Chapter 393: It is difficult to help in times of need
The two women just happened to walk over and when they saw Qiao Yueru's appearance, they immediately guessed that what the leader of the guards said was true.
Because this kind of thing is not uncommon, there are often people who come to every official's house pretending to be relatives and friends to achieve various purposes.
But the guards were too cruel. Look at the beggar's face, you can tell he was beaten, there's blood at the corner of his mouth.
And just now they saw from afar that the guards were chasing her and beating her, and her screams were getting louder and louder, but this was someone else's business, and as outsiders, they couldn't interrupt.
But then again, even if someone comes pretending to be a friend, you can't beat someone to death.
"This beggar must be extremely hungry. Just give him a good lesson," one of the round-faced women advised.
"That's right. She looks quite pitiful. Let her go." Another woman also said.
The leader of the guards glared at Qiao Yueru fiercely again. He was just a servant in the Prime Minister's Mansion. If any news that was unfavorable to the Prime Minister's Mansion got out, he would not only lose his job but also his life.
It's not worth it for such a beggar: "That's right, I just taught her a lesson, who knew that this beggar would yell so loudly, and those who don't know would think I did something to her."
The leader of the guards walked down the stairs, speaking very calmly, then turned around and went back with the other two.
The round-faced cook was a kind-hearted person. Looking at Qiao Yueru, who was beaten half to death, she sighed softly. Today, the young master of their family specifically asked for meat buns from Zhang's Bun Shop, so the two of them went to buy buns for the young master.
They bought more than ten in total, and the young master definitely couldn't finish them all by himself. The round-faced cook whispered to the woman next to her, then took out two meat buns from the basket and handed them to Qiao Yueru.
At this time, Qiao Yueru was lying on the ground dying. She felt like she was going to die at any time. She had no strength in her body. The leader of the guards was so cruel that her body was in pain all over. If she hadn't had clothes to cover it, it would have been bruised and purple.
"Girl, wake up. You must be hungry. Here's a bun." The round-faced woman squatted down, approached Qiao Yueru, and called her softly.
When she heard the word "baozi", Qiao Yueru closed her eyes and hummed, "baozi, she wanted to eat baozi". Then her eyelids kept trembling, and it took a while before she finally opened a crack.
She looked around for the buns, and finally saw two big white flour buns in the woman's hands. She didn't know where she got the strength from, but Qiao Yueru sat up all of a sudden.
He grabbed the bun from the woman's hand and stuffed it into his mouth with all his strength. He wanted to swallow the big bun in one gulp, and his cheeks were bulging.
Qiao Yueru was so hungry that she quickly ate two buns but still felt unfull. She looked at the round-faced cook again with longing eyes.
The round-faced cook had a daughter who was about the same age as Qiao Yueru. Looking at the scars on Qiao Yueru's face, she was filled with love and took out two buns from the basket and handed them to her.
This time, Qiao Yueru was finally full. She couldn’t remember how many days it had been since she had eaten such a full meal.
This was the first time someone had offered her a helping hand since she left the Qiao Mansion. After going through so many things, Qiao Yueru finally understood the meaning of a sentence.
It is easy to add flowers to a beautiful woman, but it is difficult to help someone in need. I thanked the round-faced woman again and again.
The round-faced woman was kind-hearted, and before she left, she took out a few copper coins and gave them to her.
After eating, the pain in her body seemed to be relieved a lot. Qiao Yueru lay on the ground for a long time before she slowly got up and looked aimlessly at the empty street.
Finally, her gaze fell in the direction of the Prime Minister's Mansion. From her current distance, she could still vaguely see the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, but she only took a glance and then retracted her gaze.
After today's lesson, no matter whether Cheng Yun'er will help her or not, she will never come to the Prime Minister's Mansion again in her life.
If it happened again, she really couldn't guarantee that she would have the luck to escape alive from those guards.
Li Xiaoxiao has been in a good mood recently. She sneaked into the Marquis' Mansion again last night. Si Wei Zhong's symptoms were similar to what she expected. Although this disease is not fatal, it is enough to torture people.
This is exactly the effect we want, to make him live a life worse than death and in pain every day. Everyone must be responsible for what they have done, it's not that there is no retribution, it's just that the time has not come yet.
In addition to this happy thing, there was another thing that made her feel depressed, that was Zhou Lingfei. It seemed that Zhou Lingfei had not come for more than ten days.
She used to come very frequently, because she was lively and capricious, sometimes once every three days, sometimes three times a day.
But this time it was different, very different. I remember the last time I saw her, I only saw her back in the crowd. Li Xiaoxiao was not sure at that time, but looking back, that person was really likely to be her.
What on earth happened that made her walk to the door and then turn back? Li Xiaoxiao rethought what had happened during that period of time.
She really discovered the problem. During that period of time, she knew that Si Chengxu and Gu Feiyan liked her, but she did not respond to either of them.
Moreover, she knew that they liked her, but the final layer of window paper was not broken. Could it be that Zhou Lingfei knew that Gu Feiyan liked her, so she stopped associating with her?
Li Xiaoxiao's brows were furrowed so tightly that they could pinch a fly to death. She felt angry and amused at the same time. It looked like Zhou Lingfei had probably misunderstood her. No, she couldn't let Lingfei continue to misunderstand.
They had to find her and talk things out in person. Zhou Lingfei looked carefree, but she was actually very thoughtful. It had been so many days, and she must have cried countless times. Li Xiaoxiao felt really sorry for her when she thought about it.
So she quickly arrived at the Censorate. Because Li Xiaoxiao and Zhou Lingfei had always had a good relationship, she went in directly without notifying anyone when she arrived.
She was waiting in the reception room, and the maid was going to report to Zhou Lingfei. However, after waiting for a long time, the maid still didn't come. Li Xiaoxiao became a little anxious and decided to go to Zhou Lingfei's residence to check it out herself.
As soon as I walked out of the room, I saw the maid coming back with a slightly unnatural look on her face.
"Miss, my young lady is not feeling well today and is not convenient to meet guests. How about you come another day?" The maid said tactfully.
But Li Xiaoxiao didn't believe it. Zhou Lingfei was as strong as a calf, so how could she not feel uncomfortable? Besides, even if she was not feeling well, couldn't she just see her? She didn't need to guess to know that this was an excuse she made up.
"I'll just say a few words to her and leave after that. It won't take too long." Li Xiaoxiao ignored her and walked around her and wanted to go outside.
Since Zhou Lingfei didn't want to see her, she would go there herself.
