Zhao Chuchu ran to one side and gestured for Deng Dalin to get up. “I am already married. If I go back with you, I’m afraid my husband will not be so happy to see you. It’s not good for my reputation. If you really want to repay me, just live your own life.”
“I can explain to Mr. Xie. I just want to repay your kindness,” Deng Dalin said. Zhao Chuchu said, “No need. I didn’t save you for your repayment.”
Yuan Hui chimed in. “Why don’t you stay at the Yuan clan, Uncle Deng? You don’t have a place to go anyway. We are short-handed here because we fired some people a few days ago. Rest assured. This will not be on the contract. You can leave anytime if you have a better place to go in the future.”
Deng Dalin couldn’t believe what he had just heard.
“Miss Yuan, is it true what you said?”
“Yes, are you willing to stay in the Yuan clan?”
“I do. Of course, I do. Thank you, Miss Yuan.”
Deng Dalin moved to kneel again but was stopped by Yuan Hui.
“Although I let you stay in my family, I’ll make it clear first. If you fool around here, I will chase you out.”
“I will definitely work hard and will never fail you.”
“Good, because if you don’t, I’m afraid the Xia clan will definitely come after you when you go out.”
Speaking of the Xia clan, Deng Dalin’s expression changed at once.
He thought of his poor daughter Xi’er, who was still unaccounted for.
“I will never forget your kindness in my life. If I can be of any help to you in the future, just let me know. I’ll do anything you ask, even if it would cost my life.” “What do I need your life for? The most important thing is to live well.” Zhao Chuchu saw Deng Dalin’s expression and knew what he was thinking.
The Xia clan was really a sinner.
Now Huan’er’s face was cured, and Old Mrs. Yuan’s body was getting better day by day.
Zhao Chuchu did the math and thought it was almost time to return to Lengshui Village.
After all, she had no intention of confronting the Xia clan at present, so she could only hide for now.
Zhao Chuchu returned to the courtyard where she lived and told Yuan Hui, “Now that your grandmother is cured, I guess it won’t be appropriate for me to stay here in your family. I’ll go back to Yuanjiang County in a few days.” “So soon? Why don’t you stay a couple of days longer? I thought Second Miss
Du’s face is not yet cured.”
“As long as she does what I say, her face will heal soon.”
“You miss Mr. Xie, don’t you?”
Zhao Chuchu smiled but did not answer.
Yuan Hui teased her. “It’s all my fault. I should have brought Mr. Du over too. Not a day goes by without the thought of him, right? I mean, you’ve not seen him for a long time. You must miss him a lot.”
“Huihui, this is not funny at all. Wait until I find your secret!”
Yuan Hui laughed loudly.
“Probably that day will never come. Chuchu, you like Mr. Xie so much. How about him?”
“What do you think?”
“I think so. Otherwise, how would you be lost in love land?”
Zhao Chuchu thought about it and realized maybe she didn’t like him as much as Xie Heng did her.
“How could a man like that do so much for me if he didn’t really like me a lot?” she thought.
“Next time you come to the capital, make sure you bring Mr. Xie and Junjun with you. Then you can stay as long as you want.”
“He’ll come here for the Provincials Examination next year. We will come to the capital by then.”
“Really? Then let me know in advance so I can make preparations. Don’t turn me down. You have been very kind to us. It’s only reasonable for us to repay your kindness.”
“Good.”
The Ye clan did not give up Yuan Hui just because the Imperial City wanted to tie the knot with the Yuan clan.
They once again asked a matchmaker to come to the house who said in a flattering tone, “The men of a hundred families want a lady of a family.”
Before Old Mrs. Yuan scolded her, the matchmaker sent by the Hong clan also arrived.
Old Mrs. Yuan almost fainted from anger.
She didn’t see this coming.
They didn’t treat Huihui as a lady from a decent family.
The Ye clan and the Hong clan had such a scandal, yet they still wanted to marry Yuan Hui, which pissed her off.
Because of the letter from the Duke’s wife, Old Mrs. Yuan also became more confident.
She immediately went to find a broom and chased the two matchmakers out with it. “Go away! Get the fuck out of here. Even if Huihui never marries anyone in her life, she would never marry into your family! Huihui is the treasure of my family. You shameless people are never allowed to ruin her name!”
If you come here again, I will beat you to death, or I will definitely die of anger. Even if the Yuan clan has nothing and marries Huihui to a beggar, I will never let her enter such a family like yours!”
The two matchmakers ran away like startled rabbits.
Old Mrs. Yuan was still angry.
It didn’t occur to her that two matchmakers would come to her door at the same time.
“Do they really want Huihui to marry two men, like the two bastards?” she thought.
Old Mrs. Yuan had always been a man of reason, but this time she was extremely exasperated and unable to keep her sanity.
She even wanted to hold a knife to confront the Ye and Hong clans.
Mrs. Yuan gently patted her back and smoothed her hair. “Mother, they are here to piss us off. They will take delight in our misery. I think they are not coming to propose marriage but to provoke you to death.”
“Even if I only have one breath left in me, I won’t let them get what they want.”
“Why don’t we stop wasting time in the Imperial City and ask the Duke’s wife for her opinion as soon as possible? Now they are just trying to take advantage of us because we don’t have a man in this family.”
Old Mrs. Yuan did not want to reply to the Duke’s wife so soon.
But now that the Ye and Hong clans were doing something like this, she decided no more time should be wasted.
But they never expected that something more outrageous was yet to come.
In the daytime, they beat the matchmakers sent by the Ye clan and the Hong clan away, and at night Mr. Ye and Mr. Hong bribed the Yuan clan’s servants and sneaked into the Yuan clan’s backyard, intending to force Yuan Hui to sleep with them.
Unfortunately, they did not know that Zhao Chuchu, who lived in Yuan Hui’s courtyard, was not a woman to mess with.
They thought it would be quiet at night, so they would not be discovered.
As a result, before they got close to Yuan Hui’s courtyard, Zhao Chuchu noticed their presence.
Zhao Chuchu, who had not yet fallen asleep, quietly left the room and crouched on the tile surface to observe their actions. In a short time, they reached Yuan Hui’s courtyard.
“This is Yuan Hui’s room.”
“Got everything ready?”
“Well, I promise she will beg us to take her virginity like a whore.”
Zhao Chuchu was speechless.
“These two bastards!” she cursed secretly.
There was no way she would let these two perverts ruin Yuan Hui’s reputation.
Zhao Chuchu quietly came behind the two and tapped them on the shoulders. “What are you doing here so late at night, gentlemen?”
The two people were so scared that they were about to scream, but Zhao Chuchu moved faster, and before they could make a sound, she slapped them unconscious and took them out..
