The horse stopped just in time, barely three feet from the carriage!
...
The entire street fell dead silent.
The noble ladies disembarked from their carriages one after another, staring at the scene, still shaken.
Who could have imagined something like this would happen right in front of the Long Princess Mansion?
However, when they saw the woman in red seated high on her horse, their shocked expressions vanished.
'It's her. No wonder she's so brazen...'
The woman in red retracted her long whip and looked down at Ye Shixian, her expression bold. "Hey, you all right?"
Ye Shixian's hair was a mess, her carefully chosen hairpins tangled together. With tears in her eyes and a look of lingering terror on her face, how could she possibly look "all right"?
But at those words, her heart trembled, and the accusations caught in her throat couldn't come out.
She struggled to her feet. She didn't need to look up to know how many eyes were on her.
