Chapter 349: Unyielding
Qiao Yueru is short and can only look up to see Li Xiaoxiao, which makes her very unhappy. Also, it must be her fault that she fell into the lake last time.
She remembered that Li Xiaoxiao was the closest to her at that time, and she accidentally fell into the lake because of a sudden pain in her knee.
Later, she drank so much water in the lake that she passed out. It was two servants from the Prime Minister's Mansion who pulled her out of the water.
Fortunately, not many people saw it at the time, and Miss Cheng specifically instructed not to spread the matter, so at least she managed to save her reputation.
Miss Cheng is her great benefactor. If anyone dares to disrespect Miss Cheng, she will be the first one to not forgive her.
So with new hatred and old grudge against Li Xiaoxiao, Qiao Yueru would instantly get furious whenever she saw Li Xiaoxiao's face.
"How dare you scold me? I'm the daughter of an imperial official. Be careful or I'll sue you for disrespect in the government office and have you spend the rest of your life in jail." Qiao Yueru was so angry that she almost jumped up and pointed at Li Xiaoxiao's nose and cursed.
"Qiao Yueru, if you have the guts, go and sue me now, otherwise you will be this." Li Xiaoxiao didn't care and stretched out a little finger to Qiao Yueru.
"Don't think I don't dare. Just wait for me, I will make sure you are in trouble." Qiao Yueru suddenly felt ashamed and was about to rush out after saying this.
Cheng Yun'er just stood there quietly, lowering her eyes and listening silently to the conversation between Qiao Yueru and Li Xiaoxiao, as if she didn't hear anything.
Wang Xiaoyue and Zhang Qiaoxin followed behind Cheng Yuner, quietly covering their mouths with handkerchiefs to hide the mocking look on their faces.
Miss Cheng is smart enough to find out that oddball Qiao Yueru. Sometimes they admire Qiao Yueru for her courage, resourcefulness, courage, and perseverance.
"Yueru, we are here to buy things. Look at you, you are so impatient. Why are you arguing with a little girl?" Seeing that Qiao Yueru was so angry that she wanted to run out, Cheng Yuner spoke up at the right time to stop her.
"Ms. Cheng, look at her like that, and there are still people coming to their store to buy things. I think those people are either blind or mentally retarded?" Qiao Yueru was so angry that her face turned red, her chest heaving violently, and she put her hands on her hips and started cursing without caring about anything.
At the beginning, Qiao Yueru just disliked Li Xiaoxiao, but later on, she became a thorn in her side and she wished to get rid of her as soon as possible.
"Blind and mentally retarded, Miss Qiao, are you saying that all the people who come to my store to buy things are this kind of people?" Li Xiaoxiao was not angry at all. Getting angry with an idiot would only lower her IQ.
As soon as Qiao Yueru finished speaking, Cheng Yuner, Zhang Qiaoxin, and Wang Xiaoyue's faces all changed. Also, two young ladies who came to the store to buy things focused their eyes on Qiao Yueru.
Noticing the strange gaze, Qiao Yueru realized belatedly that she seemed to have said something wrong, and hurriedly explained: "That's not what I meant. I was saying that the things she sells are not good and she cheated others, not you."
"Miss Qiao, so many of us have heard it. Let's not talk about anything else for now. Miss Cheng is the most talented woman in the capital, and you say she is blind and mentally retarded?" Li Xiaoxiao deliberately involved Cheng Yun'er.
"Miss Qiao, our young lady had no grievances with you in the past and no complaints about you recently. But she was scolded by you for no reason. Please give our young lady an explanation." A maid dressed in emerald green clothes stepped forward and spoke up for her young lady.
A maid dared to speak to Qiao Yueru like this, so this lady must be of high status.
"Although my father is only a small prefect, please give me an explanation. I have eaten everything since I was a child, but I have never suffered any loss. If I am not satisfied with your answer, don't blame me for being ruthless."
The woman in tight clothes looks heroic and has a heroic look between her eyebrows. Although her appearance is not outstanding, she is very attractive.
As the woman finished her words, she crossed her hands and exerted force with her fingers, causing the joints to make crackling sounds.
Qiao Yueru's eyes widened with fear and she took two steps back in terror. She had only said one sentence, but why did everyone come to her to ask for an explanation?
She was so frightened that she didn't know what to do for a moment. How could things turn out like this? She looked at Cheng Yun'er in panic, but Cheng Yun'er's face was full of impatience and she didn't even look at her.
"Believe me, I really didn't mean that. She sold such a small bottle for thirty taels. Isn't this obviously trying to rip off a fool?" Qiao Yueru explained incoherently.
After saying that, he suddenly seemed to think of something and quickly changed his words: "Ah, no, it's cheating, cheating."
"What I'm doing is cheating people. Those hundred-year-old ginseng and thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum are so expensive that they cost thousands of taels. Why don't you say that they are cheating people?" Li Xiaoxiao sneered. She had lived a dull life for too long. It was nice to have Qiao Yueru jumping around in front of her occasionally to relieve her boredom.
"How can this piece of junk of yours be compared with ginseng, which is a good medicine for saving lives and healing the wounded?" Li Xiaoxiao got really embarrassed when he heard that Qiao Yueru was unhappy.
"Qiao Yuru, you are actually going against all the ladies and wives of officials in the capital by saying this. So far, more than a hundred bottles of concealer have been sold. You first called them blind and brain-dead, then called them fools, and finally said they bought junk. You are really brave, but you are the only one in the capital who dares to say this."
Li Xiaoxiao sneered in her heart, Qiao Yueru, don’t you claim to be a lady from an official family? Now I’ll let you taste the feeling of offending them.
"Go and bring me the list of all the young ladies from official families who have registered here." Li Xiaoxiao instructed the female accountant beside her.
The accountant nodded and quickly brought over a booklet.
Li Xiaoxiao raised it in her hand and said, "Not many, maybe about a hundred people. I just said one thing to you, and you went to the government to sue me. You scolded all of them at once. If I asked people to tell them one by one, what do you think they would do?"
"Haha, this is a good idea. How long will it take to notify so many people one by one? If your store is short of staff, I can ask my father to send a dozen people from the government office to ensure that everyone will know within an hour." The heroic girl raised her eyebrows slightly and said along the lines of Li Xiaoxiao.
"We can also send ten servants from our house to help Boss Li." The young lady who had been silent all this time spoke with a voice as clear and melodious as an oriole. It was obvious that she also held a grudge against Qiao Yueru.
"No, don't." Qiao Yueru stopped him in horror. If this matter spread, she would not be able to live in the whole capital. Those young ladies looked kind and amiable on the surface, but they had many sinister tricks behind their backs.
