Chapter 297: Overestimating Their Capabilities (1/2)
Bai Luochu felt that Elder Li was a man with a lot of experience.
As Elder Li droned on, Bai Luochu tuned him out. When he was done narrating his life experience, Bai Luochu finally managed to buy all the medicinal ingredients she needed. By the time she left the Hundred Herbs Hall, it was already evening.
When she left, Elder Li’s words echoed through her mind. She wasn’t as sad as before but she walked rather quickly. She wasn’t able to hide the restless feeling in her heart.
”Lass Luo Chu, listen to my advice. You will never get the chance to turn back time. If you miss the chance, some things may be lost forever. You need to think it through.”
What is he talking about?! What do I need to think about? The betrayal in my previous life? Pei Qingfeng’s friendship with me?
Bai Luochu felt that her mind was in a mess. With her mind in a chaotic state, it was difficult for her to avoid trouble.
“Give way! Hurry up and give way!” A carriage blazed a trail down the path which was already narrow to begin with. Even though the pedestrians were cursing under their breath, they jumped aside to make way for the carriage. Bai Luochu was the only one left in the middle of the road.
Luckily for her, the coachman didn’t want to be pinned with the crime of a murder. Even though he was in a hurry, he jerked the reins of the carriage causing it to come to an abrupt stop. He stopped the horses right before a tragedy happened.
Even though the carriage had stopped, the curses flowing out of the coachman’s mouth was as smooth as a river.
“Are you crazy?! Even if you wish to commit suicide, go do so at the side of the road! Why are you blocking the path of a carriage from the Prime Minister’s residence?! If you startle the members of the Prime Minister’s residence, you are screwed!”
Bai Luochu didn’t even notice that the coachman was cursing at her. She only discovered that she was the target of his insults when she saw everyone pointing at her. She finally snapped out of her daze and turned to look at the coachman.
Whatever the case, a carriage shouldn’t be thundering down the city center. Bai Luochu wasn’t someone who would take a scolding passively. She quickly retorted, “The Prime Minister residence is really amazing… you allow your horses to run about in the crowded city center without regard for everyone’s safety. I discovered a newfound respect for the Prime Minister’s residence.”
Bai Luochu’s words stirred the hornet’s nest and discussions broke out in the crowd.
“Sigh, the Prime Minister’s residence is getting overboard. They are making use of the fact that they are from the Empress Dowager’s birth clan and think that they are above the law.”
“This Young Lady is really courageous. She knew that they were from the Prime Minister’s residence yet she dared to criticize them.”
“Nonsense. Out of everyone in the capital city, I thought the Prime Minister would be the last person to flout the law. I guess not.” Bai Luochu carried on with the sarcasm.
