Chapter 549 Threat Exposed (4)_1
When Lin Yuan arrived at the entrance, the doorway of Rice Flower Fragrance was already surrounded by a crowd eager for a spectacle.
Lin Yuan massaged her forehead. All this fuss for merely opening a shop—it hadn’t been long, and already so many things had happened!
The one causing a scene at the door was none other than Meng Chunyan, who had just had her carriage damaged. To be precise, it wasn’t damaged by someone else; she had attempted to crash into another, but ended up crashing herself instead.
Meng Chunyan’s carriage had lost a wheel, but fortunately, the coachmen had their repair tools with them and managed to reattach it somewhat. However, just as Meng Chunyan was about to climb aboard, the wheel came off with a clatter. Halted mid-climb by this unexpected development, she panicked, her body tilting, and she fell off.
Now she was really in a state: her hair disheveled, her clothes wrinkled, and her face now covered in a layer of dust, having also twisted her foot. This infuriated her, and she insisted on settling accounts with Lin Yuan.
The Maid saw her in this state and wanted to persuade her to go home and change her clothes, but Meng Chunyan’s stubbornness prevailed. She wouldn’t even believe the Maid, who said if she took a look at her disheveled appearance in a mirror, she probably wouldn’t be so impulsive and cause such a fuss.
The coachmen trailed behind, again barely managing to fix the wheel, trying to have her sit inside the carriage. But remembering how she was thrown out just before, she refused to get in, dead set against it. So, she continued on toward Rice Flower Fragrance, limping with her messy hair and smudged face.
