Chapter 356: What Else Does He Not Dare to Do?

“It seems that you really don’t understand human speech,” said Zhao Chuchu indifferently. “Whether I will fall or not has absolutely nothing to do with you.

Don’t waste your saliva here spouting nonsense.”

“Okay…alright…l hope that you will remember your words today. Don’t you regret them in the future!”

Lu Ming was also furious. He had never tried to invite someone so humbly.

Whatever happened to the Xia clan, they were still one of the top clans in Guangqing Province. As their butler, even government officials showed him some respect. Who was Zhao Chuchu?

She was just the daughter of that bitch that was recognized by the Xia clan. In his eyes, she was a nobody!

“Zhao Chuchu, this is your only chance. Once you miss this chance, it will not come again. Just you wait!” Once Lu Ming said that, he waved his sleeves and

Xia Chenglan was stunned. She glanced at Zhao Chuchu, and their gazes met. She immediately looked away.

Xia Chenglan dared not put on the airs of a senior in front of Zhao Chuchu.

She swallowed whatever she wanted to say, worried that she would embarrass herself even more.

In the end, she turned around and chased after Lu Ming.

The house of Old Man Zhao soon quieted down.

Madam Yang slumped to the ground. She heaved a sigh of relief as she patted her chest, saying, “Thank god.”

Zhao Chuchu glanced at Madam Yang before she left without looking back.

Madam Yang initially wanted to ask for some benefits from Zhao Chuchu. However, in the end, she said nothing.

Zhao Chuchu dared to offend the Xia clan, even though the latter was filthy rich. Madam Yang speculated that people like herself were even more unworthy in Zhao Chuchu’s eyes.

It was better for her to stay in line so that she wouldn’t get into any trouble.

Zhao Chuchu did not return to the Xie clan.

The Zhao clan head stopped her on her way back and pleaded, “Chuchu, I said those things because I lost my head for a moment and was deceived by the clan members. I initially thought that you would have a better life if you returned to the Xia clan. I meant you no harm…”

“We both know whether or not you are concerned for my welfare,” interrupted Zhao Chuchu coldly. “I’m neither blind nor a fool. I can see for myself what you have done. But if you consider yourself long-lived, continue standing there spouting nonsense. I can send you to meet the King of Hell earlier.”

The clan head turned pale with fright. He no longer had the air of a senior. In a low voice, he begged Zhao Chuchu, “We are from the same ancestor. Is it right for us to be arguing like this? I will apologize to you. Can you please forgive

Zhao Chuc.hu smiled. There happened to be some firewood next to her. She picked up a stick and threw it.

The stick pierced the boulder behind her, cleaving it in two.

The clan head saw this and stopped breathing. Terror overwhelmed him like a rising tide, drowning him.

“Do you still want to apologize?” asked Zhao Chuchu as she looked at the clan head. But, unfortunately, her smile did not look like a smile.

When the clan head, who was using a cane, heard this, he immediately ran for his life. He feared that Zhao Chuchu would cleave him in two with a stick. Zhao Chuchu heard him fleeing and said with a smile, “A load of trash.”

She then turned to leave.

Aside from the Zhao clan head, the other members of the Zhao clan also saw this scene play out.

They were terrified of Zhao Chuchu from the bottom of their hearts. So they did not dare to approach her for fear of offending her.

Zhao Chuchu finally had peace and quiet.

Lu Ming and the others left Lengshui Village as fast as they could.

Along the way, Xia Chenglan kept scolding Lu Ming.

“Useless thing, you cannot even handle a young brat. How do you manage the household? No wonder the Xia clan is in a mess now. This is all your fault! Uncle Ming, tell us if you are too old and cannot handle things. It is not like we don’t wish for you to enjoy your retirement!”

Lu Ming and Xia Chenglan were not in the same carriage. He ignored the latter.

However, it was as though Xia Chenglan was possessed. She kept scolding him nonstop.

Lu Ming was combing through matters related to Zhao Chuchu. Xia Chenglan paled in insignificance when compared to her.

Xia Chenglan eloped and put the Xia clan to shame. On the other hand, even though Zhao Chuchu had a mother with an unsightly background, her healing power was formidable.

Moreover, she healed the face of the daughter of the Du clan. Now, her fame had spread throughout Guangqing Province.

Soon, there would be more and more people seeking her medical help. If the Xia clan could convince her to return to the clan, she would be a great asset to them.

No one would dare mess with the Xia clan.

Aging, illness, and death were all unavoidable experiences for everyone. However, everyone would try their best to save their necks. Therefore, who would want to offend a divine physician?

The martial arts masters in the cultivation world had an unspoken rule: they could kill as many people as they wished, but they would never attack a physician. Those who violated the rule would be hunted down incessantly by others.

The same rule applied among the common folk.

If Zhao Chuchu sided with the Xia clan, even the Yuan clan would have to

protect them.

As the butler of the Xia clan, Lu Ming was naturally protective of the clan’s interests.

Xia Songquan did not even bat an eyelid when he abnegated his own children. Therefore, Lu Ming, an outsider, did not hold back when dealing with the clan members.

“Uncle Ming, are you deaf, or do you have a guilty conscience? Do you dare ignore me when I am speaking? I will ask my father to remove your butler authority when we return. After that, I will reduce you to a nameless servant of the Xia clan!”

Xia Chenglan did not receive a response, so her words became more and more outrageous.

Although she received funds from Xia Songquan secretly after eloping, her life was hard.

The person she had eloped with was a good-for-nothing who depended on her for finances. Their entire family lived by sucking her blood.

Xia Chenglan had never left the family because she couldn’t bear to part with the children. However, her temperament became increasingly irritable and extreme, and sometimes she would go crazy and out of control.

“You useless thing. I don’t know why my father keeps an old fart like you around! You can’t even complete such a simple task and were led by the nose by a little bitch. In the end, you were kicked out. If I were you, I would be too embarrassed to live…”

“Shut up!’

Lu Ming could not take it anymore, and he shouted angrily.

This just added fuel to the fire.

Xia Chenglan became even more upset. She began to curse, dragging even Lu Ming’s ancestors into her cursing.

Lu Ming took a deep breath.

“Someone, throw this village wife off the carriage,” Lu Ming commanded sternly. Xia Chenglan had stepped on his bottom line. He would no longer hold back against her.

All the servants here were his trusted aides. So if anything were to happen to Xia Chenglan, he would push the blame onto Zhao Chuchu.

Xia Songquan would believe whatever he said.

Xia Chenglan was yelling hysterically, so she did not hear what Lu Ming said.

When she saw the carriage suddenly come to a halt, she leaped off herself, intending to settle the score with Lu Ming.

Lu Ming just happened to open his curtains and look back. When he saw that, his gaze turned cold, and he emotionlessly said, “Speed up. We must get back to the city by nightfall.”

When the driver heard his command, he immediately whipped the horses and rode off swiftly.

Xia Chenglan stood where she was, unable to react for a moment. Instead, she watched as the Xia clan’s carriages rode away, leaving behind a trail of mud and dirt. They drew further and further away from her until they finally disappeared.

Only then did she manage to react. She pursued the carriages frantically, screaming, “Stop right there. Stop. I haven’t gotten on the carriage yet. Lu

Ming, you old fart, you dare to abandon me….”
