After swallowing my anger and taking the blame, I became the lucky little queen

She originally came to comfort Li Yaoyuan, but now it was Li Yaoyuan who comforted her.

Having made up her mind, she told Li Yaoyuan to have a good rest, left the Li Mansion with a rage, and headed straight for the West Courtyard of the Nian Mansion.

At that time, Nian Qiaoyue was embroidering.

The door was kicked open from the outside with a bang. She was startled and her shaking hands caused the needle to pierce her finger. The pain made her react quickly. She stood up with the help of the table and looked at the person who came in, with an uneasy and frightened expression.

"Sister...you..." She saw that Nian Susu was coming so aggressively, and she felt something was wrong. She couldn't help but take a few steps back, "What's the matter? Let's sit down and talk it over?"

Nian Susu glared at her, with anger building up in his chest, and when he saw Nian Qiaoyue, he couldn't help but explode.

She rushed to Nian Qiaoyue in a few steps, grabbed her wrist and squeezed it so tightly that Nian Qiaoyue frowned and tried to break free.

"Sister, can you please let me go first?" Nian Qiaoyue begged.

Nian Susu's eyes were so ferocious, like a man-eating beast, and she was the prey to be hunted. Because she had done something wrong, she felt even more guilty and afraid. She didn't even ask Nian Susu why she was like that, but just asked her to let her go first.

Of course Nian Susu would not do as she wished. Not only did he not let go, he raised his hand and slapped Nian Qiao in the face.

Nian Qiaoyue's head was tilted due to the beating. The crisp and loud sound of the slap and the burning pain on her face made her dazed for a moment. After she came to her senses, she turned her head sharply and glared at Nian Susu with grievance and anger.

If she could still speak to Nian Susu in a nice and friendly manner just now, she can't do that now.

She struggled to pull her hand back, shouting angrily, "Let me go! Nian Susu, are you crazy?"

She twisted a few times but couldn't break free. One part of her wrist was already red from being pulled, and it seemed as if Nian Susu was going to break her arm bones.

She stopped, helpless and furious: "Let go!"

Nian Susu snorted coldly and shook off Nian Qiaoyue's hand. She fell towards the table, knocking over the celadon teacup, and the tea spilled out, staining Nian Qiaoyue's sleeves and skirt with a dark color. There was another clear sound, and the teacup shattered to the ground.

Nian Qiaoyue frowned and held on to the table to steady herself.

After the slap, Nian Susu's anger had subsided a lot. At least he was not as hateful as when he first came in, and wanted to cut Nian Qiaoyue into pieces.

Her eyes fell indifferently on the embarrassed Nian Qiaoyue, and she said in a stern tone: "Nian Qiaoyue, you are really vicious. You have made a great contribution to Miss Li's current situation, right?"

A look of guilt flashed across Nian Qiaoyue's face for a moment, and then turned into a sneer.

She took a few steps back, leaned against the stool and sat down, staring at Nian Susu with a playful look, "Since you know everything, I won't hide it from you. Yes, I was the one who guided the direction of public opinion, so what?"

I didn't expect her to admit it so frankly, without even a trace of remorse, as if what she did was not surprising. Nian Susu clenched his fists, "As a woman, you know what reputation means. There are already rumors in the capital about something like this happening in Ganlin Temple, and you deliberately let people spread some unbearable nonsense to harm Miss Li. What do you want to do?"

Nian Qiaoyue lowered her eyes, took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped the water stains on her sleeves, without responding.

Nian Susu took two steps forward and approached her, until they were only one step apart.

"Just because she didn't agree to conspire with you to murder Wang Yuejiao!" She almost squeezed out these words from between her teeth.

Li Yaoyuan is so innocent!

Nian Qiaoyue sighed lightly, put away the handkerchief, and smiled sarcastically: "That's not the reason."

Her nonchalant appearance successfully angered Nian Susu, and the anger that she had just suppressed now surged up again.

Nian Susu leaned over and grabbed her neck, increasing the strength of his hands, forcing her to look up at him, "Why is that?"

Nian Qiaoyue had difficulty breathing, but there was no fear in her eyes. She knew that Nian Susu would not kill her, and she felt very happy seeing Nian Susu angry, annoyed, and out of control!

She widened her eyes and stared at Nian Susu. The corners of her mouth curled up sharply, revealing a strange smile, "It's because of you... because of you, Nian Susu..."

"Ahem...Because I hate you! I will make everyone who is close to you die a miserable death! And ruin their reputation!"

"Now it's Li Yaoyuan, the next one is... cough cough cough..."

Nian Susu suddenly exerted force and cut her off from speaking.

Nian Qiaoyue's face was hideous and in pain, but she was smiling. The scene was very strange.

Her words were like a magic sound, echoing in Nian Susu's mind several times.

After a while, Nian Susu let go of his hand, and Nian Qiaoyue was able to catch her breath. Her face flushed and she covered her neck and gasped for breath.

“Hahaha… Nian Susu, you are very angry, right?” Nian Qiaoyue leaned over the table and looked at her smugly, “So what? Li Yaoyuan is already beyond redemption. Her life is ruined hahaha… It’s all because of you… hahaha…”

She kept repeating the last two sentences, laughing, like a madman.

Nian Susu was too lazy to argue with her and slammed the door and left.

She would not blame herself for what Nian Qiaoyue said, nor would she be unable to face Li Yaoyuan because of it. Nian Qiaoyue was wrong, and she was the one who deserved to die.

After walking out of the west wing, she felt angry again, turned around and used the system prop - "Splitting Headache Pill" on Nian Qiaoyue through the window.

The next second, Nian Qiaoyue's heart-wrenching cry came from the room: "Ah! My head hurts! Help!"

Nian Susu felt better, but his hatred for Nian Qiaoyue could not be completely dispelled.

Nian Qiaoyue has harmed Li Yaoyuan to this extent, she must avenge Li Yaoyuan!

In the past, she always adhered to the mentality of "I will not offend others unless they offend me", so every time she took out her anger on Nian Qiaoyue, she only used props to play pranks on her and never harmed her life. Now it seems that she was too kind-hearted, causing Nian Qiaoyue to think that she was an easy target.

As for Li Yaoyuan...

I didn't kill Bo Ren, but Bo Ren died because of me... She felt guilty.

……

In mid-February, good news came from Jiangnan. Xiao Jianting led 10,000 elite troops to encircle and suppress bandits, and the campaign had entered the final stage. The bandit problem was temporarily solved, but many ministers in the court were implicated.

Xiao Jianting's investigation revealed that many local officials in Jiangnan were in collusion with the bandits in Jiuhua Mountain.

Although the area below Mount Jiuhua is not under the jurisdiction of the government, if you want to transport goods through there, you need official clearance documents, otherwise you will not be able to pass both the entrance and exit checkpoints.

Therefore, no matter how big or small a batch of goods is, as long as it passes through Mount Jiuhua, the government will be informed.

The officials and the bandits reached an agreement that the former would provide the time of cargo transportation, specific conditions of the cargo, and the identity information of the owner and the shipper, while the latter would split the profits with the former in a 40:60 ratio after robbing the cargo.

Officials can get money without sacrificing any soldiers, and the bandits can know when large cargoes are passing by and make a fortune that is enough to support the entire village in a year. Both sides get plenty of benefits, so why not do it?

It just hurts innocent people.
