Chapter 446 - 446: Compensate You for Whatever You Should Have Gotten from the Xia Clan (3)



“Hmm. I have turned him down,” Xie Heng nodded as he replied. “Chuchu, do you want to save him?”

Zhao Chuchu raised her eyebrows and said, “What makes you think so? Is it not obvious enough that I’m rejoicing at his misfortune? Unless it rains blood, I’ll never save him.”

Yu Linjiang was narrow-minded. He tried all sorts of ways to kick Xie Heng out of Qingyang Academy just because the latter was more talented than him. He even slandered Xie Heng.

If Yu Linjiang’s target were an ordinary scholar, he would most likely have succeeded in his evil plan. The poor scholar would not have a chance to flourish in life.

It was because the imperial court paid close attention to a scholar’s reputation when the former considered whether or not to hire them.

Usually, a person with a bad reputation would never have a bright future.

Therefore, even if Zhao Chuchu were to bear the hatred of many people, she would never treat Yu Linjiang.

Yu Linjiang was in his current predicament because of his own doing. She and Xie Heng had not tricked or forced him.

Would he have fallen to his current state if he was not malicious?

“Even if it rains blood, you do not need to save him. If a person who is less than a beast lives for too long, they will eventually harm others. We might as well do good and prevent him from becoming a nuisance.”

“Alright.

Zhao Chuchu agreed wholeheartedly with Xie Heng.

She did not mind what other people said about her. Her mental fortitude was strong enough that no argument could tear her down!

Zhao Chuchu explained, “Yu Linjiangs scandal is already known throughout the capital. He has no other tricks to induce rumors to attack me. I have never been afraid of him. Moreover, Junjun never leaves the house, and you don’t mind these things. No matter how he tries to guilt-trip me, it is useless.”

She even left Madam Yang and the others of her clan to die. Who was Yu Linjiang to her?

If she were afraid, filial piety would have suffocated her.

Xie Heng said, “Such a thing won’t happen. By the way, the Third Prince has gotten his hands on most of the Xia clan’s shops and fields.”

“So soon?

“He has many capable people working under him. Taking over the Xia clan is not a difficult task for them.”

“Now that you mention it, the fall of any large clan always begins with infighting. The infighting in the Xia clan was so bad that the only reason they managed to last until now was because of the good karma accumulated by their ancestors.”

“No matter how much good karma their ancestors accumulated, it was not enough to cover for the wicked deeds of their descendants. Chuchu, do you truly have no interest in the property of the Xia clan?”

“None.”

She did not want to have any association with the Xia clan. It would be an insult to the original owner of her body and her mother.

As long as the Xia clan ceased to exist, no one could bring up the origins of the mother of the original owner of her body. After all, there would be no evidence to back up such a claim.

The mother of the original owner of her body must have hated the Xia clan. Otherwise, why would she have never mentioned them to others?

She would undoubtedly rejoice that the Xia clan had met such an end.

This was the least Zhao Chuchu could do for her.

Zhao Chuchu explained, “If I took their property, someone would definitely find out, and they might use it against you in the future after you become an official. Xia Xiaoxiao has passed away for so many years. I don’t want others to point fingers at her anymore. She deserves some peace in the underworld.”

“Alright. ”

“Da Lang, do you think I am foolish for giving up so many things?

“No, it is right to follow your heart. It is commendable that you can give up so many luxuries for her. Not everyone can resist such temptations.”

Even though the Xia clan was declining, they were salt merchants. They possessed wealth that ordinary people could not accumulate even if they did not eat and drink for ten lifetimes.

Even Xie Heng was tempted to get a share of the Xia clan’s inheritance.

However, he would not get involved since Zhao Chuchu did not want to have anything to do with them.

Xie Heng got out of bed and pulled out a square box from underneath Zhao Chuchu’s makeup table.

Since Zhao Chuchu seldom dressed up, she did not even realize a box was hidden there.

Xie Heng carried the box over and said, “This is to compensate for your loss.”

Zhao Chuchu did not understand what he meant by that.

Xie Heng gestured to her to open the box.

When she opened the box, her eyes lit up.

The box was full of banknotes. Every single banknote was worth 10,000 taels. Zhao Chuchu counted the notes, and there were 52 notes in total) equivalent to 520,000 taels.

She was at a loss for words.

Xie Heng was a hidden millionaire!

He could casually take out bank notes worth a few hundred thousand.

She wondered how many more treasures he had kept hidden from her.

“Da Lang, how much do you have, actually?” Zhao Chuchu counted the bank notes twice before she raised her head to look at Xie Heng.

Xie Heng replied frankly, “I have no idea either.”

After he was reborn, he got involved in trading. He was not sure exactly how much money he had, but he was confident that in terms of wealth, the Xia clan paled into insignificance compared to him.

Zhao Chuchu exclaimed, “I feel like I don’t have to do anything anymore for the rest of my life. I can also be a rich retiree.”

She put away the bank notes while grinning from ear to ear. She said, “It’ll be better if these bank notes are exchanged for silver. After all, the bank might go bankrupt one day.” “This bank will never go bankrupt.”

“Is the bank yours too?”

“Yes. ”

Zhao Chuchu was so shocked that she was speechless.

Now, she could really be a couch potato that did nothing.

“There are some things left to be settled in the bank. When it’s ready, I’ll hand over the bank to you, too,” said Xie Heng. “I will compensate you for whatever you should have gotten from the Xia clan.”

Zhao Chuchu did not lack money. However, she really liked Xie Heng’s willingness to give her everything he owned.

She was also not stingy in expressing her emotions. She hugged him and gave him a loud peck..
