Sure enough, just as they were nearing the temple, the carriage Su Qiao was riding in suddenly jolted. The horse let out a furious neigh and then bolted like mad down the dust-filled road.
Su Qiao swiftly lifted the curtain and flicked her hand. A golden needle shot out, stabbing straight toward the horse in front of Su Yuxin's carriage not far away.
The horse was suddenly startled and charged off with a furious neigh as well. Su Yuxin's terrified scream rang out from inside the carriage.
The two carriages charged forward almost side by side. When Su Qiao's coachman passed a slope, he leaped from the carriage and tumbled down the earthen embankment. Meanwhile, the coachman on Su Yuxin's side was still doing his utmost to pull on the reins, foolishly hoping to stop the horse.
Unfortunately, once a horse was frightened, the harder one pulled, the more violently it struggled.
After learning what had happened, Madam Su's carriage stopped by the roadside at once. Madam Su anxiously directed the guards to rescue them.
However, it was already too late. The two carriages overturned down the rocky slope one after the other.
Just as Su Qiao's carriage tipped over, she pulled open the curtain and suddenly leaped out, landing safely without even a strand of hair out of place.
Su Yuxin, on the other hand, was in a terrible state. Ever since the horse had panicked, she had clung desperately to the carriage door and screamed wildly, never once considering jumping out. In the end, she fell down the slope with the carriage, was flung out from it, and then the carriage landed directly on top of her.
"Ah... My leg... My leg hurts so much..."
Su Yuxin had already been tossed around until stars danced before her eyes
