Chapter 363 A splitting headache
Qiao Yueru told them the story she had made up long ago, and exaggerated how cruel, sinister and cunning Li Xiaoxiao was.
It sounded as if it were true. The beggars kept nodding their heads and became angrier and angrier as they listened. How could there be such a bad woman in the world? Only the monkey remained rational.
He is just doing things for people in exchange for money. It doesn't matter to him whether the person is good or bad, as long as he can get the money.
After all this was arranged, Qiao Yueru left contentedly, and agreed to come back here three days later to pay the remaining money.
Originally, she had asked Si Shuiqing for five hundred taels of silver, but she had only spent two hundred taels, leaving three hundred taels. With this huge sum of money in her pocket, Qiao Yueru felt like she was floating on the surface.
Feeling that she was superior to others, Qiao Yueru happened to pass by a shop selling gold and silver jewelry. She just took a look inside and was immediately attracted by the jewelry on the shelves. She couldn't take her eyes away.
My feet walked inside unconsciously. What woman doesn't love beauty? The sets of accessories, in various shapes and shining with golden luster, dazzled the onlookers.
The more Qiao Yueru looked at them, the more she liked them. Each one was so beautiful. She usually wore a lot of them on her head, but they were all gold-plated. Compared with these, they were not on the same level at all.
Although she was wearing a bamboo hat and had gauze wrapped around her face, it still couldn't stop her love for jewelry. She reached into her arms again and touched the remaining three silver bills.
The banknote belonged to her when she held it. When Qiao Yueru came out of the jewelry shop, she had a jewelry box in her hand.
All three hundred taels of silver were spent, and Qiao Yueru felt extremely satisfied. This was the most extravagant consumption in her life, and all she bought were her favorite things.
As for the one hundred taels of silver owed to the beggars, there are still three days left. I can find a way to get the silver then, or I can just not give it to them. What can they do?
The five beggars, led by the monkey, were stunned by this unexpected fortune. When they came to their senses, they immediately went to buy clothes and each of them bought a set of clothes.
When they came out of their cloth costumes, they transformed into a few elegant young men. They smiled at each other and walked towards the largest brothel in the capital.
They can get such good things as pie falling from the sky. If they don’t enjoy it, they will be ungrateful to God’s kindness.
It was not until noon the next day that a few people came out of the brothel in high spirits. They still had important things to do, otherwise they really wanted to stay there for three days and three nights.
Among them, Monkey has the most ideas and is the smartest, so he has the most say.
He suggested finding a quiet place to discuss the matter. After all, if things went well, there would be another 100 taels of silver to be won.
They beg on the streets, going hungry and cold all day long, so they finally come across this good opportunity, so naturally they take it seriously.
A few people found a teahouse and began to discuss countermeasures. To spread rumors like this, they naturally had to start with beggars.
They had been in the capital for a long time and knew exactly where the beggars were in the city, so they decided to split into five groups and spread the news at the same time.
Naturally, you need silver to ask someone to do something for you, so I specially exchanged some copper coins and small silver ingots.
Things went smoothly. In just half a day, many people knew about it. However, it also cost a lot of money. Monkey calculated that he had spent more than thirty taels of silver.
He was so distressed that he was scratching his head. He had originally thought of going to a restaurant or teahouse the next day, but when he thought about spending a lot of money, he immediately backed out.
As a result, something happened before the next day.
Qiao Yueru returned home with the jewelry box and looked at herself in the bronze mirror again and again. She liked herself more and more no matter how she looked at herself. The only flaw was the thick gauze on her face.
It took him a long time to dejectedly put the jewelry back into the box. No matter how beautiful the jewelry was, it would be useless without a good-looking face to match it.
Finding beggars to destroy Li Xiaoxiao's reputation was only the first step in her plan. The next target was Li Xiaoxiao's younger brother Li Huawen.
She knew that Li Huawen was studying in an academy in the capital, and would go to Gu Feiyan's house to study after class, so she planned to kidnap Li Huawen on his way to school.
This cannot be blamed on her. If anyone should be blamed, it should be Li Xiaoxiao who has done so many evil things and always gone against her. Now she has ruined her face because of her.
The idea is good, but if she really wants to implement it, she can't do it alone, so she needs to find someone to do it with her.
When Cheng Yuner came before, she boasted that she would do it all by herself, so naturally she couldn't ask Cheng Yuner for help again.
Then we have to find another way. Qiao Yueru thought about it and finally thought of a suitable candidate. As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
This person is Si Wei Zhong. His grudge with Li Xiaoxiao is even more serious than hers. Si Chengren and Si Chengyi were sent to the manor because of Li Xiaoxiao.
Because of Li Xiaoxiao, Wang Qiuhe was divorced from her position as the main wife and sent to the farm, so Si Wei Zhong was the best candidate.
So the next morning, Qiao Yueru went to Yuelai Restaurant to find him. It was not convenient to discuss such matters in the Marquis' Mansion as there were many people and eyes. If someone with ulterior motives heard the matter and spread it to the old lady's ears, then the matter would definitely not be accomplished.
When Qiao Yueru found Yuelai Restaurant, Si Wei Zhong was quite surprised. Si Wei Zhong and Si Shuiqing were not close and they did not visit each other often. She had never had any contact with her niece. So why would she suddenly come to him for no reason?
Qiao Yueru still had the bamboo hat on her head. She would wear it whenever she went out. It had become her standard these days.
"Uncle, I came to you to discuss something. Can we find a quiet place?" Qiao Yueru stated her purpose without any further ado.
Even if they no longer had any contact, Si Wei Zhong still knew his niece's voice. Although he couldn't see her face, the woman in front of him was indeed Qiao Yueru.
Although he was doubtful, he still took her to the private room on the second floor. It was not yet time for dinner, so the second floor was particularly quiet and there was no one there.
Qiao Yueru followed closely behind, then gently closed the door, took off her hat, and then the veil on her face.
"Why is your face like this?" Si Wei Zhong looked at the gauze wrapped around her face with a puzzled look on his face.
"My face was disfigured by Li Xiaoxiao." Qiao Yueru said in a calm tone, but if you listened carefully, you could hear a hint of gritted teeth in her voice.
"It's Li Xiaoxiao again." These three words are what Si Wei Zhong hates to hear the most now. He gets a splitting headache when he mentions her.
