Chapter 196: Eating a Dumb Loss
ssibly live happily ever after I know you wouldn’t bear to see her suffer, but you couldn’t disobey the Emperor’s command, so I took matters into my own hands and sent Ge'er out of the city to avoid t...“I swear to God, I didn’t!” Xiao Yufu finally understood what was being said, but she hadn’t done it, so how could she admit it: “Don’t fall for his tricks! It must be Xiao Yuge, she must be the one playing tricks behind our backs!” After several failed attempts to harm Xiao Yuge, she started to suspect that Xiao Yuge might have precognitive abilities.
“My lady, do you think we would still believe your words now Xiao Yu Ge has nothing now, and she didn't know beforehand that we would feign pursuit of her. In just a few days, how could she have arranged everything in advance If so, I think it's more likely that you did all this!”
Indeed, as Xiao Yufu's current identity as the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion and a county lord, she has everything she wants. If she wants to put on a personal performance, it would be as easy as raising her hand.
"Believe it or not, but this county princess didn't do it!" Xiao Yufu was bold. She hadn't done anything wrong, so she wouldn't let anyone frame her.
"My lady, things have come to this! There's nothing left for you!" Fan Deng approached her with a menacing look on his face.
"Presumptuous! What do you think you're doing" A hint of fear flashed in Xiao Yufu's eyes at their sight.
"I think the County Princess hired someone to chase after her own younger sister, intending to ruin her reputation. Such a shocking thing, if it were spread, I estimate that it would spread throughout the capital overnight." Fan Deng grinned wickedly, portraying the image of a rogue to perfection.
"You, you all!" Xiao Yu Fu only then realized how foolish her decision had been.
"My Lady, if you don't want this to get out, then before sunset this afternoon, here, we each want ten thousand taels, not one copper less. We guarantee that tomorrow, you will be the most popular person in the entire capital, even more popular than the head card at Chunxiang Lou!"
"This afternoon Where am I supposed to get that much money for you" Xiao Yufu's face instantly changed color.
"Princess, that's your concern. Anyway, before nightfall, if we don't see any money here, then it's all or nothing." Fan Deng, with Feng and Zhao in tow, left after delivering a harsh threat.
Looking at their departing figures, Xiao Yufu only felt a chill run down her spine. She should have known from the start that these three were nothing but scoundrels and hooligans. Getting involved with them was like playing with fire.
"Princess..." An Ling walked in cautiously. She had heard everything clearly just outside, and she couldn't help but sweat for her mistress.
"Thirty thousand taels Where on earth would I, the County Lord, get thirty thousand taels right now!" Xiao Yufu was flustered beyond measure. Although the Xiangfu had money, she had no reason to spend that much all at once.
And she hadn't even realized that this wouldn't be a one-time thing!
"My Lady, don't worry, let's go back and think of a solution..." An Ling comforted softly.
"What can I do after going back Can I make money" Xiao Yufu ate the bitter fruit of silence. Unexpectedly, she ended up losing everything by trying to steal a chicken. Her resentment towards Xiao Yuge grew deeper and deeper in her heart.
"Miss, the things the Emperor and Empress Dowager bestowed upon us before..." Anling reminded softly.
Xiao Yufu thought about it, and the tense lines on her face immediately relaxed: "How could I forget this" Although those things were all good, she was a little reluctant to part with them, but there was no other way right now.
"But, Miss, the Third Young Master of the Capital is notorious for being a scoundrel. This servant thinks they shouldn't just let go like this..."
"You still need to say that!" Xiao Yufu glared at her. It seemed that if she wanted to eliminate the problem forever, she would have to think of another way.
"By the way, the garden party will be in a few days. How have you prepared for what I asked you to do"
"Rest assured, Miss. Everything is ready."
Xiao Yufu let out a cold snort: "You better make sure this time goes smoothly, or else, this county lord won't let you off!" Every previous attempt had ended in failure. She always felt that everything was too coincidental. She didn't believe Xiao Yuge could be that lucky every time.
"Yes!" An Ling carefully followed behind her.
It was night.
Xiao Yuge was chatting with Qing Luo when a soft knock came from outside the door, followed by Feng Yanniang's voice: "Ge'er sister..." She understood, taking advantage of Qing Luo's inattention, she gently tapped her sleep point. Qing Luo let out a muffled cry and fell asleep in her arms.
She helped Qing Luo to the bed and covered him with a blanket: “Be good, Qing Luo, I’ll be back.”
She deliberately wore her clothes loose. Just to be safe, she first added an unsightly scar to her face, then put on a human skin mask, and finally covered herself with a veil. That way, even if someone pulled off her veil and took off the human skin mask, they would only see a face with a hideous scar. Even if someone recognized her, they wouldn't be able to tell it was her at first glance.
After circling before the bronze mirror, making sure everything was alright, I took a deep breath and then walked out the door.
"Host!" Feng Yanniang had already prepared to concede, dressed in a clean and neat manner, appearing cold and imposing, completely different from the charming proprietress she usually was.
"Let's go."
Xiao Yu Ge gently put on the gatekeeper's uniform. These days, she would appear beside Feng Yan Niang as Feng Ying Xue, a maid. She hoped everything would go smoothly. Though she was curious about the mysterious organization Thunder Pavilion, she also felt a sense of awe.
"Elder Sister Feng, who are all the people participating in this Alliance Meeting" All the way, Xiao Yuge was still quite curious. After all, no matter what, she was still just a little older child.
“Every year, only the top six martial arts schools can participate in the Allied Meeting. The Qianji Pavilion has no joy at night, you know them, and then there's our Frost Snow Tower, Fei Long鏢局 Liu Fei Long, and Qingfengguan's Moonless Young Master, as well as Hongxiu Mountain Villa He Hongxiu, and Wulin Alliance Tianjianmen Qin Zhentian!”
Xiao Yu Ge pondered for a moment: "That Qin Zhen Tian, I've heard of him. He's the leader of the Martial Alliance, right" This Thunder Pavilion is too formidable, even the leader of the Martial Alliance has to submit!
“Yes, our several major sects each have their own strengths. Qin Zhentian is known for his swordsmanship; the Flying Dragon Escort Bureau has branches in the Three Kingdoms and reigns over the Green Forest; Qingfeng Pavilion excels at intelligence gathering and hidden weapons; and Hongxiu Mountain Villa boasts the world's foremost intelligence network—they know everything that happens in the world. They belong to the Thunderbolt Pavilion.”
Xiao Yu Ge took over her words: "Frost Snow Building gathers poison and assassination in one, Qianji Pavilion is a mysterious assassins organization. Indeed, these major factions are all those that the Jianghu dare not provoke, and they all bow their heads to Lei Ting Xuan. I don't know what kind of powerful figure the master of this Lei Ting Ge is, who can actually subdue these people."
Feng Yanni chuckled and shook her head. "No one wants to be choked, it's just that they have no choice."f us when we stopped along the way."Brother, I'm now called Xiao Yu, the rain from the sky. Please don't get it wrong," Xiao Yuge said, and then glanced at Qian Sichin, but still didn't give him a goo...
