Chapter 146: Another Accidental Encounter (1/2)

Shi Yumei could hear the implications behind Sang Wan’s words and her head throbbed from anger the moment she saw the mockery in her eyes. She gave a scorn and climbed into the carriage without turning back. Why? She was aggravated and wanted to give Sang Wan some trouble. Who knew that this would only upset herself more instead!

With a last guilty gaze from the driver, the horse carriage quickly disappeared into the rowdy city.

“Eldest Missy really ——”

“Liu Ya!” Sang Wan said sternly and glared at Liu Ya. Even if a master had faults , a master was still a master, and a servant was never in the position to criticize them. If word were to spread into Shi Yumei’s ear, Liu Ya would definitely suffer greatly.

Liu Ya’s complaints stopped immediately and she lowered her head.

“Sister Sang Wan, I’m sorry! It’s my fault for causing trouble for you——” Shi Lian’s eyes were red as she gave a bitter smile.

“Don’t say that!” Sang Wan felt bad and patted Shi Lian’s hand lightly, “If not for me pulling you along, you wouldn’t have been injured! Does it hurt a lot? Can you still walk?”

Shi Lian shook her head, “Sister Sang Wan shouldn’t say that, it has got nothing to do with Sister Sang Wan!” When she tried to move her leg, an excruciating pain struck her and her foot could not support her at all. With a muted cry, she fell heavily on Cai Yun and they almost fell onto the ground. She smiled wistfully, “Sister Sang Wan, I——”

“Bear with it a little, we will get a carriage and bring you to see the doctor!” Sang Wan saw how her lips were bit so tightly that they almost bled and how there was a thin layer of sweat with stray strands of hair stuck on her forehead.

“Sister Sang Wan, don’t worry about me, I can still bear with this.” Shi Lian felt so touched that her tears almost fell again. After her biological mother passed away, no one really cared for her other than Cai Yun. But now, she could see real concern on Sang Wan’s face.

“Silly sister of mine! Don’t cry, don’t be afraid! Your sister-in-law is here!” How could Sang Wan know what Shi Lian was thinking? From the looks of the situation, Shi Lian must be afraid and in great pain. Quickly, she hugged her and pat her back gently.

This street was in an uptown area. Almost everyone that shopped here would employ their own carriage. Those who rode rental carriages had no business being around here. Time passed and no rental carriages passed by. Sang Wan and the group waited for a long while but did not see any rental carriage.

Seeing how Shi Lian’s foot looked a little more swollen than before, Sang Wan could not help but become a little more anxious.

“Liu Ya, go to the nearby restaurant on the opposite side and ask if they havesedan chairs for rent. Ask the owner to send a chair to carry Third Missy and we will have a seat inside the restaurant. Also, have the waiter find us a horse carriage.” Looking at the splendid Zhenwei Restaurant, Sang Wan instructed.

Liu Ya quickly nodded, “Young Mistress, that’s a good idea!” She turned away and left for the restaurant.

Liu Ya crossed the street hastily. Her footsteps were quick and she accidentally bumped into someone right at the entrance of the restaurant.

“I’m sorry, I’m so sorry!” Liu Ya quickly bowed and apologised profusely.

“Do you have eyes, you brat! Who are you bumping into? Are you tired of living!” Before the man who was bumped could speak, the servant beside him had already scolded with a face full of contempt.

Liu Ya was offended by his insults so she raised her head to talk back. But just before she could, she heard a surprising voice coming from over her head, “Eh, it’s you!”

That came from the man she bumped into.

Liu Ya took a few steps back and looked at him with eyes full of distrust. Her pupils suddenly contracted and she glared at him in despise as she hissed, “Oh, it’s you, pervert! Please keep your dog under control and don’t let him bark like mad!”

“Who are you calling a dog!” The servant barked angrily.

“You answered it yourself, so why ask me!” Liu Ya sneered.

“You!” The servant pulled up his sleeves and rubbed his fists together.

“Back down, don’t be impolite!” Zhuang Weixian scolded his servant and took a good look a Liu Ya before asking with a smile, “Why are you here?”

The servant, Gao Wang, did not dare to disobey his master. He gave two grudging looks at Liu Ya before backing down. Liu Ya glared back at him challengingly before turning to Zhuang Weixian to say unhappily, “I go wherever I like and it’s none of your business!” After she finished, she headed directly to the counter that was by the side.

Zhuang Weixian smiled and walked over slowly with his hands behind his back, standing at a place not far from her.

Liu Ya could feel his presence so she turned around to give him a look of displeasure. However, the restaurant was a public place and she had no right to judge where others stood. Liu Ya did not want to create more trouble so she held herself back. She took out ten silvers and pushed it towards the counter discreetly before saying courteously, “Are there any available rooms in the restaurant? Can you book one for me?”

Before the shopkeeper could speak, Zhuang Weixian gave a slight chuckle and continued watching with curiosity.

The shopkeeper creased his eyebrows and he did not even glance at the note. He said indifferently, “There isn’t any left!”

“Oh no!” Liu Ya panicked and thought, “Then, how about a table in the main hall! Pick a table at the corner!”

“There isn’t any left!” The shopkeeper shook his head, and forced a smile as he guided kindly, “Missy,turn left after you exit and make a right turn after two streets. There are many small shops there. Missy, should ask over there!”

“That’s too far away!” Liu Ya shook her head, she looked across at the main hall and pointed, “Shopkeeper, there are clearly empty tables around, why can’t you book one for me?”

“Missy,” Belonging in the service sector, the shopkeeper remained courteous. He maintained a gracious attitude and explained patiently to Liu Ya, “The cheapest dish from our restaurant is around five silvers. If a meal does not cost a hundred silvers, an entire table would range at least between seventy to eighty silvers! If this missy still wishes to book a table, you may still do so!”
