Chapter 306: Just Once

Xia Songquan listened and forgot about it, not taking Lu Ming’s words to heart.

 

“Well, keep an eye on the five thousand taels of silver in case someone has the guts to take that,” Xia Songquan said to Lu Ming. And this “someone” referred to Xia Chengzhu.

Lu Ming took the order and turned around to leave.

He went to the accountant, who was in a standoff with the person who came to ask for money because of the sudden expenditure of such a large amount of money.

That was because the accountant would not easily give out so much money without Xia Songquan’s token.

 

Otherwise, if they asked him to take responsibility because of the lack of evidence, he could never pay it back, even if he didn’t eat or drink for the rest of his life.

“This five thousand taels of silver is Old Mr. Xia’s decision. Give it to him. It’s for Mr. Chengxue’s consultation fee,” Lu Ming walked over and explained to the accountant.

The most authoritative person in the Xia clan was Xia Songquan, but the most credible one was Lu Ming.

Lu Ming had been a butler in the Xia clan for so many years that he had more right of speech than several of Xia Songquan’s sons.

 

The accountant took out five thousand taels of silver only when he saw Lu Ming come.

“I will go over with you,” Lu Ming said and walked towards Xia Chengxue’s courtyard.

Xia Chengzhu didn’t expect Xia Songquan to be so generous and take out five thousand taels of silver directly.

As Xia Songquan’s son, he could only get five hundred taels at most, but his father was so generous to a woman.

Xia Chengzhu did not feel good in his heart.

But what could he do? He was not the head of the Xia clan now.

 

“Miss Lin, Old Mr. Xia said he’ll pay you more if you can cure Mr. Chengxue. The five thousand taels of silver are just the initial consultation fee. You’ll get more later.” Lu Ming gestured for the subordinates to bring up the silver.

Zhao Chuchu pretended to look like she had never seen such much money, her eyes shining. “So much silver? Old Mr. Xia is too generous.”

Lu Ming saw this and smiled faintly. “Old Mr. Xia has always been generous. Money is just extraneous things to him.”

“Alas, you are so wealthy!” Zhao Chuchu exclaimed. Then she did not even bother to pretend to refuse and took it with a smile.

This was what she deserved.

Lu Ming asked, “The silver is too much. Should I have someone send it back for you, Miss Lin?”

After counting the amount of silver, Zhao Chuchu turned back and asked, “Butler, I don’t want the silver. Can I exchange it for something else?”

“What do you want to exchange?”

 

“It’s too obvious for a girl to bring so much silver. Why don’t you exchange it for bank notes for me? It’s safer.”

Lu Ming did not change his expression and nodded. “Someone, carry these silver back. Exchange them into bank notes and send them here.”

“Thanks a lot.”

“As long as you are satisfied, Miss Lin. May I ask how’s Mr. Chengxue doing?”

“I can save his life, but whether he can still recover as a normal person depends on his luck. This is beyond the reach of human power. Butler, I have said from the beginning that I would try my best, but now there is nothing I can do.”

“The doctor said Mr. Chengxue won’t live long, so you have already saved him if you can keep him alive. As for what will happen after that, it’s up to him to make his fate.’

“I’m relieved that you are so reasonable. Please go back and tell Old Mr. Xia that

Mr. Chengxue’s life is not in danger.”

“Okay. Thank you, Miss Lin.”

“I’ll take my leave and come back tomorrow to do acupuncture for Mr.

Chengxue.”

“Okay.”

After Zhao Chuchu got the bank notes, she left the Xia clan with her medicine box.

 

Xia Chengzhu chased after her. “Miss Lin, my hidden illness…”

“Take the medicine as I say, and make sure to control yourself.” Zhao Chuchu raised her eyebrows. “Mr. Chengzhu, don’t think I can’t see anything just because I’m a girl. You didn’t have much abstinence last night, right?” Xia Chengzhu blushed in shame at being seen through. “Just once…”

“Not even half a time. Your recovery time will be a little longer if you indulge once. In the long run, your condition will worsen, and you will have no peace in the future.’

“Okay, I remember. Next time, I’ll try not to…”

“It’s quite good to clear your mind of desire, Mr. Chengzhu.”

Xia Chengzhu did not know why he had no desire for that kind of thing whenever Zhao Chuchu said this, and he did not dare to say anything as if he was a student being lectured by a teacher.

“I’ll leave first. Don’t bother to see me out.” Zhao Chuchu carried the medicine box and quickly left.

Xia Chengzhu lost the urge to go after Zhao Chuchu when he thought of her lecture just now.

He was most afraid of Zhao Chuchu saying that he was impotent!

A man could not be impotent.

Zhao Chuchu left the Xia clan’s house and threw the five thousand taels of silver into the carry-on space.

Zhao Chuchu’s murderous intentions were rising at the thought of those bad ones in the Xia clan.

Zhao Chuchu did not go back to the Yuan clan’s house but went to Xie Heng.

But once again, she was in vain. Xie Heng was not there.

But Xie Heng had someone tell Zhao Chuchu that he would be back in three days and that Zhao Chuchu didn’t have to worry because he was just going to take care of something.

Xie Heng did not say what the matter was, but without any reason, Zhao Chuchu felt that it was related to Yuan Hui.

Xie Heng did not care about other people’s affairs, but as long as Zhao Chuchu was involved, he would do his best to help her.

Sometimes Zhao Chuchu felt that she was a lucky star.

Otherwise, why did those close to her have Xie Heng’s secret help whenever they got into trouble? Didn’t they just take advantage of her good luck? Xie Heng was not in Guangqing Province, so Zhao Chuchu could only go back to the Yuan clan’s house.

When Zhao Chuchu went to the Xia clan, people from the Ye clan came to the Yuan clan’s door again, still trying to get Yuan Hui to marry Second Mr. Ye.

Old Mrs. Yuan was so angry that she was confined to bed sick.

In the end, it was Yuan Hui herself who appeared and chased the Ye clan’s people out.

Zhao Chuchu did not expect the Ye clan’s people to do such a thing.

How could there be a family that was so shameless to such an extent?

Did they really think that Second Mr. Ye was the unique treasure in the world so that an average family would be willing to marry their daughter to him after he had done so many absurd things?

“You came back just in time. The Ye clan is really too shameless. Second Mr. Ye and Third Mr. Hong did that kind of thing in public, but they were still so shameless that they let me not mind because they just drank too much and made jokes. And they even said that it’s my good fortune to marry into the Ye clan!”

Then Yuan Hui continued, “Who wants this fucking fortune? Since this is good fortune, why don’t they let their daughter marry him? Who are they to say that in front of me? Am I really so bad that I have to marry such a bastard? Damn

When Yuan Hui saw Zhao Chuchu, she didn’t even care about her image and said something foul.

Zhao Chuchu patted her and said, “Well, well, you are the daughter of the Yuan clan. I wonder how others will accuse you when they know you are like this. The Ye clan just wants to keep pestering you this time, so you can’t give them a chance to accuse you.”

“I’d rather kill myself than marry a bastard like Second Mr. Ye.”

“Don’t be angry. Someone will always come to teach the Ye clan a lesson.”

“I used to think that our Yuan clan was very powerful for being rich, but now I know that being an official is the most impressive.. With power, one can trample on everything in the world, even the people!”
