Hongchou seemed to have been on her guard, for at the moment Xiaoyao lashed out with her needles, she leapt up and vanished from sight.
The two silver needles shot past the spot where she had just been sitting and directly into the carriage curtain.
After Hongchou left, the horse didn't stop at all and was about to crash into Xiaoyao.
Xiaoyao's face darkened, and without a second thought, she pushed out with her palm.
Struck by the force of her palm, the horse wailed and its legs buckled, causing it to charge directly into the pond.
With several heavy splashes, the horse and carriage plunged into the lake.
The water was deep, and soon the carriage began to sink.
Xiaoyao coldly watched the sinking carriage, uncertain whether there was anyone inside.
She looked around but saw no trace of Hongchou.
The person who sent the carriage to ram her had left, was it a flight from guilt?
Xiaoyao narrowed her eyes, feeling a sense of unease stirring in the depths of her heart.
