To him, there was nothing wrong with spending some money to get rid of someone like Xia Chenglan.

“Since Uncle Ming thinks so, I’ll give you the standard dowry. But Xia Chenglan, remember this. A woman who has married an outsider has no right to the Xia clan’s properties!”

“I just want what I deserve.”

Xia Chenglan was afraid that she would get nothing in the end, so she decided to take the deal while she still had one.

She would think of some other ways in the future when she ran out of money!

Xia Cheng suppressed his rage and handed the matter over to Lu Ming. But no matter what, he couldn’t agree to let Xia Chenglan move into the Xia clan.

Because of this, Xia Chengzhu gave Xia Chenglan a house that he bought previously for a girl from the brothel. He told her to stay there instead.

Xia Chenglan was fine with it.

She was fine with anything as long as she didn’t need to return to Zhang Qun’s old home.

After getting what she wanted, Xia Chenglan didn’t continue staying in the Xia clan. She wanted to avoid agitating Xia Chengzhu, which might cause her to lose the things that she had obtained.

She asked to convert all of her dowries into cash, then she brought them away.

Of course, Xia Chenglan wasn’t going to tell Zhang Qun about this. Otherwise, the money would definitely end up in the hands of that old hag, and it would probably be handed to Zhang Qun’s useless brothers.

After Xia Chenglan left, Xia Chengzhu called in one of his loyal subordinates and gave him some instructions.

How dare she threaten her?

Now, her only option was death!

The news of Xia Chenglan being chased out of the Xia clan quickly reached Zhao Chuchu.

Zhao Chuchu laughed.

Xia Chenglan was better at seeking death than she had imagined.

Her poison hadn’t even taken effect yet, but Xia Chenglan was going to die at the hands of Xia Chengzhu.

Every single one from the Xia clan was a cold-blooded animal. Their relationships were as fragile as plastic.

The Xia clan was about to fall!

“Da Lang, what did you do?”

“Nothing. ”

Xie Heng shook his head.

The people from the Zhang clan were seeking death on their own without him doing anything!

“I’ve prepared this herb based on your instruction. What else do you need me to do?” Xie Heng asked. Rather than spending time on those fools, he would rather spend time with Zhao Chuchu in the medicinal room.

“Nope. That’s all for today. I’m just using these to make skincare pills. All those girls have the same concern. I don’t need to see them one by one and give them individual treatment plans. I can just make the pills and pass them to those girls. ”

“Thank you for working so hard to provide for this family.”

“No, no, it’s okay. Thank you for working so hard to earn the royal court’s certificate of appreciation for me.”

“It’s my pleasure, and I don’t feel like it’s hard work at all. Since you don’t need my help here, I’ll go back to the study room first.”

“What date is it today? You’re going to the academy soon, right?”

“16 February. The academy starts teaching from the 22nd.”

“You are knowledgeable enough to be their teacher, yet you still need to go to the academy.”

“Junjun won’t be able to manage the whole country alone. He needs talented people to help him.”

There were a few people in the Qingyang Academy of Guangqing Province that were worth recruiting by Xie Jun.

At his age, it wasn’t strange for him to enter the academy to study and make friends with them.

In the next year, he could subtly change the course of their lives so they didn’t repeat the mistakes that they had made in their previous life.

“I know. I was just joking. Da Lang, we all have our own things to do now.

When the situation has stabilized, we’ll finally have our freedom.”

“It won’t be too far away.”

“You should go study now to prepare for that day. Although I’m not interested in wealth and luxury, I’ll still be very happy if you can earn a royal court certificate of appreciation for me.”

“Alright. Just wait for me.”

Xie Heng rubbed her head, then he stood up and left the medicinal room.

Xiie Heng was used to the smell of herbs. He felt slightly uneasy returning to the study room. But that was only temporary. Soon, he focused on the books.

Making the skincare pills was a very complicated process.

In order to maximize the effect of the pills, Zhao Chuchu spent three days making them.

Zhao Chuchu wanted to make real skincare products, but she realized she couldn’t possibly create a sterile environment that was necessary for making skincare products. Although she had a lot of resources in her carry-on space, all of them were survival-related. There were very few that had anything to do with skincare or makeup products!

Zhao Chuchu wasn’t going to sell these skincare pills like any other medicines. She would only give it to the daughters of big clans after diagnosing the problems with their skins.

Skincare and beauty products were huge markets in any era.

Skincare pills were targeted specifically at acne. It didn’t have other effects.

The women in big clans tended to spend their whole lives centered around their husbands. It was very normal for their looks to deteriorate with time.

Naturally, they would try their absolute best to preserve their looks and slow down their aging so their husband would look at them for a while more.

That was why many women had come to consult Zhao Chuchu and asked her if there were ways to lessen the wrinkles and spots on their faces and whether their skin could become a little whiter. Some women were even daring enough to ask about their private parts.

Zhao Chuchu didn’t know how to respond.

In this era, the fate of women didn’t depend on themselves. Their emotions and feelings were all dependent on the man to whom they were married!
