“Who is making a ruckus out there? This is the property of the Kang clan!” A loud voice was heard from inside the building as soon as Zhao Chuchu finished her sentence insulting the head of the Kang clan.

Kang Xiuwan didn’t think twice to reach her arm out to stop Zhao Chuchu from going forward.

A few seconds later, Kang Liang walked out of the house.

He stood on the platform under the overhang and looked at Zhao Chuchu.

“What a rude lady! Who are you? Did your parents never teach you to be quiet around other people’s property?” Kang Liang roared and turned to Kang Xiuwan. “And you! Kang Xiuwan! Where is your greeting to your father? Where are your manners? That disgraceful Xia clan blood in you is showing, bitch!”

Zhao Chuchu was first rendered speechless and then she started to clap mockingly. “Mr. Xia, you sure are something. Your ability to make things up is amazing. Aren’t you supposed to know why am I here? You’ve done so many despicable things, yet we are the ones without manners. What does that make you? Oh, right. I’ve never learned to back off, by the way. I always remember those who tried to mess with me. If you want me to help you, then dream on.” Kang Liang was completely stunned by Zhao Chuchu.

The lady glared at him and scoffed. “Where’s Wanwan’s mother? We know she’s here.”

“Is that how you speak to someone older than you?” Kang Liang yelled angrily.

“Well, that’s how it is. Get used to it.” Zhao Chuchu shrugged.

“You!”

“You what?”

“Zhao Chuchu! Don’t you dare think that you can do whatever you want here just because you are a great doctor! This is the Kang clan, not the Xia clan!

Mind your manners!”

Kang Liang clapped his hands. About a dozen yard guards quickly surrounded Zhao Chuchu and Kang Xiuwan.

“What do you think you’re doing?” Kang Xiuwan could not believe what her father had just done. “Are you trying to threaten Chuchu?”

“You lured Zhao Chuchu here just as I expected you would. You, bring the Third Young Mistress to meet with her mother,” Kang Liang ordered. “Remember, don’t let her go anywhere else. We don’t want her to run into our esteemed guest and ruin his mood.”

The two guards closest to Kang Xiuwan immediately stood forward and tried to take her away.

Kang Liang was clearly trying to cause a misunderstanding between the two ladies, and Zhao Chuchu immediately saw through it.

Zhao Chuchu knew that Kang Xiuwan had nothing to do with Kang Liang bringing Xia Chengxuan back.

That was why when the yard guards approached Kang Xiuwan, Zhao Chuchu didn’t hesitate to kick them back.

“Trying to take her? You’ll have to go through me first.” Zhao Chuchu dragged Kang Xiuwan behind her. “I have a responsibility to protect my patient as a doctor. I won’t sit still and watch you do anything that might harm her.”

“Zhao Chuchu, this is the Kang clan! Mind your manners! This is not a place where you can be arrogant!”

It was as if Kang Liang had forgotten that Zhao Chuchu was famous for being arrogant in Guangqing Province.

He thought he didn’t have to worry about the Yuan clan because he had a

connection with someone from Imperial City. The biggest reason for his confidence was that the person had more authority than the Duke’s clan, which was backing the Yuan clan.

“Take Zhao Chuchu down!” Kang Liang ordered.

Zhao Chuchu had already overheard the conversation between Kang Liang and his guest inside the main hall. She was their target all along. They needed her to treat the guest’s illness, but the guest didn’t want other people to learn about the illness. That was why they had planned to subdue her instead.

Xie Heng was nothing more than a scholar to them, so they weren’t worried about retaliation from him.

They were also sure that they could take down a village lady easily.

Zhao Chuchu didn’t hold back against Kang Liang’s guards.

While protecting Kang Xiuwan behind her, she took down all the guards in a matter of seconds.

Kang Liang could not believe none of his yard guards managed to touch Zhao Chuchu and were now all lying on the ground groaning in pain.

“Do you want to have a taste too, Mr. Kang?” Zhao Chuchu grinned. “Don’t worry. I still know how to pull my punches.”

Kang Liang immediately took a step back.

Zhao Chuchu glared at him. “Speak! Where is Wanwan’s mother? Are you going to answer me, or do you want me to beat it out of you?”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about! How dare you act all arrogant when you barged into my house! I’m going to report you to the officials!”

“Suit yourself! But you better don’t blame me if the Kang clan falls because of this. Do you want the entire city to learn about what you’ve done to your wife and daughter?”

“What I do with my family is my business! Who are you to mock me?”

“Oh? I’m pretty sure that there’s a rumor in the city, right? Do you think I’m overstepping my boundaries here now? Do you really think that you now control Guangqing Province because the Xia clan has fallen? Are you going to ignore the Yuan clan just like that?”

“Are you threatening me?”

“I’m just telling the truth. It’s up to you. Of course, you can try and offend me and see what the Yuan clan will do to you.”

Suddenly, a cough could be heard from inside the house, and it interrupted

Kang Liang.

Kang Liang glared at the lady and quickly went back inside.

Zhao Chuchu could hear the man inside telling Kang Liang, “Enough. Don’t anger her too much.”

“But I’m worried that she won’t treat you.”

“She’s a human. There’s bound to be something that she wants. She’s young too. She’ll be easy to control.” “Then what should we do?”

“Let her in. I’ll personally talk to her.”

After a moment of hesitation, Kang Liang nodded. “Yes, sir.”

Kang Liang quickly returned with an arrogant expression. “Zhao Chuchu, come with me. Someone wants to meet you.”

As he said that, he scanned Zhao Chuchu again. He could tell that Zhao Chuchu was beautiful from the moment he met her, but he was now even more certain of that.

Kang Liang was extremely annoyed. He had planned to have two of his daughters marry his guest so the guest would officially become his backer.

If Zhao Chuchu were to enter, then his daughters would never have the chance to impress the guest.

Regardless of his opinion, he could not go against his guest’s wishes.

“Hurry up and come with me,” Kang Liang ordered.

Zhao Chuchu didn’t move and turned to Kang Xiuwan. “Where is your mother? Let’s head there now. Don’t worry. No one will be able to stop me.”

Kang Xiuwan was still a little worried as they were on the Kang clan’s property.

“Don’t worry.” Zhao Chuchu assured Kang Xiuwan as if she had read the lady’s thoughts. “No one can stop me.”

“Thank you.” Kang Xiuwan finally steeled her heart. She understood that there was no point in her being hesitant. Zhao Chuchu had already gone out of her way to help her. If she hesitated, she would be disrespecting Zhao Chuchu’s generosity.

Kang Liang was completely infuriated when he saw Zhao Chuchu was going to ignore him.

“Halt! Are you deaf?”
