"Why do you think that others have the same dirty thoughts as you?" Yu Jiao was a little fed up. Since coming to the capital, she had to be restrained and cautious in everything, but she was not the type to endure.
"You are so self-deprecating, and you want to climb up the social ladder by serving men with your beauty. Do you think that all women in the world are as despicable as you?" Yu Jiao said sarcastically, "When you stood beside Qin Guang and showed off your power, you should have thought about this day. You have fallen to this point, but you don't reflect on yourself, and you only blame others. I can only say that you deserve it!"
Chen Rou could not listen to Yu Jiao's words. She stared at Yu Jiao and said unrepentantly, "You are just proud now. Wait, there will come a day when you will lose your power. At that time, you will be the one being stepped on and humiliated!"
Yu Jiao looked at her indifferently, but she asked Jianjia and Bailu beside her, "If someone slanders and insults a young lady from an official family, how will they be charged if they are sent to the government office?"
Bai Lu immediately said, "Twenty strokes of the cane and three months in jail."
Yu Jiao looked at Chen Rou coldly, "Then send him to the government office in the capital and take our name card."
Bai Lu smiled slightly and responded, "Okay!"
Chen Rou finally felt scared, a look of panic flashed across her face, but she still said stubbornly, "You... don't try to scare me. You dare to say that you and Young Marquis Gu are innocent..."
As soon as the words "Young Marquis Gu" came out of Chen Rou's mouth, Yu Jiao raised her hand and slapped him again.
There was a crisp sound, and Chen Rou was furious and trembling all over.
"You are so bold to slander my reputation and destroy the name of Young Marquis Gu!" Yu Jiao felt a slight numbness in her palms, but she ignored it and just looked at Chen Rou coldly.
Chen Rou wanted to open her mouth, but when she saw Yu Jiao's hand showing signs of raising again, she shrank back and closed her mouth.
Only then did she realize that Meng Yujiao might really be the third daughter of Liu Ci Fu's family. Only a daughter of an official family could have such confidence and momentum.
It's just that she herself doesn't want to believe it.
Bai Lu took Chen Rou from Chen Yu, clamped her arms, and wanted to send her to the government office in Jingji.
Chen Rou was not willing to obey. She was terrified. If she was imprisoned, how could she face people in the future? Chen Rou struggled desperately, but her strength was no match for Bai Lu, who was skilled in martial arts. Bai Lu easily subdued her and dragged her towards the government office in the capital.
There happened to be a yamen runner patrolling the streets nearby, and he rushed over upon hearing the news.
The inspecting yamen runners and the people from the Wucheng Bingma Division had received Gu Yun's instructions. After learning Yu Jiao's identity and the whole story, they immediately arrested Chen Rou and said to Yu Jiao respectfully, "Miss Liu San, don't worry. This person dared to throw dirty water on you and the young marquis. Our yamen will definitely not tolerate it."
"Thank you." Yu Jiao said and looked at Jianjia.
Jianjia stepped forward, avoiding the sight of the crowd, and stuffed a silver ingot into the hand of the yamen runner, "Thank you for your hard work, brother. Let's go out for a drink after your shift."
The bailiff did not refuse and ordered his men to escort Chen Rou back to the yamen, without showing any mercy just because she was a delicate woman.
The crowd watching the excitement on the street gradually dispersed, but they all remembered that the third young lady that the Liu family found, even if she came from a remote village, was still the legitimate daughter of the Liu family and was not someone to be trifled with.
Chen Yu glanced at Yu Jiao, who had a cold expression on her face, and suddenly realized that maybe she wasn't that happy in the capital.
"Let's go back." Yu Jiao said calmly, and they returned to Chunlai Inn.
Just after Yu Jiao left, Liang Wushuang came out of the rouge shop nearby. She looked at Yu Jiao's departing figure and said to the maid beside her, "Go to the government office and rescue the woman just now, and meet me at the teahouse."
The maid looked embarrassed and reminded, "Madam, that woman has offended the third young lady of the Liu family..."
Liang Wushuang's face turned cold, "Why? Do you want me to go there in person? Or do the people in the capital dare not give the governor face?"
Having said that, the maid could only say, "Yes, I will go right away."
