Chapter 113 Mask
Jiang Jiang smiled but said nothing. If the young woman was accompanied by guards, she might think that she was the child of a high-ranking official. If the carriage she was riding in was unusually luxurious, she might also think that she was the descendant of a wealthy businessman.
But she clearly saw that this carriage was no different from ordinary ones, with simple decoration, ordinary workmanship, and the horses were also ordinary breeds.
What allowed Jiang Jiang to confirm the young woman's identity most clearly was the coachman sitting in the front of the carriage.
Some time ago, she disguised herself and took the escort agency's carriage from the town to the county. The driver of the carriage was the person in front of her.
Jiang Jiang couldn't understand it. After fleeing for so long, this was the first time she had seen such a person.
How could a coachman, a weak young woman, dare to intrude into a gathering place of others?
How did these two people survive to this day?
Seeing that Jiang Jiang didn't say anything, the woman thought she was scared.
She sneered and walked straight towards the Zhou family.
Before she could take two steps, the people from the surrounding Daxi Village came forward and surrounded the coachman and the young woman.
"What are you doing?!" the young woman shouted in a timid voice.
The driver's reaction was much simpler. Seeing the aggressive people around him, he immediately waved his hand and distanced himself from the woman.
"Everyone, I'm just a hired driver. It has nothing to do with me."
"Liu Shouren! You are such an ungrateful, heartless person. Have you forgotten what my father told you? He told you to send me to Jiangzhou safely!"
The young woman was so angry that she pointed at the driver and cursed him.
Liu Shouren clenched his fists and stared at her fiercely.
"Your father was escorting a large amount of food and was robbed. It's unclear whether he can save his life. Otherwise, why do you think he was in such a hurry to send you out?"
"Besides, Wang Qingqing, have you ever thought in your stupid head why you and your brother were sitting in different carriages and going in different directions? You have been abandoned long ago!"
"You! You!" Wang Qingqing was so angry that she couldn't speak.
At the same time, an inexplicable sense of panic arose in her heart.
Just as Liu Shouren said, his father's escort company suffered heavy losses because of a large order. Early this morning, her father sent her to a carriage and she left home.
Her brother and mother were riding in another carriage, going in the opposite direction from her.
She couldn't understand her father's expression at the time, but thinking back on it now, it was one of helplessness, sadness, and guilt.
Jiang Jiang was speechless. She hadn't even thought about eating the melon, so how come this huge melon hit her in the face.
Obviously, at the beginning she just wanted to receive the compensation and apology she deserved.
All I can say is that life is full of drama, and she encountered this story of a young lady in distress.
However, Jiang Jiang is not the male protagonist in romance novels. She does not like Liu Shouren and Wang Qingqing, who represent the word trouble.
In order to avoid trouble, she even didn't want to ask the two for compensation. It was just a little water and a straw mat.
Forget it.
But the people in Daxi Village don’t think so.
How can they allow anyone to bully them?
Not to mention how much the Jiang Jiang family has contributed to the village. They have seen it all and will definitely not let them suffer any loss.
If it was someone powerful, they wouldn't be able to afford to offend him, but they were not afraid of a spoiled escort girl who was in trouble.
Don’t accuse the people of Daxi Village of bullying the weak and fearing the strong. It was obviously they who started the trouble first.
If Jiang Jiang's family hadn't reacted quickly, someone might have been injured.
If that young lady hadn't seen that they were dressed in rags and had no power or influence, how could she have been so arrogant and outspoken?
The people of Daxi Village just want to get some revenge!
Li Shuming took the lead and walked to the front.
He looked the two of them up and down with a stern face.
"I don't care what happened to you, but you almost hurt someone with your horse, and you also broke our things. Apologize! Compensate!"
The members of the village patrol team showed their shining swords and looked ferocious, just like robbers.
Wang Qingqing immediately became scared. She realized that things were different now than before. She was still the Miss Wang who was blessed by her father and protected by countless uncles.
Coupled with the heartless Liu Shouren, she is now isolated and helpless.
Wang Qingqing swallowed her anger and said with a puffed mouth: "We almost hit someone. I'm sorry. Tell me how much compensation you want."
She was already prepared to be slaughtered. These people from Daxi Village surrounded her, weren't they just trying to make huge demands?
She admitted it.
"A bucket of water, a straw mat, and no need to apologize, as you just said."
Wang Qingqing looked at Jiang Jiang with some surprise.
I didn't expect that these idiots didn't take advantage of the situation.
"I don't have much water, so this hairpin is my compensation to you. As for the straw mat, I don't have that either, so just wait."
Wang Qingqing returned to the carriage and took down a thin quilt.
"This is better than your shabby straw mat."
Jiang Jiang took the hairpin in one hand and held the quilt in the other. She nodded at Li Shuming, meaning that they were even.
Seeing this, Li Shuming waved his hand and asked Wang Qingqing and Liu Shouren to leave.
The others also made way for the two of them, but their vicious eyes followed them all the way, making Wang Qingqing and Liu Shouren frightened.
As soon as they escaped from the encirclement of the people in Daxi Village, the two men slipped away.
But just one second before Wang Qingqing got on the carriage, Liu Shouren jumped on the carriage and drove away.
"Hold!" Liu Shouren flicked the whip, and the horse raised its hooves and galloped forward.
"Goodbye, Miss!"
Liu Shouren's malicious voice disappeared in the air, leaving only Wang Qingqing standing there.
The aunts from Daxi Village who were watching the fun started talking at once about what had just happened.
Originally they thought Wang Qingqing was a spoiled and unlikable young lady, but seeing her in trouble, they felt a little sad.
Jiang Jiang thought more than the villagers who either felt pity or gloated over his misfortune.
From the moment the bucket was knocked over and the straw mat was torn to pieces, to Wang Qingqing's foul language and deliberate provocation, Jiang Jiang had always felt a strong sense of disharmony.
Is there really anyone that stupid?
He knows that he is weak and alone but still tries to provoke others.
What if Wang Qingqing did all this on purpose?
She had already known that her fate was in the hands of others, and that Liu Shouren was not someone she could trust. So, what would she do?
Jiang Jiang's gaze fell on Wang Qingqing's chest.
There seemed to be something hidden there. It wasn't so bulging before she got on the carriage.
Wang Qingqing felt Jiang Jiang's inquiring gaze and smiled at her.
This smile was gentle, completely different from the impression she had given people before.
Jiang Jiang became more certain of his guess.
Everything that just happened was directed and acted out by Wang Qingqing herself.
She is not an ordinary person.
