Although he knew the other party meant well, Li Chang'an still felt it was just a minor injury and there was no need to make such a fuss, especially since he had more important things to do.
This time, Feng Beichuan was truly angry. He wasn't angry that Li Chang'an insisted on going against him, but rather that this woman didn't care at all about her own life or death.
However, unable to vent his anger on Li Chang'an, he turned his attention to others.
"Where did you come from, in your carriage? Don't you have eyes?"
Feng Beichuan was seething with anger, and he immediately started cursing at the coachman.
When the coachman saw that the man looked like a demon, he was so frightened that he jumped off the carriage.
"This, this has nothing to do with us! I've already stopped the carriage, who knows how she fell?"
Although he felt wronged, for some reason, looking at the man in front of him, the coachman felt a nameless fear rising in his heart, and could only try his best to explain to him.
But clearly, his explanation did not satisfy Feng Beichuan.
"Where's your master? Why isn't he coming down yet!"
Feng Beichuan didn't want to waste any more words with the coachman. What angered him the most was the coachman's attitude. Such a serious incident had occurred, yet he didn't even offer any thanks or show his face.
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone saw a foot wearing a brocade shoe sticking out from the carriage.
Just by looking at the shoes, one could tell that the young lady sitting in the carriage was no ordinary person. So the onlookers began to whisper among themselves, guessing which family's daughter was sitting in the carriage.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Bai Ruohan was helped down from the carriage by Caiyun, and everyone naturally recognized that she was the legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's mansion.
Now, the onlookers were even more excited to watch the show.
These three are no ordinary people, and there are rumors circulating that the Regent has always been in love with Princess Yong'an. Now that his beloved woman has been injured, it is unknown whether the Regent will offend the Prime Minister's daughter for the sake of the princess.
Upon seeing Feng Beichuan, Bai Ruohan immediately wore a gentle smile, her face radiating warmth like peach blossoms in the spring breeze.
But who could have known that just a second ago she was burning with jealousy because she overheard Feng Beichuan's incredibly caring words to Li Chang'an in the train carriage?
Unfortunately, Feng Beichuan didn't buy into her act at all, and didn't even bother to glance at the woman.
"This humble woman greets the Regent."
Bai Ruohan bowed slightly to Feng Beichuan with utmost respect, displaying all the manners and poise expected of a young lady from a wealthy family.
Li Chang'an was surprised to find that the person opposite him was from the Prime Minister's residence. He couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, wondering if he shouldn't have gone out today.
Feng Beichuan, on the other hand, wore a sour face and didn't respond to Bai Ruohan's words.
The atmosphere around us instantly turned to freezing point.
Bai Ruohan knew she had made a fool of herself, and she couldn't help but feel angry again. However, in front of Feng Beichuan, she could only suppress her anger and try her best to maintain a smile on her face.
"Your Highness, are you injured anywhere? I bear some responsibility for this, so I'll send someone to take you to the doctor right away, and I'll cover all the expenses."
These words were spoken exceptionally well. Seeing Bai Ruohan's composed demeanor, everyone around couldn't help but praise the Prime Minister's daughter for being a person who knew proper etiquette and manners.
Feng Beichuan couldn't help but sneer, his tone unfriendly as he said, "Do you think we're short of your little bit of money?"
This one sentence left Bai Ruohan speechless. No matter how much patience she had, she could no longer pretend nothing had happened.
The smile on his face froze instantly, and the atmosphere turned cold once again.
"Alright, they really can't be blamed for this. Don't keep pressing them."
Li Chang'an finally reached his breaking point and spoke up to try and stop the war.
She was eager to get back and investigate the answers she wanted to know, and didn't have time to waste here with the two of them.
But her words infuriated Feng Beichuan, who turned around and said irritably, "Shut up!"
Now it was Li Chang'an's turn to be furious.
This person is utterly inexplicable!
Forget it. Let them be!
Thinking this, Li Chang'an was about to turn and leave when Feng Beichuan grabbed his wrist.
"If this isn't their fault, then I really don't know who else to blame! Miss Bai, can you honestly say that this has absolutely nothing to do with you?"
Feng Beichuan's tone became aggressive, and Bai Ruohan's heart tightened. Looking at the man's serious expression, she suddenly felt a little scared.
Could it be that my secret tricks have been discovered?
Bai Ruohan's heart pounded, but she wasn't quite sure. After considering it for a while, she decided to stick to her guns and quickly regained her composure. With a dignified smile on her face, she said calmly, "After all, no one can predict such an accident. However, I am willing to take full responsibility for treating Your Highness's injuries."
Seeing that the person was still stubborn and unrepentant, Feng Beichuan was too lazy to continue arguing with her. Without saying a word, he walked to an inconspicuous place and picked up something.
Everyone's attention followed Feng Beichuan's movements, wondering what he was up to.
"Miss Bai, take a look. Do you recognize this thing in my hand?"
As he spoke, Feng Beichuan raised the object in his hand, revealing a blood-stained shard of porcelain between his long, jade-like fingers.
At the same time, Bai Ruohan's expression changed instantly, and she remained stunned for a long time without uttering a single word.
Seeing the other party's reaction, Feng Beichuan became even more certain of his guess.
Li Chang'an's gaze was also drawn to the porcelain shard in Feng Beichuan's hand.
Could it be...?
A thought suddenly popped into Li Chang'an's mind, and his expression darkened. He then walked to his horse and began to inspect it.
Only then did she notice some scattered bloodstains on the ground, which looked like they had just been put there, especially where the horse was, where there were more bloodstains.
At this moment, the horse was still kicking its front legs incessantly, panting heavily from its nostrils.
Because this horse had always been by his side, it was exceptionally docile in front of Li Chang'an. It obediently accepted its master's inspection, showing no trace of its previous frenzied behavior.
Li Chang'an quickly found the problem: she found a fresh wound on the horse's right foreleg, and the blood on the ground was flowing from this wound.
