271 Not Surprising at All
What’s more, many people saw Xia Chengrong’s body at that time and knew how he died.
If the Xia clan really dealt with the money boy for this, the people in Guangqing Province would know the truth. They would know that Xia Chengrong liked guys and had sex with them.
Even if the rumor were true, the Xia clan would not admit it.
In addition, the Xia clan itself was fragmented. And Xia Chengrong’s brothers must be pleased that they did not have to compete with Xia Chengrong for the family property.
With Xie Heng’s secret carrying forward, the Xia clan quickly decided and clear out the lackeys who were with Xia Chengrong then. The money boy escaped, and the matter was over.
The next day, Zhao Chuchu heard that Xia Chengrong had died.
But when Yuan Hui told her vividly, Zhao Chuchu was still stunned.
“Die on a man? Oh, this is really…”
This was not surprising at all.
The reason why Zhao Chuchu was stunned was not that Xia Chengrong died on a man but that Xie Heng made his move so quickly.
She knew Xie Heng very well.
Xia Chengrong did such a bad thing, and it would only be strange that Xia Chengrong was still alive.
Xie Heng would not let Xia Chengrong live.
“Although I know Xia Chengrong is a passionate person, I always thought it was just a rumor that he liked both men and women. Well, now it turned out to be true. The Xia clan will be so ashamed.”
Yuan Hui did not hide her pleasure in Xia Chengrong’s misfortune at all.
“His punishment comes so soon, right?”
“Yeah.”
Zhao Chuchu then smiled.
“This kind of scum should die a long time ago. He has harmed so many girls. Fortunately, he is dead now, and there will be fewer evil people. Well, when can other scums in the Xia clan die?”
“They will be made to pay for their rabid evildoings soon.”
So many clans wanted to get rid of the Xia clan. At this moment, there was no capable head or successor in the Xia clan. How much longer could they stay in Guangqing Province?
In any case, Zhao Chuchu was not optimistic about the Xia clan. She thought the Xia clan would decline soon.
It was absolutely impossible for the Xia clan to take Zhao Chuchu as their cash cow.
The Xia clan could ask for nothing from her.
“I don’t know whether the poetry and literature gathering will still be held.” Yuan Hui looked at what Zhao Chuchu was preparing and couldn’t help sighing.
Zhao Chuchu said, “Don’t worry. It will be held as usual.”
Such a shameful thing happened to the Xia clan, which was what the other clans wanted to see.
The more the Xia clan was like this, the more the other clans wanted to embarrass the Xia clan.
Anyway, sooner or later, they would fight against each other. It was not harmful to force the Xia clan a little.
As long as the relationship was kept interesting, it would not last long.
The Xia clan was already in a mess now.
Xia Chengxue was severely injured, and Xia Chengrong died.
The Xia clan must be in a panic.
They did not know who would be the next unlucky one.
Therefore, they would have no time to bother Zhao Chuchu recently.
Zhao Chuchu was happy to see such a Xia clan.
“Let’s go. I have to go to deliver medicine to Old Mrs. Yuan. We should take care of our own business first.”
Zhao Chuchu covered the box she was packing and walked with Yuan Hui to Old Mrs. Yuan’s yard.
“Chuchu, what did you put in the box just now?”
“Makeups made by myself.”
It was just some cosmetics.
Zhao Chuchu used to wear makeup, and she was very good at it.
She couldn’t think of when she bought these cosmetics. She probably bought them when she was hoarding goods and materials. There were a lot of them piled up in the carry-on space.
Compared with the makeup of this era, hers were absolutely magical.
Zhao Chuchu did not take these cosmetics for sale. She wanted to see if there were any people worth making friends with.
Since Zhao Chuchu planned to stay with Xie Heng, she naturally would not be as happy-go-lucky as before.
Getting a good relationship by giving out such worthless things would be a good deal.
People should not underestimate women. They could also make a difference.
After all, there were a lot of men who would obey their wives’ commands.
Old Mrs. Yuan was getting better day by day.
Her waking time was also getting longer.
Yuan Hui was pleased.
“Grandmother.” As soon as Yuan Hui entered the door, she first called Old Mrs. Yuan sweetly.
Old Mrs. Yuan looked over and waved. “Huihui, come here.”
Yuan Hui took the medicine and said, “Grandma, take the medicine first.”
But Old Mrs. Yuan pretended to be confused and changed the topic. She said, “You have lost weight recently. Are you too worried about me?”
“Take the medicine, grandma.”
“Huihui, you are still young. Don’t always worry as much as a granny. Girls should smile as much as Chuchu.”
When Old Mrs. Yuan said this, she looked at Zhao Chuchu.
Zhao Chuchu could not help smiling.
Old Mrs. Yuan tried her best to avoid taking medicine for the past two days.
Old Mrs. Yuan just wanted to tease Yuan Hui.
Every time Yuan Hui got nervous, she saw Old Mrs. Yuan smiling teasingly.
This was probably the way they got along with each other. Zhao Chuchu felt it was really good.
Yuan Hui glared at Old Mrs. Yuan and said, “Grandmother! If you don’t take it, I won’t come tomorrow.”
Old Mrs. Yuan smiled and said, “Alright, alright. Chuchu, see? Huihui is angry. Do you think she acts like a granny?”
Zhao Chuchu said, “Well, Huihui is worried about you, Old Mrs. Yuan.”
“With you and your medicine around, I feel better day by day.”
“Grandma, stop talking. Take the medicine quickly. Don’t say it’s bitter.”
Old Mrs. Yuan frowned and said, “Huihui, this medicine is so bitter. Can I wait till it’s cooler?”
Yuan Hui immediately said, “Not a chance! Let me feed you.”
Old Mrs. Yuan could not escape, so she had to take the bowl and drink the medicine.
Then she said to Yuan Hui, “Huihui, this medicine is bitter as hell!”
Yuan Hui took a candied fruit and put it in Old Mrs. Yuan’s mouth, “Try this.”
Old Mrs. Yuan immediately smiled.
Looking at such a lovely old lady, Zhao Chuchu also smiled.
Sometimes an oldie could really bring a lot of joy.
But sometimes, an oldie could really drive people crazy.
Fortunately, Old Mrs. Yuan was the kind that brought joy.
Old Mrs. Yuan asked Zhao Chuchu to come over and then pointed to the scroll paintings beside the bed. “Chuchu, come and see if any young man in these scroll paintings is suitable for Huihui. I must help Huihui find a good husband when I am still in high spirits.”
Yuan Hui blushed. “Grandma, stop it!”
“Men and women should get married when they are old enough. If I don’t help you, you might hate the one your mother found for you. Huihui, you should see if there is anyone you like. If so, I will take you to have a look when I am better in a few days. We can’t be careless about your marriage!”
Old Mrs. Yuan was looking at Yuan Hui with a loving face.
Zhao Chuchu was already looking at those paintings.
She wondered if Old Mrs. Yuan had asked people to find all the portraits of the young men in Guangqing Province.
