256 Why Don’t I Do You a Favor?
Scholar Xu was taken aback and slowly turned his head to look at what had happened.
Zhao Chuchu plastered on a smile. “I see you are well dressed. You are a scholar yourself, a man of letters. But how can you be so nasty as to do such things? You said you would be good to Hui, but you were making her do something she didn’t want to do. Is that what you were taught as a scholar? I have never heard of such outrageous things. ”
After Zhao Chuchu took so long to say this, Scholar Xu finally returned to his senses. He laughed coldly and said, “Huihui, you can’t just befriend anyone in the street and bring them home. That’ll give us trouble in the future. We are a big family. There are countless pairs of eyes watching our money.”
“Shut up, will you? This is my friend. Who are you to tell me what to do here? I call you a cousin because I respect you. What do you think you are in the Yuan clan?” Yuan Hui flew into a rage. “Based on what you did just now, I have every reason to kick you out of the Yuan clan!”
“Huihui, what do you mean? I am only doing this for your own good!” Scholar Xu said sharply, “You are still young, so you can’t tell right from wrong. It’s reasonable you will make mistakes at times. I suppose you know how many people are out there coveting our wealth.”
“Aren’t you one of them?” Zhao Chuchu laughed sarcastically. “That was quite a show. God knows what you’d do to make a scene here if I was not here.”
“For your own good, so I’ll ruin your reputation and force you to marry me? Well, that’s impressive.”
While saying this, Zhao Chuchu clapped her hands.
Then she leaped out of the window, walked over to Yuan Hui, and faced Scholar Xu head-on.
Her imposing presence made her look much taller despite being a head shorter than him.
Scholar Xu didn’t like this feeling and subconsciously took a half step back.
He looked at Yuan Hui. “Huihui, you’d better get rid of the association as soon as possible just in case you should regret it in the future.”
“Regret? What do you mean? I’m only seeing a horny man wanting to sleep with the noble lady of the Yuan clan. That would be something she’d regret in the days to come.”
“You, you’re talking nonsense!” Scholar Xu’s face was red to the neck from shame. “As your cousin, I feel it only right for me to teach this bi*ch…”
Before Scholar Xu could finish his words, he was kicked by Zhao Chuchu and flew out, hitting the wall and falling again.
The pain seemed to have muted Scholar Xu.
Zhao Chuchu pushed Yuan Hui inside the house and whispered, “He’s a shameless bast*rd. I’ll teach him a lesson. Just go inside first.”
Yuan Hui looked at Scholar Xu on the floor, who grimaced, remembered the disgusting behavior of Scholar Xu just now, and went in without hesitation.
Zhao Chuchu stepped forward and looked down at Scholar Xu from above. “You want to make a move on me? You wuss. You are no match for me even if I don’t use my hands.”
After a pause, her gaze fell on Scholar Xu’s private parts. “It’s just a worthless thing. You really think it’s gold, huh? Only those hookers would put up with you for the sake of money. What makes you think you can come and harass Yuan Hui?”
Scholar Xu was terrified and curled up backward in pain.
“Don’t come over…”
Zhao Chuchu smiled an evil grin. “Anyway, it can’t be cured, so why don’t I just do you a favor?”
“What do you want?”
Zhao Chuchu looked at him without saying anything and raised her foot to aim at Scholar Xu’s crotch.
Before it even landed, she smelled a strange smell. Scholar Xu’s eyes rolled up, and he passed out directly.
Zhao Chuchu was speechless.
It didn’t occur to her that he was so weak. Now her plan had to be called off. She had to let Yuan Hui come out.
“This man does not have a good heart. His staying in the Yuan clan will only bring you trouble. He must have gotten access to the inside by cheating. Huihui, it’s time you cleared up things around you,” Zhao Chuchu said seriously.
Yuan Hui looked serious. “I didn’t see that coming too. After my grandma fell ill, they all took me for granted. Chuchu, you must help me with this. Help me find out the man that let him in.”
“This is easy. I’ll show you how to do it later. Scholar Xu’s patron will definitely bring people over to arrest you when the time comes. By then, there’s no denying what you have done.”
“That’s indeed outrageous!”
“I know, right?”
“It must be my stepmother. The men my grandmother found for me were all rejected by her. She just wanted me to marry such a useless man so that no one would compete with her son.”
Yuan Hui was indignant.
“It’s easy to find out the truth. Just pass this message to that woman.”
“Wouldn’t that be what she wants?”
“How do you know if you don’t try?”
Yuan Hui fell silent.
Just as a maid returned, she asked the maid to bring Madam Huo the news that Scholar Xu had broken into the backyard.
The maid was so frightened that she was about to kneel and admit her mistake, but she was so frightened by Yuan Hui’s cold eyes that she didn’t dare to move.
“What? Do I have to go there personally, even for this kind of thing? I can’t even make you guys do anything?” Yuan Hui was already angry, and when she saw that the maid was disobedient, she became furious.
“Absolutely no, I’ll go now.”
The maid shivered and hurriedly turned around and left.
“Remember, don’t let a second person know except mother, or I’ll sell you.”
“Yes, Miss.”
The maid immediately ran to Madam Huo’s courtyard.
She entered the door and knelt, asking Madam Huo to dismiss the others in the house.
Madam Huo was puzzled, but when she saw the maid’s pale face, she waved her hand and told them to leave.
“What happened?”
“Madam, Mr. Xu broke into Miss Yuan’s courtyard and wanted to…”
“What did you just say?”
Madam Huo was furious and got up abruptly.
The maid fell to the ground and put her forehead against it. “It is my fault. Please forgive me.”
Madam Huo lifted her feet and hurriedly walked out, taking her right-hand man with her, and hurriedly went to Yuan Hui’s courtyard.
Madam Huo did not say anything during this journey, but her aura made people retreat.
She soon arrived at Yuan Hui’s courtyard.
When Yuan Hui saw this, she did not expect Madam Huo to come so quickly, and only her trusted maid and a female housekeeper were with her.
“Huihui, what’s going on?” Madam Huo asked as soon as she entered, her eyes falling on Scholar Xu, who had fainted on the ground.
“Mother doesn’t know? I thought Chuntao had told mother about this?” Yuan Hui sneered.
Madam Huo frowned at her words, knowing that Yuan Hui had thought she was behind this.
But Madam Huo did not explain.
“The doorkeeper should truly be blamed. How can he let a man enter the inner courtyard? If the word gets out. I’m sure your reputation will be ruined.” Madam Huo said, “Someone, go and find out who is on duty today!”
“Yes.” The maid retreated.
Yuan Hui said, “Mother came in such a high profile. I am afraid that people have already been informed, which gives them enough time to make a plan. Even if we catch the man who did it, it won’t be the man who’s really guilty.”
