Kang Liang had no idea what had happened just a few minutes ago and could only try to explain himself. “You must be mistaken! I never tried to trick you! I didn’t know Zhao Chuchu could do martial arts, either! Did she offend you in some way?
He was trying to see if he could get any information out of Sikou Ming.
It was hard to tell whether Sikou Ming was smiling when he replied, “What do you think?”
Kang Liang could feel a chill down his spine.
“Don’t worry, sir. I’ll make sure that Zhao Chuchu will treat you.”
“Get lost, you stupid piece of trash!”
If Kang Liang had not mentioned that, Sikou Ming would not have gotten even more furious.
The man from the Imperial City kicked Kang Liang in his chest.
The head of the Kang clan almost passed out from that.
He found it hard to breathe and was lying on the floor, grasping his chest.
Sikou Ming then left furiously, leaving Kang Liang looking at his guest dumbfoundedly.
He had no idea why Sikou Ming would become so infuriated.
He quickly chased after his guest and asked, “Sir, I think you misunderstood something! Please give us a chance to explain!”
“Get lost, or tomorrow will be your funeral!” said Sikou Ming coldly as he turned around.
Another chill could be felt down Kang Liang’s spine, and he stood there.
Sikou Ming scoffed and left.
Kang Liang lost his wealth and was hurt on the same day. He was angry as well. He started to ask around and finally got to ask the two women guarding Xia Chengxuan’s room. He was able to calm that anger a little after beating them until they were half dead.
His hatred toward Zhao Chuchu skyrocketed. Not just her but Xia Chengxuan and Kang Xiuwan as well.
On the other hand, Xia Chengxuan and her daughter had moved into one of the mansions that were given to the Kang clan as part of the wedding gifts.
With the help of the Yuan clan, they were able to settle down quickly.
“Madam Xian, do you need anything else?” asked the butler of the Yuan clan.
“My madam has told me to take care of anything you or your daughter need.”
“Thank you, but we should be fine now. Oh, can I trouble you to find one or two trustworthy servants?”
“That’ll be easy. I’ll have them come here in a couple of days.”
“Thank you so much.”
Since Xia Chengxuan had gotten her money back, she could give the butler some silver as a tip.
After receiving the tip, the butler acted even faster.
“Chuchu, thank you. If not for you, we wouldn’t have a place to stay now.”
“Don’t worry about it. But don’t expect people to help you forever. You’ll have to stand up for yourself. The Kang clan won’t just let this slide. You’ll have to be careful.”
“I understand.”
“Since you two have settled down, I’ll head back first.”
“Why don’t you have lunch first before heading back?”
“I’ll pass. I’m way too tired, and I need my sleep. You two should get some rest, too,” Zhao Chuchu replied as she yawned.
The truth was that she wasn’t as exhausted as she portrayed herself to be.
But, after running around for the whole day, she just wanted to lie down and rest.
“I understand. Thank you for today.”
“It’s fine. I’ll leave first.”
Zhao Chuchu waved her hand and left Xia Chengxuan’s house.
After getting her wedding gift back, Xia Chengxuan and her daughter could now live comfortably without worrying about money in Guangqing Province.
However, the words of Zhao Chuchu humiliating the Kang clan had already spread throughout the capital.
The Kang clan’s reputation suffered as a result.
Most of the women sided with Zhao Chuchu, while men mainly criticized her actions.
“If I have a relative like Zhao Chuchu, my in-laws would definitely treat me better. Zhao Chuchu sure is amazing! Even the Kang clan can’t do anything to her.”
“Heck! Who wants a barbaric woman like that? What right does she have to interfere with another familys business?
“Do you think you can get her if you want to? There’s no way such a talented lady would fall for a man like you. Stop dreaming! You’re not even worth her time to look at!”
“That Xie Heng is just a scholar too! Marrying such a lady would just ruin his future! What if she’s talented? What use is there if she can’t help her husband succeed? She’ll just get abandoned.”
“What a joke! You’re now saying that she will stop her man from succeeding because you can’t be as good as her? If you’re so good, why don’t you let your wife live a better life then?”
Because of that, the women and the men of the capital started to argue.
Yet, Zhao Chuchu and Xie Heng didn’t even pay attention to that.
When Zhao Chuchu returned home, Xie Jun was studying in the garden.
When he saw Zhao Chuchu, the boy quickly put his book down and ran toward her. “Sis, where were you? Did something happen? Why didn’t you notify us that you would not come home last night? I was worried that you had left bro!
Please don’t leave him! He still needs his wife!”
Zhao Chuchu couldn’t help but laugh.
“Young man, you’re overthinking things. I already told your brother.. Did he not tell you?
