How did s.h.i.+ Qingxue know about s.h.i.+ Baoyan's mind? Seeing that she finally stopped, her mind drifted away again.

The carriage was moving forward, and suddenly with a call of stop, the carriage stopped.

Several people in the carriage leaned forward because of inertia, and s.h.i.+ Baoyan almost hit the door.

"d.a.m.n it! Why the h.e.l.l did you stop suddenly?" s.h.i.+ Baoyan screamed angrily.

The guard outside the carriage quickly apologized and carefully squeezed a guilty smile, "Master, someone is blocking the way."

s.h.i.+ Qingxue lifted the curtain and saw a girl in purple dress standing outside, with her hair tied into a pair of b.u.mps on head, looking like twelve or thirteen years old. Her little face looked innocent.

However, the girl frowned and said indifferently, "The paths of Mang Mountain are small and tortuous. It's forbidden to drive on the mountain trail. Please get off and walk."

s.h.i.+ Baoyan was even fiercer, raised the curtain, and impolitely yelled at the girl in purple dress, "This road is not yours. I want to take the carriage and I will. Can't you mind my business?"

The girl in purple dress sneered and said, "If you want to go up to Mang Mountain, I am able to mind your business! I advise you to listen to me, or don't blame me for not explaining in advance when you get hurt later."

"Don't be angry. We are from the s.h.i.+ Family in capital city. It's our first time to seek for medical treatment from Dr. Shen in Mang Mountain. We don't know the rules, and please forgive us!" s.h.i.+ Qingxue lowered her head to greet the girl in purple dress and soon obeyed the rules and got off the carriage.

s.h.i.+ Baoyan gave a scornful glance at s.h.i.+ Qingxue. Not only did she not get off the carriage, she also stood on the flat board outside the carriage, taunting with sarcasm, "Someone will do whatever the other person says. Isn't Qingxue too obedient? Isn't she afraid that our family will lose majesty once it's spread out?"

s.h.i.+ Qingxue looked at s.h.i.+ Baoyan as if she were insane, and she asked in mind what wrong was with this person.

Seeing the anger on the girl's face, she hurriedly said, "It's the unchangeable truth that the guest should obey the host's rules. Baoyan, since we have already come to Mang Mountain, we should act according to the host's requests!"

Compared with the past, her att.i.tude at this moment was actually trying to settle this thing calmly.

She didn't want to annoy the girl in purple dress and cause any trouble on her way looking for medical treatment. But this att.i.tude seemed to be irony in s.h.i.+ Baoyan's eyes.

s.h.i.+ Baoyan had never thought that she would first cause trouble on s.h.i.+ Qingxue. Seeing s.h.i.+ Qingxue disrespect and ignore her in public, she was so embarra.s.sed, and she simply started to act shameless!

"Huh! A rural girl is also qualified to be the master? I won't get off the carriage. I'll see what she can do to me. How can she deal with me?"

s.h.i.+ Baoyan also raised her chin proudly, as if she were more honorable than all of them.

But as soon as she stopped speaking, the girl in purple dress waved her sleeves suddenly. The guards aside had no time to react at all, then they heard s.h.i.+ Baoyan screaming.

"Be careful!"

s.h.i.+ Qingxue was the closest to s.h.i.+ Baoyan, and she wanted to grab her hand, but she only scratched her sleeve and saw that she was facing down, and her mouth hit straight on the carriage rail, and then fell to the ground.

It happened too fast, and the guards hurried to hold up s.h.i.+ Baoyan, but her face was already full of blood with that hit.

s.h.i.+ Baoyan trembled with pain, and when she opened her mouth, she could feel the air leaked in her mouth, just like...

She hurriedly touched her front teeth, trembling, but only felt the gap.

"Ah!"

At this moment, s.h.i.+ Baoyan couldn't hold back anymore, and she cried out fiercely, but because the air leaked between her teeth, it sounded very strange.

With her messy make-up and dirty clothes, she looked very funny.

"..." s.h.i.+ Qingxue held back for a long time and finally was able not to laugh.

But the girl in purple dress would not care about s.h.i.+ Baoyan's pride. She didn't pretend to be polite at all, and she laughed out, and asked, "What do you think if I can do with you now?"

s.h.i.+ Baoyan was laughed at when she was deadly painful, which made all parts of her body became in pain. She yelled at the group of guards standing still regardless of her image, "You won't fight back even when you see your master being bullied, will you? Are you all dead?"

The guards looked at each other, took out their swords, and surrounded the girl in purple dress.

"Don't be rude!" s.h.i.+ Qingxue quickly shouted when she saw that the thing was somewhat uncontrolled.

She walked up to the girl in purple dress again, and made a long hand-salute. She said politely, "My sister was rude and offended you just now. Now my sister has also learned a lesson. Please forgive us."

s.h.i.+ Baoyan was even more angry, "I was hurt by her like this, why is it my fault? Don't bully me too much!"

In the place of others, not only did she not obey the rules, but she kept yelling. Who was the one bullying?

s.h.i.+ Qingxue glanced at s.h.i.+ Baoyan speechlessly, and felt that Baoyan might have something wrong with her brain.

She didn't bother to argue with s.h.i.+ Baoyan any more, and gave Dong Shuang a sign. The latter moved her hands to cover s.h.i.+ Baoyan's mouth and dragged her away quickly.

The world suddenly became quiet.

"You're a polite person!" The girl in purple dress nodded with satisfaction. Her big round eyes moved glanced at s.h.i.+ Qingxue again, and muttered in a low voice, "The s.h.i.+ Family in capital city..."

"Which lady of the s.h.i.+ Family are you?"

Although s.h.i.+ Qingxue didn't know the ident.i.ty of the girl in purple, she guessed that she must have a great relations.h.i.+p with Shen Luo, the skilled doctor. She told the girl her ident.i.ty, and said that she wanted to seek for medical treatment for her elder sister!

The girl in purple dress listened to her arrogantly at first, until s.h.i.+ Qingxue said her name, her eyes became wide open again and she blurted out, "You are s.h.i.+ Qingxue?"

It was revealed that she knew about s.h.i.+ Qingxue. Was she actually an acquaintance?
