Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio     Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Since Chang Hong and Jixiang had gone to Ruyu Center, Chai Le was the only one there.

“Sis!” Xie Jun noticed her and greeted her.

“Oh!”

“I’m studying!’

Xie Jun then turned his attention back to his book.

The boy was playful when it was time for him to play, but he was also very self-conscious and worked very hard when it came to his studies. As a result, Zhao Chuchu and Xie Heng never had to worry about him.

Xie Jun was extremely smart as well. He could always master everything he learned right away.

Even the principal of his academy kept praising him for that and had faith that the little boy would succeed when he grew up.

When Zhao Chuchu heard that, all she could think of was that the boy would definitely succeed since he would become the one who would lead the entire

Wei Dynasty.

Xie Heng also spent a lot of time and effort raising Xie Jun.

Everything the little boy had learned had to do with ruling a country.

After having her breakfast, Zhao Chuchu planned to head to Ruyu Center. But, before she could even leave, Sikou Ming suddenly came.

“Mrs. Xie.” Sikou Ming’s attitude was much more composed than the day before. “I’m here to apologize. I shouldn’t have believed what that man said. Please forgive me for my rudeness.”

Zhao Chuchu frowned a little.

Chai Le stepped up, ready to chase Sikou Ming out, but Zhao Chuchu stopped him.

“Sir, my husband isn’t home now. If you need anything, please come back when he’s home. We don’t want to start any rumors, do we?” Zhao Chuchu

said. “I’ll need my husband to be present to treat some illness.”

Sikou Ming was speechless and quickly signaled something to his servant.

The servant quickly brought up a box. “Mrs. Xie, this is a gift from my master. There are more if you’re able to cure our master.”

The servant then opened the box and showed Zhao Chuchu the expensive accessories inside.

Zhao Chuchu sighed. She realized she was wrong about the situation.

He was the type of person who would never change, as it was already rooted in his personality.

She wondered if Sikou Ming thought that he would be able to impress her with those gems and accessories.

“What do you think you’re doing? I’ve already told you that my husband is not home. If you keep doing this, I’ll have to report you.”

“Mrs. Xie, I’m really here to get treated. Are you going to refuse a patient?”

“Is that so? Then, I’ll have to get my neighbors over as witnesses when I treat you. I don’t want this to bring me trouble.”

“What do you mean?

“Aren’t you supposed to know better than me where your illness is?” Zhao Chuchu sighed.

Sikou Ming’s mood was immediately ruined.

He was a man and would never allow his dignity to be stepped on like that, especially when he was the eldest son of a duke family.

“Mrs. Xie, I’m genuinely here to seek treatment. Do you really have to humiliate me like this?”

“If you think you’re humiliated, you should wait until my husband returns. He’s a scholar and is known to keep his word. He’ll never talk about your illness. But I can’t guarantee you that my neighbors will do the same. After all, there are many of them. I can stop one from talking, but I can never stop all of them from doing that.”

Sikou Ming glared at Zhao Chuchu as if he was trying to see what she wanted from her expression.

He found it weird because he was confident in his looks. So many girls would fall for him in the Imperial City, but Zhao Chuchu was not impressed. She was still not impressed, even after he had given her such expensive gifts.

Even if those weren’t enough to impress her, he was sure that his background would.

“Do you know who I am?” Sikou Ming had never failed to get a woman he wanted, and Zhao Chuchu was the first. Even though he had been intimidated by Zhao Chuchu the day before, his urge to make her his had increased when he woke up the next day.

“I don’t care who you are. It doesn’t make any difference. You’re nothing more than a patient to me.” Zhao Chuchu’s expression remained calm. “I’m not interested in all of these. Sickness and pain are never fair to people. I treat every patient equally regardless of their background and financial situation.” Zhao Chuchu’s attitude had only angered Sikou Ming even more.

But he was still not going to compare whether his brain or a stone was harder.

“Are you sure you are not going to regret this?” “Why would I regret this?”

“Because you lost a chance to become successful.”

“Is that so? I prefer to work my way up instead of relying on connections.

Then, at least if I fall, I won’t fall from a cliff.”

“You!”

Zhao Chuchu then pointed toward the exit. “Please come back when my husband is here. A rumor will only ruin your reputation. Your loss will be bigger.’

Zhao Chuc.hu then closed the gate behind Sikou Ming.

If he had not jumped back, the door would’ve hit him in the face.

He glared at the gate furiously and wanted to order his servants to kick the gate down.

However, it was just a thought. He didn’t have the guts to do so.

He was sure that the village girl would be unable to control her strength and crack his head open.

“Sir, should we kick the door down?” one of the servants asked. They understood what Sikou Ming’s goal was.

Sikou Ming immediately slapped that servant. “Are you trying to kill me? Do you know how vicious that girl is?”

The servant didn’t dare to make a sound.

“Let’s go!”

He still refused to believe that he would be unable to make Zhao Chuchu his.

If he couldn’t do it in a day, he would do it every day. He could use his illness as an excuse for that.

He would even prefer for a rumor to begin.

Since Xie Heng was a scholar, his reputation was important. So when a rumor spread, he would divorce Zhao Chuchu, and Sikou Ming would comfort Zhao Chuchu and make her his.

He would be able to do whatever he wanted with her by then.

The thought of that made him happy.

It was just a matter of time, and he had that.

Seeing how fast Sikou Ming’s expression changed, the servants looked at each other, wondering why their master’s mood suddenly changed.

Yet, not a single one of them dared to ask Sikou Ming.

After closing the door, Zhao Chuchu asked Xie Jun to return to the study room. “You should stop reading in the garden for the next few days. We wouldn’t want you to get interrupted by other people.”

“Sis, that man is planning something. You have to ignore him and wait for bro to come back!” Xie Jun said, worried about Zhao Chuchu.

Zhao Chuchu smiled. “Don’t worry. I know what I’m doing. No matter what his plan is, I can handle it. Just focus on your study.”

“Really?”

“Yes. I promise.”

Xie Jun was convinced and returned to the study room.

Chai Le waited for Xie Jun to leave and asked Zhao Chuchu, “Mrs. Xie, do you want me to…”

Chai Le did not finish the sentence. Instead, he drew a line across his throat with his thumb..
