Chapter 306: Just Once
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Xia Songquan listened and forgot about it, not taking Lu Mingโs words to heart.
โWell, keep an eye on the five thousand taels of silver in case someone has the guts to take that,โ Xia Songquan said to Lu Ming. And this โsomeoneโ referred to Xia Chengzhu.
Lu Ming took the order and turned around to leave.
He went to the accountant, who was in a standoff with the person who came to ask for money because of the sudden expenditure of such a large amount of money.
That was because the accountant would not easily give out so much money without Xia Songquanโs token.
Otherwise, if they asked him to take responsibility because of the lack of evidence, he could never pay it back, even if he didnโt eat or drink for the rest of his life.
โThis five thousand taels of silver is Old Mr. Xiaโs decision. Give it to him. Itโs for Mr. Chengxueโs consultation fee,โ Lu Ming walked over and explained to the accountant.
The most authoritative person in the Xia clan was Xia Songquan, but the most credible one was Lu Ming.
Lu Ming had been a butler in the Xia clan for so many years that he had more right of speech than several of Xia Songquanโs sons.
The accountant took out five thousand taels of silver only when he saw Lu Ming come.
โI will go over with you,โ Lu Ming said and walked towards Xia Chengxueโs courtyard.
Xia Chengzhu didnโt expect Xia Songquan to be so generous and take out five thousand taels of silver directly.
As Xia Songquanโs son, he could only get five hundred taels at most, but his father was so generous to a woman.
Xia Chengzhu did not feel good in his heart.
But what could he do? He was not the head of the Xia clan now.
โMiss Lin, Old Mr. Xia said heโll pay you more if you can cure Mr. Chengxue. The five thousand taels of silver are just the initial consultation fee. Youโll get more later.โ Lu Ming gestured for the subordinates to bring up the silver.
Zhao Chuchu pretended to look like she had never seen such much money, her eyes shining. โSo much silver? Old Mr. Xia is too generous.โ
Lu Ming saw this and smiled faintly. โOld Mr. Xia has always been generous. Money is just extraneous things to him.โ
โAlas, you are so wealthy!โ Zhao Chuchu exclaimed. Then she did not even bother to pretend to refuse and took it with a smile.
This was what she deserved.
Lu Ming asked, โThe silver is too much. Should I have someone send it back for you, Miss Lin?โ
After counting the amount of silver, Zhao Chuchu turned back and asked, โButler, I donโt want the silver. Can I exchange it for something else?โ
โWhat do you want to exchange?โ
โItโs too obvious for a girl to bring so much silver. Why donโt you exchange it for bank notes for me? Itโs safer.โ
Lu Ming did not change his expression and nodded. โSomeone, carry these silver back. Exchange them into bank notes and send them here.โ
โThanks a lot.โ
โAs long as you are satisfied, Miss Lin. May I ask howโs Mr. Chengxue doing?โ
โI can save his life, but whether he can still recover as a normal person depends on his luck. This is beyond the reach of human power. Butler, I have said from the beginning that I would try my best, but now there is nothing I can do.โ
โThe doctor said Mr. Chengxue wonโt live long, so you have already saved him if you can keep him alive. As for what will happen after that, itโs up to him to make his fate.โ
โIโm relieved that you are so reasonable. Please go back and tell Old Mr. Xia that
Mr. Chengxueโs life is not in danger.โ
โOkay. Thank you, Miss Lin.โ
โIโll take my leave and come back tomorrow to do acupuncture for Mr.
Chengxue.โ
โOkay.โ
After Zhao Chuchu got the bank notes, she left the Xia clan with her medicine box.
Xia Chengzhu chased after her. โMiss Lin, my hidden illnessโฆโ
โTake the medicine as I say, and make sure to control yourself.โ Zhao Chuchu raised her eyebrows. โMr. Chengzhu, donโt think I canโt see anything just because Iโm a girl. You didnโt have much abstinence last night, right?โ Xia Chengzhu blushed in shame at being seen through. โJust onceโฆโ
โNot even half a time. Your recovery time will be a little longer if you indulge once. In the long run, your condition will worsen, and you will have no peace in the future.โ
โOkay, I remember. Next time, Iโll try not toโฆโ
โItโs quite good to clear your mind of desire, Mr. Chengzhu.โ ๐๐๐๐๐ฌ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ก.๐๐๐
Xia Chengzhu did not know why he had no desire for that kind of thing whenever Zhao Chuchu said this, and he did not dare to say anything as if he was a student being lectured by a teacher.
โIโll leave first. Donโt bother to see me out.โ Zhao Chuchu carried the medicine box and quickly left.
Xia Chengzhu lost the urge to go after Zhao Chuchu when he thought of her lecture just now.
He was most afraid of Zhao Chuchu saying that he was impotent!
A man could not be impotent.
Zhao Chuchu left the Xia clanโs house and threw the five thousand taels of silver into the carry-on space.
Zhao Chuchuโs murderous intentions were rising at the thought of those bad ones in the Xia clan.
Zhao Chuchu did not go back to the Yuan clanโs house but went to Xie Heng.
But once again, she was in vain. Xie Heng was not there.
But Xie Heng had someone tell Zhao Chuchu that he would be back in three days and that Zhao Chuchu didnโt have to worry because he was just going to take care of something.
Xie Heng did not say what the matter was, but without any reason, Zhao Chuchu felt that it was related to Yuan Hui.
Xie Heng did not care about other peopleโs affairs, but as long as Zhao Chuchu was involved, he would do his best to help her.
Sometimes Zhao Chuchu felt that she was a lucky star.
Otherwise, why did those close to her have Xie Hengโs secret help whenever they got into trouble? Didnโt they just take advantage of her good luck? Xie Heng was not in Guangqing Province, so Zhao Chuchu could only go back to the Yuan clanโs house.
When Zhao Chuchu went to the Xia clan, people from the Ye clan came to the Yuan clanโs door again, still trying to get Yuan Hui to marry Second Mr. Ye.
Old Mrs. Yuan was so angry that she was confined to bed sick.
In the end, it was Yuan Hui herself who appeared and chased the Ye clanโs people out.
Zhao Chuchu did not expect the Ye clanโs people to do such a thing.
How could there be a family that was so shameless to such an extent?
Did they really think that Second Mr. Ye was the unique treasure in the world so that an average family would be willing to marry their daughter to him after he had done so many absurd things?
โYou came back just in time. The Ye clan is really too shameless. Second Mr. Ye and Third Mr. Hong did that kind of thing in public, but they were still so shameless that they let me not mind because they just drank too much and made jokes. And they even said that itโs my good fortune to marry into the Ye clan!โ
Then Yuan Hui continued, โWho wants this fucking fortune? Since this is good fortune, why donโt they let their daughter marry him? Who are they to say that in front of me? Am I really so bad that I have to marry such a bastard? Damn
When Yuan Hui saw Zhao Chuchu, she didnโt even care about her image and said something foul.
Zhao Chuchu patted her and said, โWell, well, you are the daughter of the Yuan clan. I wonder how others will accuse you when they know you are like this. The Ye clan just wants to keep pestering you this time, so you canโt give them a chance to accuse you.โ
โIโd rather kill myself than marry a bastard like Second Mr. Ye.โ
โDonโt be angry. Someone will always come to teach the Ye clan a lesson.โ
โI used to think that our Yuan clan was very powerful for being rich, but now I know that being an official is the most impressive.. With power, one can trample on everything in the world, even the people!โ
