Chapter 602 The Gentle and Refined Young Master

The people on the street quickly moved aside when they saw this, but the street vendors were not so lucky. Their goods were scattered all over the ground by the two carriages, and the whole street was in chaos for a moment.

Xie Shang's men also surrounded the carriage to protect it. At the moment the carriage was hit, Xie Shang and Jiang Fenghua collided violently, but fortunately the carriage was not overturned.

As soon as the carriage came to a stop, the merchants whose goods had been overturned surrounded it, shouting, "How did you drive this carriage? You've overturned all our goods! Pay up!"

"Yes, if you don't pay us compensation, we'll report you to the authorities. You're not allowed to leave."

At this moment, a cold male voice came from the carriage opposite, "Agu, get out of the carriage and see how much the people have lost. We will compensate them for the damage."

Agu quickly apologized to the surrounding vendors, "I'm sorry, the horse was startled. We'll compensate you for your losses, we'll compensate you for everything."

A-Gu then said to Lin Feng, "We will compensate you for the damage to your carriage. Are any of the people in your carriage injured? Should we call a doctor?"

Lin Feng managed to avoid the collision in time, preventing any actual damage to the carriage. Their carriage overturned a vendor's stall, and since the vendor offered to pay compensation and was very cooperative, Lin Feng didn't feel comfortable blaming them.

“Master,” he said.

"We're fine, let's go," Xie Shang said calmly.

Jiang Fenghua lifted the carriage curtain and glanced outside, then said to Xie Shang, "It's not right to just leave after hitting the vendors' goods!"

Xie Shang didn't say much. He happened to see a man in a black brocade robe on the opposite carriage looking at them.

The man nodded slightly and politely to them.

Jiang Fenghua stared at his face for a moment. His face was as smooth and delicate as white jade, and he had a gentle and refined appearance.

The next moment, he gracefully and calmly stepped down from the carriage and walked into the crowd to help the vendors pack up their things, and even apologized very politely.

Some exclaimed, "Truly, he is as handsome as jade, a peerless gentleman, what a warm-hearted young man!"

The vendors, who had been very dissatisfied, were no longer angry, and the people who received compensation were even more grateful to the man.

Compared to the carriage Xie Shang and Jiang Fenghua were riding in, everyone had a lot of complaints about them and said some very harsh things. "They damaged someone's stall and not only did they not pay for it, they didn't even apologize. I don't know who they are, so arrogant."

"They won't leave until they apologize! Their carriage damaged our stall, why should only this young master have to pay for it? They're bullying honest people!"

Soon their carriage was surrounded by the people.

Xie Shang frowned and said coldly to Lin Feng, "Lin Feng, go and take a look." They had also been hit by someone else's carriage; they were the victims.

Jiang Fenghua was a little embarrassed. She had clearly made a mistake, but now she was in the wrong. Prince Heng really had the temper of a spoiled brat.

She voluntarily got off the carriage and said to the people blocking the carriage, "I'm sorry everyone, my husband has a leg disability, so we didn't get off the carriage to apologize to you. We will compensate you for any losses you have suffered."

She then said to Lin Feng, "Although it was this young master's horse that was startled and bumped into our carriage, it was our carriage that overturned everyone's stalls. We should compensate them in full according to the amount of silver they owe!"

Seeing that the lady in front of them was beautiful and spoke politely, and having received compensation, they did not continue to make things difficult for her and all made way.

The young man in black robes stepped forward and bowed slowly to Jiang Fenghua. “I should be the one apologizing to you. My coachman didn’t drive the carriage properly, which caused you to crash into the vendors’ stalls. We should compensate everyone for the losses. Madam, there’s no need for anyone to pay compensation.”

The man in front of her was very polite, so Jiang Fenghua didn't say anything. "In that case, young master, you shall compensate the merchants for their losses."

Xie Shang gave the man a deep look, but he couldn't detect any ulterior motives in his eyes. His eyes were clean and pure, and his attitude was proper and polite.

Xie Shang said in a deep voice, "Madam, get in the carriage and let's go."

The man quickly bowed to Jiang Fenghua and said, "Madam, please go ahead. I will handle the rest."

The more the man acted this way, the more embarrassed Jiang Fenghua felt. "Then I'll have to trouble you, young master."

Once inside the carriage, Xie Shang lowered the curtain and said to Jiang Fenghua, "It wasn't our fault, why bother him?"

"It's just a polite remark," Jiang Fenghua explained.

Xie Shang then said, "You're just being polite when you say I have a disability in my legs?"

Jiang Fenghua's eyes flashed with embarrassment. "I said that to deal with the onlookers. You saw later that they dispersed. There's a saying that you can't hit a smiling face. When you're out in the world, you should put aside your princely status and go among the people to understand their lives."

Seeing that Xie Shang remained silent, she continued, "You're quite a boring person, aren't you? Besides handling official business, eating, and sleeping every day, do you have any hobbies or interests? Or do you have any friends? I don't think even my older brother counts as your friend; you two seem to have a superior-subordinate relationship."

Xie Shang pulled her into his arms again. "I don't need friends. I don't even have enough time to deal with official duties every day. I have Ruan Ruan, that's enough. I have no interest in dealing with other people. Ruan Ruan will always be by my side!"

Jiang Fenghua said, "I haven't thought about it yet."

"It's okay if you haven't thought about it before, let's start thinking about it now."

Jiang Fenghua fell into deep thought; she was still unsure what it would feel like to spend her whole life by his side.

She thought that only people who truly love each other could have the idea of ​​staying together forever. She didn't know him at all, so how could she be sure that she would love him? If they got married, she thought she would stay by his side as his wife.

Seeing that she was unwilling to talk, Xie Shang knew that she did not fully trust him yet, so he said, "You can think about it slowly. When we return to the capital, you will understand when you meet someone very important to you that we are destined to be together for all eternity."

Jiang Fenghua changed the subject, "Where does Your Highness plan to begin investigating Prefect Fan's embezzlement of disaster relief funds?"

"Wait a little longer."

"Wait for what?"

"The Imperial Envoy who is inspecting the disaster situation in Qingzhou," Xie Shang said.

"Has the Emperor sent an imperial envoy?"

Xie Shang explained, "We cannot ignore the disaster in Qingzhou. The imperial envoy is naturally me. If we want to dispel the rumors that Heaven is punishing the emperor with locusts, we must first ensure that the people have enough to eat and stabilize the emotions of the disaster victims."

"So, a batch of grain really will be donated to the people of Qingzhou five days later?" she asked again. "When did you start having people prepare the grain?"

"On the first day we left Zhushan Town, I sent a message back to the capital to have them prepare food to be transported here. Later, we visited several other towns and saw the situation there. This disaster relief effort must be handled personally by me."

He added, "At the same time, we also need to bring out the people who spread the rumors."

Jiang Fenghua thought of Bai Yuhan again, and she was still worried about her. "Let's go to Wangyue Restaurant. Bai Yuhan should still be there."
