Xie Lingqin frowned and gestured for Zihe to ask.
“Miss, it’s the carriage from the Ministry of Personnel’s residence.” Zihe asked the coachman outside the curtain, then turned to look at Xie Lingqin with a somewhat solemn expression. “It is said that Qin Qi is dying, and right now, the Vice Minister’s wife is sending someone to take him to the Dong family’s residence for treatment.”
"Oh." Xie Lingqin nodded without paying much attention. "Let the driver pull over and let them go. Don't provoke the tiger and ruin your mood."
Zihe thought so too, and immediately gave instructions to the driver.
On the wide street, the bystanders immediately dispersed.
However, another disturbance broke out.
"You heartless bastard, are you trying to kill your elder brother? At a time like this, you're still blocking the way!" It was the high-pitched, shrill voice of the Vice Minister's wife.
Xie Lingqin knew without even looking.
However, the person she was criticizing was so familiar.
Lifting a corner of the window curtain, Xie Lingqin saw a young man standing in front of the carriage, his head drooping, being scolded by the wife of the Vice Minister. He seemed even thinner than that day.
"I'm sorry, Mother, I didn't mean to. I'll give way right away, I'll give way right away..."
Qin Xun immediately stepped aside.
The situation was already urgent, but the carriage had gotten stuck because of something Qin Xun had dropped, preventing it from moving. The Vice Minister's wife was already furious, and now, in a state of panic and anger, seeing her son lying dying inside the carriage, she no longer cared about decorum. She raised her hand and slapped Qin Xun, yelling, "You wretched son! You did this on purpose! You deliberately tried to kill my son! Why don't you just die...?"
The angry curses were heart-wrenching and extremely offensive, so much so that even those who came over to watch couldn't help but feel a little sympathy.
That's just bad luck.
He was carrying something and didn't see where he was going for a moment. The thing rolled off and got stuck in the car wheel, and to make matters worse, it hit his mother and older brother. This is really...
"Guards, guards... Quickly, quickly carry the young master to the Dong residence!" The Vice Minister's wife, having finished her tirade, shouted again.
"Madam, this won't do! The young master is seriously ill and cannot move. He must lie flat in the carriage; there can be no mishap."
Beside him, the old doctor from the Vice Minister's office was clearly trying to persuade him.
Upon hearing this, the Vice Minister's wife became even more agitated. "You bunch of good-for-nothings, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and go find the carriage!"
"Yes, yes, yes..."
The guards immediately dispersed.
One of the guards stopped and pointed to the side, "Madam, there's a carriage over there."
Inside the carriage, Xie Lingqin, Zihe, and Tridacna exchanged a glance and closed their eyes.
This is really...
"Whoosh." Suddenly, the tightly closed carriage curtain was quickly lifted by a hand, revealing a woman's anxious face to the three of them.
"I am a vice minister..."
When the person who lifted the curtain saw the person inside the carriage, their voice paused and their expression immediately darkened.
"Xie Lingqin, I'm going to kill you."
As she spoke, the Vice Minister's wife was about to jump onto the carriage, but Zihe skillfully tumbled off the carriage with a few quick movements.
The wife of the Vice Minister was so heartbroken that she cried out in despair.
A maidservant rushed forward to help him up.
"She...her...someone, she actually pushed me! Pull her down quickly!"
The Vice Minister's wife was both anxious and resentful. She wanted Xie Lingqin to die a horrible death, and she wanted the carriage.
Upon hearing the instructions from the Vice Minister's wife, the guards immediately stepped forward.
"We are the General's carriage, who dares to challenge us?" Zihe lifted the curtain and shouted in a clear voice.
The guards froze instantly.
General's Mansion?
"Yes, it was the young lady of the General's Mansion who hit me! I just wanted to borrow her carriage, and she pushed me off the carriage." The Vice Minister's wife immediately became pitiful and preemptively spoke.
They immediately put themselves in the position of the victim.
Zihe frowned as she looked at him.
"Madam Vice Minister, your son is so seriously ill, yet you still have time to put on a melodramatic show. You are truly capable."
Xie Lingqin's voice finally came from inside the carriage, each word deliberate and resounding.
The Vice Minister's wife, supported by her maid, was not flustered at all upon hearing this. Instead, she became furious. "Xie Lingqin, you know better than anyone why my son is so badly injured."
“Madam Vice Minister, I just happened to be going out and happened to run into you, so I know exactly why your son was injured.”
"you……"
"If you want to borrow the carriage, just say so, and I can lend it to you. But you not only offer no gift, but you also turn around and accuse me. Do you really think I, Xie Lingqin, am easy to bully?" Xie Lingqin's words were calm and composed, yet they clearly stated her innocence.
Upon hearing this, the Vice Minister's wife opened her lips for a long time, but then fell silent.
The crowd that had gathered around fell silent, all staring involuntarily at Xie Lingqin's carriage.
Yes, they could see it clearly. It was the Vice Minister's wife who was rude and tried to snatch the carriage, causing it to roll and fall to the ground.
"Ah...uh...it hurts..."
At that moment, Qin Qi's groans seemed to come from the carriage next to them.
The pain is felt in a mother's heart as her son is wounded. The Vice Minister's wife rushed to her carriage, crying out, "My child, my child..."
When someone nearby recognized the person inside as Qin Qi, they showed no sympathy whatsoever.
After all, they knew that the son of the Vice Minister had been abducting women and acting tyrannically in the capital.
It would be best if I just died here.
They even tried to steal Miss Xie's carriage from the General's Mansion. Like mother, like son; they're birds of a feather.
“Miss Xie, my brother is critically injured. Could you lend my mother the carriage so she can take my brother to Elder Dong for treatment?”
Just then, Qin Xun, who had been standing aside with his head down, silently enduring the scolding, suddenly cupped his hands and pleaded in front of Xie Lingqin's carriage.
