Chapter 1482: After modification: Chapter 1479 Sudden Accident
The old nanny scread out in fear: “Old Madam! Help!”
Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and the horses and carriage galloped towards a large tree on the side, crashing into it with a loud thud. The people inside the carriage flew out, landed on the ground, and vomited blood. Shortly after, they breathed their last.
A middle-aged man managed to control the horse, which was neighing in terror. The horse lay on the ground, twitching uncontrollably.
The old nanny’s face turned ashen as she witnessed the entire accident firsthand. Had it not been for soone rushing out from the side just in ti, the carriage would have crashed into the Huo family’s carriage, and the consequence for Old Mada Huo inside might have been dire.
Even so, the crazed carriage still knocked the Huo family carriage askew.
Coming back to her senses, the old nanny ran tremblingly to the carriage, lifted the curtain, and looked at Old Mada Huo inside: “Old Madam, how are you? I’m scared to death…”
Old Mada Huo leaned against the side of the carriage. Although she had been controlled at the last mont, the collision caused severe vibrations, and her head hit the carriage wall, making her dizzy and pale.
The old nanny hurriedly climbed up, helped her sit up straight, and started massaging her head. After a while, Old Mada Huo gradually recovered.
The old nanny quickly took a pill for dizziness from the wooden box inside the carriage and fed it to her.
“What happened?” Old Mada Huo, though still weak, insisted on asking softly.
The old nanny imdiately recounted the incident to her.
Old Mada Huo said, “Quick, invite that brave man over and quietly inquire about his identity.”
“Okay.” The old nanny quickly got off the carriage. The coachman was checking the carriage and noticed so cracks, feeling worried.
The old nanny approached the horse and politely asked the middle-aged man, “Brave man, who are you?”
“I was sent by Lord Chu to protect the Old Madam. My na is Zhang Lan.” The man gave a formal bow.
The old nanny was stunned, and then her eyes filled with joy. Since Lord Chu had arranged it, the safety of the Old Madam was secured. “Can you co and speak to the Old Madam?”
“I can,” Zhang Lan stood up, “but please ask the Old Madam to wait for a mont. I need to handle this incident first.”
The old nanny naturally nodded.
Since the accident attracted attention, a servant boy had already reported it to the officials. Seeing soone arrive from their side, he handed over the people, horses, and evidence without hesitation.
By the Huo family carriage, the old nanny and Old Mada Huo watched as Zhang Lan handled the accident. The old nanny couldn’t help but ask, “Old Madam, is he really arranged by Lord Chu?”
“Yes, he’s arranged by Lord Chu,” Old Mada Huo said with a relieved expression. Before Chu Heng left, he had sent her a letter explaining the nas of those assigned to protect her, including Zhang Lan.
Seeing Zhang Lan handle the accident and explain it clearly to the bailiffs, she felt a sigh of relief.
“Old Madam, what should we do next?” The old nanny couldn’t help but have a thought after hearing the confirmation, but she didn’t imdiately voice it.
Old Mada Huo shook her head, “No rush.”
“Old Madam, shall I request him to escort you to the palace?” The old nanny was truly scared; if the crash had hit, the Old Madam’s safety would have been in grave danger.
Old Mada Huo shook her head in disagreent.
