Chapter 18: Stumbling Block
"Whoa!"
Yuan Siyin was distracted for a moment when she heard a panicked scream and the screeching sound of the carriage screeching to a halt.
"Don't you have eyes?!"
The coachman pulled on the reins and cursed loudly.
Yuan Siyin subconsciously tightened her grip on the reins, intending to apologize, only to realize that the voice was coming from ahead.
A group of people surrounded the carriage, and the two sides immediately started arguing.
"We were walking along the street perfectly fine, and it was clearly you who rushed out from the street corner!"
"Nonsense! It was clearly you who charged in!"
"What happened?"
A slender woman in blue lifted the curtain and, with the help of her maid, gracefully stepped down from the carriage.
"Miss, please be careful not to fall."
The woman nodded gently with a reserved air, her face hidden behind a round fan, her eyes filled with aloofness and a subtle hint of disdain.
"Second Miss, this group of people just rushed up without saying a word and accused us of hitting someone! They were the ones who fell in front of the carriage!"
When the coachman saw Shen Ruolan get off, he immediately went up to her in a fawning manner.
"Huh, so this is the second young lady of the Grand Tutor's family? She is indeed elegant and refined!"
Second Miss?
Yuan Siyin dismounted, held the bridle, and craned her neck to listen to the gossip of the people in front of her.
"There's no mistake, this Miss Shen is the number one talented woman in the capital, there's no one else like her, and she's definitely one of the top beauties on the list!"
"So, does that mean the number one on the beauty list is someone else?"
"Tch, don't even mention it, it's bad luck! You must be new here from out of town, of course you haven't heard of it."
The eldest daughter of the Yuan family, who tops the beauty list, is indeed a beauty, but a femme fatale!
The man pointed and gestured.
Yuan Siyin: ?
So this is how it begins?
Dude, what you do, the person being talked about is watching from behind!
"You have no idea what that person's reputation is like, tsk tsk."
He mysteriously raised his finger and shook it.
"What? Could it be... a long history of misconduct?"
"More than that! It's absolutely terrifying!"
In short, Miss Shen the Second is simply incomparable to the eldest daughter of the Yuan family.
Yuan Siyin took a few deep breaths, trying to calm herself down.
After all, we are indeed weak, right?
However, at that very moment, something extraordinary happened.
Ta Xue turned around with a "whoosh" sound, and shoved the hoof right into the precious buttocks of the person in front of her.
Yuan Siyin: "..."
Very good.
Treading on the snow, you are this, thumbs up.
She ruined what little reputation she had left!
Now look what's happened, I'm in arrears.
How can a horse be more arrogant than its owner?
The posture is so practiced, it seems like you've done this quite often.
Yuan Siyin felt utterly hopeless.
I never imagined that even a horse could become a stumbling block on my path to survival.
Who is it?
The man was kicked and landed sprawled on the ground. He had just gotten up, cursing and swearing, wanting to argue his case, when he saw that the person behind him was Yuan Siyin, he immediately slunk away.
Yuan Siyin: "Hey you!"
Don't go! Do you need compensation?
However, upon hearing her cry, the man ran even faster.
Yuan Siyin was somewhat moved.
As expected of people from ancient times, they were so simple and honest, without any awareness of the dangers of extortion. If it were her... well, she wouldn't do such a thing either.
The truth is, someone did indeed stage an accident, and by sheer coincidence, it happened to the original owner of this body. The original owner then whipped the person in the street until they were crawling all over the place.
This incident was passed down by word of mouth among the vendors who witnessed it, and even three-year-old children knew that you should never bump into people on the street, especially women, particularly women who are beautiful in red and have a whip in their hands.
@Yuan Siyin.
