Chapter 304: Could She Be Zhao Chuchu?
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Zhao Chuchu left them speechless.
“Let’s go. Isn’t there someone else who wants to see a doctor?” Zhao Chuchu asked Xia Chengzhu while packing her medicine box.
Xia Chengzhu was also eager to leave the main courtyard, so he hurriedly said,
“Yes, I will take you there, Miss Lin.”
Zhao Chuchu packed up her things and left with Xia Chengzhu without even looking at Xia Songquan.
“Lu Ming, do you think this Miss Lin is very much like a person we met before?”
Xia Songquan asked the butler. “I always feel like I’ve seen her somewhere, but
I can’t remember no matter what.”
“Old Mr. Xia, could she be Zhao Chuchu?” An idea suddenly came to Lu Ming’s mind.
Xia Songquan thought back very carefully to Xia Chenglan’s appearance. Oh no, he should call her Xia Xiaoxiao.
Strangely enough, Miss Lin and Xia Xiaoxiao did not look alike. Zhao Chuchu was Xia Xiaoxiao’s daughter, so she should have some resemblance to Xia Xiaoxiao.
“She should not be Zhao Chuchu. How can a woman so good at riding and arrow-shooting be a country girl? Zhao Chuchu also doesn’t have the condition to learn riding and arrow-shooting. Didn’t Xie Heng, her husband, teach her medical skills?”
“But she is the same age as Zhao Chuchu.”
“Don’t forget that Xie Heng was blind before, and these two had never left Yuanjiang County before the plague appeared, so how did they learn such skills? Even if they were lucky enough to meet an experienced expert, didn’t they also suffer from bullying at the beginning?”
“Old Mr. Xia, you mean…”
“Miss Lin is Miss Lin, and Zhao Chuchu is Zhao Chuchu. Stunning beauties all have one thing in common, and that is beauty.”
Xia Songquan found himself an excuse first.
Lu Ming thought about it and felt that it made sense. Miss Lin and Xia Xiaoxiao looked really different.
“You find someone to check the details of Miss Lin. No matter who she is, find a way to marry her into the Xia clan. Now the Xia clan is going downhill, but many people will beg us if we can have such a woman.”
“The Kang clan has been making some moves lately. I’m afraid they can’t hold back much longer, so you should prepare yourself early, Old Mr. Xia. Ms.
Chengxuan cannot decide anything in the Kang clan and lives a hard life.”
“Daughters are useless. They can do nothing to help the family and even add to the family’s problems. If I had known that earlier, I would have married her far away so I wouldn’t have to look at her as an eyesore.”
“Old Mr. Xia, don’t say such angry words. It’s also hard for Ms. Chengxuan to tell her suffering. No matter what, the Xia clan will come to an open break in friendship with the Kang clan sooner or later, so you don’t need to show any more mercy.”
Xia Songquan nodded. “Well, that’s true. All right, you can leave first. Keep an eye on Miss Lin and see if Chengxue can still be saved.”
“Yes, Old Mr. Xia.”
Lu Ming bowed and retreated.
A hint of deep meaning in Lu Ming’s eyes flickered away as soon as he closed the door.
The two did not know that their conversation had been heard by Zhao Chuchu, who had already left.
Zhao Chuchu sighed and said inwardly, “It’s obvious that the truth is already there, but they are so arrogant to push the truth away. Their expressions must be hilarious when they know Miss Lin is Zhao Chuchu!”
Zhao Chuchu was quite looking forward to that day.
Xia Chengxue’s courtyard was on the south side of the Xia clan’s house, and it took about half an hour to walk there.
Xia Chengzhu tried to talk to Zhao Chuchu along the way, attempting to probe Zhao Chuchu’s thoughts.
But Zhao Chuchu ignored him by saying a few words and even learned a lot from him, but Xia Chengzhu was oblivious to it.
He was even complacent and thought he had a better chance than Xia Songquan.
Zhao Chuchu could see through his complacency and didn’t even bother to expose him. She didn’t care about what he thought.
Zhao Chuchu realized that Xie Heng and Yuan Hui had said something euphemistic when she saw Xia Chengxue. Xia Chengxue was not simply beaten up but was almost disabled.
He was lying weakly in bed, and only his eyes could move, unlike a vegetable.
But the Xia clan’s deep-rooted bad habits caused Xia Chengxue to become visibly excited when he saw Zhao Chuchu, and his eyes rolled like twitching.
Zhao Chuchu was very speechless.
She thought, “Sooner or later, the men of the Xia clan will all die from women!” How disgusting!
“This is my fifth brother Xia Chengxue. Some time ago, he met with criminals and was beaten into this state. I wonder if Miss Lin has any way to save him. Even if he can’t recover as before, it’ll be better if he doesn’t have to lie in bed like this now.”
Xia Chengzhu deliberately raised his voice when he said, “can’t recover as before.” Any average person should know what he meant.
He wanted Zhao Chuchu to turn Xia Chengxue into a completely useless person.
Zhao Chuchu’s eyebrows were slightly raised.
She thought these people in the Xia clan were all calculating without a trace of affection or humanity.
Of course, she could cure Xia Chengxue’s injury. However, she would not do this.
This bastard was not worth her doing like this.
But she could let Xia Chengxue and Xia Chengzhu fight with each other.
Although Xia Songquan’s sons were all untalented, it didn’t stop them from being ambitious and wanting to be the heir to the Xia clan.
Xia Chengxue could not move now, but it was impossible not to suspect his brothers in his heart.
Zhao Chuchu was not interested in taking over the Xia clan, but she could make the Xia clan be ruined.
After all, she had to get justice for the original body owner’s mother.
Zhao Chuchu put on a serious face after taking Xia Chengxue’s pulse. “Mr. Chengxue’s injuries are too serious. He seems to be injured by a martial arts expert. My medical skills are limited, so I can only keep him alive. As for whether he can recover, it depends on his luck.”
“It’s okay, Miss Lin. Just do your best.” Xia Chengzhu thought he understood Zhao Chuchu’s meaning. “So many doctors have come to see him, and they all said that my fifth brother can only live for three months at most. Now with your words, I can be relieved.”
Zhao Chuchu met Xia Chengxue’s eyes and said indifferently, “The person who hit him picked the places to hit. That person didn’t kill him immediately but made him suffer a lot and feel worse than death. I don’t know why that person is so vicious to devise such a method to deal with people.”
Xia Chengxue looked at Xia Chengzhu as soon as he heard that.
Xia Chengzhu didn’t catch that Zhao Chuchu was misleading Xia Chengxue and said, “I’m afraid that only the murderer knows about the reason. Forgive me for troubling you, but just let my brother live.”
“Okay. But the consultation fee…”
“Don’t worry, Miss Lin. I will definitely pay you the consultation fee.”
“That’s good. I will do my best to save Mr. Chengxue.”
“Thanks a lot, Miss Lin.”
Zhao Chuchu nodded slightly. Then she put the medicine box down and took out the needle bag inside, as well as some other tools to be used.
“Take off the clothes on him,” Zhao Chuchu said to the maid at the side.
Xia Chengzhu asked, “What are you going to do, Miss Lin?” “I’ll do acupuncture first to unblock his meridians.”
“Will that work?”
“Then why don’t you treat him, Mr. Chengzhu?”
Zhao Chuchu handed over the silver needles she took out.
The corner of Xia Chengzhu’s mouth twitched. “I don’t know how to do this.
You should do it, Miss Lin.”
“Then keep quiet. Don’t disturb me!” Zhao Chuchu said in an indifferent voice..
