Chapter 312 Catching Thieves and Stolen Things
Looking at Qiao Yueru's face that was almost twisted with anger, Li Xiaoxiao smiled more ostentatiously, and even raised her head to give her a provocative look.
How could Qiao Yueru bear this kind of stimulation? She was so angry that she was overwhelmed. She shouted without caring about anything: "Li Xiaoxiao, you bitch, you mud-legged person, how dare you frame me like this? I will kill you."
As soon as she finished speaking, Qiao Yueru rushed towards Li Xiaoxiao like a gust of wind. Her voice was loud and clear, and everyone's eyes turned to her at once, with a lot of questions in their minds, wondering what was going on.
The hair that Qiao Yueru had combed before going out was already messy due to the bumpy ride in the carriage. The hairpin on her head was crooked, and her face, which was originally covered with thick rouge, now looked like a big tabby cat.
The clothes on her body were relatively clean, but with her face, she looked so weird, like a crazy woman, not at all like a lady from an official family.
But Qiao Yueru didn't know all this. She could see the clothes on her body, but not her head and face. She was only thinking about revenge on Li Xiaoxiao, so she didn't have the time to think about so many things.
"The guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion are here. How can we let this crazy woman in? If we disturb the ladies, you can bear the consequences." Seeing that Qiao Yueru was about to rush over, Li Xiaoxiao shouted at the guards on both sides.
The guards hadn't reacted to what was happening yet. They looked at each other, then at Qiao Yueru at the same time. Her behavior was indeed very abnormal.
If they really scared a young lady, they would definitely be punished as guards. Thinking of this, they all held weapons and stood in front of Qiao Yueru to prevent her from getting close.
"You bunch of dogs and slaves, how dare you block my way? Do you know who I am?" Qiao Yueru was so angry that she cursed. She was the VIP invited by Cheng Yuner, and it was really bold and presumptuous of them to be just a few slaves.
Cheng Yun'er just watched quietly without saying anything, letting Qiao Yueru make a fuss. Li Xiaoxiao glanced at her, and seemed to understand something in an instant, and sneered in her heart.
The two people mentioned above plus Qiao Yueru seem to be able to explain it clearly. It turns out that what happened today was not accidental but inevitable.
"Miss, I don't know who you are. But my lady is holding a banquet here today. If you are here to cause trouble, don't blame us for asking you to leave." The guards naturally didn't know Qiao Yueru, and she was not a lady from a famous family. So when they said they invited her in, they actually meant they were kicking her out.
"Let's see who dares." Qiao Yueru shouted softly, with her hands on her hips and a fierce look on her face.
"Haha, Miss Qiao is so arrogant. In front of so many people, she even dares to insult the servants of a first-rank official in the court as dogs." Li Xiaoxiao sneered.
It was originally an unintentional remark, but when Li Xiaoxiao specifically brought it up, it seemed to have changed its meaning instantly.
Dog slave means a dog's slave. If you think in this way, it becomes a serious matter.
Qiao Yueru is just the daughter of a small fifth-rank official. The prime minister is a very important figure. He would enter the court every day to make suggestions for the country and the people. He is the top figure on the pyramid.
How could a little girl like her insult someone so casually? The looks on the faces of the young ladies from official families present at the scene, as if they were enjoying a good show, were extremely stupid.
At this time, Qiao Yueru also realized that she had said the wrong thing. She wanted to defend herself but didn't know where to start. It was obvious that this was not what she meant.
"Did Miss Qiao and Xiao Xiao have any misunderstanding, and she said something she shouldn't have said on impulse?" Cheng Yun'er wanted to watch the show from the side, but Li Xiaoxiao suddenly brought up the topic and insulted the imperial official.
This matter could be big or small, but in front of so many people, if she didn't say something, where would the dignity of the Prime Minister's Mansion be? Where would Cheng Yun'er's face be?
"Yes, yes, Miss Cheng, you have no idea how hateful this Li Xiaoxiao is. I went out early today and ran into her unexpectedly. She actually tampered with the carriage I was riding in, causing the horse to be frightened and run rampant on the street, injuring many people by mistake."
Qiao Yueru screamed in anger, as if she had suffered a great injustice. She pointed at Li Xiaoxiao and told everyone about her evil deeds.
This actually happened. The people who were originally watching the show immediately stood on Qiao Yueru's side after hearing what she said. No wonder she was so angry when she saw Li Xiaoxiao. Anyone would be angry if this happened to them.
And it seemed that the reason for her miserable appearance had been discovered.
"Ms. Qiao, did you also come to the Prime Minister's residence for the banquet this morning?" Li Xiaoxiao acted as if she didn't hear her accusation.
"Of course, it was Miss Cheng who sent someone to deliver the invitation specifically to me." This was something Qiao Yueru could show off. Those who received the invitation at the scene were at least daughters of third-rank officials. She could be said to be the only one.
"Oh, I see." Li Xiaoxiao pretended to be enlightened, and then continued.
"But as far as I know, Miss Qiao's house is not in that direction. May I ask why you appeared in front of the Si Mansion and bumped into me by chance? Could it be that you did it on purpose?"
"You are talking nonsense. I can take whichever road I want. What does it have to do with you?" Qiao Yueru yelled with her neck stiffened. Li Xiaoxiao, that little bitch, how did she know that I went there on purpose to block her?
"Miss Qiao, I know you are not as good looking as me, nor as talented as me, but you don't have to frame me like this. Your home is located in the opposite direction from where I live. No matter which road you take to get to the Prime Minister's Mansion, you will not pass by where I live, but you went there anyway and blocked my carriage."
"In the end, I used the trick of torturing myself, making others think that I framed you. Which road you took, your carriage, your horses, did I predict the future? I knew where you passed by today, so I was waiting to frame you." Li Xiaoxiao spoke eloquently, in a clear and logical manner.
Yes, these three places, when connected together, are equivalent to a straight line. Qiao Yueru's home is in the east, the Prime Minister's Mansion is in the middle, and Li Xiaoxiao's residence is in the west. No matter how far Qiao Yueru goes, she can't get to the west.
Then there is only one possibility that she did it on purpose, which is easy to explain. Thinking of this, those who were originally standing on Qiao Yueru's side immediately turned around and stood on Li Xiaoxiao's side.
"That's not true, you're talking nonsense!" Qiao Yueru was panicked. She was clearly the victim, so why were they all looking at her like that?
I want to explain, but I don't know where to start.
"Qiao Yueru caught the thief and the stolen goods, and caught the adulterer and the couple, but you accused me of framing you without any evidence. Where is the evidence?" Li Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows.
