Yu Jiao hadn't heard anyone call her by this name for a long time. She turned around and saw a face she had seen not long ago.

Chen Yunrou was standing not far away. Her dress was no longer as luxurious as the last time she snuggled up to Qin Guang. Even her hair was only adorned with a bare silver hairpin. Her figure had also become much thinner. Her originally pretty and plump face now looked haggard and shriveled, which showed that she had not been having a good time these days.

Yu Jiao looked at her calmly, and whispered, "So it's you."

Chen Rou's almond eyes were filled with hatred as she stared at Yu Jiao fiercely. She walked closer step by step, her voice particularly sharp because of the burning hatred, "Meng Yu Jiao, you have hurt me so badly!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she raised her hand and slapped Yu Jiao in the face with all her strength.

But she was stopped in mid-air. Chen Yu held Chen Rou's hand tightly and squeezed it hard, causing Chen Rou to turn pale in pain. The moment she saw Yu Jiao, Chen Rou had lost her mind and was filled with hatred. She only wanted to settle the score with Yu Jiao and did not realize that she was overestimating herself.

In the past few months, she has been tortured by Qin Guang and almost lost her life, all because of Meng Yujiao!

Her dream of climbing up the social ladder was shattered. Qin Guang blamed her for the revenge of his broken leg and the humiliation by Young Marquis Gu. Not only did he destroy her innocence, he also threw her to be molested by the minions around him. In the end, she was thrown out of the Qin Mansion.

After the eldest brother knew the whole thing, he blamed her for relying on her connection with Qin Guang to provoke others without knowing her place, which led to such a situation. He also caused all his efforts to be in vain and could no longer rely on the Qin family's influence, which ruined his future career.

After her elder brother scolded her harshly for not being an impure person and asked her to go back to Changkui, Chen Rou finally understood that from the very beginning, her elder brother wanted to bring her to the capital in order to use her to curry favor with the powerful and wealthy so as to facilitate his career.

She had lost her virginity, which meant she was no longer of any use to her, so her eldest brother became so cold-hearted that he wanted to send her back.

After seeing the prosperity of the capital and visiting the mansion of the Qin family, how could Chen Rou be willing to return to Qingyu Village? How could she be willing to marry an ordinary farmer and be a vulgar peasant woman for the rest of her life?

But now she has lost her innocence and has not gained any benefits. All her efforts have been in vain. The more Chen Rou thinks about it, the more she feels that it is Meng Yujiao that has brought her to this point today!

If it weren't for the complications caused by Meng Yujiao, she could at least coax Qin Guang into bringing her into the Tongzheng Earl's Mansion to be a concubine.

So Chen Rou walked on the street in a daze. The moment she saw Meng Yujiao, a burning hatred burned in her heart and she lost her mind.

Shen Yu didn't recognize Chen Rou, his thick eyebrows frowned, and his handsome face was full of displeasure, "Where did this crazy woman come from?"

However, Chen Rou recognized him. Although she had only seen him briefly at Huichun Hall, to Chen Rou at that time, the young master of Huichun Hall was already the richest young master she had ever seen.

The jealousy in her eyes grew stronger, and she stared at Yu Jiao fiercely, but her words were directed at Chen Yu, "What kind of good woman do you think she is? She was sold to Qingyu Village to be a bride before she even reached the age of marriage. When she first came to the capital, she hooked up with the young Marquis Gu from the Annan Marquisate. She is a fickle and seductive woman who even lied that she is the third daughter of Liu Ci Fu's family. You have all been deceived by her! Why do you all protect such a bitch?"

Chen Rou's voice was excited and sharp, causing many pedestrians on the street to stop and watch.

All the money of the Chen family was given to Chen Zhiqing to go to Beijing for the imperial examination. Chen Gensheng lost his position as the head of the village, and thus lost his way to make money. After the flood, the Chen family had no more food to eat, let alone money to send a letter to the capital. Therefore, Chen Rou and his sister had no idea that Liu Ziqi had gone to the Yu family with great fanfare to pick up Yu Jiao and bring her back to Beijing.

Chen Rou had only heard a few words from Qin Guang, saying that she had been fooled by her. Meng Yujiao was not some country girl from a small rural area. She was clearly the third daughter of Liu Ci Fu's family!

Chen Rou naturally didn't believe it. Meng Yujiao was clearly a lowly maid bought by the Yu family for a happy occasion. How could she suddenly become the third daughter of Master Liu Cifu? It must be that Meng Yujiao lied and deceived Master Gu and everyone in Qin Bo's mansion!

Chen Yu was still holding Chen Rou's arm. After hearing these dirty words against Yu Jiao, his face turned extremely ugly. He twisted Chen Rou's wrist hard, and Chen Rou screamed in pain. She had lost everything, so she just gave up and acted like a village shrew. "You are also her lover, right? Are you angry because I exposed you? Do you dare to beat me to death on Chang'an Street? Is there any law under the emperor's feet?"

Yu Jiao looked at her frantic appearance with cold eyes, raised her hand, and slapped Chen Rou hard on the left cheek. She said lightly, "This slap is for Sister Fuling to pay you back."

Bai Lu stepped forward and said, "Miss, please leave this kind of heavy work to me. I won't dirty your hands!"

She rolled up her sleeves and rubbed her hands, seeming eager to try.

Chen Rou was stunned by the beating. She bit her lip and said angrily, "Where is Yu Qizhe? Does he know that you have hooked up with so many men? Even if you hook up with Young Marquis Gu, you don't think highly of him as a poor scholar, right?"
