Chapter 361 Born to be rebellious
"Could it be that she seduced the prefect, so the prefect favors her?" Qiao Yueru muttered to herself as if she suddenly understood something.
Cheng Yun'er sat quietly beside the bed without saying a word. Zhang Qiaoxin and Wang Xiaoyue looked at each other with mockery in their eyes.
"That must be the case. Li Xiaoxiao is so shameless. The prefect is old enough to be her father, but she could have the heart to do that to him." Qiao Yueru usually doesn't have a very good brain, but she does have a rich imagination at times.
She can imagine anything freely, and her descriptions sound so detailed that people who don't know her would think she saw it with her own eyes.
"Yueru, you must not spread this matter. Xiaoxiao is a girl and it will damage her reputation. It will also be difficult to explain to the prefect." Cheng Yun'er was afraid that Qiao Yueru would spread the matter, so she stopped her in time.
Unfortunately, Qiao Yueru is born rebellious. The more you try to stop her, the more she will do that.
"Yes, Yueru, this is just your guess. Although it is very likely to be true, you'd better not tell anyone." Zhang Qiaoxin said earnestly with a look of concern on her face.
"I agree with what they said. He's the prefect. If you offend him, you'll end up in trouble." Wang Xiaoyue also echoed, her tone relaxed, not showing any concern at all.
But Qiao Yueru was only thinking about the dirty things Li Xiaoxiao had done, so she didn't have the time to pay attention to her.
Qiao Yueru's mind was now very active. She was certain that her guess was true. They were a shameless adulterer and it would depend on how she would spread the matter. She imagined that Li Xiaoxiao would be disgraced and kneel before her begging for forgiveness.
"Since they dare to do such a thing, don't be afraid of what others say. I know you are all kind-hearted. Don't worry, I will do this alone." Qiao Yueru said proudly. Her previous depression was swept away, as if she saw Li Xiaoxiao kneeling in front of her with her own eyes. That feeling can be described in one word: cool.
"Yueru, think carefully and don't get yourself involved." Cheng Yun'er kindly reminded with a twinkle in her eyes.
"Don't worry, I know what to do." Qiao Yueru smiled with a determined look on her face. This time, without the protection of the prefect, I wonder what else you, Li Xiaoxiao, can do?
"In fact, Li Xiaoxiao is quite lucky. She was a girl from the country and suddenly became the niece of the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion. Her parents are loving, she has an older sister and a well-behaved and sensible younger brother." Zhang Qiaoxin said sourly.
"I heard that her brother is very smart and is studying under Scholar Gu. I don't know how Li Xiaoxiao is so lucky. I wish I had a brother like him." Wang Xiaoyue glanced at Qiao Yueru who was in deep thought.
"Why envy her? Look at Li Xiaoxiao, she acts like a big shot. She must have offended many people. Sooner or later, her family will be punished. They won't even have a place to cry then." As they talked, they turned the topic to Li Huawen.
Qiao Yueru's eyes lit up, as if she suddenly thought of something, and she tried hard to suppress the expression on her face, not letting herself laugh out loud.
Cheng Yun'er saw all of her reactions. Qiao Yueru was really worthy of her attention. Sometimes she was smart enough.
The purpose of this trip had been achieved, so Cheng Yun'er did not sit for long and left with Zhang Qiaoxin and Wang Xiaoyue.
Only Qiao Yueru was left sitting alone by the window, her small eyes as big as green beans were uncertain. After a long time, the corners of her lips finally curved into an arc, and she told the maid to call Si Shuiqing over.
Si Shuiqing came over soon. She knew that Cheng Yuner had just come. She was very proud that her daughter was so outstanding that she could become friends with the most beautiful woman in the capital.
"Mom, I would like to know if you can give me five hundred taels of silver." Qiao Yueru didn't bother to waste time with her and went straight to the point and asked for the silver.
"Yueru, what do you want so much silver for?" Si Shuiqing was shocked. Qiao Qingze was just a minor official with limited monthly salary. Even if she had some gray income, five hundred taels was still a lot for her.
"Of course I want to take revenge on Li Xiaoxiao. She ruined my face, but she acts as if nothing happened. How can I accept this?" Thinking of this, Qiao Yueru gritted her teeth in anger. If she could, she really wanted to kill Li Xiaoxiao right now.
"What are you going to do? Will it be dangerous?" The mother and daughter had surprisingly consistent thoughts. It was all Li Xiaoxiao's fault.
"It won't be dangerous. I've already thought about it. As for what to do, just wait and see." Qiao Yueru was full of confidence. The more people knew about this, the greater the risk, so she planned not to tell Si Shuiqing for the time being.
Seeing Qiao Yueru like this, Si Shuiqing said nothing and gritted his teeth to get the silver. His daughter has always been smart and must have come up with a good idea. Although five hundred taels is really a lot, there is no other way. As the saying goes, you can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a lamb.
The next morning, Qiao Yueru went out with the silver. In order to hide her identity, she wore a bamboo hat and a veil on her face.
Without letting her maid follow her, she wandered around the street alone, looking around as if she was looking for someone.
After observing for a long time, she finally saw a few beggars lying on the ground in front of a group of short earthen houses. Before Qiao Yueru could get close, a foul smell came towards her.
Qiao Yueru suppressed the nausea in her stomach and took two steps closer.
Several beggars were lying on the ground weakly. They had not eaten for a long time and were already starving. Seeing Qiao Yueru was like seeing silver.
There are countless wealthy families in the capital, and occasionally some young masters are kind-hearted and will give them some money.
Qiao Yueru in front of him was obviously a lady from a wealthy family. Although her face was covered and her appearance could not be seen clearly, her clothes were made of good material and were very clean. She was incomparable to people like them.
Having been beggars for a long time, they naturally knew some of the tricks involved. Several of them knelt down in front of Qiao Yueru.
"My kind and beautiful lady, please be kind and give me some food. You are the Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara who saves people from suffering."
"I have a wife and children at home, all waiting for me to bring food back. Please have pity on us."
"It is said that good people will be rewarded. I beg you to give me some food. I believe that in the near future, you will find a husband of your dreams."
Several beggars knelt on the ground, praising Qiao Yueru with all their might, until Qiao Yueru was so happy that she took out a few coins from her pockets and threw them on the ground.
There were too many monks and too little meat, and only a few coins were enough to rob. In the blink of an eye, everything was robbed. Some people were quick and got two coins, while others were slow and got nothing.
He was so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick because he didn't get the money, and he almost got into a fight with the person next to him.
