Chapter 371 5 thunder strikes
She clenched her fist with her intact hand, and the pain of her nails piercing her flesh let her know that all this was real.
"Your Qiao Mansion is so lively today, of course I'm here to watch the fun." The person who came was none other than Li Xiaoxiao, whom Qiao Yueru hated to the core.
Li Xiaoxiao looked relaxed and contented, as if she was strolling in the garden, looking down at Qiao Yueru lying on the ground.
"Get out! You are not welcome in my home." Qiao Yueru gritted her teeth and said angrily.
"I'm afraid it won't go as you wish. Do you know what these officers are doing?" Li Xiaoxiao was unmoved and pointed at the officers who were coming in and out.
Qiao Yueru followed her gaze. Although she had a vague guess in her mind, she didn't dare to think about it.
"Since you don't want to face the reality, let me tell you." Li Xiaoxiao said kindly.
"I don't want to listen! Get out of here!" Qiao Yueru screamed in anger.
"I guess you have a guess in your mind. Congratulations, it's just as you thought. Your father, Qiao Qingze, was corrupt, accepted bribes, and committed favoritism and fraud. Now the Qiao family is being raided. I believe you will soon be reunited with your parents in the prison." Li Xiaoxiao was very understanding and helped her solve her doubts.
"Impossible, my father is not that kind of person. Someone must have framed him." Her thoughts were confirmed, but Qiao Yueru still couldn't believe it.
"If there is no solid evidence, why would the government send people to search your house? So, just accept the reality."
"How do you know all this? Did you do it?" Although Qiao Yueru was asking questions, her tone was certain.
Li Xiaoxiao looked at her in surprise. She didn't expect that she would be so smart at this time. But what does it matter? She admitted it openly.
"I did it. Qiao Qingze has embezzled tens of thousands of taels of silver over the years. It was only a matter of time before the government seized it. I just asked him to do it a little earlier."
"Li Xiaoxiao, you have such a vicious heart. You will not die well. I am going to kill you." Upon hearing the news, Qiao Yueru felt like she was struck by lightning. She cursed viciously and wanted to get up from the ground, but she couldn't stand up after trying several times.
"Qiao Qingze just got what he deserved. What does it have to do with me? If you do something wrong, you should be punished. He deserves it. My brother is such a young child, and you are so cruel to him. If you want to talk about viciousness, I am not as good as you." Li Xiaoxiao crossed her arms and smiled proudly.
"It's all because of you. You've been against me everywhere and disfigured me." Until now, Qiao Yueru still insists on her own ideas. She is not wrong, and Li Xiaoxiao is the one who is wrong.
"Qiao Yueru, you are saying the opposite. From the first time I saw you, you have always been targeting me. I have always been defending myself. If you hadn't touched my bottom line this time, I wouldn't have thought of this method. So, today's situation is all caused by you. You can't blame others."
Li Xiaoxiao was telling the truth. She always maintained the principle that if no one offends me, I will not offend anyone. If anyone offends me, I will kill him.
"Hahaha, Li Xiaoxiao, I admit that I can't beat you, but someone will deal with you. Just wait, I'll watch the day when you fall." Qiao Yueru suddenly burst into laughter, and finally her face was covered with tears.
"Si Wei Zhong is just a defeated general. How much waves do you think he can cause?" Li Xiaoxiao didn't care. It was only a matter of time to deal with Si Wei Zhong. Now Si Chengren, Si Chengyi and Wang Qiuhuo were all sent to the farm.
Even if she doesn't have the time to deal with Si Wei Zhong now, Si Wei Zhong is not having a good time now and must be unable to sleep every night.
The evidence at the Qiao Mansion was solid, and Qiao Qingze, Si Shuiqing, and Qiao Yueru were all imprisoned in the prison, awaiting sentencing.
A few days later, the court's verdict came down. Qiao Qingze and Si Shuiqing were exiled to Ningguta, and Qiao Yueru was supposed to go with them.
However, her injuries were too severe and she was a young woman, so she was given a break, released without charge, and all her property was confiscated.
On the day Qiao Qingze and Si Shuiqing were exiled, Qiao Yueru was also released from prison. In just a few days, she seemed like a completely different person.
His clothes were tattered, his hair was messy, and his face was covered with criss-cross marks. That was because he did not listen to the doctor after he was injured on his face.
Her body had not yet recovered, so she could only find a wooden stick to use as a crutch and move forward little by little.
Her parents left the capital, and she was alone from then on. She looked up at the empty space outside the prison and didn't know where to go.
In the prison, she was hungry and cold, and her body was shaky and she was about to collapse at any time. After thinking it over again and again, she decided to go find Cheng Yuner.
She and Cheng Yun'er are good friends, so she should be able to help her through this difficult time. Under the scorching sun, she moved slowly like an old woman.
After going through untold hardships, she finally arrived at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Before she could get close, the guards at the gate came over to drive her away.
"Beggar, get out of here quickly, or I'll make you suffer." The guard at the door drove her away without any courtesy and pushed her with his hand.
Qiao Yueru lost her balance and staggered back a few steps, almost falling to the ground.
It took her a while to steady herself. What did the guard call her? Beggar? Qiao Yueru was so angry that she wanted to curse him, but when she looked down at her outfit and her face was ruined, what was the difference between her and a beggar?
Now she came to ask for help, so even if she was dissatisfied, she couldn't show it.
"Hello young man, my name is Qiao Yueru. I used to come to the Prime Minister's Mansion often. Please tell Miss Cheng that I want to see her for something." Qiao Yueru smiled at the guard and tried to soften her tone.
But she didn't know that her smiling face was worse than not smiling. She hadn't washed her face for so many days, and her face was full of wrinkles. When she smiled, all the wrinkles would wrinkle together, making her look even more scary.
When the guard heard the three words "Qiao Yueru", he naturally knew her name and looked her up and down. Although he couldn't see her face clearly, her voice was quite similar. Could she really be Qiao Yueru?
Cheng Yuner and Qiao Yueru used to play together a lot in the past, so after thinking it over again, he decided to go in and report.
But not long after, someone came out with impatience on his face and drove Qiao Yueru away again.
"Our young lady is not here. Leave here quickly, and don't come to see our young lady again in the future."
"Miss Cheng is not here. I can wait for her at the door. I have time and can wait as long as I want." Qiao Yueru was reluctant to leave because she had nowhere to go.
The only friend she usually plays with is Cheng Yuner. She is not familiar with Wang Xiaoyue and Zhang Qiaoxin, so she cannot go to them.
"I'll say it again, you can't come to the door again when my young lady is not here, do you understand?" The guard had an impatient look on his face and spoke in an irritable tone.
