The men from Landlord Tian's side ran to the village entrance just in time to see Mrs. Lan and Shen Yuzhu scrambling onto a carriage.
"Quick, they're over there!"
"Hurry, coachman, hurry! Don't let them catch us!" Mrs. Lan saw that they had been discovered and rushed the driver.
The coachman, seeing that people were chasing after his passengers and noticing they were dressed identically, immediately realized they were the serving staff from some wealthy family. Fearful that trouble was brewing, he saw an opportunity to make money. "Madam and Miss, it might be faster if you run yourselves. My horse is old and just completed a long ride. It hasn't had enough rest, it can't run any faster now!"
"Just do your job, if we lose them, I'll give you a tael of silver." Damn, what nonsense about his horse being unable to run! This was clearly an attempt to raise his price!
The coachman grumbled. If his horse broke from being overworked, what use was each tael of silver?
