Chapter 360 3 Souls 5 Paths
"Mrs. Qiao, I'm a business owner. I sell a bottle of concealer for thirty taels of silver. You're asking for two thousand taels right out of the blue. Do you think that's possible? Also, the prefect has declared me not guilty. Why should I give you money?"
According to seniority, Si Shuiqing is still her elder, but she doesn't behave like an elder at all, so Li Xiaoxiao naturally doesn't have to take her lightly.
"If it weren't for you, Yueru's face wouldn't have become like this." Si Shuiqing slumped and pushed all the blame onto Li Xiaoxiao.
"Does it have anything to do with me? The prefect will make the final decision. If the prefect determines that I am responsible, I will naturally pay the money. If I am not responsible, then I'm sorry." Li Xiaoxiao spread out his hands and smiled fearlessly.
This was not the first or second time she had dealt with the prefect, and she trusted his character.
Besides, the prefect has just said that she is innocent, so letting Qiao Yueru and her daughter make a fuss here probably won't change any results.
Just as Li Xiaoxiao had expected, the prefect scolded them and upheld the original verdict.
"Haha, I'm dying of laughter." Zhu Lingling watched the show from beginning to end, and was finally amused by the shameless look of Qiao Yueru and her daughter.
I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen anyone so shameless. Even those who try to scam people on the street don't dare to do this. It really refreshed her understanding of the word shameless.
Seeing that the matter was a foregone conclusion, Si Qingshui and Qiao Yueru had to go back reluctantly, and glared at Li Xiaoxiao before leaving.
There is also Chef Zhang on the ground. It’s a pity that Chef Zhang was sentenced, otherwise I would definitely go back and give her a good beating.
"Thank you very much for what happened today, Mr. Prefect." Li Xiaoxiao bowed respectfully to the Prefect. She was grateful from the bottom of her heart.
"Why thank me? You are innocent. You can tell at first glance that Qiao Yueru is arrogant and domineering. If she didn't treat the servants like that, how could today's incident have happened? As the saying goes, it's not that there is no retribution, it's just that the time has not come yet." The prefect laughed heartily, losing his previous dignified majesty.
"Of course I have to thank you. It's because you are a good official, Daddy. The young lady's concealer is very useful. Qiao Yueru deserves it." Zhu Lingling was very familiar and took Li Xiaoxiao's arm.
Officially speaking, today was the third time she and Li Xiaoxiao met. The first time was when she went to buy concealer with Qiao Yueru.
Later when I went to pick it up, Li Xiaoxiao and I hit it off right away and we quickly became good friends. Today was the third time we met.
"Do you two know each other?" The prefect asked puzzledly as he looked at his daughter and Li Xiaoxiao being intimate.
"Yes, I knew her when I went to buy concealer. Dad, let me tell you, this little lady also knows kung fu. She's amazing." Zhu Lingling showed off to her father as if she were presenting a treasure.
"Okay." The prefect smiled with relief. Through several contacts, he could feel that Li Xiaoxiao was a good girl, and he was relieved that his daughter was dating someone like her.
When Qiao Yueru returned home, she smashed the few remaining things in the room to pieces. Even her favorite dressing table was overturned to the ground.
The doctor had told her not to touch water or go out, but Qiao Yueru didn't listen. When she got home, she felt a burning pain on her face, which made her want to scratch it with her hands.
But there was no way to treat it as there was a thick layer of gauze, so they had to ask someone to call a doctor.
When the old doctor arrived, he saw that the face, which had been well-wrapped before, was now completely changed.
After carefully asking about what happened after he left, Qiao Yueru answered all the questions in detail.
The old doctor shook his head silently in his heart. He had warned her but she just wouldn't listen. It seemed that her face was even more damaged. However, he didn't say it out loud and bandaged her again.
By the afternoon, Cheng Yuner actually arrived, accompanied by Zhang Qiaoxin and Wang Xiaoyue.
Qiao Yueru hid in the room and didn't want to see anyone. She used to be able to follow Cheng Yun'er around and show up in front of the official lady, but now she has become like this, she is afraid that she will never have another chance in the future.
She felt very sad just thinking about it. How could she get married in the future with her face ruined? This was the first time Cheng Yuner came to her house to see her. If it was before, she would definitely be very happy.
Now she really didn't have the face to see anyone, so Qiao Yueru told the maids, "I'm not feeling well, so let them go back."
"Yueru, I know you are not feeling well and have been wronged, so we came to see you." A soft female voice came closer and closer.
Qiao Yueru was originally sitting on the edge of the bed. When she heard the sound, she subconsciously wanted to hide inside the bed, but Cheng Yuner grabbed her hand.
"Why are you hiding from us? We are good friends." Cheng Yun'er held her hand and refused to let her break free.
Qiao Yueru had her entire face wrapped in gauze and turned her face away, not wanting them to see it.
"I'm not hiding from you, I just want to rest. You go back first, and I'll come to you when I'm better." Qiao Yueru said stubbornly, thinking that no one saw her face.
"Yueru, no matter what happens, we are good friends and we will not dislike you because of your face." Cheng Yun'er's eyes were bright and her teeth were white, and the words she said were very comfortable for Qiao Yueru to hear.
I was so moved that tears were about to flow. Miss Cheng is such a good person, beautiful and kind-hearted, unlike that bitch Li Xiaoxiao, who opposed her everywhere and brought herself to this state.
Finally, Qiao Yueru stopped hiding from her and looked at Cheng Yuner with excitement: "Thank you, Miss Cheng. I really don't know what to say."
Zhang Qiaoxin and Wang Xiaoyue, who were standing far away, saw Qiao Yueru's face. She covered the corners of her lips with a handkerchief and forced herself to suppress a smile. She was ugly to begin with, and now she was even more ashamed to face people.
"What's good or bad? We are sisters, Yueru, you are too formal." Zhang Qiaoxin walked over with a smile and said high-sounding words.
"You didn't tell us about such a big thing. You don't treat us as good sisters." Wang Xiaoyue followed behind her with a slight reprimand in her tone.
"I was so angry at the time that I didn't think too much. I just wanted to find Li Xiaoxiao to argue with her. I didn't expect that she was so insidious and cunning. The corrupt official colluded with her and sentenced her not guilty. I was really angry to death."
Thinking of this, Qiao Yueru gnashed her teeth in anger and wished she could cut Li Xiaoxiao into pieces.
Cheng Yun'er sat on the edge of the bed and glanced at Zhang Qiaoxin silently.
"Doesn't the prefect always handle cases impartially? Why is he siding with Li Xiaoxiao this time?" Zhang Qiaoxin immediately understood what he meant and spoke after careful consideration.
"Who knows what kind of magic that vixen Li Xiaoxiao used? Even the prefect is on her side." Qiao Yueru believed from the beginning to the end that this matter was Li Xiaoxiao's fault.
"Who made her so beautiful? Any man would be fascinated by her. She has the capital." Wang Xiaoyue pointedly led her to think in that direction.
