stern wife

Chapter 171
Just when Wu Ziying was ashamed and angrily trying to find a crack in the ground, a girl pushed the door and walked in, followed by the woman who sold her body to bury her father on the street that day.

The woman is still dressed in plain clothes, but her figure is slightly plump. She thinks that she is living very well in Wu's house these days.

The first time she entered the door, she saw Pei Xiaoran, she was overjoyed immediately, and hurriedly stepped forward to bless Pei Xiaoran, and saluted Xiang Shi and Wu Ziying, saying:
"Greetings to my wife and master."

Xiang smiled and raised his hand to help, saying:
"Don't be too polite."

Pei Xiaoran didn't evade Xiang Shi and Wu Ziying, and went straight to the point:

"Three days later, the third young master of the Han family will come to our Duke's mansion together with Mrs. Han. There is a road that must be passed between the two mansions. You only need to ask someone to find out."

The woman nodded again and again, the excitement on her face was hard to hide, and she said:
"Thank you Miss!"

Pei Xiaoran smiled, untied a small purse from his waist and handed it over as a complication for her return trip, and asked:

"Is father buried yet?"

The woman looked up at Xiang Shi and said:
"The burial has already been completed. My wife is kind-hearted. I specially asked someone to help find a treasured land of geomantic omen. Now it has been buried in the ground."

"That's fine."

Pei Xiaoran gave his eldest aunt a grateful look, knowing that the other party treated the woman so kindly for his own sake.

But Xiang waved his hand, signaling Pei Xiaoran not to take it to heart, because it was nothing more than a word to her.

The heroine thought of something, quickly and carefully took out something from her arms, held it in both hands and presented it to Pei Xiaoran, saying:
"This...return to Miss."

It was the trust that Pei Xiaoran gave her that day.

Pei Xiaoran was not polite either, and directly took it and put it back around his neck.

Otherwise, Pei Xiaoran might give it to the other party directly, but this is a gift from her aunt, so the meaning is naturally extraordinary.

Having said all that needed to be said, Pei Xiaoran asked the woman to go back to make preparations, while he stayed and talked with Mrs. Xiang for a while, and then went to accompany his grandmother for half an hour before heading back home.

The carriage was still driving fast and steadily. Pei Xiaoran sat on the wall of the carriage, closing his eyes and quietly thinking about his own thoughts.

People will never change and grow without going through great difficulties.

It's just that some people were weak-willed, couldn't hold on, succumbed to the disaster, and never stood up again.

And some gritted their teeth and refused to admit defeat, and they just survived.

These people tend to become tougher, braver, and more indestructible than before.

This is the case with her sister Han Chan.

She believed that Sister Han Chan would live better and better than before when she was the eldest daughter in Weiyuan Hou Mansion.

The corners of Pei Xiaoran's mouth could not help but curl up, he was sincerely happy that his friend survived the catastrophe and survived the ashes.

The carriage suddenly stopped abruptly, and Pei Xiaoran's body involuntarily swayed to the side.

She reacted very quickly to support it with her hands, and before she could ask the driver outside what happened, she heard an arrogant voice yelling loudly outside:

"Good dogs don't get in the way! People in front, get out of the way for my lady!"

Pei Xiaoran frowned slightly, lifted the curtain of the car and looked out, only to see that the carriage was in a relatively narrow alley.

Pei Xiaoran asked the driver in puzzlement:
"Why did you come to the path?"

The coachman looked embarrassed and apologized again and again:
"Miss, I'm really sorry, I originally wanted to take a shortcut to send the lady back home earlier, but someone on the other side also took this path. Damn it!"

Pei Xiaoran grabbed his hand that was about to slap him, looked back and forth, found that the alley was not long, and said:
"Forget it, let's go back and take the main road."

The driver quickly agreed, turned the horse's head and wanted to go back.

Unexpectedly, the person on the opposite side would not give up, and slapped the horsewhip straight to the ground, urging very impatiently:

"Hurry up! Where is Pharaoh pulling the cart? Why are you so slow!"

Pei Xiaoran originally wanted to calm down the matter, after all, it is impossible to say who is right and who is wrong in this matter, everyone wanted to take a shortcut, and they just happened to get together.

Who would have thought that the other party's insults at the beginning were nothing more than that, when they gave way to the other party without thinking about it, they were so aggressive, it was really deceiving!

The coachman glared fiercely at the other side, but dared not speak out, after all, the other party's carriage was from a wealthy family, and he couldn't afford to offend it.

Pei Xiaoran squinted his eyes and looked over there carefully, and unexpectedly found the sign of Weiyuan Hou Mansion on the carriage? !
It's really... the enemy's road is narrow...

Pei Xiaoran did not take the carriage of the Duke's Mansion when he went out this time. The other party probably only regarded her as a lady from an ordinary family, so he dared to be so arrogant.

Sure enough, like a mother, like a daughter, like a daughter, like a slave.

Pei Xiaoran suddenly raised his voice and asked:
"I don't know whose family's lady is here?"

The other party thought she was unconvinced and wanted to find fault, so she immediately moved out of the backer arrogantly, reported her name, and said:

"The second daughter of the Weiyuan Hou's family! What, are you scared? If you are scared, get out of here!"

Second Miss?
Pei Xiaoran's eyes suddenly froze, she looked at the driver who was struggling to turn the horse's head, and said coldly:

"We don't have to retreat, let's just hit it, I will bear the loss with all my strength, and double the compensation to you."

The coachman was taken aback, as if he couldn't believe his ears: "Huh?"

That's the eldest daughter of the Hou Mansion, if they collide, will they still survive? !
However, Pei Xiaoran had already got out of the carriage, pulled the driver into the carriage and pushed him into the carriage, snatched the whip from his hand, and sat in the driver's seat.

She raised her small hand, raised the whip high and slapped the horse's butt, and said angrily:

"drive!"

The horse was in pain, and it stopped turning without someone to pull it around, but rushed straight ahead.

The driver on the opposite side never dreamed that someone would dare to run into Miss Hou's carriage face to face. He was in a hurry and didn't know how to react, and subconsciously yelled:

"You guys are tired of living, aren't you?! You don't know how to live or die... Stop! Stop!"

However, the horse couldn't understand what he was yelling, and still rushed forward on its own.

Pei Xiaoran understood, but so what?

Seeing that the two carriages were about to slam into each other, the coachman on the opposite side finally had the wits to pull on the reins desperately to keep his horse close to the wall next to him, in order to escape the catastrophe.

But his reaction was too slow. The horse had just followed his pull and ran two steps aside when it was hit by an oncoming carriage and staggered. Knocked to the ground, and it also fell down.

"what--!!!"

There was an ear-piercing scream from inside the carriage, and after a while, a woman in fine clothes climbed out of the overturned carriage with the help of two maids.
