Revenge of the Sixth Young Lady-Chapter 14 - True or False? Are you a Coachman from the

“Why did you hit me?” The coachman was beaten to see stars. He shouted angrily as he struggled to get up.

“How dare you bump the carriage from the mansion of Duke of Yan State into the river?” Wei Yuewu’s coachman was one of Yan Huaijing’s men. At this point, he fiercely punched that coachman who had just got up, directly knocking him down again.

“I ... I didn’t mean it.” The coachman was shocked and had the bad feeling immediately. He had not expected the carriage he collided with was from the mansion of Duke of Yan State. He only received an order to bump the Sixth Miss Wei’s carriage into the river, and didn’t know that the carriage belonged to the mansion of Duke of Yan State. He secretly felt resentful of the messenger who had not made it clear.

But under the circumstances, he could only hold on.

“Get up. Let’s go to the yamen.” The coachman from the mansion of Duke of Yan State would accept no excuse at all. He grabbed the perpetrator’s neckband and dragged him forward. His strength was so great that he pulled the perpetrator away from the carriage without much difficulty.

As soon as the perpetrator heard that he would be taken to the yamen, he became anxious. Without caring about himself being dragged on the ground, he grabbed the hands of the coachman from the mansion of Duke of Yan State and shouted, “It’s just a carriage. I didn’t hurt anyone. I’ll just give you a new carriage as compensation.”

Anyway, he would rather die than admit that he knew the Sixth Miss of the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang was in the carriage.

“To the yamen.” The coachman from the mansion of Duke of Yan State ignored him. He looked very determined that he would not stop until he pulled the perpetrator to the yamen. He kept pulling the perpetrator forward, and the two of them got farther away from the carriage.

“Brother, please don’t…” The perpetrator got panicked when he realized that man was serious. He relented, muffled his voice, and pleaded, “Brother, I didn’t mean to be careless. Look, we can settle the matter privately. You can ask for whatever you want. Anyway, it was not your master in this carriage. Even though something happened, you won’t be blamed anyway.”

The coachman from the mansion of Duke of Yan State stopped when he saw they were far away from the carriage. Then he asked harshly, “Did you know that the Sixth Miss of the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang was in the carriage?”

Their brawling had made a scene there and drawn the attention of people walking by. All of a sudden, everyone gathered around them, and the two coachmen were surrounded by the crowd, who all heard their last words.

The Sixth Miss of the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang? It was said that she was neither talented nor beautiful.

In the crowd there were some onlookers who had heard of Wei Yuewu. They immediately explained to the people who didn’t know what was going on. Everybody talked at once, and they gossiped about Wei Yuewu’s life and appearance. Of course, they learned about her look basically from hearsay, and there were so many of them! Very soon, more and more people gathered around.

Now nobody noticed the small wagon that followed behind!

Seeing the perpetrator was surrounded, the maid servant of the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang panicked. She looked around, unable to decide whether to go back immediately to send a message or not. Finally, she decided to stay and see the development so that she could report the result to the Second Lady.

Just then, Wei Yuewu stepped out of the carriage!

Jin Ling returned to Wei Yuewu’s side. No one noticed that Jin Ling had quietly pushed her way to the scene where the perpetrator’s carriage was…

“I don’t know who was in the carriage. But since the accident had happened, and it wasn’t your master that got hurt, we could have a good discussion about dealing with it.”

Of course, the coachman was not stupid. He knew that at this time, he could never admit that the Sixth Miss of the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang was inside the carriage. He could only explain that he didn’t know anything, and right now he just wanted to settle this matter privately.

He clearly showed the intention of giving money away to buy safety, and looked as if he would do anything, as long as the coachman from the mansion of Duke of Yan State was willing to settle it privately.

“Are you a coachman from the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang?” A weak and cold voice asked.

The coachman looked up in astonishment and saw a petite young lady standing in front of him. For a moment, he didn’t take her seriously, thinking that she was just a passer-by. He disdainfully waved his hand and said, “Young lady, you are mistaken. I am not a coachman from the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang.”

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...
