Chapter 72: Frightened Horse
"Second Miss!" Shi Mi saw Yuan Ziyu coming and hurried forward to pay her respects.
"You have worked hard these days!" Yuan Ziyu said to Shi Mi with a smile.
If we say that Xunxiangzhai first became famous because of the Empress Dowager's decree, then after more than ten days, everyone who came to Xunxiangzhai to buy snacks completely fell in love with the snacks here.
I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but those who ate the snacks found that their complexion was much better than before. Even if they had some minor health problems, they would get better quickly!
As a result, word spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred, more and more people came to buy snacks.
Many people bought snacks from the shop, and the kitchen was overwhelmed at first. Yuan Ziyu sent Qingying to help, and only then was the supply just met. It was not until Liu Tao picked a few women from the farm and sent them over, and after they got familiar with the job for a few days, the situation in the kitchen finally eased. Yuan Ziyu asked Qingying to stay at home to look after the house, and he brought Qingzhi to the shop, intending to meet with Shi Mi to ask her some questions.
"Second Miss, you are too kind!" Shi Mi said hurriedly, "This is what I should do. Besides, if it weren't for the Second Miss, I don't know when my mother's illness would be cured. My mother has been talking about wanting to kowtow to the Second Miss herself!"
"How is your mother now?" Yuan Ziyu asked.
Speaking of Shi Mu's illness, Shi Mi was even more delighted: "It's gotten much better now. She doesn't cough all the time anymore, and she sleeps much better at night."
Yuan Ziyu nodded. The medicinal effect of the pills mixed with a little spring water was much weaker than drinking the spring water directly. In this way, there was no need to worry about arousing suspicion.
"Just let your mother recover from her illness in peace!"
"Yes, Second Miss!" Shi Mi was grateful and secretly vowed to do good things for Yuan Ziyu.
"Oh right!" Yuan Ziyu said casually, "I heard from Qingying that when you first learned to make dim sum, you learned faster than everyone else. But have you ever made dim sum at home?"
Shi Mi smiled embarrassedly upon hearing this: "Not entirely. My father's ancestors once passed down a cookbook, but it was too long ago and is no longer complete. I once wanted to try making all the recipes and snacks in it, but my family was not well off before, and I couldn't figure out many of the missing ingredients and quantities. I had to give up after trying a few times. Maybe that's why I got the hang of it faster than others!"
"So that's how it is!" Yuan Ziyou smiled and said, "This is our fate!"
"It is my good fortune to meet the second young lady!" Shi Mi said hurriedly!
At this time, Xiao Ying hurried from the front shop to the backyard, accompanied by a girl who looked like a maid: "Second Miss, this is the maid from the mansion. She said she has something urgent to talk to you about!"
Yuan Ziyou looked at the maid, who seemed familiar, and asked, "What's the urgent matter?"
The maid's face was pale. When she saw Yuan Ziyu, she knelt on the ground and said anxiously, "Second Miss, please go back to the mansion quickly. The eldest lady... the eldest lady suddenly fainted!"
"What!" Yuan Ziyou was shocked: "When did this happen?"
It was obvious that when she left the house, Liu was fine.
"It...it happened not long after the second young lady left the house!" the maid said hurriedly.
Yuan Zi was extremely worried and walked out immediately. As he walked, he ordered Qingzhi: "Prepare the carriage!"
"Second Miss!" The maidservant didn't wait for Qingzhi to speak, and hurriedly followed Yuan Ziyu: "Second Miss, I came here in a carriage, and it's right outside the shop!"
"lead the way!"
"Yes, Second Miss!"
Yuan Ziyu didn't think much about it, and hurriedly got on the carriage with Qingzhi and the maid. After the three of them got on the carriage, the coachman drove the carriage away from the shop!
When the two people sent by Huo Xifei to protect Yuan Ziyu saw this, they followed closely behind!
Yuan Ziyou was worried about Liu, so she asked the maid, "Have you called a doctor? What did the doctor say?"
"Go...go and invite him! I don't...know." The maidservant responded hurriedly with a thin layer of sweat on her forehead.
Yuan Ziyou glanced at the maid suspiciously. Just as she was about to ask another question, she heard Qingzhi exclaim, "Second Miss, this doesn't seem to be the way back home."
"What?"
Yuan Ziyu was startled and felt a little uneasy. He was about to ask the driver to stop when he heard a long neigh from a horse outside the carriage. Then, with the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, the horse broke into a gallop.
"Ah!" When the maid heard the noise outside, she wanted to run out of the carriage, but the carriage was shaking so violently that she couldn't stand steadily. She hit her head on the door and fell softly into the carriage!
"Second Miss, be careful!" Qingzhi's face turned pale. She held the window frame tightly with one hand and hugged Yuan Ziyu's arm with the other hand to pull her into her arms, trying to protect Yuan Ziyu.
But the carriage was shaking too violently, and the two of them were tossed back and forth. No matter how hard Qingzhi tried, it was in vain.
Yuan Ziyu knew at this point that she had fallen into a trap, but things had come to this point. Even if she was skilled in martial arts, she could not just jump down and watch the frightened carriage crash into the city. What's more, there was Qingzhi, and she would never abandon Qingzhi.
"Hold on tight!" Yuan Ziyu gritted his teeth, instructed Qingzhi, then broke free from Qingzhi's hand. He took out the dagger tied to his calf and stabbed it hard into the wall of the carriage. Using the force of the dagger, he jumped to the door, pulled out the whip from his waist, and grabbed the reins that were shaking as the frightened horse ran wildly.
"Second Miss!" Qingzhi exclaimed, but was unable to get close to Yuan Ziyu at all. Her eyes turned red with worry.
"Hold on tight!" Yuan Ziyu yelled at Qingzhi, then pulled the reins to try to control the frightened horse, while shouting outside, "Frightened horse, get out of the way, get out of the way!"
The unusual movement of the carriage had already alarmed the people around. When they saw the carriage rushing over, the people on the street immediately panicked!
"Ah... the horse is frightened!"
"Oh my god, that horse is crazy, get out of the way!"
"Get out of the way, get out of the way...get out of the way!"
"My stall!"
…
The panicked crowd dodged one after another, screams came one after another, and the place suddenly became chaotic.
The two people following the carriage only realized something was wrong when the coachman jumped out, but it was too late.
One of them angrily stepped forward, grabbed the coachman, threw him to another, and chased in the direction the carriage left: "Go and inform the prince, I'm going to look for the second young lady!"
"yes!"
At this moment, a woman's shrill cry was heard: "Ah... my child!"
“Oh no!”
The man's face changed and he ran over at a faster speed!
