Chapter 290 The Situation is Stronger than People
But as they retreated, the opposite carriage was pressing forward. The distance between the two carriages was getting closer and closer, and they were about to collide. The coachman's face was full of fear. He thought the coachman on the opposite side must be a fool. They were about to collide. If the horses were startled, there were so many people here, and someone might die.
Tian'er lifted the curtain and looked out, then quickly came back and said, "Miss, the carriage opposite seems to be deliberately making things difficult for us. I'm afraid we're being targeted."
Song Ci pondered for a moment, then heard a horse neigh outside, and then the whole carriage began to shake violently.
"I'll take the young lady off the horse!"
Wanxiang tried hard to keep her balance and nodded, "You take the young lady down, I'll follow."
Fortunately, the horse had not completely lost control. The driver tried to calm the horse while waiting for his master to dismount. After everyone got off, Song Ci narrowed her eyes slightly. The aisle here was narrow, and people on both sides might not be able to see clearly what was happening, but she knew at a glance that someone was deliberately making things difficult for her.
I just don't know who this person is and what his intentions are.
The horse raised by Song Ci's family was selected by Pei Ji. It was the most docile horse. Even though the carriage on the opposite side kept pushing towards this side, it did not panic at all except for snorting a few times.
On the other hand, the driver on the opposite side whipped his horse hard as it moved forward, causing the horse to become out of control and its temper to become increasingly violent.
Seeing the horse constantly pacing in place, snorting, and even looking frantic, Song Ci frowned and asked, "Tian'er, do you have any way to calm the horse down? There are so many people here, and I'm afraid the horse will get agitated and hurt someone."
"There is a way, but these people...I'm afraid they are deliberately waiting for the young lady to take action."
"It's okay, I have my own way, just go ahead and do it."
Tian'er was extremely impressed by her determination.
"yes."
Soon, she came to the side of the horse and scolded it harshly, "You continue to whip the horse, do you want it to get out of control? There are so many people here, aren't you afraid of hurting someone!"
A trace of panic flashed across the driver's face, but he did not stop whipping.
Tian'er ignored him, moved to his side, snatched the whip and threw it to the ground.
Unfortunately, it was still a step too late. The horse had become completely irritable and started galloping.
Tian'er thought to herself, "Oh no!" There was a child looking around and eating a candied haws in the direction the horse was galloping. Without thinking, she rushed after him. With her strength, she grabbed the reins and held the horse tightly.
The horse was suddenly pulled back and tried to break free, and the scene was very chaotic.
With one last roar, it raised its hooves high and was about to step on the vendors nearby. Tian'er let go of the reins and immediately pushed the frightened vendor aside. She waited until she was sure that everyone was safe before pulling the horse again.
I don't know how she did it, but after getting close to the horse, she pinched its neck and rubbed it. Soon the horse fell down with a "thump", splashing dust all over the ground.
The people around were stunned, and then they all started cheering and called Tian'er a heroine.
"Thank you, lady, for saving my child." A woman rushed out from the crowd, holding her child and crying. She had only gone to buy vegetables, and her child was almost lost.
Tian'er was stunned for a moment, "It's okay."
The vendor rushed out from the side, picked up a handful of vegetables that were not damaged and handed them over. "Lady, I have no way to repay you. These are fresh vegetables grown at home. If you don't mind, take some back."
"Yes, yes, just take it. If you hadn't intervened just now, someone would have almost died!"
"Whose horse is this? It's really a disaster! He doesn't even think highly of his own horse."
"How dare you speak disrespectfully to my wife!"
The scolded aunt looked up and down at the nanny who was speaking, spat on the ground, and said, "What an old dog!" Then she turned around and ran away.
It was the first time that the nanny was scolded like this in public. She pointed in the direction where her aunt was running and shouted, "Catch her back to me!" But there was no one there!
Behind them walked out a lady in gorgeous clothes, her head covered with pearls and jade, her body covered with rings and bracelets that jingled, her face delicately made up, and a cold smile on her lips.
"I went out to worship Buddha today, but I didn't expect someone to be so bold as to attack my horse."
She raised her hand and said, "Go tell the authorities that someone injured my horse. Capture the person and interrogate him thoroughly."
As she spoke, she glanced at Song Ci with a look of indifference and disgust. Song Ci was sure that this was the first time he met this beautiful lady in front of him, but what was the disgust in the other person's eyes just now?
"Madam," she called out to the person who was about to leave, "just now your horse lost control and rushed over to hit my carriage, then lost control and rushed towards the crowd. If it weren't for my maid who happened to know some martial arts, I'm afraid your horse would have hurt someone."
She turned her head and looked at Song Ci with a half-smile, "So what? Who can be sure that it was my horse that hit your carriage? Maybe you provoked my horse, causing it to become so manic. My horse is extremely docile and has never been angry or anxious. Today is the first time. Moreover, this horse is of extraordinary origin, a BMW with excellent pedigree. Now that you have injured it, you still want to blame me."
After she finished speaking, she looked closely at Song Ci, but to her surprise, Song Ci was not panicked at all.
Why wasn't she panicking? Clearly, everything was pouring in her favor. Did she really think she could defeat herself? It was ridiculous.
Thinking that Pei Ji actually liked such a person, the disdain in her eyes became even stronger.
"You said we hurt your horse? That's easy. We just need to call someone out and we'll know who hurt the horse."
Her eyebrows were slightly raised, her red lips parted, and her tone was sarcastic and mocking, "I want to see who you want to ask to prove it for you."
"Is there anyone here who can testify for her?" The nanny shouted angrily, hands on hips. Under the threat of her eyes, no one dared to say a word.
The people around looked at each other, and it was clear that this young lady was a kind person. If her maid had not protected the child just now, the child would probably have been trampled to death by the horse.
But still no one stood up.
There was no disappointment in Song Ci's eyes, not even a trace of ripple. The current situation was within her expectations. The calmer she became and the less angry she showed, the more guilty everyone looked at her.
"Miss, we saved them, but they didn't even speak for us!" Wanxiang looked at the street vendor who had just been rescued with sparks in her eyes.
The vendor tightened his grip on the handful of vegetables, a look of bewilderment and guilt on his face. He was just an ordinary person, a vegetable vendor all his life, with a family full of elderly and children. The other man was clearly someone of status and wealth.
