Zhao Chuc.hu laughed. “Why? Are you the emperor? Can you make sure that I’ll live the rest of my life in riches?”
“The emperor isn’t the only person who can make that promise. Zhao Chuchu, I know you are a smart lady. Your talent should not be wasted there.” Zhao Chuchu’s taunt did not anger the man. Instead, he chuckled. “Do you think Xie
Heng can give you that?”
“So, you are saying that I should become the dog of a nobody who hides in the dark corner?” Zhao Chuchu laughed even harder. “Do you really think that I would lower my head and follow someone like you for riches?”
“I’m only giving you one chance. There won’t be a second one.”
“Forget it. You know what I can do, so why should I work for you? I could easily make money with my own talent. There’s no reason for me to work for someone else.”
“I hope you can watch what you say. Fortunately for you, I’m in a good mood today. I wish not to fight you. Do you really think your hidden weapon can do much to us? Other than this place, we have set up other ambushes up ahead. Zhao Chuchu. You’re coming with me whether you like it or not.”
Zhao Chuchu almost puked at that.
“Does he really think he’s the king or something?” The lady scoffed in her head.
She was not the type of person who would follow anyone just because she was promised riches. That person still had to prove themselves before she would even consider it.
“You sure are disgusting.” Zhao Chuchu sighed. “Do you know what usually happens to people like you?
The man pretended not to hear what she had just said. “Are you going to ignore the two people behind the rock? Zhao Chuchu, I know you can be a little arrogant because of your talent, but not knowing what’s happening around you is more than being arrogant.”
“So, I’m being more than arrogant because I don’t want to be your dog? If you’re so good, why don’t you challenge the emperor? Spill it. Who sent you here? Don’t tell me it’s the Sikou clan?”
“Sikou Ming? He doesn’t have the power or the authority to order me around. Who I am is not important. What’s important is that I can promise you money and things that Xie Heng can’t give you.”
“Then, can you make me the empress?
The man was caught off guard by that and could not reply right away.
Zhao Chuchu laughed. “Don’t make promises you can’t keep, or else you’ll be made fun of.”
“Zhao Chuchu, is this your real personality? Do you really think you can do whatever you want just because you are a famous doctor?” The man’s voice deepened.
“Why not? Everyone is afraid of dying. But, you have to make sure you have the skill to back you up if you really want to kill me. Since you aren’t going to tell me who sent vou. then there’s no point in keeping this conversation going.
Remember to tell the lord of hell how you die here.”
As soon as she finished her sentence, Zhao Chuchu’s gaze turned sharp, and she started to summon her power.
The other men quickly moved in front to protect the man who was talking to Zhao Chuc.hu.
“Ants.” Zhao Chuchu glared at them and gripped her fist.
The men suddenly felt a sharp pain in their chests, and they soon lost the ability to breathe.
The man who wore a mask became restless. “You dare to kill me? I’m the Fourth Prince!”
“The Fourth Prince?
Zhao Chuchu increased the speed of her power.
Now that the man had exposed his own identity, it made Zhao Chuchu more determined to kill him.
There was no reason for her to keep him alive so that he could trouble her again in the future.
The fourth prince could never have imagined that not only he had failed the ambush on Zhao Chuchu, but he would also die in Songyang Valley because of that.
As the people fell one by one, Zhao Chuchu had no expression on her face. All the people who had come with the Fourth Prince were already dead. Not another soul knew that he was there, and no one would ever learn that Zhao Chuchu was the one who killed him.
Zhao Chuchu was not acquainted with the Fourth Prince, but she knew he was ruthless and had killed numerous good government officials.
Now that he came to her on his own, she felt that it would be disrespectful not to kill him.
The Fourth Prince died almost instantly.
Zhao Chuchu walked over to the prince and took his mask off. The man’s eyes were still open wide as if he still could not believe his fate.
She then started to loot everything off the prince’s corpse before spreading a powder all over the dead bodies. After a few minutes, the corpses disappeared without leaving any traces behind.
Zhao Chuchu then cleaned the scene and made it look like nothing had happened.
After that, she put their belongings into her carry-on space before disposing of the dead horse and destroyed coach.
As for Xie Jun and the coachman, she decided to remove their memories of the event. She brought them to the next village and bought a new horse and a coach before waking them up.
They had forgotten the ambush entirely and thought they had spent the night in the town.
Zhao Chuchu had no choice but to do this, or Xie Jun would start having nightmares of what happened and even develop PTSD.
The rest of the journey home was peaceful.
They finally arrived at the capital city three days later.
As Xie Heng was still at the academy and had yet to return home, Zhao Chuchu took Xie Jun to Ruyu Center.
Ruyu Center had developed a lot, and many women visited the center daily.
Other than strengthening their bodies, these women came for the classes too.
There was no place like Ruyu Center where almost all of the wives of prominent families had gathered.
Jixiang taught the class diligently and would correct the postures and actions of the women who came.
It was hard for Jixiang initially, as most women wanted Zhao Chuchu to teach them. It was natural for them to oppose being taught by another person without warning.
However, Jixiang did not give up, and she eventually won their respect through her ability.
Now, everyone respected Jixiang a lot.
“When did you come back?’ Chang Hong was surprised to see Zhao Chuchu. “I didn’t hear anything from Mr. Xie.”
“We were planning to come back as soon as the Mid Autumn Festival was over, but a good friend of mine had a wedding, so we came back later than I had planned. How’s Ruyu Center? Is everything okay?”
“It’s doing great. You sure have an eye for talent. Jixiang is really good, and the other ladies were working hard too. But, most of them are still learning.” “That’s good to hear.”
“Since you are here, why don’t you take a look at this month’s account?”
Zhao Chuchu nodded and followed Chang Hong.
After checking the account, Jixiang had finished her first class. She was excited when she saw Zhao Chuchu. “You’re back!”
“That’s right! Are you used to this now?” Zhao Chuchu asked Jixiang while smiling.
“Yes. Everyone’s doing good too.” Jixiang nodded.
“Great. You’ll be in charge of Ruyu Center from now on. Just let me know if you have any questions.”
“All of the center?” “Yes. ”
“But, I’m worried…”
“Don’t worry. Have some faith in yourself. Wasn’t Ruyu Center doing good when I was away for a month? Take your time and learn everything step by
“I’ll do my best!” Jixiang believed that only by giving her best could she repay Zhao Chuc.hu’s trust in her.
“That’s the spirit!’
Zhao Chuchu then spent the rest of the day in Ruyu Center, taking over the classes when Jixiang took a break.
Almost everyone knew Zhao Chuchu had gone to Yuanjiang County for the last few weeks. Now that she was back, she was showered with questions, and she individually addressed every one of them..
