Chapter 38 - Hiring a car to beg for mercy
Yun Qianliang's gaze swept across Gu Yicheng and he could see her intelligence clearly, but she did not say a word.
”If you want to say it, say it.” Gu Yicheng pinched the center of his tired brow, supporting his head with one hand, he glanced at the weird person out of the corner of his eyes.
Yun Qianliang was slightly taken aback, but shook her head, ”I didn't mean to say.”
”Is that so?” Gu Yicheng sat upright, ”Just nice, I have something to say.”
Yun Qianliang gestured an invitation towards him, signalling to him to listen attentively.
'Recently... ' Just as Gu Yicheng started to speak, something unexpected happened.
A figure suddenly rushed to the front of the moving carriage and stopped in the middle of the road. Thirteen tightened his reins to stop the horse in front of him. Only then did he manage to avoid the tragedy that was happening on his horse.
The atmosphere inside the carriage was a bit ambiguous. Gu Yicheng used his arms to support the carriage, causing Yun Qianliang's body to feel as though she was trapped in front of him. She raised his head and sat, while he naturally lowered his gaze to look at her, as though he was gazing at his deeply.
”Master, Madam, are you alright?” Nervous greetings came from outside the car.
”…” Yun Qianliang hurriedly shifted her gaze away, steadied her mind, and said with a low voice. ”Thank you.”
The moment the change happened, Gu Yicheng reacted quickly, stabilizing the body before Yun Qianliang lost her balance, so her actions was inevitably the most suitable method.
Gu Yicheng withdrew his body and returned to his original position.
”Master, madam?” Another noise came from outside the car.
”No problem.” Gu Yicheng asked, ”What happened?”
Xiao Cui impulsively rushed out to stop the carriage, and when she saw the horse hooves raised up high, she fell to the ground in fright. She still had a lingering fear from the danger, her legs were as soft as noodles and she was unable to stand up.
Xiao Cui crawled to the front of the horse carriage while kneeling, and lay on the ground crying as she begged for mercy.
”Madam, Xiao Cui knows her wrongs. Please give him a chance.” Xiao Cui kowtowed and begged for mercy.
Hearing that, Yun Qianliang frowned.
Initially, because of some unforeseen event, the hearts of a group of people were in suspense. Because of such a thing, it was unavoidable that the commoners would watch. In just a moment after she frowned, the discussions of the commoners could be heard outside.
Gu Yicheng held up the attitude of watching a good show, and faintly smiled at the person who sighed, ”Qian Qian Qian, how do you plan to do this?”
”Send him away.” Yun Qianliang ordered.
She knew that she wasn't a good person. She had already made way by not returning the favor with the same methods towards the people who had harmed her. She should know how to appreciate this kindness rather than stop the carriage and beg for forgiveness in front of a crowd.
The majority of the people sympathized with the weak. Xiao Cui's actions were undoubtedly putting herself in a position of weakness and wanting her to compromise.
The Gu San was ordered to go forward to settle some matters, but Xiao Cui was too shameless and refused to leave. She allowed the Gu San to stop him, and using her men and women's defense to rush towards the horse carriage, the commotion became even louder.
Yun Qianliang sighed, and brushed off the hair at her temples, ”I'll go out and take a look.”
Yun Qianliang got up and got out of the carriage.
Gu Yicheng's extended hand froze in midair, his brows furrowed, as he retracted it.
