The husband I snatched halfway through his life is strange.

But how could Lu's coachman dare to do that?

"This……"

Lu Shiying was also terrified and, without thinking of anything else, hurriedly went to pull Yu Tingwan away.

“Madam, the Yang family is very powerful. My mother has always warned me to avoid them if possible and never get into a conflict with them.”

As she spoke, her voice trembled with emotion.

These days, the Lu family has been targeted by the Yang family.

Not to mention that my father and elder brother were harassed by Minister Yang in the officialdom, even I, the younger brother, was ostracized by my classmates at the Imperial Academy.

The capital city was bustling, and the Imperial Academy was a place for learning and nurturing people, but the power to oppress was oppressive, and snobbery was everywhere.

When Yu Tingwan saw the beautiful woman's tears fall, her anger surged even higher.

But the angrier she gets, the calmer she appears on the surface.

"Position?"

She sneered, "You think you can compare to me?"

Old woman Yang never imagined that she had mistaken someone for someone else.

The other party is still so arrogant.

"Hey, where did this reckless fool come from again?"

“Our Yang…”

After seeing Yu Tingwan's face clearly, he suddenly stopped speaking.

This face...

She originally served by the lady's side, but was later transferred to Yang Jingshu's side. She had seen the world and had met Princess Jiashan.

The old woman was no longer the arrogant woman she had been moments before.

However, the clothes Yu Tingwan was wearing were too common in style, and the material wasn't particularly good either.

To put it bluntly, it's not even as good as what she's wearing. It doesn't look like something that noble person would wear.

She was unaware that Ze County was a remote and impoverished place. Furthermore, due to its poor transportation, it was isolated from news. What was outdated in the capital, something the wealthy wouldn't even glance at, was a rare and precious item there.

Besides, given his status, even young women would try every means to befriend him; how could he possibly get involved with the Lu family's daughter?
But the face looks too similar.

If that's true, then hasn't she gotten herself into a huge mess?
The old woman, filled with fear and suspicion, asked, "May I ask who you are, Madam?"

Will Yu Tingwan even acknowledge her?

What the hell.

She just stared at the driver expressionlessly.

"Don't you dare?"

The driver swallowed hard.

Yu Tingwan: "It's alright."

She climbed back into the carriage, taking the poor little Lu Shiying with her.

Yu Tingwan settled down, her red lips slightly parted, and she softly called out a name.

"Tanjiang".

Tan Jiang is really...!!!
Ever since she started following Yu Tingwan, she has always kept to herself! She's been holding it in for so long!

Upon hearing this command, his eyes gleamed with excitement!

Most importantly, the Yang family showed disrespect to the lady!

She couldn't wait and was eager to try, so she pushed the driver away.

"I come!"

"Useless trash, just you wait!"

Tan Jiang pulled on the reins, his muscles taut beneath his sleeves, narrowed his eyes, and lashed out with the whip.

"drive!"

The horse, in pain, reared up on its forelegs, neighed, and galloped forward like an arrow released from a bow, kicking up a cloud of dust.

The objective was clear: the Yang family's carriage ahead.

Tan Jiang: If I don't smash that side away, she doesn't deserve to be personally trained by Vice General Chi!

The speed was too fast, and Lu Shiying leaned back in the carriage, tears still welling in her eyes, while the rabbit in her arms seemed to be stunned as well.

"Husband...husband...husband..."

He's stuttering again; the character for "person" seems impossible to decipher.

Yu Tingwan: "Shh."

She smiled and pointed to herself.

"I."

Yu Tingwan said very seriously, “The light of justice.” The two carriages were not far apart.

The driver's pupils constricted sharply. If anything happened to the girl inside the carriage, he wouldn't survive either. Before the old woman could shout for them to get out of the way, he reacted and swerved to the right.

He reacted quickly and avoided a head-on collision.

The carriages of the Lu and Yang families collided heavily. The Lu family's carriage was simple and not as sturdy as the Yang family's, but it was driven by Tan Jiang.

She chose the perfect angle; it was very tricky.

There was a loud bang.

The Yang family's carriage overturned, catching Yang Jingshu off guard. She fell and felt dizzy, hitting her head on the edge of the tea table inside.

The Lu family carriage had a large crack and could explode at any moment, but it was very resilient and only shook violently.

The commotion drew the attention of the locals, who all stopped to watch.

"What happened over there? Was the Yang family's daughter hit by a car?"

Some people only know one side of the story and not the other; this is where popular science comes in.

"I know! It's hilarious. The Yang family just sent an old woman over to ridicule the Lu family's daughter. The Lu family's daughter got angry and rammed into the Yang family's house."

"The Lu family? They're that powerful? But I've heard that the Lu family women are the most timid. How could she dare?"

"Who knows? The Yang and Lu families have never gotten along. Maybe the Yang family is just too much."

"Shh, keep your voice down. Aren't you afraid the Yang family will come after you if they hear you?"

After being warned like that, the woman carrying the basket immediately fell silent.

The old woman turned pale with fright and quickly ran to help Yang Jingshu out.

"girl!"

"Are you alright?"

"This is terrible, this is terrible. If something happens to you, how will this old servant explain it to Madam?"

With a heavy heart, she prepared to report: "Miss, I'm afraid the carriage belonging to the Lu family is carrying..."

There was tea in the carriage, but Yang Jingshu got splashed with it all over her face and was in a sorry state.

She heard what those lowly commoners were saying.

Yang Jingshu has always been a respectable person, but now she has lost both face and dignity, and is being pointed at and gossiped about. She can't listen to anything else, and with a cold face, she pushes the old woman away.

"Step aside!"

"Useless things."

Incompetent!

She didn't bother to tidy her disheveled hair and clothes. With one hand, she threw away the exquisitely carved jade longevity lock that she had prepared to give to the young prince, which was now broken in two.

The culprit, however, remained in the car and showed no intention of apologizing whatsoever!
Suppressing her emotions, she strode forward and walked to the Lu family's carriage.

"Lu Shiying!"

She snapped, "Get down here!"

Yang Jingshu wiped the water off her face with a handkerchief. She was breathing rapidly, but not to the point of losing her mind.

She spoke with great force.

“My Yang family has returned to our hometown for three years of mourning. The other day, we held a banquet at our residence and sent invitations to the Lu family, and you came too. If the hospitality was inadequate, you could have simply said so. Why resort to such underhanded tactics?”

"I know you've only just returned to the capital, and your manners are still imperfect; you don't know your place!"

"Not to mention that my Yang family is more illustrious than your Lu family, I also received an imperial decree on the day of the banquet, making me a royal daughter-in-law. How dare you be disrespectful to me?"

Finally, there was movement inside the dilapidated carriage.

The woman's voice was different from her usual soft and gentle tone; it was cold and indifferent at this moment.

"Miss Yang really has quite the airs."

Tan Jiang respectfully reached out with both hands to help the people inside the carriage.

A slender, white hand draped over her, and the woman bent down to exit the carriage.

She wore an apricot-colored embroidered long dress with a flowing hem and butterfly-shaped buttons; such dresses were everywhere.

She wasn't particularly outstanding, but Yu Tingwan was undeniably beautiful. Her jewelry was also exceptional, making her dress stand out even more.

Even more so, it's lively and playful.

The girl smiled, and the beauty mark at the corner of her eye shone even brighter in the light.

She looked down at Yang Jingshu.

"What are you yelling about?"

"Aren't you still alive and well?"
