing to do with them. They certainly weren’t going to admit to something they hadn’t done. If she wanted compensation, she should go look for that tree.

How could the lady in pink let them leave like that? Their carriage was ruined, their horse injured, so she had to pin the blame on them and demand a new carriage. Otherwise, how were they supposed to get home in this freezing weather? Her mother told her that girls are extremely vulnerable to the cold; it’s bad for future childbearing if they catch a chill.

"Hey! You despicable couple! Your coachman was driving without looking at the road, causing our carriage to crash into a tree in order to avoid yours! Our horse is injured, our carriage ruined! And you just want to walk away like that? I swear I’ll report you to the authorities!" The lady in pink couldn’t be bothered about the servant anymore. She rushed over and blocked Xiao’er and Shangguan Xuanyi’s path.

The two of them must have been inside their carriage at the time and weren’t aware of the situation.

As for their coachman, she would say he denied everything because he was afraid they might punish him! Trying to shirk responsibility? No way!

She was dead set on getting that carriage!

A despicable couple? Where did this nutjob come from?

Xiao’er was completely incensed by her words: "Where did this mad dog come from, going around barking at everyone? Are you aware that a rabid dog on the loose can bite people?"

"Who are you calling a mad dog? You shameless tart! So young and already flirting with men!" Upon hearing Xiao’er’s insult, the lady in the pink dress became livid.

She secretly glanced at Shangguan Xuanyi. How could such a handsome man be with such a flirtatious woman?

Her mother always said that overly beautiful women are sly vixens, while genuine ladies of good families are modest and graceful!

"Feng Yang!" Shangguan Xuanyi’s expression was as cold as ice as he spoke.

The lady in pink was scared by Shangguan Xuanyi’s icy demeanor and unconsciously took a few steps back.

Feng Yang quickly moved to slap her twice across the face.

At the same time, Feng Yang lamented inwardly. Wasn’t slapping people what maids were supposed to do? Being one of the top-ranked soldiers in the cavalry, he had already fallen to the status of a coachman. Now he even had to do a maidservant’s job. If the word got out, wouldn’t his reputation be ruined?!

If his reputation for hitting women got out, would he ever be able to find a wife?

Shangguan Xuanyi glanced at Feng Yang, then looked at the woman in the pink dress who was now swollen like a pig and missing several teeth, his eyes narrowing dangerously.

He had wanted Feng Yang to cut out her tongue initially, but now that she had lost a few teeth, wouldn’t that be appropriate punishment? After all, aren’t women most concerned about their appearances? She probably couldn’t stand her own hideous sight.

This result was barely acceptable.

The woman in the yellow dress hurried over and performed a curtsy towards Shangguan Xuanyi and Xiao’er: "Sir, miss, I sincerely apologize for our rudeness. If we have offended you, please forgive us."

"Finally, someone speaks like a human being!" Jingrui came over and said at this point.

The woman in the yellow dress blushed at his words. Her cousin was spoiled by her parents, and had always been unreasonable and arrogantly domineering. Today, she had met her match.

"How can you apologize while they’ve ruined our carriage and hit me?"

"Miss, are you out of your mind? It’s clear that your horse slipped on the icy road, causing the carriage to overturn and hit a tree. If I hadn’t dodged quickly, we would have ended up like that broken tree." Feng Yang pointed to the broken tree and couldn’t help making a sarcastic remark.

Du Yijin listened to his words and curtsied again: "I’m truly sorry. Due to the icy road, our horse ran too fast and fell, and the carriage also overturned. Fortunately, it didn’t hit you. My cousin was not aware of the situation and spoke without thinking! I apologize on her behalf."

"Du Yijin, how could you side with outsiders instead of me! It’s their fault our carriage crashed! And these people dare to hit me, I will definitely have my aunt’s husband throw them into prison, and execute them! And now you have to compensate us for our carriage!" The woman in pink continued until she realized her words were slurring, and quickly covered her mouth.

Yijin slightly furrowed her brows upon hearing this. This half-sister really lacked even the most basic social skills, not knowing who she was really helping. And why did she bring up her father? Was her father that kind of person? Jailed and executed? She really had no filter.

"Arrogant!" Jingrui gave her a disgusted look.

"We should have hit you harder. Your carriage was wrecked by that tree. You better go find it for compensation!" Xiao’er glanced at her, truly unforgettable!

"Who’s your aunt’s husband?" Feng Yang asked curiously.

"My aunt’s husband is the Assistant Minister of the Imperial Secretariat! How about that? Scared now?" Hongxia looked at them, waiting for their apologies.

"Pffft!" What a big official! Feng Yang almost died laughing!

What an idiot! They all thought.

"Hongxia, behave!" The woman named Yijin scolded Hongxia sternly.

Hongxia, seeing this, dared not speak again.

Although she was her cousin, she was always a little afraid of this half-sister.

Hmph! I’ll deal with her when we get home! I’ll let aunt teach her a lesson! Although the uncle has a lot of affection for this motherless niece, the head of the Du Mansion is her aunt! Isn’t it easy to make her suffer a bit!

"My cousin lacks manners, I hope you won’t take offense." Du Yijin apologized to Xiao’er once again.

Her cousin might be foolish, but she wasn’t. The coachman who drove their carriage clearly knew martial arts! The identities of these people were definitely not ordinary. She hoped she hadn’t caused any trouble for her father.

Since the others had apologized, and the mad dog called Hongxia had been punished, Xiao’er wasn’t the type to hold a grudge.

She nodded at Du Yijin, then linked arms with Shangguan Xuanyi: "Brother Shangguan, let’s go, otherwise they might start to worry."

Call herself a Tart! She’s not blind, she noticed that woman sneak a few glances at her man!

Shangguan Xuanyi looked at the little white hand that had deliberately hooked onto his arm, and the corners of his mouth curled up uncontrollably.
