Chapter 367 Blatantly
She is old and should not be dignified or steady, but she does not show that at all.
Si Shuiqing was holding the shelf and drinking the tea in his hand slowly, as if he didn't see Li Xiaoxiao come in and completely ignored her as air.
"Aunt, is Miss Qiao at home?" Li Xiaoxiao was not angry. According to seniority, she should call her aunt. She was already on someone else's territory, so she had to address her appropriately.
"I can't bear to be called your aunt. Just tell me what you want to say to Yueru." Si Shuiqing snorted coldly, with a look of disdain on his face.
"Since my aunt said so, I won't beat around the bush. My brother went out this morning and was kidnapped by Qiao Yueru, so I came here to ask for him." While Li Xiaoxiao was speaking, she stared into Si Shuiqing's eyes.
A person's eyes never lie. Sure enough, after hearing what Li Xiaoxiao said, Si Shuiqing's facial expression was stunned for a moment, and her brows frowned. It was obvious that she was not aware of what Li Xiaoxiao said.
"What nonsense are you talking about? How could Yueru kidnap your brother? Stop making a fuss here." Si Shuiqing reacted after just a moment. How could his own daughter do such a thing?
"If I wasn't sure, how could I come here to ask for someone? Now, wherever Qiao Yueru is, I will go find her and confront her myself." Li Xiaoxiao said firmly and loudly.
"You don't have to go. I'll go find her. If your brother is there, I'll bring him here. But if not, get out of my house right now and never come here again."
Looking at Li Xiaoxiao's determined expression, Si Shuiqing couldn't help but feel confused. Could it be that Yueru really kidnapped her brother? But why did she kidnap him?
"Then I'll trouble you, aunt. If it's really my misunderstanding, I will prepare a generous gift and come to your house to apologize someday." Although Li Xiaoxiao said polite words, her tone was cold.
"Hmph." Si Shuiqing snorted coldly, without even looking at her, and walked away with her hips twisted. She wanted to find Yueru to find out what was going on.
Li Xiaoxiao and Si Er looked at each other, and not long after Si Shuiqing left, they followed her and followed her from a distance.
This was in his own home, Si Shuiqing had no idea of these things. He went straight to Qiao Yueru's room and found that no one was in her room. He then called the maid and found out that Qiao Yueru had gone to the woodshed.
Woodshed, what was Yueru doing there? She thought of what Li Xiaoxiao had just said. Could it be that she really kidnapped Li Xiaoxiao's brother?
Without time to think, he quickly walked towards the woodshed without noticing the two figures in the distance.
The woodroom was in a remote corner of the back kitchen, where chopped wood was usually stored. Before Si Shuiqing got close, he vaguely heard the crying of a boy coming from the woodroom.
My heart suddenly skipped a beat and I took a deep breath. Usually no one went into the woodshed and the door was always open.
But today the door was closed tightly, and there was a faint sound of crying. Yue Ruzhen had kidnapped Li Xiaoxiao's younger brother.
He walked a few steps to the door of the woodshed and knocked on the wooden door: "Who's in there? Open the door quickly!"
Qiao Yueru in the room was sitting on a stool with her legs crossed. She got a handful of melon seeds from somewhere and was eating them while watching two servants beating Li Huawen.
That’s right, it was beating, and it was one-sided beating.
It was Qiao Yueru who started the fight first, but she was a woman after all, and she got tired after a while, and then told the two servants to continue.
At first, the servants were reluctant to do it, after all, the child was too young. But Qiao Yueru threatened them that if they didn't beat him, she would deduct their wages for three months.
They depend on the monthly money to make a living, and to deduct three months' money at once, is this not going to let them live? The master has spoken, and they, as slaves, can only listen.
Even if the two of them didn't use too much strength, how could a child withstand the strength of an adult?
After a while, Li Huawen was lying on the ground, gasping for breath. His originally clean little face was now covered with bruises and purples, as well as clear slap marks. His originally nice clothes were now wrinkled and dirty.
Qiao Yueru was in a good mood and was leisurely eating melon seeds when she heard a knock on the door. It was her mother coming over.
How did she find her way here? But it doesn't matter. If she had been a little later, she could have killed this guy and thrown him directly into the mass grave. Then, no one would have known about it and no one would have been able to find out that she was here.
Qiao Yueru stood up and opened the door with a bang.
Si Shuiqing immediately peeked inside. The woodshed was not big to begin with, and he soon saw a little boy lying on the ground, lying there motionless.
There were two servants standing nearby, both with their sleeves rolled up. It looked like they were the ones who had done the fighting just now.
"Yueru, what are you doing?" Si Shuiqing said angrily. Who knows what kind of trouble Li Xiaoxiao would make if she saw it.
"Mom, I can't deal with Li Xiaoxiao, so I can only vent my anger on her brother. If I don't vent my anger, your daughter will be too embarrassed to see anyone in the capital." Qiao Yueru stiffened her neck, always believing that her disfigurement was caused by Li Xiaoxiao.
"You can vent your anger, but why did you bring him home? And so blatantly, aren't you causing trouble for our Qiao family?" Si Shuiqing didn't think Qiao Yueru had done anything wrong, but she was wrong in bringing him home.
"Mom, don't worry, I brought him here secretly, and no one else will know." Qiao Yueru said indifferently.
"Li Xiaoxiao has come to my house, let's see how you end it?" Si Shuiqing seemed to have suddenly thought of something. He walked out of the room and looked around to make sure there was no one outside before closing the door.
"What? Li Xiaoxiao actually came. How did she know Li Huawen was here? I did things very secretly. Those thugs haven't even seen my face. Are you sure she is here to find Li Huawen?" Qiao Yueru couldn't believe it. It had only been such a short time and she had already come.
"Keep your voice down. If you're not sure, I can come here to find you." Si Shuiqing lowered his voice, afraid that someone would hear him.
"Where is Li Xiaoxiao now?" Qiao Yueru was a little surprised when she heard this at first, but then she felt relieved. As long as she didn't admit it, Li Xiaoxiao would not be able to be found in the Qiao Mansion.
"I came out to look for you. They are waiting in the reception room. You should get them out quickly. If she finds them in our house, it will be troublesome." After all, Si Shuiqing is older and thinks things more comprehensively.
"It's okay. The woodshed is so well-protected, how can they find their way here?" Qiao Yueru said disapprovingly.
Just as he finished speaking, he saw the door of the room being kicked open from the outside with such great force. The door of the woodshed was already in disrepair, and with the added force of the kick, the shaky wooden door fell to the ground with a bang, stirring up a cloud of dust.
