Chapter 188: Hit Someone
"Madam is wise."
Hong Er flattered him, "Mr. Liu was stripped of his official position by the Queen Mother because he failed to manage his family properly. It just so happened that something like this happened to the second son of the Chang family, so he took advantage of the situation and wanted to make a big deal out of this matter.
The master of the Liu family had no reason to personally deal with the Chang family, let alone stop the second son of the Chang family from taking a concubine. That’s when he thought of the third young lady and wanted her to go over and make a big fuss about it.”
"Gu Jinqing is really stupid. She didn't even realize she was being used. I'm afraid she still feels how wronged she is."
Tong Er sneered, "Madam is right. The little maidservant that the Third Miss bribed said how much the Second Young Master of the Chang Family had wronged her. She is going to cause a big commotion in the Chang Family..."
Liu Tianshu asked curiously, "Where is she now? Has she arrived at the Chang family?"
Gu Jinqing looks gentle and virtuous, but in fact she is a hot-tempered little pepper. She can make even the most unreasonable things make sense. Not to mention that she thinks she is right this time, which will only make the matter worse.
Liu Tianshu didn’t know what Hou’s mood was at the moment, but she was looking forward to seeing Gu Jinqing at this moment.
Compared to Liu Tianshu's ease, Hou was extremely anxious, fearing that Gu Jinqing would make a scene at Chang's house without caring about the situation, making it impossible to resolve the matter.
On the way here, Hou directly asked Gu Jinqing how she knew about this matter. She even cursed the little maid who told Gu Jinqing about this matter a thousand times in her heart, but it was still useless.
Seeing that the Chang family was just one more intersection ahead and she still hadn't caught up with Gu Jinqing, Hou became more and more anxious and kept urging the driver to speed up.
It was broad daylight now, and the streets were busy, so the driver did not dare to drive the carriage too fast.
Just when Hou was getting anxious, the driver suddenly said, "Madam, I saw the third young lady. She is right in front."
"Quick, catch up with her. We can't let Miss San go to the Chang family no matter what."
After receiving Hou's order, the coachman drove the carriage faster, but before the carriage had run ten meters, the coachman suddenly stopped the carriage.
"Xu..."
"What happened? Why did the car stop suddenly?"
It was not the coachman who answered Hou's question but the wailing of a miserable woman beside the carriage.
"Someone's been hit to death...Everyone, come and see, someone has hit someone..."
"How could I bump into someone..."
Hou was in a hurry to chase after Gu Jinqing and had no intention of paying attention to the person who was hit. She took out a silver note worth one hundred taels from her bosom and handed it out of the car window.
"Since you are still crying here, it is obvious that your injuries are not serious. This hundred taels of silver will buy you medicine..."
When the woman outside the carriage heard that Hou gave a hundred taels of silver, she was happy at first, but she did not take the banknote from Hou and continued to sit on the ground crying.
The carriage that Liu Tianshu was riding in was some distance away from Hou's carriage, and she did not see the scene of the carriage hitting people. When she saw the accident ahead, she asked Tong'er to come over and inquire about the situation.
Hou was worried about Gu Jinqing, and seeing that the woman was unwilling to accept her one hundred taels of silver, she simply took the banknote back into her arms.
"Girl, ask your wife to come and handle this matter."
After Hou finished speaking, she told the driver to drive away.
The one hundred taels of silver that had been obtained were gone just like that, and the woman who was hit naturally disagreed.
"Everyone, come and see, a rich man hit someone and left without even showing his face. This shows that he doesn't take the lives of ordinary people seriously..."
As the woman's wails grew louder, more and more people gathered around to watch the fun. At this moment, the carriage could not even move, let alone speed up to catch up with Gu Jinqing.
Liu Tianshu didn't expect such an accident to happen on the way. She got off the carriage with the help of Tong'er and Hong'er and came to the outside of Hou's carriage.
"Madam, Sister Qing's matter is more important. I will take care of the matter here. You go find Sister Qing first."
Hearing Liu Tianshu's voice, Hou Shi seemed to hear the sound of nature. She lifted the carriage curtain and said arrogantly, "Poor bastard, get out of the way quickly. If you damage my carriage, you and your whole family won't be able to pay for it."
After saying that, Hou ordered the coachman to drive away, but she didn't expect that there were too many people ahead and the carriage couldn't move at all.
"You are a bunch of poor bastards, why don't you get out of the way."
"You are such a rude woman. You hit someone with your carriage but instead of apologizing or offering compensation, you cursed at him. Whose lady are you? You are so mean."
"You... you..."
"Fellow villagers, we are from the Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion. The person in front is the widow of the former Loyal and Brave Marquis. She went out for an emergency and accidentally hurt someone. My old lady didn't intend to ignore this lady, but just handed this matter over to me to handle."
Being scolded by a group of ignorant people, Hou was so angry that she jumped up and down. Just as she was about to continue scolding people in the carriage, she heard Liu Tianshu's gentle voice reaching everyone's ears...
