Chapter 14 - True or False? Are you a Coachman from the (2/2)

He would never admit he had any connection with the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang. That’s what someone from the mansion had specifically emphasized.

“Aren’t you? Then what’s the sign on the carriage?”

Wei Yuewu raised her eyebrows with a cold look. She pointed to the perpetrator’s carriage parked aside and asked.

Hearing this, the crowd turned to look at the carriage. A few men who had good eyesight immediately recognized a sign hanging in a corner of the carriage. Carriages from various mansions could be frequently seen on the street. And whoever had some social experience could recognize carriages from famous noble mansions.

The mansion of Marquis Hua Yang had produced not only a Great General but also a minister. It could be counted as a famous noble family by whatever standard.

“It’s the carriage of the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang!”

“Yes, it’s from the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang. I have seen it before.”

…

“How come a young lady from the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang was accidentally hit into the river by someone from the mansion and got drowned?”

…

A carriage from the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang hit the Sixth Miss of the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang into the river. Such a thing was odd enough. With this scene in front of them, anyone could tell there was something suspicious in it.

Wei Yuewu slightly bent her head, her long eyelashes casting ragged shadows on her jade-white face. With a cold and penetrating look, she asked calmly, “Who is your master in the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang? Why did you hit the Sixth Miss’s carriage into the river?”

Needless to say, it was she who had ordered Jin Ling to stick the sign to the carriage.

The coachman was surprised that a sign of the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang was tacked onto his carriage. For a moment, he froze and had a stiff face, looking at his carriage with unbelief. He had randomly chosen this carriage, which had no connection with the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang at all. How could there be a sign of the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang on it?

“This… this carriage is not from the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang.”

The coachman panicked, and anyone could conclude from his fluttered look that he was lying.

“No matter who your master is, you must explain it in the yamen later.”

Wei Yuewu’s eyes gleamed as she said coldly. She turned around and gestured to leave.

Behind her, Jin Ling took on an angry look. She stepped forward and said indignantly, “Who on earth from the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang was trying to harm the Sixth Miss? Our Young Lady had just entered the capital, and we heard all sorts of ill-intentioned rumors. And now, someone wanted to kill the Young Lady here. What was his purpose?”

Her eyes were wide open, and she rushed over angrily as if to seek justice for her mistress. Seeing that, the coachman from the mansion of Duke of Yan State released the perpetrator and stood aside to make room for Jin Ling.

Their movements created a gap for the perpetrator who had kept looking for an opportunity to escape. How could he let go of such a rare opportunity? He immediately bumped into Jin Ling. After all, she was just a maid and was not strong as the coachman from the mansion of Duke of Yan State.

Jin Ling exclaimed and leaned aside. She fell down and knocked down some onlookers incidentally, leaving a wider gap for the perpetrator. As an agile coachman, he bounded off in that direction immediately, knocking over several people, and instantaneously disappeared…
