Chapter 1958 Accident

Shao Yunduan smiled helplessly and had to give up.

Poor him, he was so happy to take his wife out to enjoy the lanterns, but she was taken away by someone. Fortunately, they had already walked for most of the night, otherwise they would be even more depressed.

Since Qiao Xuan was taken away by Madam Jia, Shao Yunduan was too lazy to go to the teahouse alone. Sitting alone in the teahouse, watching the lights and other people's hustle and bustle, it seemed a bit too silly!

He decided to return the same way he came and simply went back.

Since the government dared to hold a grand lantern festival today, they had naturally made all kinds of preparations. The yamen runners were all arranged, and patrols at the city gates and other places were not missed. Qiao Xuan was accompanied by Lixia, Liqiu, and Mianmian, and Ah Ye led people to follow secretly.

Shao Yunduan was also secretly followed by Sun Bai and his men, so there was no problem with his safety. Shao Yunduan was not worried.

Shao Yunduan never expected that just strolling around for a while would cause trouble.

He was walking along normally, but there was a shove from the side and he had no time to avoid it. As a result, he bumped into a woman in the chaos. The woman screamed and staggered back, and by chance, an exquisite glass lamp in her hand fell to the ground and broke.

Shao Yunduan felt a little embarrassed.

Fortunately, he was dressed in ordinary clothes and went to the lantern market today, so no one knew who he was. Otherwise, it would not look good if someone saw him, a prefect, breaking a girl's lantern.

In order to avoid suspicion, Shao Yunduan did not contact the woman. He directly called Sun Bai from the crowd and asked him to deal with the aftermath and compensate the girl with money.

Afterwards, Shao Yunduan left decisively.

The girl's expression froze for a moment.

Lord Shao didn't even look at her?

Sun Baiyi has always been impartial in his work, and after all, he came from the Prince's Eastern Palace, so he has heard a lot of gossip in the palace and the residences of various princes and nobles. Even though there were many people pushing and shoving, it just happened that the lady bumped into the master just a short while after the lady left, and the glass lantern in her hand was broken by coincidence, which was very strange no matter how you look at it.

The way he looked at the woman seemed even more unfriendly.

"Miss, how much is this glass lamp worth? I will compensate you according to the price."

The girl forced a smile and said, "You can't blame the young man just now. It was my own carelessness. I am also at fault. How can I ask you to pay for it?"

"Miss, you are too polite. Our master doesn't like to owe others anything. It's better to pay it back!"

No compensation? It's a good thing to say now, but who knows if there will be something unclear later? If it's not resolved on the spot, it will be hard to explain later.

It would be fine if Shao Yunduan did not have the status of prefect.

But precisely because of this identity, this kind of matter must be handled clearly.

The girl smiled and tried to refuse again, but she couldn't. Unexpectedly, she saw that several people who had pushed her before had not left yet, and were pointing and talking about something nearby.

The girl actually glared at them, pointed at them and said angrily, "It was you who pushed me just now. That's why I accidentally bumped into that young man and broke the glass lamp. You should pay for the glass lamp! Xiaoyi, Xiaochun, don't let them go, make them pay!"

The two maids beside the girl were very angry and immediately agreed and ran over to accuse them and demand compensation. The two sides soon started arguing and the atmosphere was filled with tension.
