Although Ouyang Xiu despised Ouyang Wu's pretentiousness and said she was not used to such a luxurious carriage, she was still very proud of being praised by Ouyang Wu, and could not resist the temptation of the carriage, so she readily agreed, took a pretentious and elegant step, and sat in the carriage with the help of the servants.
Indistinctly, Ouyang Wu heard Ouyang Xiu say, such a carriage is not worthy of you, a flower-crazy fool. Ouyang Wu smiled faintly and got into another carriage with the help of A Xiu.
The journey was very stable, and A Xiu kept lifting the curtain of the carriage to look outside, very happy. Suddenly, a scream was heard. The luxurious carriage in front of Ouyang Xiu was out of control. The horse ran wildly, and the driver could not control the horse and was thrown to the ground. Ah Xiu helped Ouyang Wu get off the carriage. Looking at the luxurious carriage that disappeared without a trace, she was stunned and found her voice after a long while: "Miss, what's going on?"
Ouyang Wu just looked at it indifferently: "This, you have to ask the owner of the carriage."
"Isn't the owner of this carriage the Second Prince of Ye?"
"Oh? Ah Xiu, can this carriage tell you that its owner is the Second Prince of Ye?"
Ah Xiu shook her head blankly: "What should we do now? The Third Miss is still in the carriage!"
Ouyang Wu waved and called the man who had fallen to the ground earlier The driver came over and said, "Go back and inform the Prime Minister immediately, and tell him that the Third Miss's carriage has lost control and is missing." After that, he took Ah Xiu to his carriage and went to the Prime Minister's Mansion leisurely. "The Third Miss is missing, how can we have the mood to attend the flower viewing meeting?" Ah Xiu clasped her hands together and said Amitabha, "Fortunately, the young lady didn't get on that carriage, otherwise I don't know what would happen now?" After Ouyang Liu learned that Ouyang Xiu was missing, he mobilized all his servants to go out and look for her, and even reported the matter to the emperor. The emperor then assigned a pair of guards to help find her together. Until dark, they still couldn't find her. The whole Prime Minister's Mansion was dead silent, and Sun was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, stomping her feet and wandering in the front hall. After Ouyang Liu walked to the door countless times to ask, he finally saw two rows of torches approaching quickly outside the door. When he got to the front, he saw that it was the emperor's guards, but there was an extra carriage. The commander of the guards, General Yang, stepped forward and saluted, saying: "Prime Minister, the third lady has been found, but..."
Ouyang Liu quickly continued: "Commander Yang, my daughter can come back thanks to you, it's really hard work, I hope you can thank the emperor on behalf of this old minister!" Commander Yang looked at Ouyang Liu and hesitated to speak, just waved his hand and stepped aside.
Sun hurriedly walked out of the front hall after hearing the words, ran to the carriage, happily lifted the curtain, but was stunned in front of the carriage. Ouyang Liu saw that his wife did not take any further action, and was a little impatient, so he stepped forward himself, but when he saw the situation in the carriage, his originally happy face suddenly stiffened. After a moment, Commander Yang stepped forward and continued what he had just said: "The third young lady was found in the grove outside the city. She was already like this when she was found."
Ouyang Liu turned around, his voice trembling slightly: "Commander Yang, thank you for your hard work tonight. I haven't finished my family's work yet, so I won't entertain you for now."
Commander Yang waved his hand to show that he didn't care, and led the team of guards to leave first.
Without the torch, the front of the Prime Minister's Mansion seemed a little dim, and Sun cried out: "Xiu'er, what happened to you?" I saw that Ouyang Xiu's clothes were already tattered in the carriage, and her neck was covered with bruises and purples. Her hair was very dirty, her face was dull, one shoe on her foot was gone, and the other one seemed to have stepped into the mud. She huddled in the corner of the carriage, shivering. Sun stepped forward to drag her out, and helped her walk into the house. Ouyang Liu followed behind with a bad face.
When Ouyang Wu came out after hearing the noise outside, she happened to see this scene, and then she understood that the letter brought by the carrier pigeon actually told her to be careful of Ouyang Xiu and Yao Hua. There was also a picture of four or five men pushing a wheel on the road. She originally thought that it just told her to be careful of the carriage, but she didn't expect there was such a meaning. Men, wheels, really... Ouyang Wu admired the person who wrote the letter a little bit. I really don't know how many of his spies are around here. Ouyang Xiu's originally dull expression became excited after seeing Ouyang Wu. She rushed over and grabbed Ouyang Wu. Her sharp nails almost pierced into her skin, leaving blood marks. She looked sad and her voice was sharp. She said sternly: "You bitch, it's all you, it's all you who hurt me. If you hadn't exchanged carriages with me, I wouldn't... I wouldn't..."
At this point, she burst into tears as if she had reacted. While crying, she looked at Ouyang Wu with resentment: "You should be the one who was ruined!"
Ouyang Wu saw this scene and felt no sympathy in her heart. If she hadn't changed the carriage, it would probably be her who became like that now. This was a trap designed for her by Yaohua and Ouyang Xiu. It was their fault that the alliance was not well designed, but instead harmed herself.
Sun was so angry that her two daughters were destroyed in succession. She was pale, her lips were black and blue and trembling. She knew clearly that her two daughters were finished, and who would she rely on in the future. Hearing Ouyang Xiu say this, she also pointed the spearhead at Ouyang Wu, glaring at him, wishing to tear Ouyang Wu in front of her into pieces: "Ouyang Wu, it's really you!"
"Mother, I don't know anything. It was my third sister who insisted on exchanging carriages with me yesterday. I didn't know this would happen."
Sun didn't believe her at all, but she couldn't find any flaws in her words and deeds. Just as she was about to continue to attack, Ouyang Liu, who had been beside her, spoke up: "Enough, don't you think it's not embarrassing enough? The guards saw it today, and everyone in the capital will know it tomorrow. You are still arguing at home, all go back!"
Now that his two daughters have been ruined one after another, Ouyang Liu is quite troubled. Regardless of whether this matter has anything to do with Ouyang Wu, he doesn't want to pursue it. Today, Ouyang Wu is no longer the flower-crazy fool that everyone talks about. She seems to have become another person, with strong self-confidence in her eyes. Now she has easily become the Princess of Ye, and no one cares about her. Now if he wants to rise to the top in his official career, he may have to rely on Wu'er!
Ouyang Liu used to dote on Ouyang Xiu, but he didn't care about what happened now. Sun was very disappointed and could only give up. She glared at Ouyang Wu with hatred and helped the collapsed Ouyang Xiu back to her room. She vowed to avenge her two daughters.
Ouyang Wu just smiled faintly and turned around to walk towards the side yard.
Ouyang Xiu, since you shot yourself in the foot, you can't blame me.
