The Chief Minister's Ferocious Wife

Chapter 283 - 283 Why Not Have a Try?

283 Why Not Have a Try?

“Go away, don’t try to stop me!” Xia Jiahui wanted to push Kang Xiuwan away and rushed up to slap Zhao Chuchu.

Kang Xiuwan grabbed Xia Jiahui and whispered, “Are you sure you can beat her? She has the support of the Yuan clan. You are definitely no match for her!”

When Xia Jiahui heard this, she remembered that Zhao Chuchu shot down several pigeons with one arrow. Then Xia Jiahui became less arrogant.

She was really no match for Zhao Chuchu.

!!

But Xia Jiahui still pretended that she was not afraid of Zhao Chuchu. She said, “I will let you go this time. I will teach you a lesson if you dare to offend me again.”

“I think you are too weak to beat me.” Zhao Chuchu looked at Xia Jiahui arrogantly. What could Xia Jiahui do to her?

Xia Jiahui stared at Zhao Chuchu as if she were going to tear Zhao Chuchu apart.

Zhao Chuchu looked right back at Xia Jiahui.

In the end, Xia Jiahui gritted her teeth and walked away. She didn’t dare to do anything to Zhao Chuchu.

She was terrified that Zhao Chuchu would tell her illness to others.

It was such a private matter. If Zhao Chuchu were not powerful, she would never say that to anyone.

Xia Jiahui did not want to take the risk.

Xia Jiahui ran away, and Kang Xiuwan took a look at Zhao Chuchu anxiously. And then, she turned to chase Xia Jiahui in case anything happened to Xie Jiahui in Laurel Garden.

Kang Xiuwan knew Xia Jiahui too well.

When Xia Jiahui left, the atmosphere in the garden seemed to change again.

Those who wanted to embarrass Zhao Chuchu did not dare to come forward anymore.

What they could do was isolate Zhao Chuchu together.

Zhao Chuchu had no chance to show her chess skills now.

The eldest daughter of the Du clan pretended that she hadn’t seen Zhao Chuchu and just went to talk with other girls.

Yuan Hui sneered, “She just wants to be the center. She can’t tolerate anyone better than her. She seems to have good relationships with those people, right? You don’t know how she has satirized them privately. Her words are always not matched by her deeds. She doesn’t want anyone to steal her thunder.”

“I can see that. But she should never offend me. I don’t care what she likes to do, but I will definitely teach her a lesson if she dares to mess with me.”

“You’ve just embarrassed her, which means that she may be scolding you secretly! To tell the truth, you were really doing a great job. I don’t think they dare to mess with you again.”

“This poetry and literature gathering should not be over so soon, right? Should we find something else to do?”

Zhao Chuchu did not like such romantic affairs. She had prepared so much but was not doing this to show off.

The things in her box should be used for business.

“Do you know the girl over there?” Zhao Chuchu pointed to the pavilion. She had noticed the girl over there early in the morning.

Although she was wearing a veil, she was just lying to herself. The red and swollen pimples on her face were more severe than Chunxiang’s.

Moreover, the girl kept staying away from the crowd, presumably because of her inferiority, so she did not want to associate with others.

“That girl? She is the second daughter of the Du clan, the younger sister of Miss Du, who just played the stringed instrument with you. However, this Second Miss Du is treated as a virgin daughter, and that one is just a daughter of a concubine. Because of the mother of Second Miss Du, she was recorded as Mrs. Du’s daughter and became a virgin daughter.”

“But Second Miss Du seldom shows up in front of other people because of her face with such red and swollen pimples. She would not come to the poetry and literature gathering in previous years. This year, I don’t know why, but she actually came. Do you think it was her sister who played tricks? Otherwise, I don’t think she would come to this poetry and literature gathering at all.”

Yuan Hui told Zhao Chuchu a lot about Second Miss Du. Although Zhao Chuchu did not say anything, she was pretty sure that Second Miss Du would come to the poetry and literature gathering because of her elder sister.

Zhao Chuchu walked up to Second Miss Du.

Miss Du had been watching Zhao Chuchu.

Miss Du saw that Zhao Chuchu was going to the pavilion, and she could not help frowning. She wondered what Zhao Chuchu was going to do. Miss Du did not think Zhao Chuchu could get any benefit from that ugly woman.

At this moment, Zhao Chuchu had already reached the pavilion. The servant girl of Second Miss Du, standing outside the pavilion, stopped Zhao Chuchu immediately. She said, “Miss Lin, I’m sorry. Second Miss Du has caught a cold. In case you might also catch one, I suggest you go somewhere else, okay?”

Zhao Chuchu said calmly, “I know a little about medicine. If Second Miss Du really caught a cold, maybe I could heal her.”

“Miss Lin, I’m sorry, you had better…”

“Don’t be so rude, Donglan.” Second Miss Du stopped the servant girl’s words and then got up and walked out of the pavilion. She then said, “My servant girl was being so rude. Please forgive her for her offending words. I will leave with her right now. You can do whatever you want here.”

Yuanhui stopped her and said, “Second Miss Du, wait. We come for you.”

Second Miss Du seemed to be a little surprised. She said, “Me? I don’t know you guys at all. What do you want from me?”

Zhao Chuchu came straight to the point. “I have seen your face. No matter how hard you tried to cover the red and swollen pimples on your face, people can still see it.”

Donglan got furious. She shouted, “What did you just say? How dare you be so rude? I thought the two of you were good people. It turns out I was wrong. I didn’t expect you came to make fun of Second Miss on purpose! You are not going to bully Second Miss when I’m here!”

“You misunderstood me. I didn’t mean to make fun of her.”

“Did you just hear yourself? How dare you say that you did not mean to make fun of Second Miss? Are you treating us as fools? Second Miss, let’s get out of here. We don’t have to talk to people like them.”

Donglan said that and dragged Second Miss Du away.

Zhao Chuchu reached out and stopped her. “I haven’t finished my words. You will regret it if you leave here so soon.”

“We’ll regret it if we stay here! Miss Lin, we have never offended you before, right? Why do you have to do this to Second Miss?”

“Donglan, forget it. Let’s just leave.”

Second Miss Du said that calmly. She seemed to be used to being mocked by others. She didn’t mean to argue and didn’t want Donglan to mess with Zhao Chuchu.

“Second Miss…”

“Alright, let’s go.”

Donglan wanted to say something, but Second Miss Du interrupted her.

“It’s my fault if you get upset. I’m sorry.” Second Miss Du bent a little and wanted to pass Zhao Chuchu.

“Second Miss Du, if I can cure your face, do you still want to get out of here?” Zhao Chuchu didn’t stop Miss Du but said such a sentence calmly.

...

Second Miss Du paused for a moment and smiled. She then said, “Thank you for your kindness, miss. However, this is what my face is going to be. I don’t want to bother you anymore.”

Yuan Hui raised her eyebrows and said, “Second Miss Du, how do you know what your face will be if you don’t even give it a try?”

Then Yuan Hui pulled Chunxiang over and said, “Have you ever seen my servant girl? Her face was the same as yours, but now Miss Lin had almost cured her. Can you still see the red pimples on her face?”

Donglan immediately turned her head to look at Chunxiang.

Chunxiang felt kind of embarrassed to be stared at. She whispered, “The other servants of the Yuan clan can testify about this. Miss Lin really cured my face. In fact, it’s not completely cured yet. Miss Lin covered my pimples with powder, so people could barely see them.”

“What kind of powder can cover red pimples? Are you kidding me?” Donglan said.

However, Second Miss Du just stared at Chunxiang’s face.
