Chapter 338: That Young Lady
With that, the investigation would be easy.
As long as they investigated the people around Xie Qiao, they could almost confirm who the person surnamed Xia was.
Moreover, Zhao Xuanjing also knew about the bet between Xie Qiao and the girl from the Xia family.
If nothing went wrong, it would be her.
However, how could one base on guesses to catch the thief?
Zhao Xuanjing asked his men to draw the characteristics of the Xia family’s maidservant and the errand boy that this person mentioned.
This time, it was even more confirmed.
“After you guys head back, change the script… Say that it was the Xia family’s young lady who had an accident. Since you’ve already done this thing out of nothing, you have to do it better. If you can’t even do this small thing well, I’ll cut off your tongue and feed it to the dogs,” Zhao Xuanjing’s cold voice drifted over.
These people did not dare to refute him.
There were so many of them, yet they were caught just like that. It was obvious that they could not escape from the other party at all!
Money was important, but their tongue was more important.
They agreed repeatedly.
It was already late. Even if they wanted to do as the noble said, no one outside was willing to listen to their nonsense. They could only endure and wait until dawn the next day.
As soon as dawn broke, they went out immediately.
“Do you still remember the young lady I told you about yesterday who was insulted by the hooligans outside the city?! Yes, yes, yes, it was that Young Lady Xia? Xie?! Not Xie, it was Xia! Young Lady Xia, it was said that she was the same Young Lady Xia who was doing good deeds outside the city as Young Lady Xie!”
“Let me tell you, Old Wang outside the city saw it with his own eyes! That Young Lady Xia, yes, she’s the daughter of a government official! She went out in a carriage and was insulted by someone. My, my. Her clothes were ripped off. Old Wang even saw the girl’s exposed shoulders from afar!”
“I heard that Young Lady Xia went out of the city to look for some young man, but in the end, she was ruined. It’s really something!”
“Don’t you believe it? It was those hooligans that the Crown Prince caught yesterday. They initially wanted to bully the disaster victims, but who knew that the daughter of a government official delivered herself to their doorstep. Now, they have their eyes on her!”
“I heard that Young Lady Xia’s b-buttocks… had a flower drawn on it!”
” …”
Who cares if she had a flower drawn on her buttock or not. Anyway, no one would look for Young Lady Xia and take off her clothes to check.
People were just having fun with the gossip.
How would the commoners know Young Lady Xia?
However, they thought this heiress was pitiful, to actually fall into the hands of the thieves.
These talkative people had their target audience. They would chat everywhere they go. When they saw the maids and old women, they would mutter a few things.
It was simply exhausting all their strength.
“Miss, when I went out today, I heard that Young Lady Xia had been ruined by someone!” Chun Er went out early in the morning to buy some vegetables. When she came back, she said to Xie Qiao.
After the examination, the academy was much more relaxed. Xie Qiao was prepared to take a leave today to inscribe more talismans at home.
Hearing Chun Er’s words, she could not help but put down her brush.
“Young Lady Xia? Xia Yayun?” Xie Qiao frowned.
So miserable?
“Isn’t it her? They said that she deserved it. She went out to look for teenagers every day. It seemed like she was doing a good deed, but she was always looking for those good-looking ones. There must be something fishy going on here? Even if she doesn’t have anything to do with those young people, she’s doing a good deed. Why did she differentiate the gender? Why did she care about their age?” Chun Er snorted, “Ah, how dare she bet with you. I initially admired her, but looking at what she’s been doing these days, even if she doesn’t know how to be a good person, why is there a need to put on a show?”
