Chapter 67: The Pathway Scramble
The route to the governor’s mansion only had one street, and today, as the governor’s mansion held a banquet, a considerable number of local power figures and renowned individuals from the city were invited, causing the roads to be congested with streams of carriages and throngs of people coming and going.
The Ye Family’s carriage was caught in a traffic jam alongside the Mountain and Sea Gang’s carriage.
Seated in the Mountain and Sea Gang’s carriage was Young Master Sha Zhan.
Normally, the street could accommodate two horse-drawn carriages side by side, but Young Master Sha Zhan, aiming to impress, had taken an oversized carriage drawn by four horses.
The Ye Family’s single-horse carriage was trapped and could neither move forward nor backward.
"Whose carriage is this? Oh, it’s the Ye Family. What, does the Ye Family also wish to curry favor at the governor’s banquet? The threshold of the governor’s mansion is not low; don’t tell me the Ye Family can’t even come up with suitable gifts."
Sha Zhan recognized the Ye Family’s carriage and spoke with a tone of sarcastic ridicule.
In Li City, the Ye Family was not considered a significant force, and naturally, they would not be invited to the governor’s mansion’s birthday banquet.
Sha Zhan assumed that the Ye Residence wanted to flatter and ingratiate themselves with the governor.
Sha Zhan’s loud voice drew the attention of everyone on the street.
