Chapter 13 - A Startled Horse and a Carriage Crashed into the River (2/2)

A deafening sound was heard when the galloping carriage crashed into Wei Yuewu’s carriage. Whereas the former came to a stop after dashing a few steps forwards. The shaft wood of Wei Yuewu’s carriage was completely broken. The horse neighed as it lifted its front legs high, tilting the whole carriage almost vertical.

This street was near a river. At one side of the street, there was a wide river.

The horse galloped violently for a while and broke free from the disconnected shaft. Although the coachman jumped out of the carriage with agility, he only had time to pull the startled horse. The tilted carriage, however, without the strength that pulled it forward, immediately fell backward into the river…

All the people in the road stopped and cried in fear involuntarily as they watched the carriage falling into the river.

The heavy body of the carriage, with the wheels and four corners of its roof covered in iron, immediately began to sink fast. After the roof was submerged, the water swirled and rolled down. Needless to say, people in the carriage would definitely die!

All this happened so fast that the carriage completely disappeared in the river before many people were able to scream out.

The crowd were stunned as they stood there watching a small accident ended up in a bloody incident of crash and death!

Only the small carriage that followed behind stopped with full composure.

As she pulled open a crack silently from the curtain, Wei Yuewu glanced over the crowd and looked at the swirling vortex in the river. Her eyes became cold instantly. She moved her eyes and noticed a woman in the crowd was watching the scene with a smile on her face. The clothes the woman wore were clearly the same as those of those old women who had gone to pick her up.

The woman was from the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang…

Seeing the vortex in the river, the coachman who had caused the accident showed a flash of complacence in his eyes. After secretly giving a wink at the woman from the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang, he lifted the whip in his hand skillfully and was about to drive his own carriage away from the scene.

Once he left the street, got off the carriage and changed his clothes, even if people realized what had happened later, who could say that he was the perpetrator? Given his identity, nothing could ever happen to him as long as he was not caught on the spot.

However, it was only his wishful thinking. The coachman was just about to leave when he found that his horsewhip was grabbed by someone. He turned back and was pulled off the carriage before he was able to find out who was pulling his horsewhip.

The moment he fell hard to the ground, he was punched heavily on the back of his head…
