Jiu Zhang Ji: The Daily Life of the Reborn Daughter

Chapter 135: Relying on the Sixth Prince’s Power

The two people following behind are Qiao Jiaojiao and Qiao Tingting, now they are called Tang Jiaojiao and Tang Tingting.

That day, Tang Yuan and his two sons were taken away by the Jingzhao Prefecture. Each of them was beaten with twenty boards. The women of the East Palace cried and made a fuss when they arrived at the Tang Mansion. The old man Tang Xing jumped up and down in the mansion. General Tang Qing had no choice but to risk his own reputation and ask someone to rescue the four of them.

The Mansion of the General of Cavalry took out more than 400,000 taels of silver, but was still stretched to the limit. They settled Tang Yuan's family in a courtyard in the mansion and spent money in a normal way, trying to be frugal.

When Tang Yuan's family arrived at the Tang Mansion, they had no money, not to mention a penny. They just had a little private money hidden in their pockets and the soles of their shoes. They didn't even have any clothes to change into or any gold or silver jewelry. They were extremely shabby. After changing their surnames, their quality of life plummeted. How could the people in this mansion be willing to accept this?

Isn't there old Tang Xing? Tang Yuan and his three sons knelt in front of him and cried. The four of them were already injured, and this made Tang Xing even more distressed. He took out all the money he had saved and gave it to this son who had been raised in someone else's home.

The family finally had money to buy clothes, jewelry, bedding, curtains, screens and ornaments. They looked more respectable when they went out, and the courtyard they lived in also looked presentable.

If compared with when they lived in the East Palace, it was still a world of difference. When they were in the East Palace, although they did not repair the courtyard and the courtyard was dilapidated, the houses they lived in were magnificent, and the food, clothing and expenses were also based on the rules of the Dingguo Mansion.

At this point, they also realized that they had fallen into the trap of the Duke Dingguo's Mansion. The old Duke's wife and Qiao Lili, these two bitches, one old and one young, just wanted to drive them out of the East Mansion, so they hated these two people to the core.

Hua Fengchun and several sisters had just returned to Beijing and had no idea about the lawsuits between the Mansion of the General of Cavalry and the Mansion of the Duke Dingguo. While sending a message to Qiao Lili, she also sent a message to the young lady of the Mansion of the General of Cavalry.

"My sister went to great lengths to drive us out of the house, and this time you got what you wanted and you can take over the entire Qiao family." Tang Jiaojiao and Tang Tingting glared at Qiao Lili. Their expressions were no different from meeting the murderer of their father.

"Your last name is Tang, and mine is Qiao. Don't recognize relatives randomly." Qiao Lili said to Tang Jiaojiao and Tang Tingting calmly.

She looked at the Tang sisters: "Aren't the ones who don't recognize their own children the ones who gave them to someone else to raise for fifty years?"

"Isn't it the Tang who saw that our Qiao family was about to fall into decline and hurriedly tried to climb up the social ladder?"

"Why, now that our Qiao family is still standing, you want to go back to your old love?"

"I'm really sorry. We in the Qiao family raise orphans of soldiers, but we don't raise ungrateful people."

Tang Jiaojiao and Tang Tingting were speechless, and looked at the Tang sisters with pleading eyes: "Two sisters, you see, when we were in the Qiao family, we were bullied by Qiao Lili in this way."

"You were born by your mother but not taught by her. Shouldn't you stay at home and observe mourning? If you go out and offend others, can you bear the consequences?" Tang Miaofu held the whip in her left hand and knocked on the palm of her right hand.

Someone actually brought up her mother. Qiao Lili couldn't stand it: "My mother can rest in peace because she has a daughter like me. Your mother can't swallow this breath because she is afraid that she will be so angry that she will crawl out of the grave even after her death."

Because the two daughters had a bad reputation, they had no chance to get married. It was said that the wife of the General of the Cavalry had been bedridden for a long time. Qiao Lili was not a sharp-tongued person, but the two sisters actually brought up her deceased mother. Mrs. Tang was sorry. It was your fault for not raising your daughters well. Just bear with it.

Tang Miaofu's face flushed instantly. This was an indisputable fact. She could not refute it for a moment. Tang Miaofu said, "Qiao Lili, how can you have the nerve to make an engagement with the Sixth Prince when you have the reputation of breaking off an engagement? All the noble ladies in the capital know that you are the most shameless."

Qiao Lili smiled, raised her eyelids, and used an infuriating tone: "The marriage between me and the Sixth Prince was proposed by the Imperial Concubine herself. Is it that she didn't get your approval or your instructions?" You dare to disrespect my mother, so don't blame me for killing you.

"You, Qiao Lili, you are so outrageous."

"You are brave."

The two sisters of the Tang family, Tang Miaofu and Tang Miaoke, were horrified. If this news got out, and the emperor didn't take it seriously, saying it was just a joke, but if the emperor took it seriously, then their family would be confiscated and their clan would be exterminated.

They were furious at Qiao Lili's words. This was sending them to their death.

The two of them had no place to vent their anger, and when they thought about the money spent by Tang Yuan's family, they couldn't even afford decent clothes and head jewelry to attend the banquet. Then they looked at Qiao Lili's high-end, elegant and luxurious attire, and they became so angry that they waved the whip and hit Qiao Lili.

The Hua sisters and the noble ladies present were horrified.

The two young ladies of the General of Cavalry's Mansion were notoriously domineering in the capital. Relying on the fact that they came from a family of military commanders, they would fight whenever they disagreed with someone. Many of the wives of ordinary fifth or sixth rank officials suffered from them, but they dared not speak out.

This happened too many times, and it only encouraged their pampered nature. The two of them were notorious, and people of similar social status looked down on them for not having the dignified and elegant manners of noble ladies. They also looked down on the smaller families who wanted to curry favor with the powerful and wealthy. This also led to the fact that one of them was nineteen and the other eighteen, and they were still unmarried, and there was a high probability that they would die of old age in the boudoir.

Both whips came towards Qiao Lili's face.

"stop."

"Hide quickly."

"No." Several voices sounded one after another.

Qiao Lili sat there motionless like a mountain. Su Shiyun and Chen Ruxin were so anxious that their eyes turned red. They both stood up and wanted to stand in front of Qiao Lili. At this time, Cai Xing and Cai Qi, who had been standing behind the few people, moved. One of them moved to Qiao Lili's side and used a soft sword to pick up the whips of the Tang sisters. Another one came to the two girls and slapped their arms with two palms. Only two crisp sounds were heard, and the wrists of the two people holding the whips dropped weakly, and the whips slipped out of their hands in an instant.

Tianming, who was hiding in the dark, was about to take action, but when he saw that the two maids were also very skilled and could protect the young lady well, he hid himself again.

None of the noble ladies could see clearly what happened. They only saw one of Qiao Lili's little maids move twice, and the whips of the Tang sisters fell to the ground. They screamed, and then they saw the hands of the two people hanging at a strange angle, obviously broken.

The Hua sisters are so upset. At the banquet, first the young lady from the Duke Dingguo's mansion was nearly beaten, and then the young lady from the first-rank general's family was injured. It was also their fault. They were busy organizing the banquet as soon as they came back from their outside family and did not do enough homework. They did not have time to learn about what happened in the capital during this period and posted on the wrong post.

These two groups of people are not suitable to appear in the same place in the near future.

"Qiao Lili, you are so brave that you dare to hurt our Tang family." Tang Miaofu shouted at Qiao Lili while holding her broken arm.

Qiao Lili put down the teacup in her hand, raised her eyes and said word by word: "The one who teases first is the cheap one."

There is nothing wrong with what he said. They were the ones who whipped first, which led to their arms being broken. However, after the arms are reconnected, it is not known whether they will still be able to swing the whip to hit people.

It has to be said that nearly half of the noble ladies were shouting happily in their hearts, saying that it was a good decision, and it would be even better if they could not hold the whip again in the future. God is watching what people do, and those who do evil will eventually perish.

"You are not injured, so you wouldn't break someone's arm. Are you relying on your power as the Sixth Prince to bully others?" The voice was loud and trembling slightly. All the noble ladies looked at the man who spoke up for the Tang sisters.

Because I was typing with a fractured finger, my finger became badly swollen, and my family hid the notebook. It was not easy for me to just steal it back.
