Chapter 313 Hard to guard against
Evidence? Where did she get any evidence? No one else saw it at the time.
"What I'm talking about is the evidence. Go and capture her and send her to jail. Let the prefect sentence her severely." Qiao Yueru pointed at the guards on both sides and asked them to arrest Li Xiaoxiao.
The guard is from the Prime Minister's Mansion. How could this crazy woman who came out of nowhere listen to her? Who does she think she is?
"Miss Qiao, I see you are tired. Go take Miss Qiao to the guest room to have some rest." At this time Cheng Yun'er had to stand up, her face slightly cold. This Qiao Yueru turned out to be even more stupid than she had imagined. She dared to order her guards around in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
It's barely okay to use her to cause trouble for Li Xiaoxiao, but it's impossible to deal with her because their IQs are not on the same level.
"Ms. Cheng, I..." Qiao Yueru didn't expect it to be like this. She wanted to say something else, but Cheng Yun'er gave her a cold look, which scared her so much that she didn't dare to open her mouth.
Two maids came over and half pulled and half dragged Qiao Yueru down.
Watching Qiao Yueru walk away, Cheng Yuner let out a long breath, and the next moment her face had regained a gentle smile: "Miss Qiao is probably too frightened, everyone please don't be so polite, she will probably be fine after a rest."
After all, she was the one who hired the person, and it would be embarrassing for her if such a big embarrassment happened.
"Look at what Miss Cheng said. Qiao Yueru is a straightforward person. How can we not understand her?"
"Yes, Miss Cheng is kind-hearted and takes everything on herself."
"Miss Cheng must have done a lot of good things to send her a letter."
Because Cheng Yun'er is the prime minister's daughter and is recognized as the most beautiful and talented woman in the capital, no matter where she goes, there will always be a group of people flattering her and praising her highly.
They were in the East Garden of the Prime Minister's Mansion. There was a slightly smaller garden further south, and quite a few people had gathered there.
The Prime Minister has one daughter and one son. Cheng Yun'er is the elder sister, and she has a younger brother who was born in the same year as her. Cheng Yun'er was born in the first month of the year, and her younger brother was born in the twelfth month.
Cheng Yun'er invited quite a few young ladies and wives from official families, while her brother Cheng Kun invited only the young masters from the capital.
The place where he held the banquet was in this garden. The gatherings of men were different from those of women. Men preferred martial arts and learning. As space was limited, they gathered together to recite poetry and paint.
Altogether more than ten young men were invited, all of them were elegant and dignified. Since they had a good family background since childhood, they were naturally proficient in reciting poems and painting.
The most prominent among them were Si Chengxu and Gu Feiyan, both of whom held the highest official positions among the group. Si Chengxu seldom came to such banquets, but he knew that Li Xiaoxiao had also received an invitation, so he came together.
In fact, he was just worried about Li Xiaoxiao. On the surface, all the young ladies from official families seemed to be having a great time when they got together, but in fact, they were scheming and fighting against each other behind the scenes, which made it impossible to guard against them.
"We are honored to have Mr. Si and Mr. Gu here today." Cheng Kun looked mature for a young man, with a smile on his childish face.
"You're welcome." Si Chengxu uttered these two words expressionlessly and said no more.
It’s been a while since we’ve dealt with Si Chengxu, and everyone knows his temper, so no one takes it seriously.
"Mr. Cheng, you are too polite. Now that the weather is warming up, why don't we pick a sunny day for everyone to get together, feel the warm sunshine, and chat. It is really a great blessing in life." Gu Feiyan wore a white jade crown, his hair was combed neatly and meticulously, and he had a gentle smile on his face.
"Mr. Gu is right. As the saying goes, one should enjoy life to the fullest when one is happy. If one is busy working every day, wouldn't one be wasting the beautiful spring scenery?" Another young man in gorgeous clothes came in, holding a folding fan, and gently patted it in his hand.
"It's a rare opportunity for us to get together today, why don't we write some poetry?" Cheng Kun suggested.
"That's great. Why don't I go first and use this spring day as the topic?"
Cheng Yun'er quickly dismissed Qiao Yueru's matter with a few words, and faintly heard the sound of men laughing coming from the next yard.
"Are those young masters invited by Master Cheng in the yard next to Miss Cheng?" A girl in pink asked curiously, listening carefully to the voice coming from afar.
"That's right. The most handsome man in Beijing, Si Chengxu, and the second most handsome man, Gu Feiyan, are here too." When Si Chengxu's name was mentioned, Cheng Yun'er couldn't help feeling happy.
"What? They're both here!" someone exclaimed.
Everyone in the capital knew that Si Chengxu and Gu Feiyan had always kept a low profile and seldom attended banquets. Most of the invitations they sent fell on deaf ears. Unexpectedly, the Prime Minister's Mansion was so generous as to invite both of them at once.
"Yes, it's in the yard next door." Cheng Yun'er looked proud and felt proud.
After hearing her words, many of the ladies in the audience were whispering. The ladies wanted to see the handsome man, and the ladies wanted to find husbands for their daughters. They were all very excited and thought it would be even better if they could go over and take a look.
The chattering sounds reached Cheng Yun'er's ears. Not only did they want to go and take a look, Cheng Yun'er also wanted to go over. It felt like a long time had passed since she last saw Si Chengxu.
But she was the host of the party, so it was not easy for her to speak up. But if someone suggested it, she could just agree to it and go see the person she had been thinking about. Thinking of this, she felt her heart pounding.
Finally, someone couldn't help but bring it up. It seemed like they mustered up their courage and managed to force it out after a long while.
"Miss Cheng, it's fine for us to just sit here and do nothing. Why don't we go and listen to them compose poems? I heard that Mr. Gu is very talented in writing, and we haven't met him yet."
The person who was speaking was a lady. She was speaking on behalf of her own daughter. Girls are shy and it was difficult for her to talk about such things. However, she had to speak out because she loved her daughter so much.
"Oh, what are your opinions?" Cheng Yun'er was excited but looked calm. Although she was asking them, the matter was already a sure thing and she knew the result without saying anything.
It was just as she expected.
"We also agree that it's boring to sit like this all the time. It's better to stand up and move around."
"Yes, I have never seen Mr. Gu compose a poem. Why don't we go quickly?" With one person starting, the rest of the people followed suit.
There was only Wang Qiuhe, with a very long face. Hasn't she ever seen a man? What's so good about Si Chengxu? No matter how good-looking he is, he is just a face. He can only be used to eat or spend money.
Look, look, look, and no matter how hard you try, it's not yours.
