What to Do When You Can't Hold It Any Longer

Qin Sanniang felt a surge of joy and immediately stepped forward, kowtowing respectfully. "Miss Mingyu, are you planning to leave Haizi Village? I am Qin Sanniang from the village, quite familiar with Su Li, and I've long wanted to pay my respects to you. I was actually planning to visit today, and it just so happens we've met now."

Princess Mingyu at this moment wished she could leave the crowded place immediately to avoid anyone hearing her embarrassing noises. She was holding it in painfully when suddenly she saw the carriage stop, making her furious to the point her head seemed to smoke.

Princess Mingyu heard voices outside, probably more than one person. She was desperately holding it in to avoid further embarrassment, frantically signaling to Green Luo with her eyes.

Green Luo understood immediately and, without lifting the curtain, shouted, "Village woman, where do you come from? Move aside quickly and don’t block our lady’s way!"

Green Luo’s scolding was extremely overbearing, leaving Qin Sanniang stunned. She hadn’t expected her polite smile to be met with such blatant rudeness!

Qin Sanniang glanced at the few young wives and maidens gathered around her.

These village women had been rallied by Qin Sanniang herself. Using her cunning and tactics, she had finally earned their respect. Now, being publicly humiliated, she was unwilling to accept it silently.

Qin Sanniang was naturally fierce. Unable to save face, she ignored any niceties, stood firmly in the middle of the road with hands on hips, spat disdainfully, and her smile instantly turned to a scowl. She shouted, "Who do you think you are? I’m speaking nicely, why are you so hostile? Telling me to get lost—who do you think you are? Is this your road? I refuse to move, so if you have the guts, try running over me!"

Qin Sanniang’s fiery spirit was evident as she puffed out her chest proudly, a stark contrast to her previously composed demeanor. The noblewoman instantly turned into a shrew, changing expressions faster than flipping a book, leaving the young wives and maidens around her stunned.

Green Luo hadn’t expected Qin Sanniang, who usually fawned over her, to be so fierce. Meanwhile, Princess Mingyu was struggling to hold it in, her face turning almost green.

Green Luo, anxious, lifted the curtain and angrily shouted, "Qin Sanniang, stop causing trouble and move aside quickly!"

Qin Sanniang spat disdainfully: "Green Luo, you little shameless wench, do you even know how to speak properly? If you don't, go back to your mother's arms and suckle! If you ask nicely, your lady might be in a good mood and let you pass. But you, shameless wench, told me to get lost right away. I'm not happy about that, so I really won't move!"

On the carriage, Princess Mingyu was anxious, clutching her rear and struggling to say to Green Luo, "Quick, quick, let the carriage... hic—pass!"

Green Luo, sweating profusely in anxiety, took out a silver coin and threw it at Qin Sanniang, saying, "Here's some silver, now move aside quickly!"

Qin Sanniang was stunned for a moment, then looked at the silver—it was a full five taels!

Oh my, just for blocking the road, five taels of silver? This was like a windfall from the heavens!

Green Luo originally thought five taels would be enough to send Qin Sanniang away, but unexpectedly, Qin Sanniang shouted, summoning the group of village women with her, who all swarmed around the carriage.

Although no one knew why the lady in the carriage was in such a hurry to leave, everyone knew that the wealthy lady would pay to leave quickly!

Since blocking the road brought money—five taels at that—almost instantly, many opportunistic aunts, wives, and some idlers rushed over like a gust of wind, surrounding Princess Mingyu's carriage.

Those wanting money were a minority, but their actions attracted more villagers to watch. Soon, more than half the village gathered around the carriage to watch the spectacle.

Princess Mingyu lifted a corner of the carriage curtain, looking at the many onlookers and instantly wished she could just die from embarrassment.

What should she do when she could barely hold it in...?
