Chapter 377 Silence
Tang Xiuwen is about to faint from the pain and doesn't care who hurt her face. She was nice to Qiao Yueru before because she was her daughter's child. Now that her daughter is gone, why does she need a granddaughter?
Moreover, she knew Qiao Yueru very well. Qiao Yueru was not a person who could be taken care of easily. In addition, with her son's instructions, she would naturally not have any contact with her in the future.
He was able to take out this money because she was his daughter, but that was all. He had done his best for Qiao Yueru and had given her a lot of money in the past.
"Hurry up and call someone to carry me back." Tang Xiuwen scolded the maid harshly.
The maid agreed and ran back in a panic to call for help.
"Ouch, it hurts so much." Tang Xiuwen held her waist and wailed in pain.
"Grandma, please hold on for a while, people will be here soon." Qiao Yueru said these caring words but she did not look anxious at all.
Tang Xiuwen is in great pain right now, so how can she have the time to spare? Is his concern for her sincere or fake?
Because they were right at the gate of the Marquis' Mansion, the maid quickly came with four servants and a stretcher, which was naturally to carry Tang Xiuwen.
Several people worked together to lift the obese Tang Xiuwen onto the stretcher. It took a lot of effort to lift the stretcher from the ground.
They walked slowly towards the Marquis' Mansion. They had carried Tang Xiuwen once before, and they couldn't even bear to think about the accident that time. They had to be careful this time and not make any more mistakes, otherwise they would lose their jobs.
Qiao Yueru followed closely beside him, and kept saying, "Slow down and watch your step." The meaning was self-evident, she wanted to follow him into the Marquis' Mansion.
Lying on the stretcher, Tang Xiuwen felt less pain than before. She thought for a moment before speaking.
"Yueru, I gave you fifty taels of silver. Go buy a yard by yourself and save the rest. Don't follow me into the mansion, and don't come to see me in the future."
Although she knew that Tang Xiuwen would not take her in, Qiao Yueru still felt disappointed when she actually said it.
"I'm alone now, helpless and helpless. How can I live a good life?" Qiao Yueru's voice was choked with sobs, feeling aggrieved.
"Why not? In your current situation, the old lady won't let me associate with you. You have to consider the overall situation, okay?" As she was about to reach the door, Tang Xiuwen spoke again.
Having said that, how could Qiao Yueru still be so shameless as to ask to enter the Marquis' Mansion? She slowly stopped and said, "I understand, Grandma. I will listen to you."
Several people carried Tang Xiuwen and quickly entered the Marquis' Mansion. Just as they turned into the mansion, one of the servants who was carrying Tang Xiuwen, who had a simple and honest face, glanced in Qiao Yueru's direction.
Qiao Yueru's mood now can be said to be mixed. She can't say she is happy, nor can she say she is unhappy. She suddenly has an extra seventy taels of silver in her hand, which is enough for her to spend for a while.
He tightened his clothes to make himself warmer, found an inn, asked for the best room, and fell into a deep sleep after eating and drinking.
She hadn't had a good rest for days, so she slept until noon and was finally woken up by hunger.
She went downstairs and asked the waiter to prepare a few signature dishes. Qiao Yueru ate them to her great satisfaction. Her face was already ruined and would never recover, so she just ignored it and just went out for the night.
After paying five days' rent and today's meal money, Qiao Yueru felt like she was alive again and went for a walk on the street.
She had no idea that after she went out, a sneaky figure had been following her.
With more than sixty taels of silver in her pocket, Qiao Yueru was not at all worried about her future life. She first went to the cloth shop and bought herself two new sets of clothes, spending five taels of silver.
She went to buy rouge and powder. Although her face was ruined, Qiao Yueru's love for beauty became stronger. Even if she didn't need it, she would still buy it and keep it there.
Then he bought a lot of things, which cost him more than ten taels of silver.
In the end, she couldn't get any more, so she returned to the inn contentedly. Because she had been shopping for a long time, she was quite a distance away from the inn.
Too much money was spent today, and Qiao Yueru wanted to find a carriage, but she was reluctant, so she took a shortcut back. She had lived in the capital for many years and was very familiar with the road conditions in this area.
Soon they came to a small alley. There was no one in the alley. Even though there was no one there in broad daylight, Qiao Yueru was not afraid. Now that her face looked like this, the bad guys would be scared away when they saw her face. What was there to be afraid of?
There were so many things to buy that Qiao Yueru's hands were full and she had some snacks in her arms. When she was in the Qiao Mansion before, she never had to do housework and her maids always carried the things for her. When had she ever suffered this kind of hardship?
She was silently reminiscing about the good old days, not noticing at all that the figure that had been chasing her since the inn was slowly approaching her.
Now Qiao Yueru just wanted to go back as soon as possible. She had walked such a long way and was so tired that she could hardly lift her arms.
As she was walking, someone suddenly bumped into her arm hard. Qiao Yueru was not paying attention and was knocked to the side. The things in her arms fell to the ground.
Qiao Yueru was so angry. Looking at the mess on the floor and the things she bought all covered in dirt, she turned around and started to curse.
Suddenly, a shiny dagger appeared in front of her without warning, just three centimeters away from her face.
Fortunately, she was quite far away from the man, otherwise, when she turned around, her face would have been directly hit by the dagger.
His originally arrogant attitude died down the moment he saw the dagger. He opened his mouth and swallowed back the curse he was about to say.
"You, you, what are you going to do? I have no money." Qiao Yueru stuttered as she spoke. She glanced at both ends of the alley out of the corner of her eye, but there was no one there.
"Hmph, don't look at me anymore. I'm alone. If you know what's best for you, hand over all the silver and I'll spare your life. Otherwise, this day next year will be your death day."
The man was dressed in black and had a black cloth covering his face completely.
"Please spare my life, sir. I don't have any money. You can take these things away. I really don't have any money." Qiao Yueru pointed at a pile of things on the ground in panic.
"Don't blame me for being rude if you're not honest." The man in black didn't waste any words. He slashed Qiao Yueru's arm with a sharp move. The cut was not too deep.
But blood still appeared, and drops of blood dripped down the wound. Qiao Yueru was so scared that her eyes widened and she almost fainted.
