Chapter 373 Pick 3 Pick 4
If it were the same in the past, she would definitely not speak to her in such a pleading tone. After all, she needed help from others now, and she had to bow her head under someone's roof.
Facing Qiao Yueru's earnest gaze, Si Xinyue became much calmer. What was the matter with being harmed by a villain? She had heard a little about Qiao Qingze's character. He was a despicable villain. Now he was exiled. He must have done something bad and was exposed. That's why this happened.
But she had no contact with her maternal family, and had only met this so-called niece a few times, and the relationship was not friendly. How could she just come up and ask her to take her in? She was not a Bodhisattva.
"Didn't your parents leave you some money to rely on?" Si Xinyue glanced at her indifferently and didn't respond to her.
"No, it happened too suddenly, we didn't know anything, and then the soldiers came and took away all the things in the warehouse. Now I can't go back to that home." Qiao Yueru felt more and more aggrieved as she spoke, and tears fell down her face.
Who knew this would happen? If she had known in advance, she wouldn't be so embarrassed. Would she have to run into obstacles everywhere?
"So you have nowhere to go now?" Si Xinyue nodded in understanding.
"Yes, auntie, please take me in. I will definitely be filial to you in the future." Qiao Yueru said sincerely, her eyes rolling as she looked at the customers who came to buy clothes.
The shop doesn't look big, but there are a constant stream of people coming to buy clothes. How much money can she make in a day? This is just one shop. As far as she knows, her aunt's family has several such shops.
Si Xinyue didn't say anything, but asked the waiter to find a set of coarse cloth clothes for Qiao Yueru to change.
The material of the clothes in her hand was stiff, and Qiao Yueru felt a little unhappy. There were so many good fabrics on the counter, but instead of letting her wear such a shabby piece of stuff, she got a set of them.
In the past, her maids wore better clothes than this. Although she was very dissatisfied, she didn't dare to say anything at this time. Since Si Xinyue agreed to let her stay here, there would be plenty of time to talk later.
With a somewhat stiff expression, he went to the back to change his clothes, and then took a comfortable hot bath.
When she came out again, she felt refreshed, all her previous fatigue was swept away. Si Xinyue bought her a few meat buns. Qiao Yueru ate five in one breath and burped with fullness.
It’s just buns. It’s not time for dinner yet, so I won’t be picky. At this time, Si Xinyue came over and put a purse on the table.
Qiao Yueru naturally picked up the purse, weighed it, and knew there were several taels of silver in it. She thought it should be the pocket money Si Xinyue gave her.
Now Qiao Yueru is glad that she came to her aunt's place. She really came to the right place.
It was just a small amount of money, how could it be enough for her to spend? She put the purse in her arms and said to Si Xinyue with a little shyness.
"Thank you, auntie. It's just that my parents used to give me fifty taels of pocket money every month. Is this...?" Qiao Xinru didn't say the rest of the sentence. The meaning was self-evident: what you gave was too little.
Hearing this, Si Xinyue didn't react much, as if she had known she would say this.
"Yueru, I found you a set of clothes, fed you enough food, and gave you a few taels of silver. You should leave now." Si Xinyue ignored Qiao Yueru's words and ordered her to leave.
Qiao Yueru, who was originally in a good mood, gradually became stiff in expression. Didn't Si Xinyue agree to take her in? Why was she trying to drive her away now?
The key is where can she go if she leaves here?
"Aunt, I don't want the money from you anymore. Please let me stay." Qiao Yueru panicked. Everything was fine just now, why did she suddenly ask her to leave?
"Remember that I went to your house before? Have you forgotten what happened then? Do you need me to remind you again?" Si Xinyue looked at Qiao Yueru's pleading look with a cold face.
"Well, I said the wrong thing at that time. Please don't hold it against me, auntie. I won't do that now. I know I was wrong." Of course Qiao Yueru remembered what Si Xinyue said.
That was the only time Si Xinyue went to the Qiao Mansion. Si Xinyue's husband was framed in his business and was reported to the government office. He might be imprisoned.
Her husband's family are ordinary people with no power or influence, and they have no other options, so she thought of asking Qiao Qingze for help.
As a result, after she explained the situation to the servant at the door, Si Shuiqing refused to see her and just said that he was not feeling well and was not convenient to meet guests.
Si Xinyue was so ashamed and angry that she wanted to rush in, but was stopped by several guards at the door, and the stalemate lasted for a while.
Si Xinyue was really worried because her husband was in jail. If it wasn't an urgent matter, she would never come to Si Shuiqing for help.
Just then, twelve-year-old Qiao Yueru just came back from outside. Si Xinyue immediately put on a smile and wanted to go in with her.
Qiao Yueru raised her head proudly and looked at her with disdain: "Don't come here to try to make friends with me. My father is a fifth-rank official in the court, and you are just a merchant's wife. What does your husband's life or death have to do with us? Don't come here again, and my mother won't see you either."
After saying this, the young Qiao Yueru walked into the Qiao Mansion without looking back. The door then slammed shut, blocking Si Xinyue outside.
I thought I could follow Qiao Yueru in, but I didn't expect that in the end not only did I not get in, but I was also ridiculed by a child.
At that moment, Si Xinyue secretly vowed that no matter what problems she encountered in the future, she would never come to the Qiao Mansion again.
Fortunately, because the other party made a false accusation and there was insufficient evidence, her husband finally returned safely. Since then, Si Xinyue never mentioned the Qiao Mansion again.
But she didn't expect that Qiao Yueru would have the nerve to come to her and ask her to take her in. That was absolutely impossible.
The reason why she gave her clothes and food was simply because she was kind and generous. Not only her, but even if she met a stranger in need, Si Xinyue would lend a helping hand without hesitation.
But Qiao Yueru didn't know, she thought Si Xinyue wanted to take her in, and she was still dreaming of living the same life as before.
"What have you done wrong? A few years ago, I went to the Qiao Mansion and was turned away by you and ridiculed by you. Since then, we have no relationship anymore. Take this silver and leave. I will treat it as sending away a beggar."
Si Xinyue's tone was cold. Qiao Yueru was really good at thinking of good things. Not to mention that the relationship between the two families was not good, even if the relationship was good, did she have to be supported in vain?
She is almost at the age to get married, and I will give her a dowry then. Although she is usually kind and charitable, she is not a fool.
Besides, Qiao Yueru is a bad person. She has fallen to such a state, and yet she still rejects the clothes I find for her.
If it were someone else, they would definitely be grateful, but she is still picky and still doesn't recognize her own situation. People like her should not be kept.
