“Really? That’s great, Chuchu. Thank you. If you weren’t here, I would have had no idea what to do.” Kang Xiuwan’s eyes started turning red as she thanked Zhao Chuchu.

“No need to be so polite. Just pay me.” Zhao Chuchu didn’t warm up to Kang Xiuwan.

They had never come to search for the original owner before.

!!

They came to Yuanjiang County this time to search for Mrs. Xie, the miracle doctor. Xia Chenglan was only a secondary goal.

Kang Xiuwan felt like someone had just poured a pail of cold water on her head. She couldn’t cry anymore.

Just then, Xie Heng came out of the kitchen with a bowl of glutinous rice balls. He placed the bowl on the stone table in the courtyard and waved at Zhao Chuchu to go over. “Chuchu, come and eat. It’s going to get cold.”

“Okay.” Zhao Chuchu walked over. She ate an entire glutinous rice ball with each bite.

“Slowly, there’s still a lot left in the kitchen.” Xie Heng sat beside Zhao Chuchu and watched her. He didn’t even realize how gentle his eyes looked.

“I used to feel that glutinous rice balls made me sick if I ate too many of them. But the ones you cook don’t feel greasy at all. They’re delicious. It would be great if we had sweet glutinous rice wine. Sweet rice wine glutinous rice balls are delicious too!”

“Let’s try it next time.”

Kang Xiuwan looked at them interact as though no one else was present. Her eyes were filled with surprise.

She heard that Xie Heng was a scholar, yet he cooked for Zhao Chuchu.

That was a rare sight!

After Zhao Chuchu finished the bowl of rice balls, she passed the bowl to Xie Heng naturally. Xie Heng took it, stood up, and went to the kitchen to scoop another bowl for Zhao Chuchu.

“Where are Junjun and the others?”

“They’re still at the hotel. I followed you and came over.”

“Alright, then, let’s return in a while.

“Okay.”

Xie Heng’s gaze was fixated on Zhao Chuchu the entire time.

This was the first time that Kang Xiuwan saw such tenderness and care in a man’s eyes.

Not to mention how handsome this man was.

Zhao Chuchu realized that Kang Xiuwan had been staring at Xie Heng the entire time.

She felt a little uncomfortable, so she looked at her and asked, “Do you want some?”

Kang Xiuwan regained her senses. She felt a little nervous, as though she had just been caught doing something wrong. She said frantically, with her face a little red, “No need, I’m not hungry.”

“Okay.” Zhao Chuchu continued eating. She had no intention of introducing Xie Heng to Kang Xiuwan at all.

She had never interacted with the original owner before, so she was no different from a complete stranger.

She looked like she had been living a rather luxurious life. The original owner suffered alone for so many years, yet none of her relatives had come to search for her before.

Now that the soul in Zhao Chuchu’s body had been swapped, Zhao Chuchu felt no emotions toward them at all.

As for Xie Heng?

Xie Heng ignored her from the very beginning.

Kang Xiuwan stood around for a while. After feeling Zhao Chuchu’s cold attitude, she took off the only two gold accessories left on her and presented them to Zhao Chuchu. She said, “Chuchu, we lost all our belongings in the chaos. These are the only ones left. Please accept them. After I return home, I will send over the consultation fee.”

Zhao Chuchu took the gold accessories and said, “This is enough.”

Kang Xiuwan wanted to say something, but Zhao Chuchu was clearly not interested in talking to her.

“I’ll go look after my mother.”

“Go ahead. I’ll write down the prescription for you later. Come to my place tomorrow or the day after.”

“Okay!”

Kang Xiuwan thought that Zhao Chuchu was inviting her over for a gathering, which made her very glad.

The next moment, Kang Xiuwan realized that she was overthinking it.

“I only brought enough external wound ointment for one day. I’ll make more in the next two days. So come over and get them.”

It was just to get the medicine!

Zhao Chuchu had no intention of establishing a connection with them. In fact, she wanted to treat them as complete strangers.

“Chuchu, I’m not sure what happened in the past, but we were a family, and we will take care of you in the future,” Kang Xiuwan said. “I heard that there were no more elders in your family. How about you come back to Fu City with us? Your husband wants to study, right?”

“Yuanjiang County is great. I can study here,” Xie Heng said impassively. “I appreciate the goodwill, but Chuchu is quite timid, so Fu City probably isn’t suitable for her. However, we can discuss it again when she’s older.”

Timid?

Kang Xiuwan nearly couldn’t hold herself back from rebutting Xie Heng.

She made the mammy afraid of even seeing her.

But she couldn’t say something like that.

Xie Heng was her cousin’s husband, after all.

Since both Zhao Chuchu and Xie Heng looked like they didn’t want to get close to them, Kang Xiuwan didn’t continue to bother them.

She entered the room.

Doctor Lu walked out.

“Chuchu, is she fine now?” Doctor Lu asked.

“If I decide to treat the patient, that means I can save her.”

...

If anyone else had said something like that, Doctor Lu would have thought that it was nonsense.

But he believed Zhao Chuchu.

“Doctor Lu, do you know them?”

“Aren’t they your relatives?”

“To be honest, this is my first time seeing them.”

Doctor Lu was somewhat surprised.

“They’ve never come to look for you?”

“No.”

Doctor Lu understood the situation.

“Don’t worry. I will take care of them.”

He will charge whatever fees are necessary.

...

“Okay. She’s pretty much fine now, but she’ll need to rest for quite a while. So it’s best to let them stay at a hotel.”

“I know what to do.”

Zhao Chuchu pondered for a while, then said, “Since there are bandits outside the county, we should report it to the governing bureau!”

Doctor Lu understood what she was trying to say.

“Bring the mammy straight to the court,” Xie Heng said. “She’s completely unharmed. It’s not impossible that she was an accomplice. It could become very troublesome for us if they decide to be soft-hearted with her.”

“Should we ask them first?”

“No need. After all, they’re my aunt and cousin…I think it’s normal for me to want to seek justice for them.”

“But the mammy’s jaw…”

“Don’t worry. She can still speak.”

It was just dislocated. She could fix it back quite easily.

However, Zhao Chuchu didn’t expect that Kang Xiuwan wasn’t soft-hearted. She simply refused to report this to the governing bureau.

“If other people knew about this, it would damage the reputation of both my mother and me. Cousin, you might not know this, but our lives in the Kang clan aren’t comfortable. Mother took someone else’s place. Now, someone wants her to move away from that place,” Kang Xiuwan said softly.

“If Mother dies, that person can replace her. If Mother is alive and the encounter with the bandits gets leaked, she will be divorced because her reputation will be tarnished. So regardless of what we do, this is a dead end. I’m sorry, cousin. I would rather my mother remain alive, even if it’s a little more miserable.”

Zhao Chuchu was speechless.

“Based on how you’re putting it, your dad knows about this, right?”

“He…might not know about it.”

Kang Xiuwan wasn’t too sure herself.

She was her mother’s only child, but they wanted a son. Now, someone else gave birth to a son for him, so they want Mother to move from her position.

Her father was probably…thinking the same thing.

For a moment, Zhao Chuchu didn’t know how to comment on this situation.

“So you’re just going to let it happen and pretend like nothing is going on?”

“Yes, we’ve already experienced the worst possible outcome. Compared to that, the situation right now is good,” Kang Xiuwan said. “I know you would say that I’m a coward. However, I only have one mother. I can’t just watch her die in front of me.”

Zhao Chuchu stared at her, then asked coldly, “When the mammy forced you to return home, you almost had to watch her die once. That was the worst possible outcome. Is it really that difficult to leave those people?”
