Chapter 37 037 The coachman is gone!
As soon as Lingyi finished speaking, she waited for a while but saw no response from outside the carriage, and the carriage showed no sign of stopping. Frustrated, she yanked open the carriage door and shouted, "Stop the carriage! This is clearly the road to the western outskirts of the city—ah! Miss! The driver is gone!"
The area outside the carriage was deserted; there was no one there. It seemed the driver had noticed Ye Pianran's unease and abandoned the carriage to flee!
"That heartless bastard! How could he betray his master like this!" Lingyi cursed angrily.
The coachman had driven for Ye Pianran before, so they boarded the carriage without suspicion this time. But who knew he would do something like this to harm his mistress! Who ordered this? Was it Ye Bijun?
Just then, the horse, seemingly startled, suddenly reared up and galloped wildly into the mountains, carrying Ye Pianran. The wheels, far from the smooth road, immediately began to lurch and jolt. Lingyi cried out in alarm, nearly being thrown from the carriage, but Ye Pianran grabbed her hand at the last second and pulled her back.
Lingyi slumped into the carriage, terrified when she saw Ye Pianran reach for the reins: "Miss, you mustn't!"
"We have to stop the horses, or we don't know where they'll take us!" Ye Pianran said through gritted teeth. She gripped the reins tightly, trying to control the two horses. "Whoa! Good horses, stop now!"
Having no experience in driving a carriage, the horse naturally wouldn't listen to her. Instead, it reared up, trying to throw them off.
"Ah!" Ye Pianran was thrown backward and was about to crash into the sharp corner of the low table when Lingyi rushed forward to protect her and took the fall for her. She let out a muffled groan and immediately fainted from the pain.
"Lingyi!" Ye Pianran cried out in alarm, wanting to check on Lingyi, but she was jostled about and nearly thrown out of the house several times. After an unknown amount of time, the frightened horse gradually calmed down and brought Ye Pianran and the horse to a stop at the foot of a mountain called "Little Wilderness Mountain," about ten miles from the capital.
After the car came to a stop, Ye Pianran ignored the soreness in her body and hurriedly checked Lingyi's breathing. She found that Lingyi had just fainted and was not in any danger. She breathed a sigh of relief and looked down at herself.
After this upheaval, her hair is now disheveled and her clothes are in disarray, completely unlike the dignified appearance she had when she first left the Marquis's mansion. What's even more heartbreaking is that the dress that Gongsun Yuan had carefully prepared for her has been torn open with a long gash at some unknown time.
Clutching her torn skirt, Ye Pianran looked up at the desolate wilderness before her, her hatred reaching its peak.
She had been so careful, yet she still fell into their trap! They really went to great lengths to prevent her from attending the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, so that they could confirm the rumors about her infidelity at the banquet!
Good, very good. I wonder who bribed the coachman this time? Was it Ye Bijun, Aunt Song, or—Ye Yingrou?
"Miss..." Lingyi regained consciousness and let out a weak call, struggling to get up. "Miss, are you alright?"
"I'm fine. Come on, let me help you up." Ye Pianran bent down and helped her sit up.
After Lingyi sat up, she saw their surroundings and Ye Pianran's disheveled appearance, and immediately cried out anxiously, "Miss, are we going to miss Qionglin Garden?"
Stepping forward once more to grasp the reins, Ye Pianran's face was resolute: "We should still be able to return to the city in time!" They didn't want her to go, but she was determined to go! She wouldn't let those people succeed so easily!
