The Rebirth of an Ill-Fated Consort

Chapter 91 : You've Lost

As the horse carriages journeyed along the mountain road, it was inevitable that it would be troublesome. Fortunately, the coachmen that Jiang Xin Eunwoo had found were very skilful. They navigated the extremely muddy roads such that the journey was steady and stable, and those sitting in the carriage felt not the slightest bit indisposed.

Xue Yi cliff was rugged and precipitous, looking like a sword which had been snapped in half, a sheer precipice which struck fear into people's hearts. The mountain was densely covered in forest, and the night owls which nested in the trees were occasionally startled by the sound of horse carriages passing through. They would launch themselves into the air, leaving only black shadows behind.

The road to Xue Yi cliff wound through high mountains and deep valleys, lush with verdant foliage and sporting craggy rocks in strange shapes. It possessed a unique kind of danger, and those from rich families liked to stop there for a time, to enjoy the rare and beautiful scenery. However, ever since it had started to rain continuously in the capital, the road had become unbearably muddy. With the sun refusing to make its appearance, and dark, gloomy clouds continually looming overhead, the formerly beautiful scenery had taken on an eerie cast.

The five horse carriages moved forward in silence. The foremost carriage was Jiang Mingyu 's; his was the only carriage that looked different from the others, being not quite as refined. However, it was still presentable. Immediately following his carriage in sequence were those of Jiang Lisa , Jiang Su Nancy , Jiang Yeri , and Jiang Tzuyu . The coachmen did not speak, and neither did the inhabitants of the carriages. As a result, the only sounds were those of the horsewhip landing on the bodies of the horses and the turning of the carriage wheels.

Carriage will probably look something like this.

Jiang Lisa leaned against the soft cushions of the carriage as Lu Zhu steeped tea for her. The carriage Xia Yan had prepared was indeed exquisite, and there was even a small table inside. Jiang Lisa had been very busy that morning and consequently had eaten little, so Lian Qiao and Bai Zhi had brought a few snacks along. Lu Zhu had skillfully preserved some of the plum blossoms that had been plucked two days ago, and was currently steeping plum blossom tea for Jiang Lisa in the carriage.

The sweet aroma Issued forth from her carriage and wafted through the air, reaching the noses of the people in the carriages at the rear.

Jiang Yeri snorted in disdain and said, "Of course she would enjoy herself." She looked around and grew angry at the fact that the maidservants beside her were not only not as quick-witted as Jiang Lisa 's, but were also not as close to her as Jiang Lisa 's were to her. Not a single snack had been prepared.

However, Jiang Su Nancy had something else on her mind. When she saw that Jiang Lisa was even in the mood to drink tea and nibble on snacks, her face under the veil tensed, and she said quietly, "Go and die!"

Jiang Tzuyu simply leaned against the carriage window in a light doze, seemingly unaffected by everything.

The road to Xue Yi cliff stretching ahead of them could be said to be manageable. Then, they eventually reached the most dangerous stretch of road.

The road here was narrow, with valleys on both sides. Sandwiched in the middle was the narrow trail, like the mouth of a calabash. Hence, this stretch of road had been named, 'Calabash Mouth', and the valleys on either side were dense jungle. When the lead carriage reached the start of Calabash Mouth, a slight rustling was suddenly heard among the trees.
