Chapter 643: Going Around Randomly? Who Was He Trying To Fool!
When she heard him, Wang Xiangyun immediately came out from the carriage, opened the door, and walked through the curtain.
She didn’t see Dongfang Ming get back onto the carriage but the horse carriage left without waiting for him. There was definitely something fishy going on!
She didn’t wait for Little Tian’s reaction and immediately jumped off the horse carriage and went onto the main road to block it. “Tell me, where is your boss? Where did he go!?”
Dongfang Ming hadn’t brought this coachman from the capital and only hired him after he arrived in Anping Town. After all, only he would know the roads in Ye Yang and the other’s village.
“My lady, slow down. Careful not to fall.” Little Tian jumped down. The carriage was a bit high and jumping off of it really made her worry.
The coachman replied honestly after he saw Wang Xiangyun block the road: “Miss Wang, I do not know. The boss asked me to wait for half an hour before heading back to town if he didn’t come out, and told me not to wait for him.”
Upon hearing him, Wang Xiangyun frowned and looked towards the woods. She really couldn’t figure out why he would do this. Why did he go into the woods?
After Little Tian got off the carriage, she came beside Wang Xiangyun and asked the coachman, “Where did your boss ask you to drive the horse carriage to?”
She could guess that the reason Dongfang Ming did this was that he didn’t want her lady to follow him.
He also definitely went to someone’s house.
“He didn’t ask me to go anywhere. Mister asked me to keep driving the carriage around randomly.” The coachman looked at her and replied again.
Dongfang Ming had already told him earlier when they left the town that if Wang Xiangyun asked about this, he should reply this way. He couldn’t expose his whereabouts.
The coachman was an honest person so how could he possibly lie? His eyes were obviously trying to look away a bit.
Going around randomly? Who was he trying to fool!
Wang Xiangyun and Little Tian didn’t believe him.
“Tell me, where did your boss ask you to bring him initially? Is it to the house of the person who drew the drawings? If you don’t answer me honestly than you can scram and forget about continuing to work as my Brother Ming’s coachman!” Wang Xiangyun said to him very sternly.
Unless she was in front of Dongfang Ming and her family, she wouldn’t hide her temper. The way she spoke also made people feel she was ordering people about.
She also knew this coachman was only following Dongfang Ming temporarily. Once he returned to the capital, his employment would be ended.
Little Tian looked at the coachman, smiled slightly and said gently with a smile, “Friend, you should just tell my lady where your boss went since she is your boss’ spouse!”
She was able to guess that it was definitely Dongfang Ming who had asked him to answer this way. It was a pretext to stop her lady from finding him.
Spouse?
The coachman frowned when he heard her. He was in a difficult spot. Should he tell her or not?
Even if he were blind, he could tell from the way Wang Xiangyun looked at Dongfang Ming that their relationship was unusual.
But he never would’ve thought she was actually Dongfang Ming’s spouse.
If he told her, wouldn’t this mean he wasn’t listening to his boss’ order? If he didn’t tell her, wouldn’t the boss’ wife fire him anyway?
Although he knew he was just Dongfang Ming’s temporary coachman, his pay was three hundred wens per day. He didn’t want to lose this job and also didn’t want to disobey Dongfang Ming’s order. What should he do?
The coachman was at a loss and, after he didn’t reply to Wang Xiangyun after a while, she became impatient. “If you still aren’t going to tell me, then scram immediately!”
As she spoke, she turned back and shouted to her own coachman, “Wang Xiaoliu, come and drive Brother Ming’s horse carriage. Take it back to town with our horse carriage!”
Wang Xiaoliu was a servant of the Wang family and he also took Wang as his last name.
“Yes, ma’am,” Wang Xiaoliu immediately replied.
He could tell their lady was angry.
