When the carriages stopped, the people inside didn't think too much about it.

Along the way, Eldest Madam Wu had spent a lot of time comforting her daughter. Wu Qiong Qiong was still brooding over being hit. Not only was she embarrassed in front of everyone, Lu Xiu Ling had also complained about her a little afterwards. Then, her grandfather who normally cherished her had scolded her sternly, leaving her in a bad mood the last few days.

Eldest Madam Wu felt bad for her daughter but also had quite the headache. She could only persuade her daughter to be more restrained in the future and not provoke that queen of hell anymore. She didn't know what else to say.

Wu Qiong Qiong didn't say anything but her heart was filled with resentment. She had suffered losses from Yan Yan since they were children. After growing up, she still couldn't escape this outcome.

A guard came up to report. Wu Qiong Qiong's personal maid Mo Li went to ask what was going on. Afterwards, she returned and reported that a miss had stopped the carriage, saying she knew their miss and wanted a ride.

Right as they were puzzled, a familiar voice sounded out. "I really know your noble estate's miss. Just let her take a look."

Wu Qiong Qiong's eyes flashed and she raised the curtains. As expected, it was the person in her memories.

Although her appearance had changed and she looked rather bedraggled and covered in dirt, Wu Qiong Qiong still recognized her after staring for a bit.

"This miss said she got separated from her family, but she's unwilling to say which household she's from. Miss, what....."

Wu Qiong Qiong smiled. "I truly do know her. This is Yan Yan's concubine sister Yan Qian, the Weiyuan Marquis Estate's miss. Mom, she's the one who tricked Pei Yu Jia last time, resulting in your daughter going against Yan Yan."

Eldest Madam Wu frowned. "Then hurry and drive her away. Don't interact with this sort of person in the future!"

Mo Li was just about to do so when Wu Qiong Qiong called her back. "Hold up."

She turned and said to Eldest Madam Wu: "Mom, go back to your carriage up front first. From the way she's dressed and the fact that she's alone, there's clearly something going on."

"My obedient daughter, what are you planning on doing now?"

Wu Qiong Qiong's eyes turned and she smiled coyly, "Your daughter isn't planning anything, just curious about her appearance. Mom, just give your daughter some space!"

Eldest Madam Wu couldn't withstand her daughter's spoiled act and got off while shaking her head.

Yan Qian was panicked and nervous. She saw a noblewoman get out of the carriage before a maid came walking over.

"This miss, my household's miss invites you onto the carriage."

Yan Qian was overjoyed. She glared at the two guards who were blocking her and followed the maid onto the carriage.

She had been a little worried. Last time she had caused Wu Qiong Qiong to lose a lot of face. Perhaps she wouldn't help her. Unexpectedly, she was treated very courteously. Not only was she invited onto the carriage, they even gave her tea and snacks.

Yan Qian had snuck out of the estate and gotten rejected from the Pei household. She had planned on going to find her concubine mom but ended up being robbed by an unscrupulous carriage driver. She was very frightened and hadn't eaten in a day. Her stomach had long since been rumbling. Seeing that there was food, she didn't stand on ceremony and ate two pastries in one go. She drank two cups of tea before stopping.
