268 Staying with the Yuan Clan
“No, I just don’t want the Xia clan to have a chance to recognize you in advance,” Xie Heng explained.
Zhao Chuchu accepted Xie Heng’s reason.
“Okay. I’ll stay at the Yuan clan for a while during this period. Just remember to pass me the latest news, or I’ll be uncomfortable secluding for a long time.”
“Okay.”
The two quickly got rid of the stalkers.
Xie Heng sent Chuchu to the vicinity of Yuan’s house and let Zhao Chuchu go back alone first.
Chuchu hugged him. “Don’t make me wait too long.”
Xie Heng smiled and nodded his head.
She let go of Xie Heng and walked toward the Yuan clan.
After she went inside, the smile on Xie Heng’s face was immediately gone. It was replaced by a heart-stopping coldness as he left with big steps.
When Yuan Hui saw Zhao Chuchu return, she teased her. “It’s just a delivery of the letter. Why did it take so long? Did you miss your husband? If I had known, I would have invited Mr. Xie to come with me so that someone wouldn’t have to suffer from the pain of missing someone else.”
“Huihui, I’m waiting for you to fall in love. You laugh as much as you want now. I will get back with interest when you fall in love!” Zhao Chuchu looked at her with an evil grin.
Yuan Hui immediately had a serious expression. “I’m just joking. Forget it. By the way, I heard that Xia Chengxue had an accident in Yuanjiang County and got a good beating. Hahaha.”
“What happened?”
“He seems to be fighting for girls in the brothel with someone but was beaten up. If people did not come quickly, he would probably have died. I heard that Xia Chengxue’s right leg is likely to be ruined, and he is being sent back to the capital of Guangqing Province. They should be looking for you soon.”
“Why didn’t they kill him? It was too good for him.”
Zhao Chuchu was regretful.
The fact that Xie Heng brushed it off was actually so interesting.
“I know. Xia Chengxue only knows to sleep with women all day and night. He has harmed many good women. He should have died long ago,” Yuan Hui said indignantly. “The heaven is so unjust. How could he live so long?”
“If you think about it, living a long life with illnesses is also very good for him?”
“A hundred years of life and a hundred illnesses? Hahaha! If that’s true, I’ll have to pray to heaven to let him live a little longer. After all, death is a relief. Living with illnesses is the hardest to bear!”
“Then, let’s all wish them a long life!”
“You’re even worse than me. Hahaha…”
Yuan Hui didn’t know about Xie Heng’s arrival in Guangqing Province.
After Chuchu asked Yuan Hui, she arranged for someone to take Deng Dalin and his son to be housed in the Yuan clan so that Chuchu could conveniently change the dressing for Huan’er.
Huan’er’s face was recovering better every day, and at the moment, it had started to scab over.
The newly grown flesh was very itchy, but Huan’er restrained himself from picking at it to avoid leaving scars.
When the Yuan clan saw that Huan’er’s horrible burns could be cured so well, they were all convinced of Zhao Chuchu’s ability.
So, both the masters of the Yuan clan and the servants, as long as they were troubled by skin problems, all plucked up the courage to come to Chuchu, hoping she could help them heal their faces.
Some even wanted to ask her to make them more beautiful.
Chuchu was speechless about that.
She wasn’t a plastic surgeon. How could she change a person’s appearance? Did she have to operate with a knife and become a cosmetic surgeon?
Different people specialized in different fields. She was not enthusiastic to become a dabbler plastic surgeon.
“People are born with their appearance. Even if I am good at medicine, I can’t change it, so don’t give me a hard time. The most I can do is to make your skin condition better than it is now, such as red bumps and spots on your face and so on. That’s all I can do!”
Zhao Chuchu repeated the same phrase for them.
It was because Xie Heng came to Guangqing Province. Otherwise, she would not have had the patience. She would have already kicked them out after explaining once but not being listened to.
For this reason, Yuan Hui had to step in to restrain them, saying that they would be driven out of the house one by one and sold.
In this way, they stopped a bit.
However, there were always shameless people who kept making unreasonable demands with Zhao Chuchu because they were relatives of the Yuan clan.
“Since you are a doctor, you should always have a way to make us look better. Otherwise, how could you be worthy of living in the Yuan family? You are living here for nothing!” The one who said it was a distant cousin of the Yuan clan and she called Yuan Hui her cousin.
But Yuan Hui had no impression of her relative at all.
To speak bluntly, they were the ones who came to get money and treated themselves as wealthy masters.
It took all sorts to make a world.
Zhao Chuchu didn’t even give a damn about her.
“Hey, I’m talking to you! Are you deaf?” the cousin reprimanded Zhao Chuchu with dissatisfaction. “These are things you should do. Why are you so lazy?”
Chuchu lazily glanced at her and asked, “Am I your ancestor or your mother? Why should I spoil you?”
“You, you… do you know who you’re talking to?” The cousin was so angry that her face turned green. “I am the Yuan family’s cousin lady!”
“And I’m the honored guest invited by the lady of the house. What’s the difference between us?”
“You are just a doctor invited by my cousin. You are supposed to treat the Yuan family’s people. Since you are willing to treat even the servants, how dare you refuse me? Believe it or not, I’ll ask my aunt to expel you from the Yuan clan. What will you be without the shelter of the Yuan family?”
She pointed at Chuchu and cursed, just like a shrew.
The gentle and virtuous woman she pretended to be in front of people was gone.
Chuchu’s face was expressionless. “If you dare to curse me one more time, I will let you out of this courtyard crying. Do you believe it?”
Perhaps because of her appalling eyes or powerful aura, the cousin was instantly cowed.
“Wait and see. Aunt will speak for me.”
“No need. I can make the decision right now!”
Yuan Hui’s voice suddenly came, taking over the cousin’s words.
Seeing this, the cousin was overjoyed and hurriedly ran to her, saying condescendingly, “My dear cousin Huihui, you’ve finally returned. The doctor you hired was very rude. She pointed at my nose and scolded me. You must teach her a lesson for me today.”
After saying it, she looked at Zhao Chuchu with a smug face, thinking that Chuchu would surely be humiliated.
Yuan Hui pushed her away and walked up to Chuchu. “What happened?”
Before Zhao Chuchu could say anything, the cousin interrupted her again, “I just asked her to help me to make my face beautiful, and she started humiliating me sarcastically. Cousin, if such a person stays in the house, she will be a curse sooner or later. She should have been expelled long ago.”
Hearing this, Yuan Hui turned back at her. “And who are you?”
At these words, the expression on her face froze. “Cousin, I am…”
“Forget it. There are many people I don’t know at home, and I don’t care who you are. But she is an honored guest I invited. No one is allowed to be rude to her. Someone, tell her mother to send this girl back to her home. We don’t raise people who can’t distinguish the good from the bad here.”
