Chapter 1829: Chapter 1829: Sudden Back Pain
The corner of Yang Ruxinâs mouth twitched. This shameless behavior really shattered the Peng Familyâs reputation.
Shen Shuyi turned her face away directly, unable to bear looking. Sheâd never seen anyone so brazen.
Even Dankou was dumbfounded. Was this really the granddaughter of the Peng Familyâs old general who sacrificed his life for the country? However, she thought better of it; she was just a palace maid, and no matter what, the other party was the Peng Familyâs young lady, backed by the Wang Family and the Shen Family. So, she couldnât forcibly yank her down.
If she wants to sit up there, let her sit.
He Ziyue widened her eyes further. She usually was engrossed in studying medical skills and herbs, only occasionally attending some banquets. But in her understanding, daughters of aristocratic families were always courteous in public, no matter what they were like in private. Who would behave like Peng Jing? If the Peng Familyâs old general knew, wouldnât he be furious enough to wake up?
Yet Peng Jing remained oblivious, excitedly waving at Shen Shuyi from the vehicle: âCousin, come quickly.â
Shen Shuyi wished she could find a place to crawl into.
Fortunately, more carriages arrived at this time.
Everyone boarded the vehicles one after another.
He Ziyue looked at Yang Ruxin.
Yang Ruxin pulled her onto the last carriage too, letting Peng Jing occupy the county masterâs carriage if she wanted.
Seeing this, Dankou didnât stay by the vehicle anymore and quickly climbed onto the shaft of that carriage. Though it wasnât a special vehicle, she needed to bring the person in safely.
At first, Peng Jing was quite proud, but soon she realized something was wrong. As the carriages began to leave, there were fewer and fewer people. Meanwhile, the Shen Shuyi she was following had long disappeared without a trace, leaving her stamping her feet in anger.
âMiss, you canât stomp on this vehicle,â the coachman, who was an eunuch, couldnât help but remind her. âIt might scare the mule.â
âYouâŠâ Peng Jing was momentarily at a loss for words but quickly waved her hand. âHurry up, letâs go!â Then she glared at her maid, Zhiqiu, âIdiot, hurry up and get up here.â
âMiss Peng, sorry, but this carriage is arranged by the county master,â the eunuch coachman quickly replied, implying this vehicle wasnât meant for her.
âBut Yang Ruxin has already left,â Peng Jing frowned. âHurry up and take me there; if we delay the banquet, youâll be responsibleâŠâ
Yet despite Peng Jingâs intimidation and bribery, the little eunuch neither responded nor budged.
âMiss, we better queue up quickly, or weâll be really late,â Zhiqiu couldnât help but remind her.
Finally, Peng Jing reluctantly jumped off the carriage but went over in fury and kicked at the little eunuch.
The little eunuch clearly knew some martial arts, quickly stepping aside.
Peng Jing kicked into thin air, and due to using too much force, she staggered and had to grab the shaft of the vehicle to avoid falling. But thenâŠ
She twisted her waist.
âHurry and come over to support me?â Peng Jing wanted to curse the little eunuch but, just as she was about to speak, she realized her waist hurt terribly, immediately gasping in pain. She couldnât stand properly and could only look at Zhiqiu, âYou useless⊠Oh wowâŠâ
âMiss, what happened?â Zhiqiu was startled and quickly went over to support Peng Jing.
âYou tell me, what happened?â Peng Jing raised her hand and slapped Zhiqiu, âAll you do is space out; Iâll have you sold off later.â
