Du Yijin looked at the dilapidated carriage with a heavy heart. She had hoped that it could be used for another year or so but now it looked like that wouldn't be possible anymore.

She sighed. If she had known, she would have gone back to her hometown with her dad a few days later. If she hadn't been so obsessed with saving the cost of hiring a carriage twice, she wouldn't have been in this mess. What a terrible deal!

"It's just a beast. If it's injured, so be it. It's freezing out here and I am not walking! The County Lord Rui'an just invited us onto his carriage, why did you have to act all big and refuse?"

He had invited her, not this girl! She was embarrassed to accept a ride from him, let alone this girl, who had insulted and extorted him. Her shamelessness was thicker than a city wall!
