Chapter 391 The difference between cloud and mud
Yes, silver. Qiao Yueru suddenly seemed to think of something and quickly reached her hand into her clothes, but she didn’t touch anything.
An inexplicable feeling of uneasiness surged in her heart. She hoped it couldn't be what she thought. Then she undressed her outer shirt and searched it carefully from inside to outside.
In the end, she still got nothing. Not to mention the silver and the gold hairpin, even the six copper coins she had left were gone.
Qiao Yueru was completely panicked now. Why were they all gone? Who stole them? Who was that damn thief?
Her mind was in a mess for a moment and she was so angry that she was about to die. The first time her money was robbed, and the second time she was careful and cautious, but in the end she still got nothing. Why did God play tricks on her again and again?
It's already miserable for her, a rich lady, to end up in this state. Do you have to force her to death? She doesn't ask for much, just enough to have enough food and clothing. Is it so difficult?
It took a while for her emotions to slowly stabilize. She wanted to think carefully about what went wrong. The first person she thought of was that man. Such a handsome man, Qiao Yueru didn't believe that he could do such a thing.
If it wasn't him, then who could it be? She was right here when she woke up. Could it be that someone took her money while she was unconscious? On the other hand, even if she was unconscious, the man shouldn't have left her alone on the street.
The more she thought about it, the more confused her mind became. Finally, she sat on the ground and burst into tears. She felt so wronged. Nothing went well for her. No matter what she did, people looked down on her. She couldn't even keep the money she had.
She started off by crying loudly, and then slowly turned into soft sobs. It wasn't because she had cried enough, but because she simply didn't have the energy to cry any more. She hadn't eaten a single bite of food since morning, and she only drank water in the teahouse.
When she woke up, her stomach was already growling with hunger and the few coins she had were gone. She felt like God was killing her.
But she couldn't just die like this. It would be so much better to be alive. Qiao Yueru put on her clothes and had to find something to eat. The first person she thought of was Cheng Yuner.
I just lent money to Miss Cheng this morning. If I go there again now, would it seem too abrupt? But it seems that Miss Cheng is the only one who can lend her money.
After hesitating for a long time, Qiao Yueru decided to give it a try. Compared with face and life, life is of course more important.
Even though she was starving, Qiao Yueru still staggered to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Looking at the tall gate and large courtyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Qiao Yueru was filled with envy.
Miss Cheng is really lucky. She is beautiful, talented, and has a prominent status. Look at her, compared with her, there is simply a world of difference and there is no comparison at all.
Before Qiao Yueru even got close, the guards at the door came over to drive her away: "Get away, you stinky beggar, and don't dirty our place."
"I'm not a beggar. My name is Qiao Yueru, and I'm a friend of your young lady. Please go and inform her." Qiao Yueru explained hurriedly.
"Qiao Yueru?" The guard frowned as if he had thought of something.
"Yes, we met this morning. She also told me to come see her if I had anything else, so I came." Qiao Yueru added fuel to the fire.
The guard did think of one thing, but it was completely opposite to what Qiao Yueru said.
Their young lady did go out in the morning, and when she came back, Xiangling, the maidservant beside her, specifically told them something, and that thing happened to be related to Qiao Yueru in front of them.
Xiang Ling said that if there was a woman named Qiao Yueru coming to see the lady in the future, there was no need to inform her, she should be kicked out directly without showing any mercy.
Not long after that, Qiao Yueru really showed up. Their young lady was quite smart. Judging from her clothes, she looked like a beggar, yet she even boasted that she was friends with Miss Cheng.
Bah, she is not even as good as a finger of the maidservant beside the young lady, and yet she says she is Miss Qiao's friend. She is so shameless! Have beggars changed their ways these days and come up to her to make connections?
"Really? Wait a minute, I'll be back soon." The guard looked at her coldly, then turned and went back.
Qiao Yueru was extremely excited. After going through so many twists and turns, she thought there was no way out, but there was a new way out. Now she could go to Miss Cheng to borrow money again. How much should she borrow?
In the street this morning, Miss Cheng didn't bring any money, so she only borrowed six taels from her. Now that she is in the Prime Minister's Mansion, even if she doesn't have any extra, she can go to the Prime Minister or the Prime Minister's wife to ask for some. There is always a way.
It would be better to borrow twenty taels first. She would feel embarrassed to borrow more. When the time comes, she would use the money to have a full meal. Her stomach growled at the right time and Qiao Yueru rubbed her flat belly.
"Just hold on for a while, and I'll take you to eat something delicious so you can eat your fill all at once."
When she looked up again, she saw the guard coming back with two people following him. Qiao Yueru was puzzled. Didn't he go out to report? How come he came back so soon?
The three of them all had ugly expressions and looked aggressive, as if they were looking for a fight. Before Qiao Yueru could figure out what was going on, she noticed with her sharp eyes that each of them was holding a wooden stick in his right hand behind his back.
It was not easy to see from the front, but as they walked, the wooden sticks appeared and disappeared behind them, and Qiao Yueru saw it clearly.
The expression on her face began to become stiff, from initial confusion to panic, and finally, she turned around and ran away.
These three guards were obviously coming towards her. If she didn't run now, when would she run? No matter why, the most important thing was to save her life. With her current physical condition, how could she withstand the torture from them?
Seeing Qiao Yueru running away, the three guards chased after her. This time Qiao Yueru ran even faster, wishing she could grow two more legs.
She had been hungry for a long time and her body was weak. Moreover, she hadn't eaten a single bite of food by this time today and was already starving.
She just wanted to borrow money from Cheng Yuner, but she didn't get the money and was chased and beaten. Qiao Yueru regretted it so much that her intestines turned green. She was just asking for trouble.
Even if she used all her strength, how could a woman like her run faster than three men? She could see that they were about to catch up with her.
The street where the Prime Minister's Mansion is located is not a prosperous area. It is surrounded by tall gates and large courtyards, which are the residences of some court officials. Therefore, there are not many pedestrians on the street, and only one or two pass by occasionally.
At this moment, Qiao Yueru was suddenly tripped by something and fell heavily to the ground, wailing in pain.
In a moment, three guards came running over and surrounded Qiao Yueru. "You stinky beggar, why don't you run away? You made us chase you for so far."
