Chapter 306 A good dog doesn’t block the road
"There is no feud, you see? It's just that my father and her father have different political views in the court, so my mother doesn't let me get too close to her. I don't like her myself. Just because she has the title of the most beautiful woman, she always acts superior. I hate people like her the most."
When talking about this matter, Zhou Lingfei talked about it without any reservations and was not at all shy with Li Xiaoxiao. She really treated her as her best friend.
Otherwise, this kind of thing generally cannot be told to outsiders, for fear that someone with ulterior motives will go to Cheng Yuner and tell her what she is saying, thus making everyone unhappy in the end.
Li Xiaoxiao felt a little guilty about this. When she first met Zhou Lingfei, she just wanted to find a playmate. Besides, Zhou Lingfei's father held a high position in the government, so if she encountered any problems and needed help, she could give him a few words.
I didn't expect Zhou Lingfei to trust me so much. I must not let her down in the future and let their friendship last forever.
Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye it was the day for the banquet. Li Xiaoxiao dressed up specially that day, and called Li Ruolan to go with her, and reminded her again out of concern.
"Don't worry, I will follow you closely." Li Ruolan assured her, but she felt a little timid at the same time. She grew up in a farming family and had never met or seen a few young ladies from official families, let alone come into contact with them.
"They are also human beings, just like us. Why should we be afraid of them?" Li Xiaoxiao disagreed and tried to persuade Li Ruolan.
"Okay, I understand." Li Ruolan responded and stopped talking.
The carriage had been waiting outside. When the driver saw them coming, he respectfully stepped forward and lifted the curtain.
After sitting firmly, Li Xiaoxiao told the driver to go to the Censorate first, because to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion one had to pass by the Censorate, so he told Zhou Lingfei to wait at home.
Not long after they started walking, Li Xiaoxiao clearly felt that the carriage was moving much slower, so she urged, "Hurry up, Miss Zhou is waiting."
"Miss, there is a carriage blocking us ahead and we can't pass through now." The coachman's voice came quickly.
Li Xiaoxiao frowned. She walked this road every day and the surface was very wide. This shouldn't be the case. Thinking of this, she reached out and opened the curtain in front of her. She saw a carriage right in front of them, moving slowly, and it seemed as if it could stop at any time.
If their carriage went a little to the left or a little to the right, it would be able to pass, but it was right in the middle of the road, and if they forced their way through, they would collide with the carriage in front.
"Go and tell the carriage ahead to make way for us. We have something urgent to do."
"Yes, miss." The coachman agreed, parked the carriage and caught up with the carriage in front.
Soon the man came back, and the driver looked unhappy: "Miss, they said that the road is not ours, anyone can go there, but they won't give way."
"Oh." Li Xiaoxiao raised an eyebrow: "Do you know whose carriage is in front?"
"Miss, this is the carriage from the residence of Guanglu Temple Shaoqing Qiao Qingze." The coachman was sent by Si Chengxu today. Nominally a coachman, he was actually a martial arts master who was specially sent to protect them. It just so happened that Qiao Qingze also had some relationship with the Marquis' Mansion, so he recognized him at a glance.
"Qiao Qingze? Qiao Yueru's father?" Li Xiaoxiao murmured.
"Yes, when I passed by just now, I heard a voice coming from the carriage. It was Qiao Yueru."
"Whoever you want can come." So Qiao Yueru did this on purpose. Li Xiaoxiao hesitated for a moment and said, "You go sit next to me, I'll drive."
"Qiao Yueru, a good dog doesn't block the road, get out of my way." Li Xiaoxiao took the reins and suddenly shouted loudly at the carriage in front.
But the carriage in front was still stable and moving slowly, as if it didn't hear Li Xiaoxiao's call.
"It's not your fault that you were born ugly, but it's your fault that you go out and scare people with a face full of freckles. Why are you going to the Prime Minister's Mansion? Is the powder on your face thick enough?" Li Xiaoxiao laughed as she spoke. The mocking voice reached Qiao Yueru's ears, which sounded extremely harsh.
Women are born to love beauty. Qiao Yueru was troubled by the freckles on her face every day, so when she went out, she would put more rouge on her face to cover them up. She didn't expect that the damn Li Xiaoxiao would say such words in public. If others heard it, how would they talk about her?
She angrily pulled back the curtain at the back of the carriage. The carriage she was in had small windows on the left, right and back sides, and the windows at the back were slightly smaller.
She immediately saw Li Xiaoxiao following behind her carriage. She was also looking over here at this moment, and their eyes met in mid-air.
Qiao Yueru's eyes seemed to be spitting fire: "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll tear your mouth apart."
"The defeated general can only bark, what else can you do?" Li Xiaoxiao raised his head complacently and sneered.
"Don't be so proud. I won't give in today. Let's see what you can do to me." Qiao Yueru retorted. Damn Li Xiaoxiao for daring to say that she was ugly.
"I'll ask you again, are you sure you don't want to move out of the way?" Li Xiaoxiao gradually lost her patience and wasted a lot of time on the road. It was already past the time agreed upon with Zhou Lingfei.
"If you have the guts, get over my head." The more anxious Li Xiaoxiao was, the happier Qiao Yueru was. She knew where Zhou Lingfei was going, but she wouldn't let her go. Why should a peasant girl be on good terms with her?
"In that case, Qiao Yueru, I won't be polite. But you'd better not cry later." A cold light flashed in Li Xiaoxiao's eyes.
"If you have the ability, just use it. I'm not afraid of you." Qiao Yueru took advantage of Li Xiaoxiao's trouble and became more and more proud. Her tail almost went up to the sky. She let down the curtain and sat up straight.
He cursed inwardly, "You bitch, just wait. I will teach you a lesson when we get to the Prime Minister's Mansion. I will ruin your reputation."
"Gee." Li Xiaoxiao's voice suddenly came from behind. It seemed that she wanted to drive through. Qiao Yueru didn't care. Look at how capable you are. Is this all you can do?
Li Xiaoxiao pulled the carriage some distance away from the one in front, and then said, "Hold on tight."
Then he raised the whip in his hand and hit the horse's butt hard. The horse neighed in pain and ran forward quickly. The sound of its hooves hitting the ground made a dull and rapid sound.
Qiao Yueru in the front carriage also heard it and was anxious, but she didn't think Li Xiaoxiao would really hit her, so she told the driver: "Don't give way to her, just drive in the middle of the road."
"Oh, okay, miss." The coachman was a servant of the Qiao family, so he naturally did not dare to disobey Qiao Yueru. Even though he could feel the horse's uneasiness, as if it wanted to break free from the reins, he still held the reins tightly in his hands.
Li Xiaoxiao didn't care whether the carriage in front would move aside or not. He whipped the horse on its butt again. The horse ran faster and was about to hit Qiao Yueru's carriage.
