Chapter 115: 121 No Place For You To Talk

121 No Place For You To Talk

Kang Xiuwan was stunned.

Zhao Chuchu continued, “You kept saying that you don’t want your mother to die, but do you think she has any chance to survive in that household? She managed to escape death this time, but what about next time? Some things cannot be reverted once they’ve been started.

“I’m in no position to reprimand you. However, do you really think that they will feel guilty and change their ways after you return home? Wake up, and stop being so naive. The only thing waiting for you when you head back is death!”

“Then what should I do?” Kang Xiuwan asked in a daze.

Zhao Chuchu said seriously, “Make this whole issue as big a deal as you can. That way, you’ll gain the upper hand. Rather than hoping that heartless people will turn back, it’s better to find a path for yourself. Your mother may not die if she leaves your father, but she will definitely die if she stays by his side!”

“Make it a big deal?”

“Rather than letting them control you with this incident, you should act before them! Even if you go back now, the only outcome for your mother is to get divorced or become a mistress!”

“That’s impossible. How could she become a mistress when she’s his wife?”

“From my point of view, that’s something that the Kang clan can do.”

Kang Xiuwan remained silent for quite a while.

She knew very well that Zhao Chuchu was speaking the truth.

But, as a child, what could she do for her mother?

She wanted her mother to leave that household, but would her mother agree?

“Have you made up your mind?” Zhao Chuchu asked.

“My mind is in a mess. I don’t know what to do.” Kang Xiuwan shook her head.

According to what she had been taught, those things that Zhao Chuchu said were incredibly immoral.

The most daring thing she had ever done in her entire life was to catch a caterpillar and put it on that woman’s shirt.

“If you have the intention, you should make up your mind as soon as possible. Time can wipe out a lot of clues. If you wait too long, they’ll take advantage of the situation instead. Miss Kang, do you want to be controlled by someone else for the rest of your life, or are you willing to fight for yourself for once?”

Kang Xiuwan looked toward Zhao Chuchu.

Zhao Chuchu’s words could be considered absolutely shocking, but Xie Heng simply stood aside and listened. He didn’t say anything to refute her.

Were there really couples in this world that would respect each other to such an extent?

Just then, Doctor Lu’s daughter-in-law brought the mammy out.

Kang Xiuwan happened to meet the mammy’s eyes.

The mammy’s eyes were filled with resentment. She said, “Miss, how daring of you. You conspired with an outsider to harm someone from your household. I wonder how you will explain this to Old Madam when we return to Fu City.

“There’s no place for you to talk here!” Zhao Chuchu glanced at her coldly.

When the mammy heard Zhao Chuchu speak, she felt chills all over her body. She lowered her head and didn’t dare look at Zhao Chuchu.

“I’m reporting this to the governing bureau.” Kang Xiuwan gritted her teeth and made her decision. “Chuchu, please help me.”

The moment she said that, the mammy panicked. “Miss, are you insane? Your reputation will be completely ruined if you report this to the governing bureau. You’re going to get married soon. Aren’t you afraid that he’ll call off the wedding because of this? Don’t you know what you can and cannot do? Shouldn’t you think about this?”

“My mother almost died, and we weren’t the only ones there. How is this supposed to ruin my reputation?” Kang Xiuwan said angrily. “Mammy, you refused to let the doctor save my mother, and you tried to force me to return to Fu City immediately. What was your intention?”

The mammy didn’t dare look at Kang Xiuwan. Instead, she argued, “I did those things for your sake. This was one of the few times Madam went out with you, yet she ran into bandits and almost lost her life. If other people find out about this, they will think that you’re bringing bad luck to your family and will despise you for it. Anyway, we need to return to Fu City as soon as possible and ask Old Madam for a solution!”

“Are you saying that getting ambushed by bandits wasn’t the bandits’ fault but your fault? Your madam was almost killed in the incident, yet you won’t allow her to report it to the governing bureau, and you’re insisting on returning to Fu City…The more I think about it, the more interesting it seems, doesn’t it? Could it be that you were involved in this ambush?”

Zhao Chuchu cut into the conversation and looked at the mammy with a half-smile.

“The Fu City is too far to be helpful right now. You’re ignoring the local governing bureau and insisting on going all the way back. This all seems like you are desperately trying to hide something.”

“Nonsense, you’re trying to frame me!” the mammy said nervously. The moment she panicked and tried to speak faster, her jaw hurt so much that a cold sweat formed on her forehead.

“You know the truth yourself.” Zhao Chuchu raised her chin and said, “What are you waiting for? You want her to return to Fu City to get reinforcements?”

Kang Xiuwan stopped hesitating. She asked Doctor Lu’s family for help. She ignored the mammy’s struggling and sent her to the governing bureau.

Zhao Chuchu and Xie Heng didn’t follow them.

This was someone else’s family matter. As long as Kang Xiuwan wasn’t helplessly stupid, she would know how to eliminate this mammy.

When that happens, even if they cannot get the person behind the mammy, they will still be able to make him pay a hefty price.

As for whether they would come to Zhao Chuchu and look for trouble, Zhao Chuchu wasn’t worried at all.

If they dared do something like that, she would make sure they wouldn’t be able to return.

The mammy exposed a lot of information about the original owner’s mother.

She ran away with another man…

Kang Xiuwan’s mother didn’t look like she came from a poor family. The original owner’s father also looked like an honest person and didn’t look like someone who would deceive girls.

Zhao Chuchu doubted the claim about the original owner’s mother running away with another man.

She was more convinced that the original owner’s mother was sold here by human traffickers.

On the way back to the hotel, Zhao Chuchu asked Xie Heng, “How much do you know about the ori… my mother? I never knew where her hometown was.”

“There’s no way that she had run away. If that were true, Madam Yang would have treated her even worse. Did you forget that she said her father was a doctor?”

Of course, Zhao Chuchu didn’t forget. She even used this as a reason to deceive other people.

But both the original owner and she knew that this grandfather, a doctor, didn’t exist.

“I’m guessing she was trafficked here. After someone saved her, she decided to marry him,” Zhao Chuchu said. According to the original owner’s memories, her father and mother were very affectionate toward each other. Her father cared a lot for her mother.

That was also the reason why Madam Yang hated her family very much. She felt that her mother had caused her to lose a son.

After the original owner’s parents died, Madam Yang stopped treating the original owner as a human.

“Do you want to investigate this?” Xie Heng asked.

“Yes, in some sense, they gave me a new life.”

She should seek revenge when she was wronged and give back to the people who helped her. She couldn’t let the original owner’s mother get smeared like this after she died.

That was unfair toward her.

“If you’re talking about the Xia clan of Guangqing Province, they’re arch-enemies with the Yuan clan. The Xia clan is also in the salt business.”

Zhao Chuchu was shocked.

The original owner’s mother was born into a wealthy family?

But based on the original owner’s memories, her mother didn’t look like she was born with a silver spoon in her mouth. Instead, she was a great worker both at home and out on the farm. Clearly, she was used to doing those things.

Zhao Chuchu’s shock only lasted for a while.

“There are too many points of suspicion here,” Zhao Chuchu said. “A salt merchant cannot be poor, yet the Kang clan dares to scheme against a woman from a salt merchant clan. Besides, the Kang clan doesn’t look very powerful either.”

“The Xia clan has been going downhill in recent years. It’s also very possible that the Kang clan managed to establish connections with someone else higher than them.” A dim light flashed across Xie Heng’s eyes as he said, “There are some people who forget who they are the moment they get their hands on power.”
