Chapter 241 Unexpected Disaster

Seeing that Lin Yuesha was also a talkative person, the driver talked a bit more.

Driving a horse-drawn carriage sounds simple, but it's actually a skill.

Recently in the prefectural city, there was an old coachman who took on several female apprentices, but the coachman looked down on them.

"It's not that I look down on women, but they lack stamina and have no sense of direction. They're quite daring, though; they've crashed into people several times this month."

The coachman held women in great contempt for this profession, believing that women should stay at home embroidering and not show their faces in public, and that they should always strive to be the best in everything.

Lin Yuesha felt awkward and didn't know how to comment. When the driver talked about female drivers, it was similar to how modern men discriminate against female drivers. In short, there were a lot of reasons and excuses.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! The carriage is out of control!"

Chaos erupted ahead as a carriage veered from one side into the middle of the road, causing the people to scream and scatter in panic.

The coachman was still boasting and hadn't come to his senses. By the time he tightened the reins and tried to change the direction of the carriage, it was already too late.

The moment the two carriages came face to face, a crisp cracking sound was heard. The carriage Lin Yuesha was sitting in, after the violent impact, broke apart and fell apart.

Ouch!

The massive impact sent Lin Yuesha flying out of the carriage and landing with a thud on the stone slab, causing her to wince in pain.

The driver had been boasting about being an experienced driver with excellent skills, but this fall could have been fatal for her.

The incident happened suddenly, and the driver was caught off guard. He was thrown to the ground by the horse and almost trampled by its hooves.

"Miss, Miss!"

Bai Cha was also badly hurt when she fell. She was worried about Lin Yuesha, so she got up from the ground and looked around for her.

"I'm here."

Thankfully it was winter, and Lin Yuesha was dressed warmly when she went out. Even so, she guessed that her knees were also chafed and in a lot of pain.

The culprit's carriage was parked not far away, attracting a crowd of onlookers.

The master and servant helped each other to their feet. Lin Yuesha felt a pain in her palm. Looking down, she saw that she had been cut by a piece of broken stone when she fell, and it was bleeding quite a bit.

She went out and encountered such a terrible thing. What bad luck she has!

"Jixiang, help me down from the carriage."

The culprit's carriage was very ornate, clearly belonging to a wealthy family's female members.

"Miss, no, there are too many people here, and we might accidentally bump into you."

The maid named Jixiang showed her disapproval. It was indeed their fault just now, but the horse suddenly got startled, which was beyond the control of the coachman.

Fortunately, only one carriage was damaged, and the people inside seemed to be unharmed.

Is this how I've always taught you?

The young lady, who had just been speaking gently, became more serious. "We must apologize to them and compensate them for the medical expenses."

After the young lady finished speaking, she had another maid, Ruyi, help her down from the carriage, while Jixiang followed angrily.

Our young lady is so good-natured. She's clearly the daughter of the prefect. Even if someone was killed, it wasn't intentional. Why should she apologize to ordinary people?

Although unwilling, Jixiang dared not disobey, so she quickly took off the chair and jumped down first.

Lin Yuesha sat on the ground in a disheveled state, leaning against Bai Cha and panting, coldly staring at the three people who got off the other party's carriage.

Faced with this sudden and undeserved disaster, Lin Yuesha couldn't possibly put on a pleasant expression.

"Miss, look, she's glaring at you."

Seeing Lin Yuesha's expression, Jixiang immediately stood up and angrily retorted.

Who is her young lady? She is the daughter of a prefect, a person of high status. She took the initiative to lower herself and apologize, but unexpectedly the other party gave her a hard time.

"Jixiang, don't talk nonsense."

Bai Youran reprimanded them, saying that they were the ones who were in the wrong first, so it was understandable that others had some complaints.

"What do you mean? Am I so unjustly suffering this misfortune that I don't even have the right to express my dissatisfaction?"

Lin Yuesha was furious. The young lady, who was being protected by her maid, had a quiet and gentle demeanor and should have a good temper, but unfortunately, she couldn't control her servants and let a dog bark at her.

Regardless of the other person's identity, shouldn't we be reasonable? She is the victim, and the other party is apologizing. Is this the proper attitude for an apology?

"you……"

Jixiang had never seen anyone so arrogant. In the prefectural city, when had her young lady ever been talked about like this? At every banquet, she was always surrounded by everyone, treated like royalty.

"Who do you think you are, daring to speak to my young lady like that!"

Jixiang jumped up and down, but she just fell down. Why is she making such a fuss? It's not like she lost an arm or a leg!

When Lin Yuesha transmigrated to the Great Qi Dynasty, what she hated most was using one's status to bully others. No matter what her status was, she was always more noble than a slave with a death contract.

“Miss, I remember now, that carriage belongs to the Prefect’s rear office.”

Bai Cha stared at the carriage for a moment, then suddenly remembered something. She had been working for Huang Ya Ren for some time, and the people from the prefect's residence had come to buy a young maid before, so Bai Cha had a vague recollection of it.

I heard that Bai Youran, the daughter of Prefect Bai, just turned 18 this year. She is humble and polite and has a good reputation. This must be the woman in front of me.

"I see, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to raise such an arrogant creature."

Lin Yuesha scoffed. Although she liked good-natured people, she hated masters who couldn't even control their servants.

There are only two possible reasons: either the maid is arrogant and the young lady condones it to highlight her own magnanimity, or this Miss Bai is a true saint with a soft heart who can't control her servants.

In any case, she had no interest in either point, so Lin Yuesha decided to stop arguing, accept her bad luck, and stay away from the three of them.

It's not a good thing to offend the prefect's daughter so soon after arriving; one should always avoid her sharp edge.

Lin Yuesha sighed. Forget it, she'd better marry a nobleman. That way, she could be high and mighty and wouldn't have to put up with this kind of humiliation.

"Jixiang, step back!"

Bai Youran's expression suddenly turned serious. She stared coldly at her maid and said, word by word, "You have overstepped your bounds."

"Miss……"

Jixiang blinked, then suddenly realized that she had assumed the other person was an ordinary person, so she had become smug and talkative. Her young lady, however, could not tolerate bullying others.

"Go back to the manor and go to Granny Bai to receive your punishment. I can't keep you here any longer."

After Bai Youran finished speaking, she stopped looking at Jixiang. Jixiang took two steps back and sat down on the ground with a thud, her eyes vacant.

Yes, Miss values ​​rules the most, how could she forget that!

Right now, her young mistress is still angry, so she certainly can't plead for her.

Jixiang gave Ruyi a wink, but Ruyi ignored it; she couldn't help.

"Miss, I apologize for my maid's rudeness."

Bai Youran explained to Lin Yuesha that they had been rushing out to run errands that day, and the coachman saw a child on the road. In trying to avoid the child, he startled the horses, causing the carriage to veer into the middle of the road. It was a last resort.
