The Chief Minister's Ferocious Wife

Chapter 205 - 205 She Doesn’t Have the Chance

205 She Doesn’t Have the Chance

“Since you have both agreed, then I’ll take my leave. You can send someone to let me know if you are ready, and I will arrange for someone to send you there,” Qiao Heting cupped his hands and said.

“No need, Mr. Qiao. You can go ahead, and we will get there as soon as possible,” Xie Heng said.

“Okay, see you later.”

“See you.”

“Don’t bother to see me out.”

Qiao Heting turned around and left.

When he left, Xie Jun hurriedly asked Xie Heng, “Brother, where are you going?”

“Mingan Province, and I’ll take you with me.” Xie Heng was brief and concise.

Xie Jun looked full of surprise. “Are you going to take me out of town?”

“Yeah.”

“That’s great.”

“Practice your writing.”

“Okay!”

Xie Jun immediately sat back down.

He was pleased with the thought of being able to go to Mingan Province.

Speaking of which, the farthest place he had ever been was the county town of Yuanjiang County, and he had never been anywhere else.

Almost all people were like this when they were kids. They would get so excited about not having to stay home, even just visiting a neighboring village.

In the evening, Xie Heng and Zhao Chuchu returned to the room before talking about Qiao Heting.

“Da Lang, do you know Qiao Heting’s background?”

“He is the son of Duke Ding. County Magistrate Qiao is a side branch of Duke Ding, so in terms of generation, he is indeed Qiao Heting’s uncle.”

“Qiao Heting is actually the heir of a noble family…”

Zhao Chuchu thought he was just the son of a capital official, but she did not expect him to have such an unusual background.

No wonder he could take out two thousand taels of silver without hesitation.

“Duke Ding’s family and the Sikou clan have always been at odds, so you don’t have to worry about this having anything to do with Sikou Qin.”

Zhao Chuchu blinked. “After all, your ‘former ex-wife’ just appeared. Isn’t it normal for me to be suspicious?”

“Sikou Qin is not that smart. Don’t worry.”

“You do know her well.”

“We were more or less a nominal couple. And since I want to deal with the Sikou clan, I naturally have to know myself and my enemy in order to win every battle!” Xie Heng said frankly, “Even if I never had feelings for her, I still have to pretend to be that.”

“Pretend to be that?” Zhao Chuchu raised her eyebrows. “For example, what about? To play the loving couple outside?”

“Everyone thinks I’m not a good match for Sikou Qin, so it’s only natural that Sikou Qin would treat me like that.”

“So?”

“In the eyes of others, I was deeply in love with Sikou Qin and even risked to collect the bodies of their family when the Sikou clan was decimated.”

“What about the reality?”

“Junjun has too many enemies, more than just the Sikou clan. I always try to hide it from others and didn’t miss a single scene that should be done.”

The appearance of Sikou Qin made Xie Heng understand that he should confess to Zhao Chuchu one by one about what happened between him and Sikou Qin and even what he had done.

He did not want a stupid person to ruin his relationship with Zhao Chuchu.

The reason was that love was always unreasonable.

Xie Heng did not allow the existence of any threat.

Even if it was not very destructive.

All cracks were created by those gaps that were extremely easy to ignore.

He knew what he wanted and what he should do.

“Did you really collect the corpse for Sikou Qin?”

“The graves of the Sikou clan were dug by wild dogs later.”

Zhao Chuchu was speechless.

She thought that it was really ruthless.

Their dead bodies still had to suffer.

“Will you feel that I am ruthless, Chuchu?” Xie Heng said softly, “If you don’t like this, I can change…”

“Change what? Being merciful to your enemies means being cruel to yourself.” Zhao Chuchu interrupted Xie Heng. “If someone wants to kill me, I won’t spare him either.”

“In case you are afraid of me…”

“Are you joking with me, Da Lang?”

“No, I’m serious.”

Zhao Chuchu carefully stared at Xie Heng. Xie Heng’s gaze was very sincere.

Besides being ruthless enough, Xie Heng was also extremely patient.

However, in Sikou Qin’s opinion, it was apparent that Xie Heng was unfailingly devoted to her in his previous life.

...

Otherwise, she would not have come to Yuanjiang County to try to get back together with Xie Heng after marrying the Great Prince.

So this person died of stupidity in her previous life and would repeat the same mistake in this life.

How could a really smart woman be stupid enough to show herself?

Shouldn’t this kind of thing be done in secret?

Did she think the Great Prince’s people were blind? How could they not know about such a conspicuous person leaving Imperial City?

The threat of Sikou Qin was even less than Zhao Zhizhi.

At least at that time, she was temporarily confused and first attacked by Zhao Zhizhi. But the result was the same. Zhao Zhizhi died!

“Sikou Qin is pestering you. I’m afraid she’s going to come to the door soon,” Zhao Chuchu said.

She must be to pretend to be sick so that she could shamelessly stay and impress Xie Heng with her gentleness… Then she would reveal her true identity gradually.

A damsel in distress was saved by a poor intellectual and grew fond of him over time. Wasn’t that the plot of those storybooks?

“She doesn’t have the chance!”

...

Knowing that Sikou Qin appeared in Yuanjiang County, Xie Heng went to do what he had to do in the first place.

He would not let Sikou Qin come to disturb Zhao Chuchu.

“Well, what did you do?”

“I killed her.”

Zhao Chuchu had a shocked look on her face.

“When did you do that?”

“Soon.”

Xie Heng had no intention of letting Sikou Qin live when he knew she was just like him.

Sikou Qin knew Xie Jun’s identity, and Xie Heng would not let anyone threaten Xie Jun’s safety. Even more so, he would not let Xie Jun’s identity be exposed now.

Zhao Chuchu thought, “Xie Heng hasn’t gone out since yesterday, right?”

She found that Xie Heng was far more ruthless than she had imagined.

She also didn’t know what hidden trump Xie Heng actually held in his hands.

But since he did not intend to say, she did not plan to ask.

“Sikou Qin must die.” Xie Heng said calmly as if he was discussing with Zhao Chuchu what dish to eat. “People who are a threat to you and Junjun don’t need to be alive.”

“When did you do it?”

Zhao Chuchu couldn’t help but ask.

“I haven’t done it yet, but Sikou Qin will give me this opportunity.”

Xie Heng really knew Sikou Qin well.

Whatever she was prepared to do was in Xie Heng’s prediction.

Unfortunately, Sikou Qin herself did not know it and was still thinking about how to approach Xie Heng.

Obviously, the method of sending money would not work.

Sikou Qin asked people to inquire in Yuanjiang County and learned that Zhao Chuchu was somewhat capable. She quelled the plague and even made a lot of money by treating people.

She cured Xie Heng’s eye disease and now was treating Xie Jun.

Sikou Qin wanted to be the only loved one by Xie Heng and also the one who saved Xie Jun. Only in this case did she have the chance to always be in that position. Now that Xie Heng was snatched away by Zhao Chuchu, who appeared out of nowhere, how could she sit still?

No! If this continued, what if Xie Heng fell in love with Zhao Chuchu?

Then wouldn’t her existence be a joke?

Sikou Qin wanted Xie Heng to be just like his previous life, only with her in his heart and eyes!

As for this b*tch Zhao Chuchu, she’d better die earlier.

No one could snatch Xie Heng from her hands, not even God.

Xie Heng was hers!
