Chapter 123 Poor Grandpa and Grandson
"If a scar is left on my forehead, I will pay for it with the lives of both you and your grandson."
As Jiang Yaqi spoke, she raised the whip in her hand again, wanting to whip the white-haired old man once again. Jiang Yimo immediately took out two silver needles from the space, and without anyone noticing, she flicked her hand and pierced Jiang Yaqi's wrist with a light flick.
Then she screamed: "Ah!!!"
The whip in her hand immediately fell to the ground. She quickly pulled her hand back, and then she found that two silver needles had been pierced into her wrist.
I was suddenly filled with anger.
Jiang Yaqi immediately pulled out the two silver needles from her wrists, holding them and angrily asked, "Who among you used the silver needles to attack me just now? Stand up."
Jiang Yimo curled her lips and smiled, then stood out from the crowd and answered readily, "It's me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he instantly attracted the attention of everyone around him.
Everyone saw a beautiful woman who was so beautiful that it was intolerable to heaven walking up to Jiang Yaqi. Such a stunning beauty would make both men and women scream when they saw it.
"This girl is so beautiful, is she a fairy?"
The onlookers didn't know who asked such a question.
Jiang Yaqi noticed that everyone's attention was attracted by her beauty, and she felt jealous and crazy.
"Why are you so vicious as to use a silver needle to stab me, you bitch?"
"I was trying to cross the road, but was blocked by a mad bitch."
As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd watching the excitement burst into laughter.
Jiang Yaqi was so mad at her that she picked up the whip on the ground and wanted to whip Jiang Yimo's perfect face.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Yimo grabbed her whip.
"There are a lot of people coming and going at the night market tonight, and most people have to pass by this street, but you are riding a carriage and rushing here. Not only are you scaring passers-by, but you are also in danger of hitting others. It was you who almost hit someone, and you blamed others for startling your carriage and causing you to get hurt."
"What kind of perverted logic is this? It was obviously the grandfather and grandson who suddenly appeared to seek death, and they also caused me to be disfigured. It is not excessive for me to kill them."
Jiang Yaqi was so angry that she started to speak wildly.
"In Donglin, even if you are a prince, you cannot kill people at will. Even if the grandfather and grandson are insignificant civilians, who are you to shout at a civilian like a madman in the crowded street?"
Jiang Yimo's words were instantly recognized by the crowd.
"The fairy girl is right. Your carriage just rushed around the street, not only scaring the people passing by, but also knocking over many roadside stalls, which made it impossible for us to do business tonight. Shouldn't you compensate us for this loss?"
"Yes, pay the money! Pay the money!"
"Give us compensation, compensation!"
"If you don't pay me, we'll go to her house and make trouble."
"........."
Jiang Yaqi watched as the onlookers turned their attention to her. She glared at Jiang Yimo fiercely, got on the carriage and left dejectedly. However, the onlookers still chased the carriage for a long distance.
Sitting in the carriage, Jiang Yaqi was very angry with the coachman and Jiang Yimo.
"That little bitch really pissed her off. Not only did she ruin her plans, she also embarrassed herself on the street. Next time if I run into her again, I'll make sure to teach her a lesson and scratch her seductive face. Humph!!!"
"And you, idiot coachman, why did you stop the carriage so suddenly? Let that little bastard be killed, but you caused me to hit my forehead. If my face is disfigured and Prince Kang dislikes me, I, as a coachman, will not let you go."
At this time, the middle-aged coachman who was carefully driving Jiang Yaqi's carriage broke out in a cold sweat after hearing her words, but he did not defend himself.
If he hadn't had a leg disease that made it difficult for him to find a job, he wouldn't have worked as a coachman for this vicious woman.
After Jiang Yaqi's nagging and cursing, she felt much better. Then she calmed down and recalled that the woman who had just acted against her on the street looked somewhat familiar, but she couldn't remember that the woman was Jiang Yimo.
When Jiang Yimo saw Jiang Yaqi running away in a panic, she helped the grandfather and grandson up and asked with concern: "Old man, are you okay?"
"We're fine. Thank you for helping us out just now, girl."
To be honest, the old man raised his hand and wiped the cold sweat off his face with his sleeve.
The old man was really scared to death just now. If he hadn't pulled his grandson back in time, his grandson would most likely have been trampled to death by the horse just now.
And if this little girl hadn't come out to help him, he would probably have been sued for a lot of money by the woman just now.
His family is extremely poor. His son died and his daughter-in-law ran away with someone else. He and his five-year-old grandson are the only ones left at home. They can't even get enough to eat or wear warm clothes. How can he compensate others?
Jiang Yimo smiled sweetly when she heard that.
"It's okay, as long as you and your grandson are not injured."
Jiang Yimo looked up and down at the grandfather and grandson, both of whom were wearing patched clothes. If it weren't for the fact that their clothes were clean and that one of the old man's hands was filled with various small animals woven with thatch leaves, she would have suspected that the grandfather and grandson were beggars.
Finally, Jiang Yimo asked again: "Old man, are you here to sell these straw weavings?"
Hearing this, the old man smiled sadly and said helplessly: "Yes, girl, I am old and in poor health. I can't do other work. I can only make some small things to sell to support my grandson."
"So how much did you sell today?" Jiang Yimo asked.
As soon as he asked this question, the old man's eyes turned red.
At this moment, the little boy who was protected in the old man's arms suddenly poked his head out from the old man's arms, opened his big round eyes and looked at Jiang Yimo, pursed his lips and said pitifully: "Sister, we haven't sold a single straw weaving since today, my grandfather hasn't eaten for two days, and I haven't eaten for a day either."
After the little boy finished speaking, he was scolded by the old man.
"You kid, you still think about food. If it weren't for saving you, grandpa would have sold two straw weavings."
"I'm sorry, Grandpa. I just saw a cat with an injured leg in the middle of the road. I wanted to save it, but I didn't expect the carriage to run so fast and rushed over to me in an instant."
The little boy also realized that his behavior was wrong.
"How dare you say that, kid? If grandpa hadn't pulled fast, you would have died under the horse's hooves."
When he said this, the old man's nose felt sore and tears couldn't help but flow out of his eyes. Then he wiped his tears with the corner of his clothes.
